No excuses.  No whining.  No complaining.  Success and nothing less.

Everyone has a will to get back up and to succeed. I fell that because if you don't get back up then why try to succeed. If you do get back up and succeed then you will get good grades in school and in life.

Ashlee J said...

I think I do have the will to succeed. I think I have the will to succeed because when I mess up I just keep on trying. Just like if I fall I get back up.

Jessica W. said...

This video is true. If you fail you can try again. Even though he has no arms or legs, if he falls he can get right back up. If he fails to get up, he keeps trying. Some people try and fail and will give up. As a student if I fail at something I will try again and again until I pass. Each time I will push myself harder and harder until I succeed.

Blaize said...

I think everyone has the will to succeed if they try hard enough. So people shouldn't give up, they should keep trying. the answer to your question do I have the will to succeed, yes. If I don't have the will to succeed then I won't get good grades, I will fail my class.

Austin D. said...

I think that if I try hard enough I can do anything. If I just give up I am not going to get anywhere. Do you think I think am going to get anywhere if I give up? If I give up you am letting myself down.

Shala S. said...

I think that no one should ever give up no matter what the problem is. Everyone will have success if they set their minds to it. If you ask your self will I be successful the answer is, yes. If you believe that you can't be successful then you might not go to college or get a good job. So always believe that you can be successful.

Austin D. said...

I think that if I try hard enough I can do anything. If I just give up I am not going to get anywhere. Do you think I think am going to get anywhere if I give up? If I give up I am letting myself down.

Lisa B. said...

Just like Nick Vujicic said you can fall 100 times and you can fail 100 times. Then just because it is hard you can't just give up and stop trying. You have to try to get back up again. I think that you should always try your best at everything that you do.

Chase said...

I think if you fall down you should get back up again. For example like if you get a bad grade don't let it keep you from getting back up again. Just keep trying the best you can or even harder and you will get that good grade. I know when I fall down i get back up again.

Andrew M said...

Sometimes I have trouble getting back up again but I keep trying. I believe that sometime I will get back up and sooner or later I start getting better grades. I learn that hard things can be accomplished with a little bit of practice. If something looks hard don't give up it is not the end of the world, some things just take practice.

Alex H. said...

I can get up when I'm down. It doesn't matter what it is. I have to keep trying and trying. If I'm trying to succeed at something I should set a goal.

DawnB said...

If I fall I have the strength to get back up, and if I don't get back up I am not trying hard enough. If I get back up every time then when I grow up I will be successful.

Jakob S. said...

I should never giver give up because if I do I will always fail because I gave up. I should always do what I'm doing and don't give up I should always keep trying and trying until I have accomplished what I'm trying to do then that's when I know I'm not failing any more. what am I now a big winner because I never gave up.

Ridge Y. said...

I think this video will really show people how much harder it is for other people in live.The thing I noticed about Nick is he never complained once or made any excuses about not being able to do something.I really admire that considering he has no arms and no legs. Also people now days that have perfect health complain and make excuses all the time.I think nick is right though sometimes it is hard to get back up when you fall.So I think you have two choices get back up no matter how hard it is and live a good live or stay down when it gets hard and live a much more miserable live.

HayleyF said...

I think that nobody should ever give up. If you give up you will never get any were. Truly at one point in 4th grade I said I give up and I fell, and I fell hard.

Never give up if you do well good luck to you. In the video the guy fell he could of sat there and and tried but failed. Nick did not quit when he fell he got back up.

Are you going to be the person that never went to college has a bad life? Are you going to be the person that has a bad old rusted car? Are you going to be the person that has a girlfriend that weights 500 pounds? I don't want to be that person. When I fall I get over it and get back up.

jakob said...

I should never giver give up because if I do I will always fail because I gave up. I should always do what I'm doing and don't give up I should always keep trying and trying until I have accomplished what I'm trying to do then that's when I know I'm not failing any more. what am I now a big winner because I never gave up.

Emilyd. said...

I think that if you give up your not going to get nothing out of what you tried. If you work and work you might get something out of it. No matter if it is hard you should never give up. If you set your mind to it you will have success.
If you believe that you can be successful you might get a job a great job you might even go to college. If you don't believe that you can be successful you might end up failing a grade or two and you might not go to college. If you are not prepared for anything you won't get good grades in you life in school.

Joseph F. said...

I think people that struggle are not to give up.That might mean that you will never get up.Not if you know Nick Vujicic,or if you are Nick.What I mean is that lots of people are like Nick.

ALISON G. said...

If I fall I should get back up again, because not getting back up won't get me anywhere in life. I'm going to always get back up again, because I won't reach my goals if I don't get back up.

Dustin said...

I am able to get back up if I fall down because I have the will to get back up. I can do anything if I want to so why can't you?

Dylan H said...

I think that if someone fails and they just give up, that they are not trying. Even if I get a F or I forget my stuff for math, I just try again so that I don't forget my stuff and I get a C,B, or A. If I don't try again I'm never going to get a A or be prepared, which means I wouldn't get good grades I wouldn't go to college and I would most likely get a bad job, car, and house. I would rather have a good job, car, and house but if you don't that is fine with me.

KyraS. said...

I think Nick is right when I fall I need to get back up and try again. when I fall down there is always a way for me to get back up. No matter how hard it is I can always get back up. Now I know there is always a way that I can get back up when I need to.

Micah H said...

The video had a lot of effect on me because the man on the video with no arms or legs got up when he fell even though he had no arms or legs to help him get up.
The video inspired me to work harder and it inspired me to get up when I fall. What I mean is when I'm not doing my best work I'm falling but when I am doing my best work I'm standing.

heath j said...

This video has a big effect on me because the guy was able to get back up even when he had no arms or legs. The video inspire me so when I fall I am going to get right back up.

Rhianna L. said...

This video has really opened my eyes. Now that I have seen this video I will never give up and I feel that if I fall down I should keep trying and get back up. If you don't try you won't get any where. I hope that other people will see this video and feel the same way. That guy is a brave man. I look up to him now.

Cade V. said...

If I fell down I would try my best to get back up. If I fail I keep trying again and again. I would do anything to succeed. I would never give up. Nobody on any thing should give up. That would be the negative thing to do.

Nick U said...

It was a good video. It had a lot of good detail and how the man didn't give up. He try his best to back up and he did.

Megan B. said...

This man must be a really strong person.
He might not have arms or legs but he never gives up when he falls down.

MollieP said...

When I watched this video it almost made me cry. He has a lot of courage to get back up. When he got up it took a lot of hard work and I will try my hardiest and have courage to pass the 6th grade. I'll have courage just like this guy on this video.

austinp said...

I will try to succeed on any thing that I try like math reading anything I will try to succeed everywhere I will try to succeed.

Jessica W. said...

I think everyone has the will to succeed if they try hard enough

I agree with Blaize, if people try hard enough they will succeed. Some people don't try hard enough so they don't succeed.

Sara A. said...

Then just because it is hard you can't just give up and stop trying


I agree with Lisa because if you fall down and don't try to get back up you will just keep failing and fall down again.

Caitlin W. said...

When he fell down with no arm or legs. I wouldn't believe. He didn't even ask for help to get up. It was a amazing that he got up. He didn't complain. Some peoples will fail, they have to just keep trying and never give up when you fail. If you give up, things will get worst. So just believe yourself.

Ashlee J said...

Everyone has the will to get back up and succeed.

Brook I do agree with what you said. Everyone has the power to get back up to succeed. People should never give up even when they want to because the hardest things a worth trying for.

MollieP said...

I think everyone has the will to succeed if they try hard enough

I agree with you Blaize if you have courage in yourself you could do anything.

Megan B. said...

I agree with you Cade.I would to keep trying to get back up if I fall.I would want to do my best I wouldn't want to fail and give up if something is hard. I would want to do good.

Mark S. said...

When I fall and I try, but I just can't get back up, it may be hard but there is always a way that everyone can. Think of the positive. No matter what situation I'm in I can get back up. Just look at what Nick Vujicic did, he got back up.

Chase said...

I agree with Andrew because sometimes you have trouble getting back up. But if you keep trying you can always get back up.

Shala S. said...

I agree Micah. The video has effected me too because I learned that if you don't keep trying your not going to get back up. And this video has pushed me to work hard and give it my all.

Austin D said...

I agree with Heath because if you fall down and you give up then you will not get anywhere in life. I will never give up

Heidi V said...

If I fail I try and try until I get back up again. I hope to be successful in life.

Katie R. said...

If I fall I have the strength to get back up, and if I don't get back up I am not trying hard enough. If I keep trying and trying I will grow up and be successful.

Nicholas K said...

Sometimes I fall down at school on hard subjects and I think that I will never get back up. Even if I try I think I can never get back up. But if you believe in yourself you can get back up. Just like Nick Vujicic.

catelyn f. said...

I believe that that that man is very wise to say and think something like that. I do believe that he's right too. His story was legendary, it will be remembered for years to come. I will remember it, it will always be in my heart forever and always forever until I die.

stephen D said...

I agree Ridge. That teaches people when they are capable of getting up they can do it! Nick has no arms or no legs when he got up I think that left a big effect on people

sabrina b said...

The video was very true. If you fall down then you can get back up. All you have to do is try. But, if you don't try you will never get up. The important thing is that you at least try. It doesn't matter the problem, you can always get up sooner or later.

Ridge Y. said...

Kyra said No matter how hard it is I can always get back up. I agree with Kyra. I think she is right because when you fall you can always get back up no matter how hard it is. I think you just have to be willing to push yourself enough to get back up.

Jaredb said...

Nick is right if I fall I will finish in not a very happy ending. I will just be sitting or laying on the ground and could not do a thing. Now if I wanted to be like Nick I would be up and running and having a very good life just like Nick.

HayleyF said...

Emily I agree I think that if you give up your not going to get anything out of what you tried to do. What you tried to do went to waste. What you tried to do was a waste of time if you choose to quit.

EmilyD said...

Nick U, I agree with you. It was a good video and it was nice how the man didn't give up. I think that no one should give up.

CassieD. said...

I agree with Shala when she said everyone should try to get up no matter how hard things can be. What you wrote is exactly the way i felt. I think everyone should be successful.

jakob said...

Micah,I agree with you. When I fall down I will do my best to get back up.



I think when I fall down I will get back up and I mean he had no arms no legs that inspired me a lot. Doing my hardest every single day to keep my self up. One day I will fall down at one point but I don't know when I will fall down.When I fall back down I will still do my best to get back up
I will fall down. When I fall back down I will still do my best to get back up

alison g. said...

I agree Andrew, if I fall I try and try to get back up again,Because I know I will get back up sooner or later.

That's true Andrew if you fall down and keep trying you will eventually get back up.

Alex H. said...

I agree with Shala when she said I think no one should give up no matter what the problem is.

That's true Shala because if you give up you will never get anywhere in live

sabrina b said...

I agree with Rhianna it opened my eyes also.

KyraS. said...

Rhianna said if you don't try you won't get anywhere . I agree with Rhianna because you should always try to get back up. you are right.

DawnB said...

I agree with Rhianna because it really did open my eyes. Now that if I fall down I should get right back up and try again.

Andrew M said...

Rhianna, when you said if you don't try you won't get any where. I agree with you. You won't get any where in life if you let some bad things and mistakes pull you down. Nick didn't stop and he had no arms or legs so why should we. If he can get back up so can we.

Seth V. said...

This is very motivating because even though he has no arms and legs he gets right back up and tries again. It's kind of like football because even though you think you don't think you have the strength to back up and try again but you do.

Tyler H said...

This video makes me think that you can't give up. He tells me that you have hope to get back up and keep going. Like if I had a C in math, don't stop and say I can't do it. I can do it. You get back up and still fight for that B.

Lindsey H said...

It was a incredible video. It had a lot of great details about how the could get back up with no limbs. Nick try his best to back up and nick got back up! If nick did not get back up he was giving up.
