沒有四肢的人生
About Nick: His Story
Hi Friend,
My name is Nick Vujicic and I am thankful
to have been born 30 years ago with no arms and no legs. I won’t pretend my
life is easy, but through the love of my parents, loved ones, and faith in God,
I have overcome my adversity and my life is now filled with joy and purpose. I
reside now in California with my wife, Kanae, and we both love seeing people’s
lives changed for the better or touched in some way. It is my hope that your
life is positively impacted by my story.
I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia,
and it was a shock to my parents that I arrived without limbs. There is no
medical reason for it. My parents did their very best to keep me in the
mainstream school system and give me every opportunity to live to the fullest.
I was blessed to have a brother and a sister as my best friends too.
We later moved to Brisbane, Australia,
where I lived for 14 years before I made the move to California. At age eight,
I could not see a bright future ahead and I became depressed. When I was ten
years old, I decided to end my life by drowning myself in a bathtub. After a
couple attempts, I realized that I did not want to leave my loved ones with the
burden and guilt that would result from my suicide. I could not do that to
them.
I wasn’t depressed my entire childhood, but
I did have ups and downs. At age thirteen I hurt my foot, which I use for many
things like typing, writing and swimming. That injury made me realize that I
need to be more thankful for my abilities and less focused on my disabilities.
When I was fifteen years old, I sealed my
faith in God and from there it has been an amazing journey.
A janitor at my high school inspired me to
start speaking about my faith and overcoming adversity when I was seventeen. I
spoke only a dozen times to very small groups over the next two years. Then I
found myself in front of three hundred sophomore (grade 10) students and I was
very nervous. My knees were shaking. Within the first three minutes of my talk,
half the girls were crying, and most of the boys were struggling to hold their
emotions together. One girl in particular was sobbing very hard. We all looked
at her and she put her hand up. She said, “I am so sorry to interrupt, but can
I come up and hug you?”
She came hugged me in front of everyone,
and whispered in my ear, “Thank you, thank you, thank you. No one has ever told
me that they loved me and that I am beautiful the way I am.”
Her gratitude inspired me to go across 44
countries and speak 2,000 times. I realized that we all need love and hope and
that I was in a unique position to share that with people around the world.
While majoring in both accounting and
financial planning at a university, I also worked on developing my abilities as
a speaker. I worked with a speaking coach who helped to cultivate me as a
presenter. He especially worked on my body language as my hands flew everywhere
at first!
I spoke on motivational topics after
creating the company, attitude is altitude. I also launched a non-profit
ministry, life without limbs, to spread my messages of faith and hope around
the world.
Whoever you are, wherever you’re from and
whatever you are dealing with, I hope that you will be inspired by my story and
my message. Please enjoy browsing around this website where I share with you my
thoughts on faith, hope and love to encourage you and to help you overcome your
own challenges.
Dream big my friend and never give up. We
all make mistakes, but none of us are mistakes. Take one day at a time. Embrace
the positive attitudes, perspectives, principles and truths I share, and you
too will overcome.

Pros and cons of flight attendant career
If you are someone who is keen to travel to different places of the world while earning a reasonable income, flight attendant career is one of most suitable job in fulfilling your dream of going to various places. For international sector, they usually fly up to a maximum of 90 hours.
While away from the base, the airlines provide hotel accommodations and meal allowance during stopover. Other benefits include getting discounted fares to travel to the destination of your choice for yourself and your immediate family members. Most airlines also offer a permanent discounted fare to their staff who has retired for travelling anywhere in the world.
One of the disadvantages of this career is that one will have to work during the holiday seasons and weekends as these are the times when the passengers travel will be at its peak. Dealing with difficult passengers are at times stressful and one has to learn how to be patient and calm in this situation.
The irregular sleep and eating patterns may caused medical problem to some in the long run. Breathing of recycled air and having to stay in pressurized environment are also some of the stress to the body that one has to deal with. All these can be overcome by following the tips of keeping ones body healthy through exercise, proper diet and rest.
Job Nature of Flight Attendant Career
Welcoming Passengers When the passengers start to go on board the plane, the flight attendants will welcome them and help them to find their seats. If necessary, they also help the passengers to put their luggages on the right compartments of the plane.
Make Passengers Comfortable Once seated, the passengers are made comfortable by helping them to get the reading materials, getting the children to settle down by providing them with toys and checking to ensure the passengers are seated at the right seats allocated. They also help with the distribution of pillows and blankets, headsets and attending to the needs of the passengers when required.
Flight Instructions Before the plane takes off, flight instructions of do and don'ts are announced to the passengers. They will demonstrate and show the passengers how to fasten the seat belt, the location of the exits and other relevant information of the plane.
Serving Refreshments In long haul flights, refreshments are being served to the passengers. This requires sensitivity as some passengers are on special diet and may request for special food.
Dealing with Emergency In the event of emergency, one may has to perform first aid to the passenger who is not well. Knowledge of first aid kits and their use are necessary. The flight attendant also help to calm the passengers in times of crisis such as when the airplane is going through a turbulance storm.

沒有四肢的人生
生于澳洲的力克（Nick Vujicic）在出生時沒有四肢，令當年當牧師的父親和當護士的母親均極度震驚，唯因著他們都是虔誠基督徒，相信上帝在力克身上有特別計劃，所以力克在 被愛和接納之下健康成長……今天力克周遊列國，成爲萬人的激勵，背後的心路曆程，與你一一分享！
力 克（Nick Vujicic）生于澳洲，天生無手無腳，只得左下肢有一個「小鼓槌」連兩根腳趾。他曾被拒到正常學校上課、被同學奚落，甚至想自殺。不過，信主後他想通 了，認定殘疾是「上天的禮物」，于是他努力不懈地練成穿衣、吃飯、打字、遊泳……結果今天他活得非常精彩，給萬人帶來希望，成爲別人的祝福。
天生殘障，克服恐懼
天生缺陷的力克在學期間努力學習用兩根腳趾執筆寫字，積極融入正常生活，唯因 常遭同學奚落，令他自怨自艾，不斷問上帝：「爲何我會這樣？是否父母做錯了？還是醫生出錯了？我還有『明天』嗎？」及至8歲，念及：「我不能結婚、不能工 作了，就算有人嫁我，我也牽不到妻子的手！」叫他更感孤單、抑郁，想到不如把自己淹死罷了……而然，因著不希望愛他的父母內疚一輩子，遂放棄了自殺的念 頭。
積極人生，殘而不廢
今天回想，力克深覺生命裏最大的障礙並非來自環境，甚麽毒奶粉、毒債券、金融 海嘯、天災人禍，乃至看不清的未來，都不是最可怕的，最可怕的莫過于來自內心的恐懼！想通了這點，力克認定自己的殘疾乃「上天的禮物」，當中必有上帝美好 的旨意，于是奮發回轉，以積極的態度來面對人生，並努力不懈地學習運用「小鼓槌」及頸部肌肉，練成了自己穿衣服、吃飯、打字、遊泳、騎馬、釣魚、開快艇， 甚至打鼓……幽默的他，甚至能藉嘲笑自己的缺陷以激勵別人，給無數絕望、甚至打算自殺的人帶來了希望。19歲時，一位講員到他學校演講，令他深受感動，于 是他也開始學習演講，終于自己也成爲一位激勵別人、足迹遍及全球24個國家的講員，演講對象包括政府官員、總統、名人等，與超過240萬人交流心得，並透 過電視、報紙、雜志與超過六億人溝通。他不再向上帝求手、求腳，他明白了：上帝要藉他來激勵別人，爲萬人帶來福祉。
「若上帝沒有賜你一個你想要的神迹，那麽祂其實是想你成爲別人的神迹！」（力克 胡哲）
生下來就四肢全缺的Nick Vujicic，以堅定的語氣說﹕「就算現在你用百萬元來引誘我，叫我長出手腳，我也不會考慮﹔我只想順服上帝，完成祂的心意。」正因爲他的「獨特」而被神大大使用，多年來，透過他的演說和見證，不知觸動了多少人的心靈。
生命感到絕望 生上帝氣
力克（Nick Vujicic）知道，很多小朋友第一次見到沒手沒腳的他，都會害怕和驚恐。他笑說：「我接受。但我最喜歡、最舒服的是，那些見到我能擁抱我、接受我的人。」因此，我們的真誠對談，就在一個熱烈的擁抱後展開…
空姐不能說的秘密！空服員10大辛酸揭密
空姐不能說的秘密！空服員10大辛酸揭密
空姐的轉變
台灣第一家民間航空公司是成立於1951年的復興航空，當時飛行台灣與澎湖、金門之間。國人海外觀光尚未開放前，一般人沒甚麼機會可以出國，而空服員因為工作之便能夠出國、接觸新事物，加上當時甄選空服員標準相當高，不輸選中國小姐，所以傳統觀念中總覺得空中小姐是個打扮入時，還能環遊世界的好工作！
然而！時空演進至今，航空業越來越競爭，空服員早已不是刻板印象中的爽缺了！DailyView網路溫度計透過網路大數據統計了空服員十大辛酸，帶你一窺空姐們光鮮制服下有甚麼不為人知的秘密...
光鮮亮麗的空姐，背後有著你不知道得辛酸，圖為情境圖。

第十名：空姐不是你的私人挑夫
還記得去年前主播周明璟曾在節目上抱怨空服員不幫他搬行李，他就好生氣去投訴的事情嗎？節目播出以後引起軒然大波，連節目主持人小燕姐也受牽連被網友痛批。最後這件事情就是周明璟出面道歉，表示只是為了節目效果，會回家好好反省收場。
空服員辛酸第十名就是：空姐不是你的私人挑夫啊！雖然「協助」乘客放置行李是服務之一，但如果乘客完全不出力在一旁冷眼旁觀，有些行李對瘦弱的空姐來說也是很吃力的，如果機上每個人都要空姐來搬行李，對他們來說真的是很大的負擔！
第九名：順手牽羊不可取
空姐網友抱怨說：大部分的乘客都是優質的，但有些你意想不到的東西竟然也會失竊。
從枕頭毛毯至餐具杯子再到廁所裡的東西都被偷過！空姐網友苦笑安慰自己：可能旅客真的很喜歡我們家的東西吧。當然最慘的是販售免稅商品的車子被順手牽羊，免稅品短少，或是賣免稅品所得的現金如果缺漏，都是要由負責的空服員自掏腰包來賠償的。碰到這樣的事情，也不可能再回頭去跟旅客追究，也只能摸摸鼻子自認倒霉，提醒自己下次要小心一點囉。
第八名：職場霸凌之學姐好兇
航空公司應該是除了軍隊以外最講究學長學弟制，學姐學妹制的。如果今天運氣好跟佛心姐姐們一起飛，那就是晚上作夢也會笑，如果碰到吹毛求疵或是會冷言冷語的學姐們，就自己知道皮要繃緊點了。
當然啦，冷言冷語冷暴力也有人視為是一種鍛鍊，不過對於菜鳥們來說，這也是除了應付旅客外，另外一種壓力來源。
第七名：感情不順又失戀
空服員網友金句：「飛行數年來，我得到病痛的身體，與殘破的感情。」
歸咎原因還是因為空服員在全世界飛來飛去，留在台灣的時間很少，扣除調時差的休息時間，真正要有時間精力好好經營一段感情比一般人更加困難。更不用說長住在香港或是中東國家的空服員囉，要好好談一段戀愛，真的非常不容易啊。
第六名：血汗飛行大病小病都來
想當年小編許多同學一畢業就去當空服員圓夢，但飛了幾年以後就離開航空界，很多理由都是身體真的不堪負荷。
除了睡眠不足瘋狂爆痘，日夜顛倒免疫力降低以外，尿道炎，經期混亂，腰酸背痛膝蓋痛都是長時間飛行帶來的病痛，真的族繁不及備載，不要問，很可怕！
第五名：喝醉乘客最可怕
是的，各位您沒有看錯，這是一名男子因為喝醉酒大鬧機艙而被五花大綁在座位上的照片。
雖然飛機上會提供免費的酒水給乘客，但如果過度飲用導致失控，可是會危及飛航安全的嚴重事件喔。港星鄭中基曾在2000年左右多次在飛機上酒醉鬧事，某次甚至差點被FBI起訴一項可入獄20年的罪名，這一波波失控事件後，鄭中基聲勢明顯下滑，從歌神接班人變成演龍發威的喜劇諧星，真是好可惜啊！
專科醫師提醒您：長途飛行飲用過多酒精，將提高血栓機率，建議乘客還是多多飲用果汁與礦泉水來補充水分吧。
第四名：性騷擾退散
除了公司政策以外，最令空服員氣憤抱怨的就是性騷擾！幾乎人人都遇過想偷揩油的乘客，其包含言語調戲，捏手心、要電話，觸胸及摸屁股。雖然公司及同事間都會彼此教導怎麼避免性騷擾，但這樣令人氣憤的事情還是時有所聞。
好比2012年復興航空從高雄飛金門的班機上，就出現一名男性乘客多次拉扯空服員並試圖擁抱她，屢勸不聽，機長遂通知航警處理，一落地金門就把該乘客抓起來以性騷擾防治法送辦。因為這起事件，導致飛機延遲40多分鐘，其他乘客得知班機上竟然有如此色狼紛紛齊聲大罵：不要臉！！！
第三名：缺人！缺人！缺人！
各大航空公司幾乎每年都會有幾波新人招募，每到這個時候，往往是上千個人爭搶數十個錄取名額，簡直比考公務員更競爭，既然應徵者這麼踴躍，應該不至於缺人才對？ 錯！會這麼想你就太單純了！因為航空公司考量訓練成本、營運預算等等理由，真正上線服務的空服員人數往往都是在緊繃的邊緣！
就算公司補了新人，如果新人的比例太高，也是資深空服員的一個煩惱。曾有資深空姐反應：如果一個航班中，太多沒有經驗的新人，這會是座艙長一個很大的挑戰。可見在航空業中也同樣要面臨人員斷層的問題啊！
第二名：低薪！低薪！低薪！
雖然一般人覺得空服員的薪資相對高，但空服員的工作時數，壓力，還有承擔的風險也是比一般人還要高出很多的！
曾服務過數家航空公司的資深空服員就坦白的分享：雖然現在空服員薪資乍看不低，但與多年前相比，新進人員起薪有些不增反減，加上近年來物價節節上漲，空服員已經不如大家刻板印象中那麼收入豐厚囉！
回顧2008年，長榮航空曾傳出要空服員留職停薪的傳聞，或是無預警砍減空服員的航班，導致飛時行數降低至以往六成甚至一半，能夠領到的薪資也就大幅縮水。
第一名：爆肝、超飛、紅眼班
空服員心中共同的痛就是超飛、超飛、超飛！
8月25日，部分華航員工就曾因超飛紅眼班的問題發起抗議，他們在自己的行李掛牌上貼出「紅眼班，抗議中」字樣，結果全部被剪掉，甚至置物櫃也被不明人士撬開，抗議掛牌全數不翼而飛！
為此，9月2日，華航80名空服員再到桃園縣政府陳情抗議華航從七月開始加開紅眼班並減少組員人數，造成大家身心俱疲不堪負荷！凌晨12點到清晨5點的時間，整個桃園機場只有廉價航空跟中華航空還在起降。雖然華航表示10月將會補足人力，但當日華航與工會的調解會流局。9月4日有報導指出參加抗議的空服員已經收到公司發來的警告信件，表示華航會追究參與抗議的人。看來華航的超飛抗爭似乎還沒有落幕，值得社會大眾持續關注。
什麼是紅眼班？
紅眼班源自英文Red-eye flight，係指在深夜至清晨這段時間運行，且飛行時間少於八小時，乘客沒甚麼時間睡眠，導致抵達目的地後大家眼睛都紅紅睡眠不足的班機。 而本次華航最為人詬病的紅眼班，幾乎都是增開飛亞洲短程的航班。
根據3/8至9/7的網路大數據調查，空服員心中前三名辛酸都是跟航空公司政策有關係的，其中第三名的「人力不足」與第一名「爆肝、超飛、紅眼班」更是互相影響最鉅的兩個因素。
第四名與第五名是「性騷擾」以及「乘客酒醉」，這兩種不當行為在國外都是非常嚴重甚至是可依危及飛航安全為理由深究的喔。
可見空服員心中最大的抱怨其實並不是什麼乘客一直使喚他們啦，也不是一直要提醒乘客繫安全帶、豎直椅背這種小事情！空服員心中最關心的還是希望可以有良好工作條件以及飛航安全啊！DailyView在此向各位努力工作的空服員說聲：你們辛苦囉，加油！
