No arms, No legs, No worries !

Saya mendapat ini melalui email dari teman. Benar-benar inspiring dan memberikan motivasi, tidak ada salahnya saya share juga disini.










My name is Nick Vujicic and I was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth
"defect". As you can imagine, I was faced with many challenges and obstacles. Their firstborn son had been born without limbs! There were no warnings or time to prepare themselves for it. The doctors we shocked and had no answers at all! There is still no medical reason why this had happened and Nick now has a Brother and Sister who were born just like any other baby.











I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these "bad" things happen in our life. I had complete peace knowing that God won't let anything happen to us in our life unless God has a good purpose for it all I am now twenty-threeyears old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the corporate sector.

I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever God leads, I follow. Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year..

It will be called "No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!"

I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's 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 can 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, instead of focusing on our capability, concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us and we can't do anything without God . Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's!










The ONLY FEAR IN LIFE IS THAT I FORGET HOW GOD HAS LED ME IN THE PAST!

And remember: WHEN YOU'RE BUSY JUDGING PEOPLE, YOU HAVE NO TIME TO LOVE THEM.

The Mother of Productivity

Tuesday, January 1, 2008 by Erick Pijoh , ,

Tulisan ini adalah sebuah article yang saya baca dari koran setempat ketika saya sedang dalam perjalanan dinas ke Makati, Philippines.

Judulnya adalah "The mother of productivity" By Teresa R. Tunay, OCDS. Ilustrasi Gambar oleh Albert Rodriguez.

Saya sangat tertarik oleh article ini. Saking tertariknya saya menggunting article tersebut dan saya simpan sampai saat ini.

Ijinkan saya untuk berbagi dengan teman-teman, semoga bermanfaat. Intinya apapun yang kita lakukan, haruslah kita selalu mangandalkan Tuhan dan mengucap syukur kepada-Nya. Jangan Sombong! Diluar Tuhan, kita tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa.

GRATITUDE IS THE MOTHER OF PRODUCTIVITY

Productivity in the workplace may be perceived many as that which leads to higher profits and the conmpany's growth. Productivity may be that but not just that. The kind of productivity I speak of that springs from gratitude is longer-lasting, benefits the most number of people, enhances quaity of life, and gives greater job satisfaction to even the "least" in the workplace. And the gratitude I refer to is that borne of the realization that without God, we are nothing.

Where did your skills, your abilities, talents, your very breath, come from? Your coworkers or may be everybody in the workplace recognize your genius, but one bad fall in the bath room could turn you into a vegetable in an instant. Your good health at age 60 could be your pride but a vehicular accident could snuff your life, knock on wood. Do you ever wonder - when you go to sleep at night - if you'll still wake up the next morning?

Our fruitfulness, our productivity in the workplace, is greately increased by the knowledge that all we are and all we have are gifts from the Creator. Thus humbled, we thank Him, knowing we are nothing without Him. Being humble and greatful makes us "remain in Him and Him in us" and translates to work performance that in due time spells problem-free progress, growth and abundance for every-one.

Can you imagine how efficient our work systems and structures can become if our brilliant ideas, corporate plans and programs are aimed towards this kind of productivity? Corruption at work will come to halt, and the gap between the rich and the poor will eventually vanish. Think about it. (E-mail the author at teresa_de_manila@yahoo.com).

Gospel - John 15:1-8

I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.
Salam Mapalus!
