No Worries


Do you think you would be as positive as Nick Vujicic if your circumstances were similar to his? Does his positive outlook on life surprise or impress you?  What would you find (if anything) most challenging, frustrating, or sad if you were Nick?  Why?

I wouldn't be positive if I didn't have arms or legs. It does impress me that he is so positive, maybe he's just used to it. I would be pretty frustrated that I didn't have arms or legs. You can't write, run, or anything, maybe that's just me.

I would have a bad attitude at and towards everything. It surprises me because i would be so miserable. I think driving would be the most difficult.

I probably wouldn't be as positive if I lost all my limbs right now. If I was born without them then I would not miss them because i never had them. I would have to give up most of my hobbies and would not be able to do things as easily. Nick's outlook is impressive and people get depressed for a lot less.

If I had the same circumstances as him, I probably would be just as positive as he is. I think his positive outlook is very impressive, considering most people with average lives complain daily about their problems. I knew I used to, but I realized I was just being stupid, and that most of us have it pretty good. In fact, if I were him I would find doing guard like I do challenging, but I'd try. It'd be hard for me to spin something as long as I am. But that would never affect my outlook on life.

I don't think I could be as positive as Nick Vujicic if I had no arms or legs. I love that he is so happy-go-lucky and still appreciates life and the joy of living. His story should inspire others and show that no matter what, you can overcome anything. I would find it most challenging if I were in Nick's shoes, or lack thereof. I don't think I would have the same attitude as Nick, but I would try to manage everyday tasks.

I don't think I would possibly be able to be so positive as him. Him being so positive surprises me because you would think he wouldn't want to do anything at all. Instead he pursues at trying to do whatever any other human being can do. I think that it would be frustrating to me because you aren't able to do what everyone else does.

If I had no arms and legs, I hope I would be as positive as Nick Vujicic. His positive outlook on life is beyond impressive. If I were in Vujicic's shoes it would be hard to smile through all the surgeries and judgmental comments. Somehow, he has managed to prove the odds, and is more determined about life than most people with no disabilities. He focuses on his abilities instead of his disabilities.

There is no way that I would be positive if I had no arms and legs. Personally, his positive outlook impresses me. I wish I always was as positive as he is. I think the most challenging thing would be everyday routines. I have no idea how he does that. However, he is very inspirational and I plan on being much happier from now on.

I could not be as positive as Nick is. It does impress me how he knows he is different but doesn't let anything stop him. I really feel bad for him like how he cannot hold his wife's hand. But I believe in him and he has proved that he can do anything.

This man is amazing. I would never be able to be as positive as Nick Vujicic if I didn't have any arms and legs. Nick Vujicic has impressed me on his outlook on life. I would find not have arms and legs all challenging, frustrating, and sad. I can't believe how happy and successful this man is.

Lekedria said...

I know I couldn't be as positive as him. I would probably be inside everyday, because I'd be embarrassed or didn't want anybody to see my condition. He's seems like he doesn't worry about people he just lives his life without any worries.

I respect him in many ways. He doesn't sit back and complain about what he don't have. Many people who you could be in his position would probably give up on life. I know everyday is challenging for him, but he is so positive. He seems like a very funny person to be around.

There is no way I could be as positive as Nick Vujicic if I didn't have arms and legs. He is awesome. His positive outlook is very inspiring. If I was like Nick I think everything would be very challenging. I do everything with my hands, texting, typing, driving, ect.

Katheryn Cook said...

I would hate living if I was him. He seems so happy. I would love to have a good attitude if I was like him, but I know I wouldn't. I would be frustrated when I saw other people grabbing stuff and walking and I know that I would never be able to do that stuff. I love that he never gives up on anything he does or anything.

Honestly, I know I could not be as positive as Nick. His positive outlook doesn't really surprise me though. He seems like he would be really happy even if he wasn't born like that. I'd say the most challenging thing would be not having hands to grad things.

Holly Watson said...

It's really hard to think I would be as positive as Nick. His look on life is amazing. He still lives his life even though everything is hard for him to do. If I was him, I would miss doing gymnastics and cheer leading. I would have to have someone help me do everything. I would have to have someone feed me. I wouldn't be able to drive. There would be so many things I would miss out on because I have no limbs.

To me I don't think I would be positive as he is. His outlook on life impresses me, It makes me know I can do anything if I put my mind to it. It would bother me if I see people grabbing or running some where. He is a true trooper. He really encourage me.

Tyler R said...

Yes I could be positive but maybe not as much as him. It impresses me. It would be most challenging to get around.

Breanna said...

He is so inspirational. I don’t think I could be as happy as him if I didn’t have my arms and legs. He is so happy and doesn’t act like he is helpless at all. It really impresses me on how positive his outlook on life is. I’m sure he has figured out how to do everything but it must have been frustrating going and figuring how to do things. Probably learning to do anything like drink or walking would make me so mad.

Kelsey Taylor said...

I would not be happy if I didn't have arms or legs. It does surprise me that he is so happy because I wouldn't be. Maybe he is just used to it though. I'd find it most challenging because I couldn't walk or pick stuff up.

There is no way that I would be positive if I had no arms and legs. Yes because most people wont even want to show themselves. That people would feel bad for him even though hes happy the way he was. Its cool how he never gives up even though pretty much everything he does is a challenge.

Hunter Dixon said...

I could not be positive if i did not have arm and legs. His positive outlook does impress me. I would find it complicated to make food or play sports.

I don't think I would be positive if I was in his situation. He has a really good attitude about everything. If I was like that I think everything would be challenging at first. He is so inspiring because he doesn't let anything hold him back, and he's so positive about everything.

I think I would probably not want to live anymore if I was in this guys condition. I wonder if he is able to reproduce, and if so, will his children be born with the same conditions he does? I feel sympathy for him because he will never be able to do many things that a normal person will be able to do.

Abby Haring said...

It would be really hard to be positive but I might reach a point to where I would just be tired of being unhappy. He doesn't only impress me but inspires me. He really is a hero in my eyes by talking to children and spreading encouragement to all. I think the most sad thing is that he will never be able to hold his baby or hold his wives hand. Knowing his attitude though he will make the most out of every situation.

Cass C said...

I would not be positive if my circumstances were similar to his.His positive outlook impresses me, because i couldn't imagine being put in his situation. The thing i would find most frustrating would be having no hands.

Jordan said...

If I had no arms or legs I would most likely not be able to stay postitive like him, I couldnt embrace his deformity like him. His positive outlook on life impresses me, he makes having no arms or legs cool. I would find not being able to make a sandwich or change the TV channel, little stuff like that.

Hunter Alexander said...

I wouldn't be positive as Nick. His positive outlook does impress me. Just getting around would frustrate me.

Darion said...

If I were born without arms and legs, I could be as positive as Nick. If I lost them right now, I would be a wreck. His positive outlook impresses me. I would find playing video games and punching/kicking annoying people most frustrating if I were Nick.
