But he has developed world-class self-esteem, self-confidence and self-reliance. He refused to bow to reality. 7. On the contrary, he chose to live strong. 8. This is the growth process of John Curtis, a world-famous inspirational speaker. After graduating from high school, John began to enter the society to find a job. After being rejected countless times, he was taken in by a grocery store owner and later worked as a salesman and a skilled worker. An accidental speech changed John's life. At a luncheon, John was invited to briefly introduce his experience. His painful experience and difficult situation touched everyone present. Many people were in tears, and a woman even ran to the stage and told John that she was very unfortunate and was about 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 can inspire others, make them have a more positive attitude and feel happier. Since then, John has embarked on the road of a master of professional motivation. Confident John 1999, God played a trick on John again. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer. After two testicles were removed, the doctor told him mercilessly again that the cancer had spread and he had only 12 ~ 24 months to live. John doesn't want to do nothing. In a year, he looked up all kinds of information, asked for advice everywhere and became a cancer expert. In May 2005, the doctor was surprised to find that John was still so healthy. In June 2000, John got married. His wife Lynn is a blonde with a 6-year-old son Clayton. Clayton suffers from childhood diseases, such as autism, muscular dystrophy, brain intima injury, myocardial atrophy and so on. Similar experiences have made John and his son more harmonious in spirit. For his son, John has always believed: "My son will be the best person!" " Every day is a battle. John Curtis, 40, was born paralyzed and amputated, but he made a series of achievements that surprised normal people: he won the Australian Disabled Tennis Championship, became an honorary member of the Australian cricket team, walked with his hands without a wheelchair, and got a driver's license ..... John described himself as "every day is a battle": when he was born, the doctor declared to his parents that he would not live for a week. A week later, the doctor said that he would not live for a month; A month later, the doctor said that he would not live for a year; However, his parents did not give up, but took care of him more carefully. Many children around him call him a "monster". 10 years old, he was tied up by a group of pupils in the same class and thrown into a lit trash can, which almost killed him. Fortunately, he was found by a female teacher and risked his life to be saved. Some students even played pranks and scattered thumbtacks around his desk. The experience in life once made him want to commit suicide, but his parents dissuaded him. His mother said to him, "You are the cutest child in the world, and it is the honor of mom and dad." His father told him: "people live for responsibility, even if they are physically disabled, they can create a career." Inspired by his parents' love, he lives and studies with superhuman perseverance. Although he was diagnosed with cancer, he always faced life with a positive attitude. Facing the people who discriminated against him and were hostile to him when he was growing up ... He encouraged himself to stick to it like a soldier every day. He thinks that the champion in life is far more important than the champion in sports. Real wealth is not the number in the passbook, but the health of the body and the happiness of the family. One must set goals for himself and keep moving towards them. Don't give up on yourself, don't be intimidated by the immediate difficulties, and don't say "impossible" to yourself before you act. Life is not taken for granted. "Normal people always take what they have for granted, don't cherish what they have, but chase what they have." . John Coutis reminds us: When complaining about hair loss or bad hair style, go to the hospital to see people who have received cancer chemotherapy. These patients all lost all their hair when they received chemotherapy. Shouldn't they feel lucky by comparison? Who always says that their shoes don't look good or that inappropriate shoe sizes are hard to find? Would you like to exchange with me? Life is not taken for granted, you should be content. Nothing is impossible without determination. John Curtis' mantra is "because we can". It is because of this belief that he insisted on walking with his hands instead of in a wheelchair; In order to be able to walk long distances and learn to use skateboards, he insisted on taking part in sports and made achievements that many people thought impossible. Who is the strongest opponent in life? In fact, human laziness is the opponent we have to deal with every day. For John Curtis, laziness is tantamount to accepting death. Today, John Curtis has become an internationally renowned motivational speaker. His motto is "because we can". He did many things that normal people didn't do, regardless of difficulties and obstacles. As a professional educator and inspiring speaker, John Curtis has given speeches to 250,000 people in Australia and more than 65,438+000,000 people in the world. John Curtis (Australia): No matter how unfortunate you think you are, there will always be people in this world who are more unfortunate than you! No matter how successful you think you are, there will always be a better story of John Curtis in this world. He is John Curtis, an Australian disabled person, born in 1969. He was born as big as a coke can, with deformed legs and no anus, lying in the observation room dying. The doctor asserted that he would not live for 24 hours and advised his father to prepare for the funeral. When the sad father prepared a small coffin and a small cemetery for his son, he found that his son was still alive. The doctor also asserted that he would not live for a week, a month, a year … and today John is still speaking around the world healthily. Why can he escape from the clutches of death? Why can he beat cancer? Why did he finally find true love? How did he walk out of an unusual bumpy road with his hands? Listen to his story and find the answer. He used his life to prove the power of love, the greatness of faith, the brilliance and preciousness of life! John struggled with fear, loneliness, insult, torture, illness and even death all his life. Looking back, he thought, "The world is full of pain and suffering. Some people are worried, others are crying. In the face of fate, any suffering should be faced bravely. If you win, you win. If you lose, you lose. Anything is possible, so never say' impossible' to yourself. " Some people say that when God created him, he must have used another mold. He was born with severe disability and cancer, but he challenged death; He was discriminated against and tortured since he was a child, but he still smiled at life. He could only walk with his hands, but he became an athlete. He is only half a man, but he is the most famous motivator in the world. In 190 countries, he inspired more than 2 million people with his personal experience. He told himself never to say impossible. His name is John Curtis. "Inspirational Master" walks the world without legs. He was sentenced to death at birth 1969, and John Curtis was born in the hospital. When I first saw John, my father was very sad-this little guy was only as big as a Coca-Cola can, and his legs were deformed. And there is no anus, lying in the observation room dying. The doctor told John's father that it was almost impossible for him to live for 24 hours, so he had better prepare for the children's funeral. Because he is very small, everything around him is like a monster to little John. Little John is very timid and full of fear of anything bigger than him. Especially the dog at home often bullies him. Father thinks we should cultivate little John's courage and make him brave. After all, he will have to face the future life alone. "You must face all your fears and face them bravely." One day, after his father said this to John, he locked little John in the backyard with the family dog. After his father left, there was a scream from little John and a dog barking in the backyard. My father stayed in the house and didn't come out. Neighbors heard the noise and called the police. When the policeman and his father walked into the backyard together, everyone was surprised to find that little John was riding on the dog's back, like a proud cowboy. When the dog came at me viciously, I just grabbed its tail, poked its ass with my finger, and finally subdued this annoying guy, John Coutis recalled his contact experience with the dog. "If you are afraid, then you should learn to face it!" Father taught little John the first lesson in life. John went to school in a painful childhood. Father sent him to school for the first time and told him that from now on, you must learn to live alone, and the real world is just around the corner. When John began to look forward to a new life in a wheelchair with a schoolbag bigger than his head, he never thought that meeting himself was a nightmare. There are many naughty students in the school, and that short John has almost become their doll. They overturned John's wheelchair, broke the brakes of his wheelchair, and let him fly directly into the teacher's office from the school corridor. They even tied him to the ceiling fan in the classroom, which rotated with the fan ... Once, several students tied his hand with a rope, sealed his mouth with tape, threw him into the trash can, and then lit a fire outside the trash can. The smoke choked John. His emaciated body struggled with fear until a teacher rescued him. Most of the time, the other students have already left, and only John is in a corner of the classroom, crying and slowly assembling his wheelchair that was scattered by his classmates. Later, John entered high school. There are more than 1000 children in high school, but for John, he faces 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 hand from being trampled by any of them. In a slide class, John went out to go to the toilet. However, every step he took in the dark made him feel terrible pain. When he came to the light, he found that his hands were covered with thumbtacks and his blood was flowing. John was at last fed up. When he got home, he looked at himself in the mirror and thought about his pain and humiliation again and again. He wept bitterly. He thought, "Why is my life so miserable? At school, I am like a monster, and my existence only makes more people laugh. " . What's the point of living in such a day? "Thinking of suicide, my mother came in and hugged John tightly with tears in her eyes. She said, "John, you will always be the best child in our life!" " "Under the persuasion of his mother, John gave up suicide. "Never think of yourself as miserable. There are many people in the world who are worse off than you. " Looking back now, John said humorously, "At least, I can quickly install a wheelchair with my eyes closed." Finally self-reliant. 1987 17-year-old John Curtis was amputated. Because those two deformed legs, which have never come in handy, are upturned like tails, it is inconvenient for him to move. John became half man, but he moved more freely. At the same time, it also avoids possible complications such as leg ulcer, skin infection and osteomyelitis. John graduated from middle school and decided to find himself a job. He climbed on the skateboard and knocked on doors. Ask the shopkeeper if he is willing to hire him. When people opened the shop door, they didn't find John who was almost prone on the ground at all, so they closed the door again. After hundreds of unsuccessful job hunting, John finally found his first job in a grocery store and worked as a screw wrench in an instrument box company. He gets up at 4: 30 every morning to catch the train to the town, then climbs the skateboard and runs from the station to the factory several kilometers away. Although life is hard, he can stand on his own feet and John lives bravely and happily. As an athlete, John is of Greek descent. His whole body is always full of competition and fighting spirit, and he has a natural sportsmanship. John has been playing local cricket since he was twelve years old. He also likes weightlifting and wheelchair football. Because of long-term upper limb exercise, his arm has amazing strength. That's when his fate actually changed. Because he was isolated from the world since he was a child, sports became John's only sustenance, so he was particularly strict with his training and achieved good results in sports. Less than three days after his leg amputation, he appeared in his club where he played indoor cricket. Although he often knocks other players out of wheelchairs, some people will complain that he hits too hard, but he will also refute some people's lack of professionalism. However, whenever John appears on the court wearing sunglasses and a sports helmet, the children always shout, "Look, here comes a walking helmet!" " "1994, John Curtis won the Australian disabled tennis championship; In 2000, John won a scholarship from Australian sports institutions and ranked second in the national healthy weightlifting competition. John also got a second-class coaching certificate in cricket and rugby. He responded to all the ridicule and insults with his grades. A life-changing speech An accidental public speech brought John a brand-new life. At a luncheon, John was invited to give a short speech about his experience. I must present the bravest side to the audience! " John told himself. His experience and current situation made the audience cry and he won warm applause. A woman ran to the stage and told John with tears that she was very unfortunate and was about to commit suicide. She still has a pistol on her. After listening to his speech, she felt that she should live well. After the speech, John went to the seaside alone, sat on the beach and looked at the surging sea. He trembled and cried for a while. Recalling the warm applause at the luncheon, he began to laugh for the first time in his life-because for the first time in his life, someone cared so much about his speech and gave him the most sincere applause. At this time, John suddenly found it clear that it is really important to go to the podium, express his fears and sorrows, his struggles and struggles, and inspire others. John began his public speech. During the speech, John tried to reduce the influence of his physical characteristics on the audience and made it as valuable and influential as possible. He hoped that the audience would come to share his life experience, not to see the "monster". John has the temperament of a natural speaker, humorous language and quick response. On the rostrum, John supported his body with thick arms, his eyes were bright and his voice was loud, as if Napoleon were inspiring his hordes to rush forward. So far, John has given more than 800 speeches in 190 countries. He used his personal experience to inspire and influence more than 2 million people. John has become a celebrity in Australia. At a party, he met the lovely Lynn. At that time, Lynn was divorced and had a son, and his health was not good. Almost at the first sight of Lynn, John fell in love with this kind woman. However, his heart told him that Lynn could not like him. Although he succeeded in his speech career and became a celebrity in Australia, his physical disability made their distance seem so far away. After that dinner, John suffered from Lynn's lovesickness and often stayed up all night. Finally, he told himself that no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he should always work hard, otherwise, he would never have a chance of success. John began to pursue Lynn. At first, Lynn didn't notice John's love. She's just attracted by this guy with a strong will to survive, but that's not love. However, she gradually discovered that her son Clayton especially liked John. Because my son has been ill since he was a child, he often has experiences similar to John's. Together, they have more common language. Many times, when his son is ill or in trouble, John is still very anxious and always takes the initiative to find a solution. Lynn was gradually moved by John and finally decided to marry him. 1999 In the second half of the year, John and Lynn got engaged and prepared to get married. However, a huge disaster struck him. One night, he felt very uncomfortable in his groin. After going to the hospital for examination, the doctor told him an unfortunate news: he had testicular cancer. Hearing the doctor's words, John almost went crazy-how much he wanted a child. John had to have his testicles removed to save his life. To make matters worse, shortly after the operation, John got even worse news; Because the cancer has spread, it is estimated that he can live for 24 months at most. Hearing this, John waved his iron arm and held it tightly in the hospital. He growled at everyone: "Why did you sentence me to death? "I won't die until I want to." At that moment, John thought of Beethoven who grabbed the throat of fate. After returning home, John summoned up the courage to tell his parents that he had cancer. Hearing this, my father said in a seemingly calm tone, "John, put your leg first-bang!" " They left; Now it's your testicles.-Bang! They left, too. I'm afraid you'll only have one head next time. "John smiled when I heard that. Yes, too many things have been lost in life. What's the harm in losing more? Next, John struggled with the disease for nearly a year. He read a lot of information about cancer and almost became a cancer consultant. He consulted everywhere, hoping that people could put forward some good suggestions for his treatment. Many cancer patients called him and told him, "Do as the doctor says and never despair. "In May 2000, after a detailed examination, the doctor was surprised to find that John had recovered. This time, the goddess of luck finally took care of John. In 2000, John married Lynn, and he also had his wife's 6-year-old son Clayton. John loves his son Clayton very much. Although Clayton suffers from autism, muscular dystrophy, brain intimal injury and myocardial dysfunction, he still insists: "My son will be the best person in the future! "John seems to have struggled with fear, loneliness, insult, torture, illness and even death all his life. He is the final winner. Looking back, he said, "The world is full of pain and suffering. Some people are worried, others are crying. In the face of fate, people should embrace pain and face life with a smile, not just fight it. Any suffering should be faced bravely. If you win, you win. If you lose, you lose. Anything is possible, never say impossible. "John Curtis' classic quotation," he said-"Everyone has a disability. You can see my disability. What about your disability? " He said-"No matter how unfortunate you feel, there will always be someone more unfortunate than you; No matter how great you think you are, there will always be someone stronger than you "; He said: "wealth is not measured by how much money you have in your pocket, nor by the numbers in your passbook." If you can see my heart, you will know that I am a super billionaire. My son believes that being richer means being happier and more satisfied with what I have now, rather than pursuing what I don't have "; He said-"Every day will be the best day of your life. What I want to tell you is, if I can do it or we can all do it, why can't you? "If I can do it, so can you! You can do it too! So can you! Please remember not to say impossible to yourself! Nothing is impossible! " He said-"100 falls, you can stand up 10 1 times; 1000 falls, you can stand up 100 1 time. It doesn't matter how many times you fall, the key is whether you stand up in the end. "
