In fact, my mom was a nurse.

And she made sure she did everything right.

And my parents didn't do anything wrong, and my doctor didn't do anything wrong.

And uh, I...

I was just told that it's one of these things, you know. Only God knows why this happened.

When people were teasing me, I used to ask myself, "Why are people teasing me?" You know.

Is it just because I looked different, or what is it?

Because I knew that a lot of other people looked different, you know.

Some people have orange hair.

Some people have black hair. Some people are tall. Some people are short. Everybody's got their differences.

And I didn't think that my difference was much different than everybody else.

Then why are they picking on me?

But this is the thing at school. Everybody picks on everybody.

It's so sad to see that

people get teased about, you know, how their face looks

or if they got a limp, or if they're in a wheelchair. And it's wrong.

It's so wrong.

You know, when people see me for the first time, what do they think? I feel so sorry for this guy.

Without arms and legs. And you must have such a bad life.

And you know, this guy can't do this, this guy... Why?

How can they say that?

They judge me by how they look. They have no idea that I've done a double degree in accounting and financial planning.

They have no idea that I'm a real estate investor, that I'm a stock market investor, that I love my life.

That I travel around the world, and I give people hope in a unique and powerful way. I love my life.

I'm living a more complete life than the average 23-year-old.

Because arms and legs will not make you complete.

And how you look will not make you complete.

This is how I brush my teeth.

And you know, in life, where you say, "I wish I have this."

And, "If only I have this, then I'll be happy."

And you get that, and you're happy for two weeks.

And then, you said, "If only I have this, then I'll be happy."

And you get that, and are you happy?

Yeah, for two weeks!

And then?

No "and then".

This is the thing.

Happiness does not come from temporary things.

Because if you want happiness and you go to temporary things, your happiness will be temporary.

You want to see a cool trick? I'll show you.

It's quite funny.

If you actually find out the definition of disability, disability is something that's gonna stop you from doing something.

And I think that having no arms and no legs is not the biggest disability at all.

In fact, I think the greatest disability of all is your mind.
