He was born without arms or legs in 1982 Australia however, this didn't stop him from getting a degree with a double major in accounting and financial planning. It also hasn't stopped him from making huge sums of money that those who lost their homes, their jobs or even had other possessions repo'ed don't have or they wouldn't be where they are. Remember, there is a big difference in having something to lose and never having had it in the first place. This man is a preacher, a motivational speaker and director of the non-profit organization known as Life without Limbs. He has no doubt had to deal with many shortcomings throughout his life but he is clearly in the driver's seat and doing quite well.

It is better to have tried and failed...than to never have tried at all

Seen him before. His gifts shine through his physical limitations. The message to me is that everyone brings something to the table-- sometimes their gifts shines through any adversity and sometimes we have to look harder to see their gifts.

Thanks for posting!! My friend wrecked his bike last summer and for NOW is mostly paralyzed from the neck down. His attitude is good, probably better than before the wreck. But every time I talk to him it is about how we are gonna put his bike back together and how he is gonna ride it again.
