FINDING AWE IN LIFE | Hafid Ghori | TEDxYouth@TWSDubai


life is simply amazing everything in
nature amazes me the beautiful blue
skies the mountain peaks the Twitter of
birds the waterfalls even the soft
desert sand underneath my weary feet wow
just amazing our world is a beautiful
place 11 we have been blessed with so
many amazing things just stop and look
around because when you do you find out
that everything around you is amazing
but that question always comes in
everyone’s mind do you really care and
appreciate for what we have been blessed
with I guess not every day I see my dad
reading the newspaper and the first
thing I see is you the war killing or
suicide what all of these have people
gone mad as a child it just bothers me
to see all this hatred and bitterness
why can’t people just find the true love
and compassion for each other why can’t
we just want a full stalk to this right
don’t you think this planet needs more
love care and compassion let me share
with you an incident I watched some time
back on YouTube so there’s this baby
elephant just a calf who stuck in this
deep pit the mother elephant on the
other hand was desperately trying to
pull out the calf seeing her struggle
heard of other elephants joined to save
the calf together they made it it was a
long struggle but didn’t give up the
love and compassion of the mother
elephant and the care and unity of the
herd of elephants Wow
just amazing this incident made me think
that there is only someone not only from
your family but there will be someone
there to help you you’re never alone and
then here’s another everyday problem
we are all well aware of this term
Orangery look at me I’m 11 years old and
I’m 7th grade will you believe that
well more suin I’ve been bullied over
the years from my small size although I
do have a few advantages like hiding in
class I must admit I do get caught
sometimes but the bullying resists it
bother me and believe me it was quite
frustrating
he wasn’t wandering by now
what does bullying go do with amazement
let me explain I was what he called a
shy quiet timid person I would usually
sit in the corner of the class and hide
myself because I thought everything I do
would be judge of something bad but it
wasn’t me who’s doing all the bad things
I just felt that way because I listened
to others one day each of us had to give
a speech in my class I didn’t prepare or
practice my speech so I was left there
to stand blank the streak of nervousness
and fear went through my wins I first
saw my classmates frowning I didn’t know
what to do and stood there until my
teacher would allow me to leave one week
went by and I was the same shy person my
teacher was using are the names of a
person X Ron now you probably thinking
that I pass the next round and get
burned burn right well I didn’t but the
next year was different this time
the teacher saw something amazing in me
it was the first time I felt appreciated
and value after many auditions a month
sheets the big stage the teachers faith
and confidence in me amazed me because
way down beneath the shy timid surface
she saw student with potential
Wow
just amazing an experience like this
maybe think about my place in this
amazing life every one of you out there
in this world is unique you have your
own strengths your own beauty everyone’s
beautiful
so one sit there saying I’m ugly sound
pity or I’m handsome don’t care about
give what people say now who you are
what you’re where you’re sure love and
kindness to each other that’s what
be grateful that you’re able to
experience amazement of life Stephen
Hawking son we have this one life to
