This clip shows a range of messages such as to encourage people to live their daily lives are always happy and would find the strength to get up after falling. In addition, this message has never given up in life. I own that was inspired by this clip for each of us has strengths and weaknesses in their own lives and we could not handle the way Nick Vujicic is not. This clip has meant to me in many different ways of life as Nick Vujicic has operated his own life even with disabilities. After I watched this clip, I never realized how strong the human spirit. This clip also bring awareness to all people and also because I always worried every time I have a problem or is not satisfied even with small things. With that, I will try to adopt a good attitude in whatever situation I faced. After this, no matter how you will start but how you will solve. I also realized that the challenges in this life is not much to strengthen our confidence and not doing our life. With this, I am very grateful for what I have and do not feel bitter for what I lack. And the most important one is, we believe and are confident to yourself in everything you do.
