Born in Australia on August 14, 1969, he was born with both legs naturally disabled. At the age of 17, a classmate used a knife to cut his unconscious legs to bloody pulp, and the wound became infected, so he was forced to have his lower body removed. His deeds have been widely circulated around the world. He once came to Beijing, China to give a speech, and was moved by the Chinese people's familiarity. He is now recognized in the world as an international super motivational guru.

There is no "impossibility" in life

After graduating from high school, John began to enter the society to find a job. After being rejected numerous times, he was taken in by a grocery store owner and later worked as a salesman and technical worker. An accidental speech changed John's life. At a luncheon, John was invited to give a brief introduction to his experience. His painful experience and difficult situation moved everyone present. Many people burst into tears. One woman even ran to the stage and told John that she was very unfortunate and was preparing to commit suicide. After listening to his speech, she felt that those misfortunes were nothing. This made John suddenly realize that telling his own experience of struggling to survive could inspire others, allowing them to have a more positive attitude and feel happier. Since then, John has embarked on the road of professional motivation master.

Confident John

In 1999, God teased John again. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer. After removing both testicles, the doctor ruthlessly told him again that the cancer cells had spread and he only had 12 to 24 months to live. John did not want to sit still and wait for death. Within a year, he consulted various information and sought good advice everywhere, becoming a cancer expert. In May 2005, doctors were surprised to find that John was still in good health.

In June 2000, John got married. His wife, Leanne, is a blond beauty and they have a son, 6-year-old Clayton. Clayton has been plagued by illnesses since he was a child, suffering from autism, muscular dystrophy, brain intima damage, and myocardial function atrophy. Similar experiences gave John and his son more spiritual resonance and a common language. Regarding his son, John has always believed: "My son will definitely become the best!" Every day is a battle

The 39-year-old John Cutis was born with paralysis of his lower limbs and underwent amputation surgery. However, he has achieved a series of achievements that would amaze normal people: he won the Australian Disability Tennis Championship, became an honorary member of the Australian cricket team, insisted on walking with his hands without using a wheelchair, and obtained a driver's license. John described himself as "every day is a battle": when he was first born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live for a week; after a week, the doctor said that he would not live for a month; after a month, the doctor again It was said that he would not live for more than a year; however, his parents did not give up, but took more good care of him. Many children around him called him a "monster". When he was 10 years old, he was tied up by a group of elementary school students in his class and thrown into a lit trash can. He almost died. Fortunately, he was discovered by a female teacher and risked his life to save him; Some classmates pranked him by scattering thumbtacks around his desk. The experiences in his life once made him want to commit suicide, but he was later dissuaded by his parents.

My mother said to him: "You are the cutest child in the world, and it is your parents' honor." His father told him: "People live for responsibility. Even if they are physically disabled, they can still create a world." Encouraged by the power of his parents' love, he lived and studied with superhuman perseverance. Although he was diagnosed with cancer, he always faced life with a positive attitude. Facing those who discriminated against and were hostile to him when he was growing up... He acted like a warrior every day, always encouraging himself to persevere.

He believes that champions in life are far more important than champions in sports. Real wealth is not the number on the bank book, but the health of the body and the happiness of the family. A person must set a goal for himself and keep moving forward towards the goal. Don't give up on yourself, don't be intimidated by the difficulties in front of you, and don't say "impossible" to yourself before taking action.

Life is not a matter of course

“Normal people always take everything they have for granted, not cherishing what they have, but chasing what they have.”

John Cutis reminds us: When you complain about your hair loss or unsightly hairstyle, go to the hospital and see people who are receiving chemotherapy for cancer. These patients have lost all their hair while undergoing chemotherapy. In comparison, they don’t. Should you feel lucky? Who always says that their shoes don’t look good or that it’s hard to find the right shoe size? Are you willing to exchange with me? Life is not a matter of course, you should be content and happy.

With a strong will, all things are possible

John Cutis’ mantra is: “Because we can do it.” It is because of this belief that he does not sit in a wheelchair and insists on walking with his hands. In order to be able to walk long distances and learn to use skateboards, he insists on participating in sports and achieving results that many people think are impossible. Who is the strongest opponent in life? Human laziness is actually the opponent we have to deal with every day. For John Cutis, being lazy is the same as accepting death.

Today, John Cutis has become an internationally renowned motivational speaker. His motto is "because we can", he ignores difficulties and obstacles, and has already done many things that normal people have not done. As a professional educator and inspirational speaker, John Cutis has spoken to 250,000 people in Australia and more than 100,000 people around the world.

"Motivational Master" Walks the World Without Legs

Sentenced to Death at Birth

37 years ago, John Cutis was born in the hospital. When he first saw little John, his father was very sad - the little guy was only as big as a Coca-Cola can and his legs were deformed. And there was no anus, so he was lying dying in the observation room. The doctor told John's father that it was almost impossible for him to survive for more than 24 hours, so he should prepare for his child's funeral.

After the grieving father prepared small clothes, a small coffin, and a small cemetery for his son, he returned to the hospital and found that his son was still alive. The doctor also concluded that little John would not survive for a week; however, the little guy struggled and survived another week. In this way, this weak life struggled to survive week after week. Doctors predicted he wouldn't survive more than a year, but now he's still healthy and giving speeches.

Because he is very small, everything around him looks like a giant to little John. Little John was very timid and fearful of anything larger than himself. Especially the family dog ??who often bullies him. His father believed that little John should be cultivated to have courage and be brave. After all, he would have to face the future life alone.

"You must face all fears by yourself and be brave." One day, after his father said this to John, he locked little John in the backyard with the family dog. After his father left, little John's screams and the barking of dogs soon came from the backyard. The father stayed in the house and did not come out. After hearing the noise, nearby neighbors called the police. When the police and his father walked into the backyard together, everyone was surprised to find that little John was riding on the back of the dog, like a proud cowboy.

Recalling the experience of contact with the dog, John Cutis said, when the dog pounced on it viciously, I just grabbed its tail and used my fingers to hit its butt hard. With a stab, he finally subdued that annoying guy. "If you feel fear, then you learn to face it!" His father taught little John the first lesson in life.

A tortured childhood

John went to school. His father sent him to school for the first time and told him that from now on, you must learn to bear life alone, and the real world is right in front of you. When John was carrying a schoolbag bigger than him, sitting in a wheelchair and beginning to look forward to a new life, he never imagined that he would be greeted by a nightmare.

There are many naughty students in the school, and the short John has almost become their doll. They overturned John's wheelchair, broke the brakes on his wheelchair, and made him "fly" directly from the school corridor into the teacher's office. They even tied him to the ceiling fan in the classroom and rotated with the fan...

Once, several classmates tied his hands with rope, sealed his mouth with tape, threw him into the trash can, and then lit a fire outside the trash can. The billowing smoke choked John. He was so frightened that his thin body struggled desperately until a teacher rescued him.

Many times the other students have left, leaving John alone in a corner of the classroom, crying while slowly assembling his wheelchair that had been evacuated by his classmates.

Later, John entered high school.

There are more than a thousand kids in high school, and for John, it's thousands of legs. He sits in a wheelchair every day and walks carefully among countless legs. The only thing he has to do is to protect his hands from being stepped on by any of them.

During a slideshow class, John went out to use the bathroom. However, every step he took in the darkness felt excruciating pain. When he came to the light, he found that his hands were covered with thumbtacks and bleeding.

John finally couldn't stand it anymore. When he got home, he looked at himself in the mirror, thinking about how he had been tortured and insulted again and again, and he burst into tears. He thought: "Why is my life so miserable? In school, I am like a monster, and my existence is just an object for more people to laugh at. What's the point of living in such a day?"

He thought about committing suicide.

At this time, the mother came in and hugged John tightly with tears. She said: "John, you will always be the most beautiful child in our lives!" After his mother's persuasion, John gave up. suicide. "Never think that you are miserable. There are many people in the world who are worse off than you." Looking back now, John said humorously, "At least, at that time, I could quickly install the evacuated equipment with my eyes closed." Wheelchair."

Finally able to support himself

In 1987, 17-year-old John Cutis had his leg removed. Because the two deformed legs that had never been used were raised like tails, making it very inconvenient for him to move. John becomes "half" a person, but moves more freely. At the same time, possible complications caused by leg ulcers, skin infections, and osteomyelitis are avoided. John graduated from high school and decided to find a job for himself. He climbed on his skateboard and knocked on store doors one after another. Ask the shop owner if he would like to hire him. When they opened the store door, they didn't notice John almost lying on the ground, so they closed the door again.

After hundreds of failed applications, John finally found his first job in a grocery store and twisted screws in an instrument box company. He gets up at 4:30 every morning to catch the train to town, then climbs on his skateboard and rushes from the station to the factory a few kilometers away. Although life was difficult, but able to support himself, John lived bravely and happily.

Become an athlete

John is of Greek descent. He is always full of competition and fighting spirit, and has a natural athlete's temperament. John played city cricket from the age of twelve and also developed a passion for weightlifting and wheelchair rugby. Due to long-term training of his upper limbs, his arms have amazing strength. His destiny actually began to change from then on.

Because he was isolated since childhood, sports became John's only sustenance, so he was particularly strict with his training, and his sports performance was also very good. Less than three days after he was discharged from the hospital after leg amputation surgery, he appeared at a club playing indoor cricket. Although he often knocked other players out of their wheelchairs and some complained that he played too hard, he also argued that some lacked dedication.

However, whenever John appeared on the field wearing sunglasses and a sports helmet, the children would always shout: "Look, here comes a walking helmet!"

In 1994, John Cutis won the Australian Disability Tennis Championship; in 2000, John received a scholarship from the Australian Sports Organization and ranked second in the national health weightlifting competition. John also holds Level 2 coaching certificates in cricket and rugby. He responded to all the ridicule and insults with his grades.

Speech changes destiny

An accidental public speech brought John a new life.

At a luncheon, John was invited to give a brief speech about his experience. "I must show the bravest side to the audience!" John told himself. His experience and current situation brought tears to the eyes of the audience, and he won warm applause. A woman ran to the stage, crying and telling John that she was very unfortunate and was about to commit suicide. She also had a pistol on her body. After listening to his speech, she felt that she should live well.

After the speech, John came to the beach alone, sat on the beach, and looked at the turbulent sea. He trembled for a while and cried for a while. Recalling the warm applause at the luncheon, he began to laugh out loud for the first time in his life - because for the first time in his life, someone was so concerned about his speech and responded with the most sincere applause. At this time, John suddenly realized that it was very important to go to the podium, tell the fear and sadness he had experienced, talk about his struggles and struggles, and inspire others.

John started speaking to the public. During the speech, John tried to minimize the impact of his physical characteristics on the audience, and said as much valuable and influential words as possible. He hopes that the audience will come to share his life experience without losing sight of the "monster show". John has the temperament of a natural speaker, with humorous language and quick responses. On the podium, John supported his body with his thick arms, his eyes were bright and his voice was loud, as if Napoleon was inspiring his thousands of troops to move forward. So far, John has given more than 800 speeches in more than 190 countries. He has inspired and influenced more than 2 million people with his personal experience.

Seizing the throat of fate

John has become a well-known figure in Australia. At a party, he met the lovely Lean. At that time, Lean was divorced and had a son who was also in poor health. Almost at the first sight of Lean, John fell in love with this kind woman. However, his heart told him that it was impossible for Lean to like him. Although he had achieved success in his speaking career and became a well-known figure in Australia, his physical disability made the distance between them seem so far away.

After that dinner, John was tormented by his lovesickness for Lean and often stayed up all night. Finally, he told himself that no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he should always try hard, otherwise, there would never be a possibility of success.

John began to pursue Lean. At first, Lean didn't notice John's love. She was just attracted by this guy with a strong will to survive, but this was not love yet. However, she gradually discovered that her son Clayton particularly liked John. Since his son had been suffering from illnesses since childhood, he often experienced experiences similar to John's. When they were together, they spoke more of the same language. Many times, when his son is sick or encounters some trouble, John is more anxious than Lean and always takes the initiative to find a solution. Lean was gradually moved by John and finally decided to marry him.

In the second half of 1999, John and Lean became engaged and were preparing to get married. However, a huge disaster struck him. One night, he felt quite uncomfortable in his groin. After going to the hospital for examination, the doctor told him the sad news: he had testicular cancer. Hearing the doctor's words, John almost went crazy - how much he wanted a child. In order to save his life, John had to remove his testicles. To make matters worse, not long after the operation, John received even worse news; because the cancer had spread, it was estimated that he could live for up to 24 months. After John heard this, he waved his iron arms and scratched around the hospital. He roared at everyone: "Why did you sentence me to death? I won't die until I want to die." At that moment, John thought of Beethoven who was holding his fate by the throat.

When he returned home, John plucked up the courage to tell his parents about the cancer. After hearing this, his father said in a seemingly calm tone: "John, first it was your legs--bang! They are gone; now it is your testicles--bang! They are gone too. I'm worried that next time you will only have It's the next one." John laughed after hearing this. Yes, we have already lost too many things in our lives, so why not lose some more? John struggled with the disease for nearly a year. He read a lot about cancer and became almost an expert in cancer counseling. He consulted everywhere, hoping that people could bring some good suggestions for his treatment. Many cancer patients called him and told him: "Follow what the doctor says and never despair." In May 2000, after detailed examination, the doctor was surprised to find that John had recovered. This time, the goddess of luck finally favored John.

In 2000, John married Lean and also had his wife's 6-year-old son, Clayton. John loves his son Clayton very much. Although Clayton has autism, muscular dystrophy, cerebral intima damage, myocardial dysfunction and other diseases, he still insists: "My son will be the best in the future." Character! "

John seems to have been fighting fear, loneliness, insult, torture, illness and even death throughout his life, and he was the winner in the end. Looking back on the past, he said: 'This world is full of pain and suffering. Some people are worried and some people are crying. Facing fate, people should embrace pain and face life with a smile, instead of just fighting against it. Any suffering must be faced bravely. If you win, you win; if you lose, you lose. Everything is possible, never say impossible. "
