The man who leads with no limbs
Features correspondent
‘I have no arms and legs that weigh me down,' How a man born without arms or legs learned to swim, surf, skydive – and speak in front of thousands
The man standing before the stadium-sized crowd held the attention of thousands, in part because of humorous, yet moving, speech about the power of hope. But also because he was standing there at all.
Nick Vujicic, the 32-year-old president of motivational speech marketer Attitude is Altitude, was born without arms or legs. Though he struggles with some practicalities of everyday living (brushing teeth, for example), he has become an in-demand inspirational speaker.
There is no medical explanation for Vujicic’s physical disability, an extremely rare congenital disorder known as tetra-amelia syndrome. He has a small foot on his left hip which helps him balance. He can type, pick things up between his toes and even kick a ball. The self-confessed adrenalin junkie regularly swims and has gone skydiving.

Last night I attended a book talk at Jan Miller’s home. Highland Park’s literary agent extraordinaire is known for hosting notable authors at her abode, but Nick Vujicic was really in a class of his own. Born without legs and arms, Nick is president and CEO of the non-profit Life Without Limits.
What impressed me most about Nick was not just that he’s a good speaker (although he is) — it was that every word he spoke was inherently good. This excerpt from his latest book, Unstoppable, will give you an idea of what I’m talking about:

My physical challenges are easy to see, yet people only have to talk to me or hear me speak for a few minutes to understand how much joy I have in spite of that. So they often ask me how I stay positive and where I find the strength to overcome my disabilities. My answer, always, is, “I pray for God’s help, and then I put my faith in action.”
Nick may be missing limbs, but his life is far from lacking. He has a beautiful wife, a baby on the way, and a powerful ministry that has saved lives world

Nick Vujicic – No Arms, No Legs, No Limits
IN BRIEF: If you do not know who Nick Vujicic is, this post is for you. This post is dedicated to this remarkable man and his challenges and pit falls in life. Vitally, this post is to decipher his way of living through disabilities, and use his life as a template of inspiration for all of us.
The first thing that strikes you about Nick Vujicic is his limitless ability to love, his zest for life, and this amazing sense of humor. One couldn’t miss those qualities in him even if he stood in a crowd of ‘normal people with limbs’. But the first time I came across his video on youtube; Nick was not in a crowd, and he was not like other normal people with limbs. There was a man, standing tall On a desk placed on the dais, with both his arms and both his legs missing; inspiring hundreds of students with the incredible story that is his life. I was left as inspired as anyone in the room full of audience must have been.
