  Nick Vujicic

  Imagine getting through your busy day without hands or legs. Picture your life without the ability to walk, care for your basic needs, or even hug those you love. Meet Nicholas Vujicic. Without any medical explanation or warning, Nick was born in 1982 inMelbourne, Australia, without arms and legs.

  The early days were difficult. Throughout his childhood, Nick not only dealt with the typical challenges of school and adolescence, but he also struggled with depression(抑郁) and loneliness. Nick constantly wondered why he was different from all the other kids. He questioned the purpose of life.

  After experiencing many difficulties, Vujicic eventually began to realize that his experiences were inspiring to many people and began to be thankful for being alive. A key turning point in his life was when his mother showed him a newspaper article about a man dealing with a severe disability. This led him to realise he was not the only one with major struggles. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks. He has traveled around the world, sharing his story with millions, sometimes in stadiums full of people, speaking to a range of various groups such as students, teachers, young people, business professionals and so on. He has visited more than 50 countries and given thousands of talks. Now he is an encouraging speaker with TED.

  Vujicic promotes his work through television shows and through his writing. His first book, Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life, was published by Random House in 2010. He markets a motivational DVD, Life’s Greater Purpose, a short documentary(纪录片) filmed in 2005. He markets a DVD for young people titled No Arms, No Legs, No Worries! In March 2008, Vujicic was interviewed by Bob Cummings for the 20/20 American television show.

  According to Nick, the victory over his struggles, as well as his strength and passion(激情) for life today, can be owning to the power of hope. His family, friends and the many people he has met along the journey have inspired him to carry on, as well. Today this energetic young gentle man has achieved more than most people achieve in a lifetime.

  How to Tell Time Like a Man

  Our digital watch has two sides... tough and tougher.Get it now foran unbelievable $59!

  Your watch shouldn’t cost more than your car. It should look and feel like a power tool and not a piece of flashy jewellery. Wearing it shouldn’t make you think twice about swinging a hammer or changing a tire. A real man’s timepiece needs to be ready for anything. But that’s just my opinion. If you agree, maybe you're ready for the StauerCenturion Hybrid. Use your Promotional Code below and I’ll send it to you today for ONLY $59.

  This is a LOT of machine for not a lot of money. The Stauer Centurion Hybrid sports a heavy-duty metal body,detailed with a rotating bezel(旋转表圈) that allows you to track directions. The luminous(发光的.)hour and minute hands mean you can keep working into the night. And the double digital displays give this watch more than one ability. The LCD windows displays the time, day and date, includes a stopwatch function, and a bright green backlight. We previously offered the Centurion for $199, but with the promotional code it's yours for ONLY $59!

  No matter what, this watch can keep up. Thanks to the Stauer 30- day Money Back Guarantee, you’ve got time to prove it. If you're not totally satisfied, return it for a full refund of the purchase price. You also get a 2-year replacement guarantee on both movements. But I have a feeling the only problem you'll have is deciding whether to keep the StauerCenturion on your dresser (化妆台)or put inside your toolbox.
