It was so great landing in Singapore and seeing my old friends there again; I’ve been there
multiple, multiple times, and this time it was just, to me, a beautiful, not just closure
but excitement in my spirit, to see what God’s going to do this time around in Singapore.
>>Hi Nick, welcome to Singapore!
Thank you!
>>Welcome to Singapore, welcome to Singapore, welcome to Singapore.
Thank you very much.
I want to say hello to all of Singapore, I love you, thank you so much for having me
here, I’m very very excited.
Thank you for making me feel really welcome, I appreciate it.
And so, we want just southeast Asia to know that there is a love and a purpose that we
can all have, and I’m just so thankful about all the media attention here in Singapore,
to reach especially the young ones all across Singapore.
>>Nick know this Saturday is a very big day for 5,000 of you who managed to get tickets
to No Limits with Nick Vujicic, and guess what—the 938 Live team, myself, and a group
of Nick’s fans are here at Changi airport, terminal 3 right now with Nick Vujicic, the
man of the moment, welcome back to Singapore.
We have a number of questions, you were here last year, how do you feel being back on our
fair island?
I love being here, and what a welcome we have.
I want to thank all the people who have helped make this possible, and 938 Live, love you
so much.
It’s great to be back.
>>Welcome to Singapore!
Xie xie ni wo ai ni.
So repeat after me.
Say I am beautiful!
>>I am beautiful!
Just the way I am!
>>Just the way I am!
And I will never >>And I will never
Ever!
>>Ever!
Give up.
>>Give up.
All right!
We’ve never had press conferences doing in Singapore, and this was the first time
to have my story broadcasted on live radio, with all the references to faith and Jesus
Christ not just recorded and broadcasted there, but rebroadcasted later.
And the feedback was incredible, and it’s actually quite an interesting cool setting,
being in an aquarium, and having a press conference with these sharks and fish all around, and
that was pretty cool, and, and I just hope that if there is any teenagers watching this,
that if you have been bullied, don’t give up.
Keep going.
Dream big.
And take one day at a time.
You don’t believe the opinions of the world.
Come to the truth, and the truth will set you free.
The truth is you’re a wonderful creation, and there’s not another you.
So do your best, and keep on going.
And know, Singapore, I love you very much.
I didn’t think it was going to happen that day, but we put me in this, if you will, tank
within a fish tank.
Uh, that’s a tank.
And, apparently, I’m safe in it.
So, as long as I stay in it and the sharks don’t jump over that wall,
I’ll be OK.
It’s going to be interesting, because I don’t sink.
So I don’t know what to expect, yet.
And apparently, it’s feeding time, in about 3 and a half minutes.
So they want me to run up there right now and jump in.
How does that sound?
And when we first heard that they’re going to throw me in there with the sharks, I was
originally thinking, like, there was going to be a shark cage off a boat in the middle
of the Pacific Ocean.
It was a little bit different, but it was cool at the same time, so I had this tank
within a tank, and the water wasn’t freezing, but it wasn’t warm either.
And it was just cool to come face to face with these hammerhead sharks and, I mean,
they were much bigger than me, and I’m sure I’d make a nice big snack for any of them.
That was an awesome experience; I’ve never had anything like that before.
In fact, looking through the glass, you know, you don’t feel like you’re in a glass
tank.
You feel like you’re there swimming with the sharks; it’s a really cool experience.
You know, when I started swimming at age 6, it was because my dad really encouraged me
to try something new.
You know, you don’t know what you can achieve until you try it.
And I think fear stops a lot of people from trying new things, and there’s just a lot
of joy in enjoying life.
But I love freedom, freedom in water.
And it was a great experience.
Hi.
Thank you.
Are we OK to film from here?
OK, great.
Thank you.
So we were also thankful to meet the president of Singapore, and go on the government TV
channel, where the president was talking about his charity, which brought some awareness
to people with disabilities, and trying to not really train the culture but bring more
awareness of people with special needs to Singapore, and the importance of making sure
that all Singaporeans have a chance in education, in having the resources necessary to be a
productive member of society.
We had a wonderful meeting, it was sort of more of an interview style for his charity,
of course I mentioned my faith, knowing that faith is the real strength of why I’ve been
transformed from being a life without limbs to a life without limits.
So we talked about inspiring people with special needs all across this nation, and how Singaporeans
can help Singaporeans and be a miracle for someone else.
And it was great.
I was hoping and praying that we would have a chance to pray with the president, a chance
to have a one-on-one with the president.
It did not happen this time, and so we just must believe by faith that what we were called
to do by God here was accomplished.
One of the huge events that we had in Singapore was a 5,000 gorgeous seated auditorium, where
I mean, I actually heard that it was record-breaking ticket sales.
I mean, they reckon we beat J-Lo’s concert.
The tickets for $5,000 people were sold in 48 hours of the openings of the tickets being
sold.
I mean, this had never been done before in Singapore.
It was such a big, big reception.
Just, not just a full room but you could feel the atmosphere.
It was electric, it was a group of 5,000 people who were hungry and hanging on every single
word, and wanting more.
How you doing?
>>Great.
I really enjoyed listening to you; thank you so much for coming.
What’s the next thing you’re aiming for?
Thank you so much for your question.
But the ultimate, ultimate goal for me is to really be the legacy of helping the next
generation understand that the power of change in the world is at their fingertips.
There are a billion people who are hungry today, and our goal in all these things is
not just to motivate people emotionally and mentally, but my goal one day before I die,
and I hope that it will be happening at least in the next 5 years, we want to get together
a platform of 10,000,000 worldwide who give a dollar a month, and 100% goes to feeding
children, medicating the sick, building houses for homeless.
Helping people all around the world.
And then closing off that event were actually those two people with special needs who were
with me, and the president earlier.
We had a Q&A session, and that was pretty cool, as well.
You know, it’s always been my dream to leave a legacy of not just knowledge behind and
not just resources, but I also want to give an opportunity for people, especially with
special needs, one day to actually become speakers.
I just really feel in my heart that in the years to follow from now, I would love to
mentor a group of speakers all around the world as best as I can to equip them, to encourage
them, and try to help them build their own platform in becoming a speaker and communicator
of hope.
So we love everyone, and I just hope that everyone has been encouraged tonight.
Thank you all very very much for your love.
