This 32-year-old man has something that none of us have. Powerful words, inspirational voice and the ability to convey a whole world through this talks. Currently, he is touring the world, and is expected to remain in Vietnam from March 23 to 25, according to tuotrenews.

However, what is it that Nicholas Vujicic does not have, which all of us take for granted?

Simple. He does not have hands and legs.

In spite of three sonogram tests, he was born without limbs, according to indiatimes. He had an extremely rare congenital condition called tetra-amelia syndrome. When he joined school, people used to make fun of him. While struggling mentally and emotionally, apart from physically, as a boy, he tried commit suicide at the age of 10.

In 2008, he met his wife, and they got married in 2012, after which they settled in South California and got a healthy baby boy the following year.

That is of course the hugest deprivation that we can think of. He explains on his site: "The early days were difficult."

As a child, he faced not only the usual problems in school through teenage, but also struggled with depression and loneliness. Why did he lack something that everyone had? He questioned the purpose of life, or if he even had one, he wondered, according to BBC.

Finally, he decided to begin fighting back. He felt that he could do a lot more than change his life. He could help millions to change theirs. So since he was 19, he began to tour the world in order to help everyone amend their fortunes.

Otherwise, he does some simple things that no one else does. He is just an author, musician and enjoys fishing and painting. One little foot on his left hip gives him balance. He can also type, pick up things between his toes and even kick a ball. The "adrenalin junkie" swims and goes skydiving regularly.

He wrote 'Love Without Limits' and is the 32-year-old president of motivational speech marketer, 'Attitude is Altitude'. He now lives in California with his wife, Kanae, and their two-year-old son and are expecting another child later in 2015.
