'''Nicholas James "Nick" Vujicic''' ({{IPAc-en|'|v|ɔɪ|tʃ|ɪ|tʃ}} {{respell|VOY|i-chich}}; {{lang-sr|Николас Џејмс Вујичић, ''Nikolas Džejms Vujičić''}}; born 4 December 1982) is an Australian [[Christian evangelist]] and [[Motivational speaking|motivational speaker]] born with [[tetra-amelia syndrome]], a rare disorder characterised by the absence of all four limbs. As a child, he struggled mentally and emotionally as well as physically, but eventually came to terms with his disability and, at the age of seventeen, started his own non-profit organisation, Life Without Limbs. Vujicic presents motivational speeches worldwide which focus on life with a [[disability]], hope and finding meaning in life. He also speaks about his belief that God can use any willing heart to do his work and that God is big enough to overcome any disability. |

Vujicic graduated from [[Griffith University]] at the age of 21 with a [[Bachelor of Commerce]], with a [[double major]] in [[accountancy]] and [[financial plan]]ning. Subsequently he became a [[motivational speaking|motivational speaker]], travelling internationally and focusing on teenagers' issues. Having addressed over three million people in over 44 countries on five continents,<ref name="corpbio">{{cite web|url=http://www.attitudeisaltitude.com/aboutus-nick.php|title=Attitude is Altitude: No Arms, No Legs, No Worries|accessdate=28 September 2009}}</ref> he speaks to corporate audiences, congregations and schools. |

I was born on the same day that [[Concepción, Chile]] suffered an earthquake in the same year that [[Cortina d'Ampezzo]] held the [[Winter Olympics]]. The [[Purley, London|town]] was still in this [[Surrey|county]] though today it is part of this [[London|city]]. |
|||
Vujicic promotes his work through television shows and through his writing. His first book, ''Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life'' (Random House, 2010) was published in 2010. He markets a motivational DVD, ''Life's Greater Purpose'', a short documentary filmed in 2005 highlighting his home life and regular activities. The second part of the DVD was filmed at his local church in [[Brisbane]] – one of his first professional motivational speeches. He markets a DVD for young people titled ''No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!''.<ref name="amazoncom01">{{cite web|url=http://www.amazon.com/Nick-Vujicic-DVD-Arms-Worries/dp/B0047ENZLQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1382669138&sr=1-1&keywords=Nick+Vujicic|title=No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!|accessdate=24 October 2013}}</ref> |

The first [[Upminster|place]] I remember living was in this [[Essex|county]] just down the street from the [[Upminster Bridge tube station|station]] and very close to a minor [[Upminster Windmill|landmark]]. We would [[London Underground|ride]] to the [[Dagenham Heathway tube station|station]] [[Dagenham|here]] where my father [[Pharmacist|worked]]. |
|||
In March 2008, he was interviewed by Bob Cummings for the ''[[20/20 (US television series)|20/20]]'' American television show. |
|||
After a few years we [[Dudley|moved]] but only stayed for a year. Next we moved to [[Blackheath, London|here]], which is very close to a more [[Greenwich|famous]] place. There were several things of [[Royal Greenwich Observatory|interest]] in the area such as [[Gipsy Moth IV|this]] and [[Cutty Sark|this]]. Of course this [[Prime Meridian|imaginary]] line was here but at the time I did not know that it would rule my working life. |

He starred in the short film ''[[The Butterfly Circus]]'', which won the [[Doorpost Film Project]]'s top prize of 2009<ref name="doorpostaward">{{cite web|url=http://168project.blogspot.com/2009/09/los-angeles-ca-writer-producers-joshua.html|title=Butterfly Circus Wins The Doorpost Film Project's $100,000 First Prize|accessdate=24 October 2013}}</ref> and the Best Short Film award at the Method Fest Film Festival, where Vujicic was also awarded Best Actor in a short film.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}} Butterfly Circus also won the best short film award at [[The Feel Good Film Festival]] in Hollywood in 2010.<ref name="butterflycircusawards">{{cite web|url=http://videos.disabled-world.com/video/332/inspirational-nick-vujicic-video-clip?no_redirect=true|title=Disabled World Towards Tomorrow|accessdate=24 October 2013}}</ref> |

Later we [[Campbeltown|moved]] and lived [[Scotland|there]] for a few years. While there I met this [[Angus MacVicar|author]] and these [[Paul McCartney|two]] [[Jack Bruce|bass]] players. Both of them lived in the area, the first [[Farm|here]] and the second on [[Sanda, Scotland|this island]]. Another [[Gigha|island]] close by was noted for its gardens created by [[Horlicks|Sir James]]. |

In the same [[Australopithecus afarensis|year]] that this was discovered I [[Canada|emigrated]], having been offered a [[Hudson's Bay Company|job]]. I was first posted to Taloyoak and after a year was transferred to Holman. I got married, had two kids and after 20 years we [[Cambridge Bay, Nunavut|moved]] and I've lived [[Kitikmeot Region, Nunavut|here]] ever since. |

Nicholas James "Nick" Vujicic (/ˈvɔɪtʃɪtʃ/ VOY-i-chich; [Николас Џејмс Вујичић, Nikolas Džejms Vujičić] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help); born 4 December 1982) is an Australian Christian evangelist and motivational speaker born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterised by the absence of all four limbs. As a child, he struggled mentally and emotionally as well as physically, but eventually came to terms with his disability and, at the age of seventeen, started his own non-profit organisation, Life Without Limbs. Vujicic presents motivational speeches worldwide which focus on life with a disability, hope and finding meaning in life. He also speaks about his belief that God can use any willing heart to do his work and that God is big enough to overcome any disability.
During secondary school, Vujicic was elected captain of Runcorn State High School in Queensland and worked with the student council on fundraising events for local charities and disability campaigns. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his prayer group[2] and later founded his non-profit organisation, Life Without Limbs.
Vujicic has written that he keeps a pair of shoes in his closet due to his belief in miracles.[3]
In 2005 Vujicic was nominated for the Young Australian of the Year Award.[citation needed]
