大家好，我是尼克．胡哲（Nick Vujičić）

moved from Australia to California in the year 2006.

就某個程度來說，大家都看到了我的人生

on some sort of level -- whether it's just YouTube videos

or seeing pictures of a limbless guy smile.

或是看到一張沒有四肢的人 微笑的照片

and how did you overcome what you've been through?

The title of the message that I've been given

Now, I am very well aware to share with you as well.

I know that there are a billion people going hungry today.

I know that this year, a million people will commit suicide.

I know today there are  120 million slaves

我知道今天世界上 有一億兩千萬名奴隸

and I've seen the top of the pyramid as far as business

我也見過位在商業金字塔頂端的

I've met bankers and I've also met orphans.

Hope you can't just have just because you were born with hope.

We're born and live through difficulties.

In our life -- my parents always taught me

why I was born this way, that we have a choice.

我怎麼會長成這樣 我們還是有選擇

Either to be angry for what we don't have

The power of that choice  was the first thing

that I had to overcome and decide for myself,

是我戰勝與為自己決定的第一件事

A lot of kids would come up to me and tease me.

And I have been speaking at 5 congresses,

I've met 7 presidents all around the world.

I have 30 thousand invitations for me to speak.

So wherever I go, I talk about the value of life,

不管我到哪裡 我分享生命的價值

for the school systems in different nations.

When we feel like we don't have enough love

For me in my life as a child, I had a big wall.

在我還小的時候，我有一面很大的牆

I was surrounded by four walls and a low ceiling of opportunity.

我被高牆環繞 我的機會被隔離在外

尤其是能夠倖存地度過一天又一天

with my parents who loved me, who encouraged me,

who told me I was beautiful the way that I was

and not to worry about what other people said about me.

I was actually the first special needs child

我其實是最需要特殊照顧的孩子

to be integrated into the mainstream education system

in Australia and I was awarded Young Citizen of the Year in 1990.

而我在 1990 年時獲頒 澳洲的年度小市民獎

And the world is a hurting place  and the world needs hope

Without hope, we feel like, 'Why are we here?'

沒有希望，我們會懷疑： 「我們為什麼會在這裡？」

Today, I still have no arms and no legs, but everything's changed.

今天，我還是沒有手、沒有腳 但是每件事都改變了

For me,  I was looking for hope and happiness

In fact, if this side of the table represents my hope,

事實上，如果這面桌子代表了我的希望

truth encourages me to become all that I can be.

真相鼓勵我成為 任何我想要成為的模樣

但是每天都有想要打擊我們的人

coming in our mind, people who discourage  us.

對我們說謊 讓那些傷人的話刺進心裡

You know the people that you have in your life

who, no matter how good of a day you're having, they'll bring you down?

有些出現在你生命中的人 就是能讓你難過？

Or no matter how bad of a day you're having, they'll bring you even lower?

或是不管你已經捱過多麼痛苦的一天 他們還是會讓你更加難過？

Think of the 3 biggest discourages in your life.

It only takes 3 seconds for me to tell you something discouraging

我只需要花三秒鐘 就能讓你感到沮喪

I've met so many 50-year-old women and 40-year-old women

who still remember what their fathers told them that they wish they'd never heard.

還記得他們的父親曾對她們說了 他們一輩子也不想聽到的話

And when you hear those words and then your mind starts growing with these lies.

當你聽到那些話 你的心就會開始帶著謊言長大

"Nick, you're not good enough, just give up, you'll never get a job",

「尼克，你不夠好，放棄吧！ 你永遠也找不到工作。」

"You won't get married, you can't even hold your wife's hand".

「你永遠也結不了婚 你連老婆的手也沒辦法牽。」

「如果你連孩子哭的時候 都不能抱起他

if you can't even pick up your kids when they're crying?"

You're alone. Sure, your parents hug you.

你很孤單，當然，你的父母會擁抱你

Just give up. Just give up. Just give up.

At age 8 I thought that I should commit suicide. Why?

在我八歲的時候 我覺得我應該自殺，為什麼？

'Cause I didn't have hope. I thought I didn't have hope.

因為我沒有希望 我以為我沒有希望

What's the word, believing in something you do not see? Faith.

相信你看不到的，是哪個字？ 信念

Words can only do so much. Hugs can do much more than words,

言語能做的只有這麼多 擁抱能夠做得比言語更多

but when hugs can't do anything, that's where faith kicks in.

但是當擁抱幫不上忙的時候 就該信念上場了

For me, words and hugs were not enough, but I had no faith.

對我來說，言語和擁抱都不夠 但是我也沒有信念
