We cry for little things but forgetting there are people who were never privileged to have things we have. Nick Vujicic was born without hands nor leg but he is one happiest man in the world. The 31-year-old Australian Christian minister, who was born in Melbourne, was pictured last weekend with his family enjoying a typical Hawaiian holiday - frolicking on the beach and soaking up the sunshine.

Nick struggled with his disability as a child, both physically and emotionally. At the age of ten, after a failed suicide attempt where he tried to drown himself in a bath, he vowed never to give up again. By the age of 17 he had started his own non-profit charity - Life Without Limbs. After university, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce, Vujicic embarked on a motivational speaking tour, concentrating on teenage issues, disability, and his faith in God and how it helps his life. To date, he has visited more than 40 countries on five continents.
In 2008 Vijucic met Kanae Miyahara, and has described it as 'love at first sight'. He was quoted in a 2013 interview in The Christian Post about the unique way he proposed. Having the engagement ring in his mouth he casually asked Kanae: 'Baby, can I kiss your hands?' Kanae admitted that she thought he was simply biting her finger, but then she saw the ring he had been trying to position in the right spot. Vujicic is due to release a book - Stand Strong: You Can Overcome Bullying - on April 15.
