He thinks a positive attitude is the key to success.He was born without limbs. He used to be made fun of for looking like a monster.
57、Everything seemed impossible to him. However, Nick never gave up. After many failures, he finally learned to swim, fish and even surf. What surprised us is that he completed a university education and got two degrees. And now he is the CEO of two companies.After reading Nicks story, I have been feeling inspired by his spirit. Compared with him, we are healthy enough to enjoy life. Somehow we are always frustrated facing difficulties. I think Nick has set a good example for us. Try to appreciate what we have and be more persevering and you will achieve success eventually.
