喬什?森德奎斯特兒時(shí)因?yàn)榘┌Y被截掉了左腿，但是身體殘疾的他不改樂(lè)觀性格，用機(jī)智幽默活出了自己的精彩人生。如今，他不僅成為一名勵(lì)志演說(shuō)家，還因?yàn)槊磕耆f(wàn)圣節(jié)驚艷眾人的“獨(dú)腿cos”成了社交媒體紅人。

Josh Sundquist was diagnosed with cancer when he was nine years old, and was told he had a 50% chance of surviving. He lost his left leg, despite chemotherapy, but by thirteen he was cancer-free, and by sixteen, he was ski-racing. Now, Sundquist is a motivational speaker that's become famous on social media for his clever, amputation-incorporating Halloween costumes.
喬什?森德奎斯特九歲時(shí)被診斷出癌癥，并得知自己只有50%的幸存希望。盡管接受了化療，他還是失去了自己的左腿，但13歲時(shí)，森德奎斯特的癌癥痊愈了。16歲時(shí)他開(kāi)始滑雪。森德奎斯特如今成了一名勵(lì)志演說(shuō)家，他因利用獨(dú)腿打造機(jī)智的萬(wàn)圣節(jié)裝扮，而在社交媒體走紅。

"I've always dealt with the social discomfort of my disability by having a sense of humor," Sundquist explains. "But now I'm more comfortable with who I am and what I look like, and I guess with these Halloween costumes you could even say that I celebrate what makes me different. Which may be either weird or refreshing, depending on your perspective." He explains the inspiration for his costumes below:
森德奎斯特解釋說(shuō)，“我經(jīng)常會(huì)用一種幽默的方式來(lái)對(duì)待身體殘疾帶來(lái)的社交不適感。但現(xiàn)在我對(duì)自己的身份和樣子更自在了，我想你甚至可以說(shuō)，我用這些萬(wàn)圣節(jié)服裝來(lái)展示自己的與眾不同。這也許會(huì)讓人覺(jué)得怪異或者新鮮，一切決于你怎么看。”他解釋了以下服裝的靈感來(lái)源于：

"If my career as a motivational speaker doesn't work out, I could probably get a job at IHOP."
“萬(wàn)一我的勵(lì)志演說(shuō)家事業(yè)發(fā)展不順，我也許能在IHOP找到一份工作。”
