Be positive!

Today I read a news about an Australian who has no arms and legs since he was born, only using a little muscle under his left waist which he calls, "chicken leg" to do many activities such as soccer, golf, dance and music. Right now, I don't know exact how old he is, but I think must be older than me. He has completed 2 bachelors about something business administration and finance...

In his face, I can't see any confusion, self-abasement or disappointment. He still claims his "little leg" as a chicken leg, tries to utilize every parts of his body to enjoy his life. Because of his positive spirit, Hong Kong government invited him to visit Hong Kong for cheering up everyone here to overcome the unexpected future from economic turn-down.

It reminds me a saying, "所有過去的都是零, 所有将来的都是重新开始" (All the past are zero, all the future are just the beginning).

你會起來奮鬥,還是倒下放棄?
祇有永不放棄,才可以成為真正的勝利者.
你會否決定特定的夢想?
沒有目標是大的,沒有夢想是遙不可及的.
問題是:你會堅強地完成旅程嗎?

我剛好就在23號晚去他的佈道會.
主辦單位為樂苗基金及中國基督教播道會同福堂和有超過二十間堂會及機構協辦

Nick Vujicic(力克)25歲而已..
(http://lifewithoutlimbs.org/about-nick-vujicic.php)

他喜歡拿他的身體來開玩笑和作弄人.
試過叫他朋友把他藏在飛機上的行李架,當人開架時來"嘩"他們

他是個獨立的人,
23歲時完成商業學士學位,主修財務規劃和會計,24歲時已可置業.靠一些小道具幫忙,可以過日常生活.喜歡游泳,滑水,釣魚...他已經到過19個國家,地方佈道

他雖然今年在投資上虧損了40%,但他不擔心.
因為他的目標是做佈道家,財富不是存在地上,而是在天上.

他求過神:如果即時有手有腳,那不就是最大的奇蹟嗎?但如果他是一個"正常"人,大家就未必有感動了.神做每個人都有其用處,只看你怎發揮.

最後抄一些話:(翻譯http://blog.yam.com/cookie301/article/3933703)
the first lessons that he has learned was not to take things for granted.
第一課我學到:別把事情當成理所當然。

Many would think these goals were too far-fetched. However, I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and it's within God's will, you will achieve it in good time. As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all! What's worse is putting limits on God, who is well able to do all things! We put God in a "box". The awesome thing about the power of God is that if we want to do something for God, we must refocus. Instead of concentrating on our capability, our attention needs to shift to our availability. For, the Word of God is clear; it is God working through us. Without Him, we aren’t capable of doing anything on our own. Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's! Philippians 4:13 highlights this point well, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." God has a truly great purpose for your life!
我相信如果你想要做某件事,若是上帝的旨意,你會在適當的時間達成。身為人類,我們不斷在我們自己身上放很多限制。更糟的是在凡事都能的上帝身上放下限制。我們把上帝關在盒子裡。上帝能力的奇妙是:若我們想要為神做某件事,不是專注在我們的能力或時間,而是知道是上帝透過我們,沒有祂我們什麼事也做不成。只要我們願意做神的工,猜猜看我們是倚靠誰的能力?上帝的! 腓立比書(4:13) "我靠著那加給我力量的、凡事都能作。" 主在你生命中是有目標的.
