describe the plight of Nick vujicic in his own words
Answers
Nick Vujicic: Many people who have a disability may not be able to do what other people do, but maybe have other abilities. Scientifically, it is proven that if someone has a hearing impairment, they have other senses that are even sharper, like touch. The people who don’t have sight can actually hear better. So as far as ability versus disability [goes], I know that with my disability, there’s nothing good about it, but at the same time, you can change your obstacles into opportunities.
Now, that’s focused my ability to be more courageous, more confident, I’ve now trained to be a speaker and I don’t know who I’d be if I had arms and legs. I don’t know what I’d be doing. I mean, who knows—I might have been a drug-addicted, gambling-addicted rock star for all I know, if I had arms and legs. But having no arms and no legs has given me the ability to be thankful for what I have; it doesn’t mean that I’m a superhero or that I am always happy—I go through ups and downs as well. As far as your question goes—that’s with disability and ability—the second part of your question was?
Junior Reporter: Who in this world is “disabled?”
NV: See, you can have arms and legs, and have everything on the outside but still be broken on the inside. I think fear is the biggest disability of all. There are rational fears, and then irrational fears.
When I was born without arms and legs, my parents were thinking, well, what kind of life was I going to have. Now, that’s a good fear to sort of ponder on, and to try and work out something good. But the fear that I’m talking about is the fear of what people think of you, the fear of failing, the fear of being alone. Those fears, I believe, are disabling on the inside. You can have arms and legs, but still look at yourself and say, “Oh, I wish I were different,” or “I wish I had more,” or “I wish I were smarter,” or “I wish I wish I got a better job,” or “I wish I had more friends,” or “I wish I had more money.”
You know, all these sort of things that we hope for on the outside actually never heal you on the inside. And so it’s the truth of 3 things: 1) the truth of your value, 2) the truth of your purpose, and 3) the truth of your destiny.
Your value is not determined [by] how you look. Your value is not determined [by] what you can do, or how smart you are. It’s not necessarily as well what you end up having or what you end up achieving. The question for me every day is, “Did I do my best today?” That is the best thing to ask yourself. It’s not, “Did I do what you did and did you do what I did?” It’s about “Did I achieve what I know was meant to be for my life?” So set your dreams high, and set high goals, and if it’s meant to be, it’s going to happen, and if not, be happy with who you are, be thankful for what you have, and do your best.
That gives you the 3 greatest things in my life. Once you know the value and the purpose and the destiny of your life, then you have love, joy and peace. And that’s something that money cannot buy. Love, joy, and peace. Thank you so much for your question.
Sara Ku: So now you’re working for charity and going to different places around the world; are there any other goals in your life that you want to achieve?
NV: Absolutely. You know, I’m very thankful for the opportunity I have as a speaker—I’ve been able to speak 1500 times across 34 countries, I’ve met 4 presidents, spoken in front of 5 congresses, there’re about 1 billion people who know about me in the world, through YouTube, media, newspapers, reporters—so I’m very, very excited about that.
My goal is to travel less, because I’ve been travelling a lot, but reach millions of people at the same time. So releasing a book really makes sense. So website and weekly blogging is what I want to work on someday, where people can be encouraged every single week, and feel like I’m in there living room to motivate them, like a personal motivational speaker.
So my goal is to reach as many people as possible, with a message of hope, but at the same time, I really believe that there is a greater cause that we can all do in giving back to society. I think, if we all did our part, this world would be a very different place.
When you want to see hope in this world, you have to be hope. When you don’t have a friend, be a friend. You want to see generosity, be generosity. You want to see more patience in the world, be patience. You want to see more integrity, be integrity. It starts with you. You want to see schools not teasing any more, you’re the one who stops teasing. You’re the one who stands up for the one being teased. The difference starts with you. Never in the world has there ever been so many hungry people. There are a billion people hungry today. Even with all the billions of dollars that went into needy places around the world, there needs to be a sustainable project. And so I think that inspiring the next generation to support sustainable projects that give back society around the world is key.
