Nick Vujicic
Nick Vujicic was born in
Melbourne, Australia on December 4th,
1982. As is often the case, a new-born
infant will bring happiness and
joy to
the whole family. However, nick was born without
limbs, which
made his father disgusting
at first and his
mother dared to hold
him
four
months
later.
From
no
limbs
to
no
limits,
Nick
creates
a
life
miracle.
Although
he
did
encounter
frustration
and
even
deep
self-
abasement, he conquered them eventually. What he
impresses me
most is his extraordinary
optimism. No limbs can be a great obstacle
for everyone. However, he pokes fun at
himself for that ―no arms, no
legs,
no
worries‖.
―Attitude
is
altitude‖——
He
put
considerable
emphasis on
attitude being the most powerful weapon we have at
our
disposal.
Nick
proved
through
his
own
life
that
the
major
keys
in
accomplishing
our
biggest
dreams
are
persistence
and
choosing
to
embrace failure as a learning
experience, rather than allowing the guilt
and fear of failure to paralyze us.
That’s his attitude towards life and
undoubtedly he creates a great
altitude.
Martin Luther King
Martin Luther King, who was born in
1929,is well-known to us all
as a
freedom fighter. When he was fifteen, he went to
university. He
fought for politic
rights for black people in the USA. He demanded
that blacks shouldn't be treated as
slaves but should have equal rights.
On
December,1,1955,a black woman in Alabama was
arrested by the
police for she had
refused to stand up for a white man on bus. King
