-
I wasn't ready
-
I have no arms and no legs
-
but I'm very thankful that I have
-
my little chicken drumstick here
-
People freak out when they see me for the first time
-
It's so cool
-
I was asked
-
What it's like
-
all by myself
-
Everyone I'd be said
-
the bottom of this line
-
is looking up and waiting for other people
-
to come down
-
and here I come and they're freakin' out
-
They're like
-
Yeah you know like this
-
And I was so attempted to look at myself
-
and go
-
What happened?
-
You know?
-
There were times where I sort of look
-
at my life and thinking
-
well I can't do this and I can't do that
-
and you keep on concentrating
-
on the things that you wish you had
-
all the
-
things that you wish you didn't have
-
and you sort of forget what you
-
DO have
-
And there's no point I believe in my life
-
where
-
I wish I had arms and legs
-
I wish I had arms and legs
-
'Cause wishing won't help but
-
What I've seen in life
-
It's just a couple of key principles
-
The first thing that I've seen
-
is to be thankful
-
It's hard to be thankful man I tell you
-
When I was 8 years old
-
I sort of summed up my life
-
and thought
-
I'm never gonna get married
-
I'll..
-
You know
-
I'm not gonna have a job
-
I'm not gonna have a life of purpose
-
What kind of a husband am I gonna be?
-
For I can't even hope my wife is here
-
I'ts a lie to think
-
that you're not good enough
-
It's a lie to think
-
that you're not worth anything
-
It's freezing! I can't feel my hands
-
I love life
-
You know so many people come and say
-
"How come you smile so much?"
-
And I'm like
-
"Well.. It's a long story!"
-
But it's very simple at the same time
-
You see it's very hard to smile
-
since times in life through things
-
that happened that you don't know
-
when you don't understand
-
and you don't know
-
if you're gonna get through it
-
You know you go through
-
your storms in life
-
and you don't know how long
-
this storm is gonna be
-
and today I wanna share with you
-
some principles that I've learned
-
in my life
-
that you can use in yours
-
Being patient is beautiful hah?
-
I tell you
-
It's the hardest thing
-
But I realised I may not have hands
-
to hold my wife's hand
-
but when the time comes
-
I will be able to hold her heart
-
I don't need hands to hold her heart
-
You know it is scary tonight how many girls
-
have eating disorders
-
It is scary to know how many people
-
are just angry at life because of
-
their situation at home
-
and anger at others
-
It's scary
-
to know how many people
-
actually feel like they worth enough
-
every single girl right here right now
-
I want you to know that
-
You are beautiful
-
You are gorgeous just the way you are
-
and you boys
-
You're the man!
