Challenge 23: Nick Vujicic

32. Sartre said, “Hell is other people,” while Streisand sang, “People who need people are the luckiest people in the world.” With whom do you agree? (Amherst)

Until few years back, I thought people who can manage things own their own are the luckiest people in the world because they show that they have capability and talents to do so. But after learning about an inspiring person's life, my mind changed. The person who earns all my respect and changed my mind is Nick Vujicic. 


Nick Vujicic's testimony was so powerful. I saw it on a CD video and was shocked to see such a person existed. I had no idea that there was a person without limbs living this earth with the most beautiful smile on his face for his whole life. He can't move, jump, eat, play, nor walk freely as we do. He needs people to help him get out of his bed, get dressed, and move around with him the whole day. Yet, he is respected by all around him for his cheerful, enthusiastic, and positive behavior always. The testimony he gives to people inspired so many out in this world; people change after listening to his life. They cry and hug him and say that they are so thankful to him for allowing them realize the importance of life. 


Actually, he is the one who needs more people to help him. But perhaps, he needs them not for help but to spread happiness to our race and generation. He keeps on moving from one place to another to show people how he lives a happy life and challenge them to be inspired by him and be positive. Maybe, if he wasn't a man without four limbs and does not need people to help him, he couldn't possibly be any extraordinarily lively person. I personally think that he is lucky to be in need of people.
