Inspirational Story Of Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan’s parents could not afford to feed him when he was a baby. They considered selling him for US$26 to the English obstetrician who delivered him. At the tender age of 7, Jackie was apprenticed at the infamous Academy of Chinese Opera. For more than 10 years from 5am to midnight, seven days a week, he endured a brutal program of music, dance and traditional martial arts training.

The training he received was particularly harsh and cruel. The students was beaten and starved for not performing up to par. Later he appeared in some early Hong Kong films as a stunt man and worked his way up to stunt coordinator, then to director.

When Bruce Lee died, Jackie, along with many others were picked to filled the vacuum. Jackie failed miserably.“Very hard, very hard,” he said, “So instead of trying to be Bruce Lee, I decided to be myself.”

Jackie was born to be “Steve” who was later changed to Jack Chan. Later, Raymond Chow, a director changed it to “Jackie Chan”. His first big break came in 1978 with the movie “Snake In Eagle’s Shadow”.

Today, Jackie is indisputably Hong Kong’s biggest movie star and is currently making big in US too. Jackie’s fees are up to US$50 million a year!

WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING?

You may have thank God for your many blessings, but what if God seems to be unfair to you in some ways? What if He dealt you an overwhelming impediment for life? It wasn’t until I saw Nick Vujicic's story that such thoughts ever entered my mind. He is an amazing inspiration.
Nick is a young man of 22 years of age.

He is a resident of suburban Brisbane, Queensland. He has a positive approach to life and is outgoing and friendly, with a happy and cheerful personality. He has a smile that makes anyone feel comforted and at ease. But life hasn’t been easy for him.

His parents, both lifelong Christians, had eagerly anticipated the birth of Nick Vujicic, their first child.

Nick Vujicic was on the morning of the 4th of December 1982 in Melbourne, Australia. However, the last two words on the minds of his parents was "Praise God!". That is because their firstborn son had been born without limbs! All his mother could say was, “Please, take him away!”
There were no warnings or time to prepare themselves for it. The doctors were shocked and had no answers at all! There is still no medical reason why this had happened.

The whole church mourned over his birth and Nick Vujicic parents were absolutely devastated. Everyone asked, "If God is a God of Love, then why would God let something this bad happen to not just anyone, but dedicated Christians?" Nick’s father thought the baby wouldn't survive for very long, but tests proved that Nick Vujicic was a healthy baby boy just with a few limbs missing i.e. no legs, no arms.

Understandably, Nick’s parents had strong concern and evident fears of what kind of life he would be able to lead. The first biggest hurdle was for his parents to be at peace and trusting that God was in control. It took them a number of months of tears, questions and grief before that complete trust overtook their hearts. God provided them strength, wisdom and courage through those early years and soon after that Nick was old enough to go to school.

There are a few people who assume that because of Nick’s physical disability that it meant that Nick Vujicic would also be mentally disabled. The law in Australia didn't allow Nick to be integrated into a main-stream school because of his physical disability. God did miracles and gave his mother the strength to fight for the law to be changed. Nick Vujicic was one of the first disabled students to be integrated into a main-stream school.

Nick liked going to school, and just try to live life like everyone else. But it was in his early years of school where he encountered uncomfortable times of feeling rejected, weird and bullied because of his physical difference. It was very hard for him to get used to, but with the support of his parents, he started to develop attitudes and values which helped him overcome these challenging times. He knew that he was different but on the inside he was just like everyone else. There were many times when Nick felt so low that he wouldn't go to school just so he didn't have to face all the negative attention. Nick was encouraged by his parents to ignore them and to try start making friends by just talking with some kids. Soon the students realized that Nick Vujicic was just like them, and starting there God kept on blessing him with new friends.

There were times when Nick felt depressed and angry because he couldn't change the way he was, or blame anyone for that matter. Nick went to Sunday School and learnt that God loves us all and that He cares for you. Nick understood that love to a point as a child, but he didn't understand that if God loved him why did He make Nick Vujicic like this? Is it because he did something wrong? Nick felt like he was a burden to those around him and the sooner he go, the better it'd be for everyone. Nick Vujicic actually wanted to end his pain and end his life at a young age, but he is thankful once again, for his parents and family who were always there to comfort him and give him strength.

Due to his emotional struggles, he had experienced bullying, self esteem problems and loneliness, God has implanted a passion of sharing his story and experiences to help others cope with whatever challenge they have in their life and let God turn it into a blessing. To encourage and inspire others to live to their fullest potential and not let anything gets in the way of accomplishing their hopes and dreams.

One of the first lessons that he learnt was not to take things for granted. Nick Vujicic had that wake up call around the age of twelve and realized just how much he was blessed with. He took his foot for granted, his family and the fact that he wasn't born in a third world country, with all the blessings that God had freely given.

Dont you think you should go down on your kneels now and thank God for how he has created you?Stop complaining about how you look,just keep saying to yourself I AM THE BEST

THIS STORY TOUCHED ME-READ IT AND THINK

Some years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole that was behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out through the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator was swimming toward the shore.

In the house, his mother was looking out through the window.. She saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed, and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. >From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms, just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began a very incredible tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go.

A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim, and shot the alligator. Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy SURVIVED. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal.. On his arms, there were deep scratches where his mother's fingernails dug into his flesh; in her effort to hang on to the son she loved. The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma, asked the boy if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. Then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, "But look at my arms.

I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Mom wouldn't let go." You and I can identify with that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly, and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friend, are because God has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, He's been right there, holding on to you. The Scripture teaches that God loves you.

You are a child of God. He wants to protect you, and provide for you in every way. But, sometimes, we foolishly wade into dangerous situations, not knowing what lies ahead. The swimming hole of life is filled with peril and we forget that the enemy is waiting to attack. That is when the tug-of-war begins. If you have the scars of His love on your arms, be very, very grateful.. He will not ever let you go. Please pass this on to those you love. God has blessed you, so that you can be a blessing to others.

You just never know where a person is in his/her life, and what they are going through. Never judge other persons scars, because you don't know how they got them. Also, it is so important that we are not too selfish to receive the blessings of these messages without forwarding them to someone else. Right now, someone needs to know that God loves them, and you love them too enough to not let them go!!!

Your Mind-Your Greatest Asset

Believe it or not, if you want to make $1,000,000 from the net, you will have to start it from your mind, from your thinking. For me, nothing can ever beat your mindset. It is the most important asset in your life. Your mindset, or your thinking is the only factor that determines your future, your results, what you want in life, how much money you make each month, everything!Let me show you some truth, some real life examples.

At the age of 8, Tiger Woods set his goal of breaking every record set in golf and to become the world’s number one golfer. He accomplish this feat at 13 years later at the age of 21. How? He spent those 13 years focusing on his game in order to take it to the level he needed to make him to be the best. Now, how did Tiger Woods achieved all these amazing results in his life? That is mainly because he thinks of it! With all the achievements he got today, it is because he had the thinking of wanted to be a champion golfer.

What about Steven Spielberg? At the age of 12, Steven Spielberg knew that what he wanted to do was to tell stories to the world by making movies. It was this specific goal that directed him to spend his time making home videos at the age of 12 and exposing himself to movie sets at universal studios at the age of 18. It was these years of focused effort that allowed him to build the level of experience and skill he needed to make some of the best movies around. Can you see it now? It is because of the thinking again.

It is because he keeps on thinking about wanting to tell stories to the whole world through his movies. It all starts from his thinking, his mindset. Without all these thinking, did you think that he can ever achieve such a great results? (Wanted to know how powerful dreams can be? Read, The Power of Dreams)The Law of AttractionYou bet, that will be impossible! If you know what is the Law of Attraction, then you will understand how thinking can affects everything in our life. If you want to be an internet millionaire, then you must first adopt the mindset and the thinking of how being an internet millionaire is all about. You have to keep on telling yourself that you are internet millionaire. You have to think about how much money you are going to make each and everyday. It is your thinking and your mindset that creates your future.

What kind of life you are living in right now, only means that you have that kind of thinkingIf you are poor today, it is because you keep on thinking that money is not enough! You have to work harder to pay for all your dept. In the end, you will only attracts what is in your mind, which is dept. So if you want to have a happy life, you have to constantly think about something joyful. It will attracts all the happiness to you. Have you ever wondered why some rich people can make so much money in just a short time, then lose all of the money. After awhile, they can somehow gain back all their wealth again?This is because in the beginning, they keep on thinking about money. It is all about money that flows in their mind, and therefore, they attract money. They become rich in a very short time. After that, once they have all those money, they are afraid of losing it. Guess what, they lost all of their wealth, because they keep on thinking of the fear of losing money. And once they lose all the money, they will start to think about how to attract money once again.

This tells us that it is our mindset and our thinking that determine what we want in our life!Your Thinking Determines Your ActionWhat you think in your mind is going to determine what you want in your life. This is because your thinking will affects your action. Imagine this, if you keep on thinking about wanting to buy a brand new mobile phone that badly, do you think that you will actually buy it in the end? I’m sure you know the answer.

It is same in sports. If you keep on thinking about how you can improve your basketball skills, your thinking is going to lead you into taking real actions. You are going to play basketball more often, you will keep on striving to improve your skill.This is how your thinking attracts what you want the most for you.

I hope you can see it clearly by now, it is our mindset and our thinking that makes everything possible. Everything happens twice, once in your mind, as what you think, and once in reality. That is why you have to think about what you want every single day. Remember this, thinking equals building. If you think about how to get rich, you are actually building a wealthy life.

YOUR BELIEF DETERMINES YOUR SUCCESS

Heard this many times right? This is so true that what you believe in will bring you the results. Today, if you want to achieve great success in your life, you must first believe in yourself that you are able to do it. It doesn’t really matter whether your beliefs are real or not. The important thing here is that your belief is going to empower you and motivates you to take massive actions toward your goals. So, that is why it is important to make sure that your beliefs are the positive ones that will drive you to your success. If you have negative beliefs today, it is because you have a bad experience in the past or maybe it is because of your surrounding.

Most of our beliefs are shaped from the people that we use to mess with, like our friends, our parents, and our teachers in the school. If your parents told you that investing is risky, and you will never be rich by investing in the stock market, then most probably you will have the same beliefs just like them. There are a lot of limiting beliefs out there, such as, “I’m a slow learner”, “I’m bad in maths”, I’m too old to learn all these”. These are the examples of limiting beliefs that people have, and frankly, do you have one of these? Here is the real life example of how having an empowering belief will bring you the results you always wanted:

In 1981, insurance boss, Morris Goodman, was a victim of a plane crash which he was piloting. His injuries were so severe, so extreme, so much so that his neck was broken in two places, his diaphragm was crushed and his nerves were damaged very badly. His wife was told by the doctor that he would be paralyzed from the neck down for life. She was also told that he was not able to breathe on his own without the use of a respirator. However, Morris Goodman believed so much in the belief that whatever he set his mind to, he could achieve. Within a period of six months, he walked out of the hospital without any medical aid, without any mechanical aid. His doctors were shocked, and Morris Goodman was later named ‘the miracle man’.

So you can see now, nothing is impossible if you believe that you can do it. Just like if you want to be the next internet millionaire, you first have to believe that you can do this, you must believe that earning money online is something that is possible for you. Now, beliefs are never real, they are only real to you yourself only. What you believe becomes the reality to you. Just like if I tell you that Africa is a huge market for shoes, maybe you will think the opposite. This is where our beliefs are different, some people see opportunity while some people see risk. However, no matter what you believe in, you must make sure that your beliefs are positive ones that will brings you to your success.

If you study the successes of all the great people, you will find that they have a very similar thinking habit, that is their belief systems. For them, they will do whatever it takes to make their dreams come true, because they believe that it is worth it, they believe that they can do it, they believe that they are going to achieve it if they take massive actions. This is the difference between an ordinary people with a highly successful people.
