In 1982, I was a young marketing person in a company in Mumbai. I had a very senior colleague named Paul, who taught me how to  36   marketing effectively and how to deal with life  37  .
It was one of those  38   days…management, sales calls, planning my travel schedule, booking hotels, arranging appointments and the   39   was endless. By the end of the day, I was not only exhausted but was getting  40  . It was at this time that Paul invited me to his house to have a rest.
We made our way to Paul’s house. Although  41   after a day’s hard work, I was excited to chat with Paul and  42  his rich experience in marketing. As we entered his house  43  the main door, Paul started singing his favourite song, I have a dream. I was in no  44  to listen to his song. I only wanted to hear about how he handled  45   sales calls.
As I leaned over Paul’s shoulder to tell him that, two young girls walked up to Paul and hugged him. They couldn’t walk steadily, and neither could they talk  　46 　 , but their faces were full of  47   and they also sang a song: No mummy’s kisses only daddy’s smiles; nobody wants us, and daddy hugs us tonight.
I was watching what was going on, totally  48   in the beautiful singing, when Paul tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to sit down.  49  to know, I asked Paul who these girls were. To my  50  , Paul told me they were his daughters and they were born as “  51　 children” (mentally disabled). His wife died and he was both Mother and Father to them.
I was moved to tears. In the office, no one knew what Paul was   52  in his personal life. He never looked for   53  from his friends and colleagues. On the contrary, he always helped us at the office. And being head of the Department, he always  54  us to move forward in life.
Paul’s life has been a great  55  to me. If a man can smile through these troubles, nothing can prevent him from achieving success in work or life.

I believe that families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who show up and love you when no one else will.

In May 1977, I was living in a Howard Johnson’s motel off Interstate 10 in Houston. My dad and I 21 a room with two double beds and a bathroom which was too 22 for a 15-year-old girl and her father. Dad’s second marriage was 　23 and my stepmother had 　24 us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no　 25_ what to do with me. And that’s when my other family 　26 .

Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home 　27　 their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. I 　28 with them for the next seven years.

Barb washed my skirts the same as Su’s. She 　29 I had lunch money, doctors’ appointments, help with homework and nightly hugs. Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders. 30 I could tell, for the Beaches there was no 31 between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.

When Su and I 32 college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.

The Beaches knew 33 about me when they took me in – they had heard the whole story from Su. When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to _34 his kids. Before I went to live with the Beaches I had believed that life was entirely 　35__ and that love was shaky and untrustworthy. I had believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.

36 the Beaches, I would have become a bitter, cynical (愤世嫉俗的) woman. They gave me a(n) 37 that allowed me to grow and change. They kept me from being paralyzed(使瘫痪 ,使麻痹 ,使无能力)by my _38　 , and they gave me the confidence to open my heart.

I 　39 family. For me, it wasn’t the family that was there on the day I was 　40　 , but the one that was there for me when I was living in a Howard Johnson’s on Interstate 10.

My name is Nick Vujicic．I was born without any limbs（四肢）．But one of my most _36　 videos on YouTube shows footage（视频片段）of me skateboarding, surfing, playing music, and best of all, 　37 　hugs from all smts of great people．

　 All in all, those are pretty ordinary 38 that just about anyone can do, right? So 39 do you think that video has been viewed millions of times? My theory is that people are 40 to watch it because in spite of my physical limitations, I'm living 41 I have no limits．

　　 People often expect someone 42　 a severe disability to be inactive, maybe even angry．I like to 43 them by showing that I lead a very adventurous and fruitful life．

　　 Among the hundreds of 44　 on that video, here's one typical remark: "Seeing a guy like this being happy makes me wonder why I feel 45 for myself sometimes---or feel not funny enough, or whatever． How can I 　46 think thoughts like that when this guy is living without limbs and still being happy ! ?"

　　 I found happiness when I realized that imperfect 47　 I may be, I am the perfect Nick Vujicic． I'm designed 48 Cod's plan．That's not to say that there isn't 49 for improvement．

I'm always trying to be better so I can better 　50 _ the world!

　　 I do believe my life has no 51 _．I want you to feel the same way about your life, no matter what your challenges may he． As we 52 our journey together, please take a moment to 53 any limitations you've placed on your life．Now think about what _54 would be like to be 55 those limitations．What would your life be if anything were possible?

“He looks normal.” That's what everybody says when I tell them my son was just diagnosed as autism（孤独症）. They all say it without 36 .

It’s true. Alejandro does look like every other 37 boy. He plays, he smiles, and he runs around with the two-year-old boy’s boundless 38 until he is too tired. He laughs when you move your fingers 39 on a sensitive part of his body. And he often 40 his toys like every other young child at his age.

But most of the time, Alejandro 41 in his own little world playing with his toys all by himself 42 in a group of kids and 43 you when you talk to him loudly. At that time he’s alone, no matter how hard you try to 44 him.

My wife and I get 45 . We ask for “nose kisses” or hugs and many times he doesn’t 46 us. It’s extremely anxious when your child’s face is right in front of you and he won’t admit your 47 .

He regularly doesn’t eat. The food often 48 him when he puts it in his mouth. He is very small 49 his age. We are told that it’s another 50 of the autism.

Because autism isn’t like some other 51 , there is no set treatment. Each child needs to be treated 52 ; what works for one probably doesn’t work for another. Try a treatment. If it doesn’t work, you have to try another 53 you hopefully find something that does work.

The future is cloudy, but we will try everything we can do to reach him, because we love him and we know he’s a(n) 54 little boy. And we believe with the help of love, we can 55 any difficulty.
