He's motivation speaker and evangelist.

I am Polish, recently in my city Wrocław an ecumenical meeting took place, under which Mr. Nick Vujicic for the city stadium, the organizer were protestant churches in my city, and the co-organizers of the Catholic Church (I am a Catholic) and the Orthodox Church in Poland

Yes. He's of Serbian descent and Serbia is one of my special interests. He's an amazing man and has accomplished a lot.

It is amazing how it can be achieved without arms and legs, although he has one small deformed leg.

I would like to have as much optimism and confidence as he does

Not until you mentioned him, I had never heard of Nick Vujicic. It's always nice to hear of more interesting people out there in the world. And more Aspie Catholic--hello again Pawel.

That guy sounds like a legend. Glad you brought him up. Ordinarily I avoid big conferences and ecumenical meetings, as the noise bothers me and I tend to overload on it. But people like him are the reason those things are worth going to!

The optimism and confidence? I read his bio and it sounds like he attempted suicide at one point...so it's a good thing he's feeling as frisky as he is. That's awesome that he recovered from depression and all that. We might want a little of whatever he's having!

I saw a show about him once and he was taking driving lessons. Some of the things Nick does borders on the audacious and dangerous, but his overall positive attitude is inspiring.

Good video. He acknowledged the tough parts of his life and didn't pretend anything was easy, but he isn't defeated by them. In a lot of ways, he is like one of my favorite tennis players, Denis Istomin, also no stranger to adversity.
