It often happens that problems, without asking permission, literally blow into our lives and make it black-and-white — or sometimes even worse. For some of us it may be a temporary phase, but for others, it’s a lifetime change.
In such moments, it’s important to feel support for a kind of a motivational kick. That’s why we want to share with you the stories of ordinary people who had to face not very pleasant events and managed to overcome them with dignity.
Nick Vujicic
Living without arms and legs, this man and his incredible spirit didn’t get depressed. Moreover, he has become unique proof that in any situation — even in the most difficult ones — you can find yourself and become a happy person. Nick plays golf, surfs, travels around the world, gives motivational speeches, and recently he became a father for the second time. When children on the street ask what happened to him, he confidently answers: ’’It’s because of cigarettes!’’
Bill Porter
When you have a goal and, more importantly, a desire to achieve it, disease won’t be an obstacle for you. Even though Bill Porter has cerebral palsy, he wanted to work in sales. He achieved his goal, and later he became one of the best salesmen in America. The movie ’Door to Door’ is dedicated to his spirit, and it’s recommended for those who think something will hold them back from achieving a desired career.
Evgeny Smirnov
There’s nothing worse for a dancer than to lose the ability to dance. What’s a professional dancer to do when he loses a leg in a traffic accident? Go on dancing! That’s exactly what Evgeny Smirnov, Russian break dance champion, did, despite the fact that he had to learn to dance again. His performance on a dance show became a great example of not only the human spirit, but also the fact that you can dance incredibly cool even without a leg.
Sylvester Stallone
Do you think you have to look like an ideal beauty to become a great actor? God forbid you’re less than perfect. You’re wrong! And if you don’t believe us, you haven’t heard about Sylvester Stallone. As a result of birth trauma, the lower left side of his face is paralyzed, and his mouth is slightly crooked, and his tongue is partly paralyzed too (that’s why he has a little bit slurred speech). Now answer just one question: did it really stopped him from becoming one of the greatest actors of our time?
