Nick Vujicic is my idol.

I've watched his speeches dozens of times on YouTube.

I can even repeat parts of them.

Nick Vujicic. Who is he?

Let me show you his TED Talk video.

Go ahead.

I'd like to see what's so special about him.

Hey, is he the man in the checked shirt?

Yeah, and if you look closer,

you can see that he's a man without arms or legs.

Was he born that way?

Yes, he was.

Life has been hard for him since he was a child.

What happened to him when he was young?

He was often laughed at and bullied because he had no arms or legs.

Some people even told him,

“Nick, you're not good enough.

You'll never get a job or get married.

You can't even hold your wife's hand.”

Did he give up hope after hearing those mean words?

Yes, he did.

At first, he wanted to end his life,

but then his parents found out and told him he was beautiful and special.

They encouraged him by saying, “Never say never.”

Wow! His parents really loved him a lot.

They sure did,

and because of them, he started to have more belief in himself.

Now, he's making a difference by sharing his life story with people all over the world.

That's touching.

Maybe it's time for me to think about how to do something meaningful with my own life.
