Never Ever Give Up!!! => By @rajivv203

Hello Steemians!! Hope everything is fine at your end! I am participating in @inuke’s story writing challenge #8: Never Ever Give Up!!! This is based on real life incidents.

Let's get started!!

Some important quotes

Let me set the precursor to this article by starting off with some quotes from a famous personality.

It's a lie to think you are not good enough. It's a lie to think you are not worth anything

If you can't get a miracle, become one.

If I fail , I try again, and again, and again.

If you have guessed which gentleman said this, you are right!! I am speaking about Nick Vujicic. You might think what is so special about this guy? There are lot of quotes from great philosophers and historians and others who have accomplished great things in life. In that case, why does the quotes of this guy stand out?

Introduction

Before we get into why he is so special, let me give you his introduction. Nick Vujicic was born (Nicholas James Vujicic) in Melbourne, Australia, in 1982 to Dušanka and Borislav Vujičić, Serbian immigrants from Yugoslavia. Vujicic graduated from Griffith University at the age of 21 with a Bachelor of Commerce degree, with a double major. He is an International Motivation Speaker, an Entrepreneur and New York Times Best Selling Author. If you think all this could be achieved by anybody, just think out loud and see how many people around you achieve something like this.

Nicholas James Vujicic

I am stressing on this because Nick, unlike most of us is a Divyang, which translates to "specially abled". I am using "specially abled" because I refuse to use the word "disabled". A physical limitation is never a limitation of one's mental abilities. It is one's attitude and outlook towards life that makes him/her what he/she becomes.

Early Childhood

Nick was born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder (called phocomelia) characterized by the absence of arms and legs. He is one of the seven known individuals planet-wide who live with the syndrome. Vujicic has two small and deformed feet, one of which he calls his "chicken drumstick" because of its shape.

Originally, he was born with the toes of that foot fused. So an operation was performed to separate the toes so that he could use them as fingers to grab, turn a page, or perform other functions. He has been able to use his foot to operate an electric wheelchair, a computer and a mobile phone. Vujicic says he had an "amazingly normal childhood", despite the fact that he was constantly bullied throughout his schooling. He has faced all odds in life and completed degree in Commerce and a double major in Accountancy and Financial Planning.

Accomplishments and Personal Life

In 2005, Vujicic founded an international non-profit organisation named Life Without Limbs.
