(June 2018)?

Answer: Thought I was born without limbs for no medical reason, I came to know from an early age that I was different because of my parents. I love my parents very much and whatever I had achieved today was due to my parents. I knew that they had a lot of worries about me. Putting aside all these worries was so hard for them but right from the start they did their best to make me independent

My dad put me In the water at 18 months and gave the courage to learn how to swim, My father taught me how to type with my toe at just 6 years old and mum invented a special plastic device that meant I could hold a pen and pencil. Despite the risk of being bullied, my parents Insisted me on attending mainstream school which was the best decision they could have made for me and I achieved a degree in Financial Planning and Real estate. It was very hard but it gave me independence

They arranged me an electric wheel chair for mobility and a team of carers to help me. I was deeply depressed when I was eight years old. My mother consoled me and gave the courage to live. At age ten when I tried to drown myself in the bath, they saved me, consoled me and gave the courage to live. When I was 13, my mother gave me a newspaper and made me read an article about a disabled man who had managed to achieve great things and helped others

Then only I realised why God had made me like this - to give hope to others. With the help of my parents I managed to pull through the hard conbditions to become an international symbol of triumph over adversity. Today I play football and golf, swim and surf due to the courage and inspiration given by my parents. Now I became a motivational speaker and I am encouraging the people who are in need. So I am very thankful to my parents for the pains they had taken to make me a successful person and a great motivational speaker

Answer: I was thoroughly disappointed. Why should I live like this ? When all other children walk and run I have to lie down on the ground with ray face down. It is disgracing and it is disgusting too. How can,I live a family life in this condition ? Will any girl love me? The .other boys at school have always been bullying me. Every time they see me they point to me and say, Look, there creeps a worm. It saddens me. I cant talk back to them. I cant fight with them. They are physically stronger than me. Even if I were strong I dont think I would be able to fight with anyone

I love my parents. But I think they have a lot of worries about me. I wanted to put an end to their worries. The only way was to end my life. There was the bath. When there-was no one to look at I stood near the tub and looked into it I saw my own face in the water. It was calling me and I dived in, Water entered my nostrils. I was gasping for breath. With head deep in the bath I stood upside down in It with my chicken drum-stick wagging ¡n the air

I dont know what happened to me.in the bath. Idont know how I came out alive. When I opened my eyes I saw myself lying on a bed. My father was sitting near me, My mother was sitting on my bed with tears in her eyes. She was asking me, "Nick, why did you do it ?" Later I decided to use my life to encourage other people and give them the courage that the article had given me." The challenges in our lives are there to strengthen our convictions. They are not there torun us over." Now I have become I have a motivational speaker
