Nicholas James Vujicic born on December 4, 1982, is an Australian

evangelist and famous motivational speaker born with tetra-amelia

syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of arms and legs.
He was born with no arms and no legs. On the morning of his birth, his
father was so stunned, he almost fainted. Nicks mother refused to look at
him or hold him for 4 long months. Doctors said Nick would be a vegetable.
Rather, he learned to write, operate an electric wheelchair and use a
computer with his toes. Rather than sending Nick to a specialized school
for children with disabilities, his parents sent him to a public school.

His schoolfellows bullied him and teased him constantly because of

the way he looked. Growing up, Nick struggled with depression and felt
completely hopeless. When Nick was 10 years old he tried to drown himself
in his family’s bathtub. After several attempts, he realized that he didn’t
want his loved ones to suffer. Nick eventually came to terms with his
disability and worked on adopting a positive attitude. At the age of 17, he
had an inspiring encounter with his high school janitor that changed his life
forever. The janitor told Nick that “You’re going to be a speaker”. The
janitor saw something in Nick that he didn’t see himself and encouraged
him to share his story. Nick gave his first speech in front of an audience of
six students. After realizing that he wasn’t alone in his struggles, Nick
wanted to help others find hope and meaning in life.

Nick decided to go into Public Speaking to inspire others. Nick

founded his non-profit organization ‘Life Without Limbs’. It gave him a
platform to share his testimony and campaign against bullying. Since then,
Nick has traveled to over sixty countries and inspired millions of people
around the world. Nick has given over 3000 speeches, speaking to people
from all walks of life. Today, Nick is one of the most in-demand motivational
speakers in the world. Nick has learned not to let his limitations stop him
from enjoying a happy life.Nick has been skydiving, surfs, swims and paint
in his spare time. In 2008, Nick met a woman that came to hear him give a
Motivational Speech. They fell madly in love and got married four years
later. Today Nick Vujicic is the father of 4 children. Nick Vujicic’s first book
is a bestselling book and has been translated too over 30 languages.

Nick Vujicic obviously has a very hard time in sustaining in his life as
his downs are way more than the ups in life. He could not go to the toilet
alone, he could not eat his own food. When he was little, he saw a couple
strolling down the beach holding hands, he thought that he could not hold
his wife's hand in the future nor giving a hug to his kids, it broke him into
pieces as he could not enjoy the little things in life. But till today he lives
proudly and gives off motivational speeches in churches or universities
about how did overcame the obstacles in his limbless life, he shared to the
public how even him can live his life to every extent possible. With a little
faith and believe in god he had lead and motivated millions of people
around the world, he leads by sharing his experiences and briefly tells his
followers how they should approach their obstacles but not how to do it.
This hints me that Nick Vujicic is an inspirational and democratic leader, his
type of democratic leading is slightly different as his audiences have no
similar goals with Nick. His democratic leadership leads his followers in a
different as it encourages and inspires them instead of having them directly
focused onto a specific goal.
