This book is written about an extraordinary man who is called Nick Vujicic. He was born without arms and legs. He grew up in Australia. It is not surprising that Nick’s life is not going smoothly and easily. When he was young, he was upset by lots of negative words. These negative lies, words of teasing and bullying nearly killed Nick’s life. Luckily, he got his parent’s love and encouragement so that he realized his value was not judged by his out-looking appearance. Then he not only survived. Later he graduated with a double degree in financial planning and accounting. He also got married and has two sons and two daughters. But what is the turning point for Nick’s life? It is all about his dream.

Nick shares with us how he strives to accomplish his dream to become a motivational speaker. He has even encouraged millions of people to pursue their dreams through his speeches. Nick tells us from this book that our life is driven by our dream. Dream exists in our life long before it comes true. To have a dream is to pursue life with purpose. He also shares with us many encouraging words in this book. For example, he tells us that we will have the courage to face difficulties if we have a clear purpose. We don’t know what we can achieve until we try. There are no failures in life. Every failure is a learning opportunity. Don’t be discouraged by failure. Cherish every opportunity that we can learn to become better.

This book is not only suitable for children’s reading but also good for adults. For children, they could learn to embrace all challenges with a smile, love, and thankfulness. For adults, they could learn from this book that their encouraging words and behaviour may help their children or youngsters learn to be loving, patient, responsible and compassionate. Therefore, both adults and children could cherish life and be grateful for what they have.
