Live Life Love

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Nick Vujicic love living life. Nick Vujicic says he is happy.

Nick Vujicic goes fishing, golfing and swimming and probably loves the activities. So what big deal. Everybody can do that.

Not so easy when you are down with 1 hand, at bit handicap then and a little difficult. No, not 1 hand but both hands. Now, this is getting much more difficult, a real handicap.

Oh no, not both hands, but minus another leg also. Now you are starting to wonder, how on earth this can happen, real impossible. Really, what if I say it is minus both legs. Which means a person without both hands, and without both legs. You could not believe it, right? Yes, exactly so, Nick Vujicic is without both hands and without both legs.

Rightly so, how we would have pity such a person, to be born into this world, so different from all others, to lead such a sorrowful life as one would succumb to.

Not so for Nick Vujicic. In his words, he has fallen down, and gotten up again. Nick is a source of inspiration to many. His is a story about Life, not just ordinary life, but Great Life.

What about us ordinary people, endowed with all the physio- perfectness, yet has so much more to complain about. Complain about our height, our size, our color, our weight etc etc etc. And in life, when we are faced with the slightest obstacles and problems, we start to blame and condemn the whole world and the people around us for the cause of it, and does nothing about it.

Despite his extreme handicap, Nick Vujicic attitude towards life, serves as good example of the celebration of life over limitations. His attitude towards life has shown how much human spirit can overcome limitations and handle much more. His encouragement to all is to live life and be happy. His attitude is if I fail, I try again, again and again. If you have fallen down, get up again, and if you can’t, you keep on trying. It is only a matter of times, 1 time, 2 times, 3 times…until you get up. And Be Strong.

Challenges in our lives are there to strengthen our conviction. Be strong and hold on to the belief to keep trying, trying and trying.

Check out this video

In this video, he said that he has never met a bitter person who is thankful or a thankful person who is bitter. Nick is thankful for what he has, and not bitter what he has not.

In this case, is it Life without limbs or Life without limits. Nick’s life is a great source of motivation and inspirations to us, to live life to the fullest. So be strong and be happy.

The Girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

The world we are in today is in a mess.  So we say, but what have we done about it. Most of the time nothing.  A lot of talk, a lot of complaining but nothing,  nothing we do about it. 

It makes it more depressing when we see young ones paying attention to world’s problem, and doing something about it.  This is Environmental Child Organisation, (ECO) an organisation of 12 to 13 years of age.

This little girl, Severn Suzuki, representative of the ECO speaks out on world environmental issue.  At the United Nations, she got the world attention, speaking out at world environmental issues, that we as adult, world organisation  must do some.  The world we have today is left for us, and it is us that will leave this place to our future generation.  Out of greed, human desire for gratification has robbed of this earth many things that caused pollution, earth warming and now the depletion of the ozone layer.

Today’s world economic turmoil is making the world see this problem as one big issue confronting everyone.  When will the environmental issues force all governments and people to see this issue as one confronting us equally.  Only when we see our actions or inactions affecting our surrounding to also affect us nonetheless, then we start to care and make the world and environment a better place to live in.  Only then,  our life on this planet improves.

Do watch this little girl speaking at the United Nation that got the attention of the world.
To be exact,  the video is 6.41 minutes.

 

So let’s do something about, spread the message and make this world, our environment and our home a better place to live in.
