a lot softer made that noise I’m a

stand-up comedian so this is a very new

kind of thing for me to do a talk I’m

not going to start the talk right now

i’m gonna give up 20 seconds before the

18 minutes timeline i have a problem in

the eye Devin that kind of job

productive out a global day which killed

someone usually I would have memorized

this worked but I’ve been taking

medication that’s made my short-term

memory go there so wish mascara then

we’ll him in a confit the 01 Mara

English TED talk from Canadian

university so we’re in irmo woody marbot

hit the day that I from Canada media

university- our goodbyes Custer’s a

google translate we’re mostly Omiya

rehtaeh motor sort of nanny after London

facade our Finnish activist Anna

about what happened at the end of the

bargain HD movie prob immunity would you

have to catch it okay so ladies and

gentlemen with your kind permission I

will step here in the red carpet okay go

the magic behind Hollywood has just been

destroyed with little red carpet you

st. Albans deafness or what we didn’t

know or better known as

I was five years old my father load is

the old reel-to-reel player with

Beethoven’s Symphony number five faith

in C minor to dramatically no doubt some

argue this piece of what Harold it is

going deaf other thing is the dawning of

his life that he was not going to live

much longer he was going to be dying

quite soon I like to think he was having

reflective moments you know he’s paying

pennsaid looking at the back of his life

I think because of his temper Beethoven

also drank a lot

my father felt that he will somehow the

reincarnated spirit of a blow

truth was my dad loved all of

Beethoven’s work to the point he felt

his hearing the same old farts work so

basically things open was on my dad’s

side of the family and Mozart was on my

mother’s side of the family spiritually

speaking I was eight years old when my

clothes took me to see neelesh Foreman’s

Amadeus and if any of you have not seen

this movie definitely in you along the

journey like whether I was the first out

of my ball and I could listen to it in

any kind of condition whether i was

writing homework coursework projects

especially reading if i was sleeping

eating dreaming leaving achieving

existing

there were lost in my life whenever I

heard the soundtrack various times but

the soundtrack didn’t make my life very

much easier to cope

and you know what if there’s one piece

of advice I can give all of you is to

watch on the dais with your family it’s

not to not see your parents will not get

mad it’s not awkward in any way awkward

like when watching TV sai Kwong with

your mother and there’s a sex scene on

the screen watch that film with your

family the glove in your heart for music

as I did it has a film on watch Navy

over a hundred times a day even

sometimes three times a month it’s that

good at film if we take our knowledge of

Beethoven’s deafness it has been mostly

to see that he was deaf from being stuck

by this father Beethoven concierge what

is the problem then you don’t speak

German that’s why I love you now Benton

was born in the birth of forensic

science

well that was fun basically he stated in

his will that his body would have an

basically after the portland for

post-mortem figure out why he was death

instead of who can offer but he would

know what that was gonna happen shortly

after writing is when he was caught in a

storm and ammonia where you is going to

be dying Tyson he cut the lock of his

hair which put in an air tight bubble

and then placed in an airtight glass

when we all talk to the N and they

reached the skull they’re done gonna go

on I told you I am google translate when

I reach the skull where the eardrums

should have been they reached and there

was no space was filled out in the peach

but a hot didn’t phone gamma there you

hire go ahead with and close it was

hollowed out you know are you open back

to his hair autograph David he gave up

his servants token of gratitude but let

the heady and Mindy away history send a

lock of beethoven’s hair from Germany

Finland finally in

take in Finland we’re finished doctor

was describing tranquilizers and a baby

sleep you have to take this i’m sorry

they’re nazis in the streets and yours

of heroes undesirable then it made its

way to subjects some people say reached

8500 some say 10,000 sterling and heat

in a mustache and sharmeen had an erotic

big golden boy was after testing the

hair of the world’s largest x-ray

machine it was highly disturbed that he

was hiding one element that can be

lethal in small doses let the thought of

it was awesome let’s see during the 18th

century Puritans in Germany they used to

put left in wine and also basically the

sauna he liked to what we say in English

sauna sauna sauna in Arizona sound like

to spend a lot of time in in that air of

all the pipes of that time were made out

of lead so let wine let water that sauna

if that was radioactive he would have

been glowing like Las Vegas that’s what

i was going to remember all this

which brings us the chapter two

appearances can be deceiving or what we

display in 2001 all his 2001 I was

sitting in my dentist’s chair where I

little discovery was made that I had

cancer and where a wall places in my

head specifically in my job and could

you turn up the volume there we go

I had used to smoke anywhere from one to

three packets that day 1993 2001 and it

took its toll heavy smoking so disco

dancer and it was scary but it was also

a great moment where I got to live my

life to the fullest

I did however find a cure for cancer

that you’ve all heard that you’re on

their foods that fight cancer like leafy

greens broccoli fruits to avoid meats

and luncheon that’s injected with

nitrates and steroids there’s also

another two things we often overlook

which is the belief that you’re going to

live and survive

in the second which is more

controversial innova cannabis oil

marijuana

[Music]

a leafy green plant that has untold

riches of remedies that can help with

such diseases as multiple sclerosis

Parkinson’s

and stimulate the appetite of eight

stations help counteract the nausea

chemotherapy as well as your pencil

after doing three years of medicine that

all right

I told you there were two floors at that

point the cure was controversial yes but

is it not more controversy around

medicine that causes more cancerous

tumors to grow while natural remedies

are ignored for the big pharmaceutical

drugs that make 3.5 trillion dollars a

being homeless yeah home while I

roehampton university eight months and

while trying to finish a degree dark

thoughts of suicide threats into my head

hiding any optimism this encountered in

death family is a blessing toilet

cleaner what amazes me about classical

music certain pieces of music to chef my

mood triggering in the sky

love of God

[Music]

strong time Louis and lower not kill

[Music]

that’s lower that’s kill when you have a

headache when you have a headache when

you have a headache your prescribe

aspirin when you have a cold or a flu

you’re giving Holden flu medicine while

you prescribe someone has large 8 and

sorrow well step one is talk with a

to classical music as we are doing right

now yes it’s rather joining which now

brings us into the loop having the

ripple effect on to your inner self

which will start the healing process now

we come to chapter three or better known

as the internet neutral google versus

stay Google what I was speaking with a

friend about this TED talk I came up

with an expression Moodle Google when

you’re at a workplace in your google

searches are like china why they give

you seven million pages but you only end

up to see three no no one ever hear been

to China I guess not oh it is like that

in China you have it also like you’re

going to google and they’ll say seven

million pages but you’re only a lot to

see like three of those pages imagine

what about the other six million and

my husband will have two more and I can

start this talk ripples of the internet

have a profound effect on a small mazes

me now when you think of 24 eventually

it ends up as a me I remember that time

when incurred whom an Dublin honey

conference were sitting in a cafe at an

internet cafe and as important was

checking her Twitter account she

remarked if it’s on the internet it must

be true and you’ve all heard that once

it’s on the internet it’s there forever

well how true is social media and how we

see ourselves for example with what we

post we’ve all been there whether we’re

mad sad plano frustrated we post or do a

little rounds we express anger but it’s

dead it stays there forever never going

even when you delete it which brings us

to chapter 4 Family Support is a queue

the following code was told to me when I

was at the lowest point in my life I may

be flat at the bottom but they retired

at the positive memories and flood my

mind and the darkest periods of my life

even though the stars were never visible

I can feel the stars and likewise the

love of my family is brighter than the

Sun a source of inspiration that helps

us keep us all going you know what we

say in Arabic and did not love the

daughter of the moment what they say in

German zeitgeist that realization of

awareness of me now that where we are is

the love of family can travel across

oceans I love this I know it sounds

cliche but it’s true if you are lucky

enough to have someone in your family

that loves you you cannot leave them

unless they want to kill you and that’s

a different dog which I can’t give I

wish though I wish I could share all the

music that my family gave me growing up

their influence with love love of music

over the years I would not have been

able to survive so many losses

it wasn’t for the power of classical

music and love and patience to learn the

story behind each piece each composer

who was insane who loved his brother’s

wife who are gambling and drinking

problems yet was by far a genius his

music to touch humans animals as the

moon certain about such music was sent

to help us as family helps us to

understand the world and everything in

it that is right that is wrong why

there’s hurt and of course happiness

birthday

laughter and memories the final days

like we make us smile sleep

our family are always there for us x

[Music]

love sacrifice to very near respect love

and revere what they are brought into

our fabric this makes our identity and

Clete this is family love and not the

wrong kind of love I don’t that higley

knows the sack the type eular can make

or break you depending on how determined

you are to not let it right here nothing

equals a hug from a parent that quotes

from my mother which now brings us to

chapter 5 friends your chosen family or

better known life is not a TV show or

isn’t accidental tests are very long

painful ordeal of our tolerance but

after our bod at heckman minute of

effort which translates we tolerate each

other by hook or by crook until the

moral fiber indicates an alarming

indicate a logging decision in other

words good riddance to bad garbage the

good friends that we grew up with

remind me of the pine trees I know that

I mean it’s smell is beautiful the

science is beautiful stands in all

weather conditions and above all the nut

it yields if you are the most delicious

expensive and dear hard to get treats

hence if we’re lucky to hold on those

who have come along the way and proved

to be robust and number two shuttle amok

I think I said that wrong my mother told

me I have to practice that I know it

probably came up to my true brother from

another mother the next edema I was

looking me like I just said the wrong

swear word I’m going to tell my mother

this is what happened like I told you

it’s one more push hola hi the faster

than lightning times we live in

unfortunately is leaving its print on us

individually

ya lo and behold name of fate name a

fortune from above we are privileged

thank you a very lucky you the friends

we don’t get the seats Lauren are the

ones been carrying in our hearts and

minds our thoughts and prayers sound

like an American president at rings

after a hard to my thoughts and prayers

go to those families true friends are

the medicine of life and if i can put

Charles Dickens there are dark shadows

on the up but its lights are stronger in

the contrast chapter 6 dark times or

better known as how laughter stop my

insanity we would never think that a day

such as for example oh I don’t know the

day my father passed away that I would

have a moment of standard material

moment not the dying part machine

carbine merida after the funeral outside

met my father’s cousin older cousin and

his name is hassan hashish we all know

the dialogue went more or less like this

say this is your cousin cousin ashish

you’re handsome ashish I thought you

were the guy that used to sort my father

out with hashish back in the day and he

could put some photo for us and I like

say he’s a Supreme Court judge such

moments like that always happens as a

comedian I’m always carry my notebook

because let’s be fair you never know

when you’re gonna have a moment like

that positive in the neck

[Music]

and sometimes I go Hannah make people

laugh with the scenarios of that were

mostly answer yes or no needles were

essentially is an Eastern Bloc

and looking at life as a festival of

great moments interrupted by the

japanese japan has earthquakes typhoons

bees the size of your fist radioactive

areas like yet they smile through it all

this is their Foreman as they say she

got her gun that name caught him up Nick

which means what are you gonna do right

life is like a battery you have to take

positive negative to make it work that’s

what is that positive which brings us to

chapter 7 the final stage of the soul

[Music]

signs are all around us thanks words of

JRR size are all around us know oh yes

the music what why why this size are all

around us taking the United States

time for our baby’s birth but they are

token said hold on the motor of our ball

because we are not involved your loss

we’re back to where we are

the drunkies the same around the world

the world

is the same love love for my family

helped me be a journey magazines the

lowest point I was lucky to have my

family where our engine to be and if I

could be with them physically I could

match myself there for home send the

energy in the cosmos that we are not

alone there is always someone to go see

that is thinking about you whenever I

was lost I can see the path I knew that

there was able to laugh because when you

surround yourself with positive people

you flourish you succeed like dropping

the pebble and watching the ripples move

outwards around you everything is

affected by your mood when I was a

university I really beautiful post there

seems to have resulted in our life is

the series of natural and spontaneous

changes go resistor that only creates

saw that reality in reality the things

grow naturally home

in whatever way they like because what I

heard at university with the history

series of events Dobson said it better I

do believe that there is more poetry and

overwhelming wave of motion we look back

at like I’m saying everything that

happened good at that given where I am

at this moment kaneko peugeot sum I

think therefore I asked

[Music]

take off many of interpreters over the

years Tom don’t understand it ski

himself at the end of the search for the

meaning to life others don’t understand

that basically researched his wife or a

state that could not be doubted he found

that he could not doubt that he himself

existed as use one doing the dog in the

first place I don’t think I exist know

what I do I’d like to think a lot

because I know I this and I do overstate

everything sometimes as we contacts

don’t be like there are others who think

about themselves in this moment let

alone up two days like everything in

life in the two-way streets of the

events and how they need it where you’re

but no one is only worth you don’t think

you are

a difference a while cattle never boils

the English proverb and hours old is

little wizard growing up you know it’s

fiction times I snowing or via a radius

cover and one two three four that is a

predetermined possible jackpot but

stretch lace that my time is a sword you

don’t use it to top times out in the top

a wasp kanika on the other hand i

watched tabular rifle when you’re making

your precious darkest upbeat that you’ll

have to watch this morning mini tetanus

the character but with time secrets and

stirring it and waiting for that perfect

circles you can get to wish the face on

that third cup of coffee in that wisdom

we learn the time really did it to

secret change all these maps that take

you through your brain that is your life

we breathe please we sleep we drink we

live it’s called living but being alive

isn’t a whole different aspect and

stealing tasting

very existence of each moment of your

life in essence being alive is the best

journey we ever take in your life I took

living for granted it was Beethoven

Mozart my heritage which is my friend

close the brandy siblings along with

laughter that made me feel alive my name
