    Sometimes people see something in us that we can't see in ourselves, however the point is that we need to make a move, take the very first step. It's the first step of moving forward that may actually be the most difficult, letting go of what's holding us back. Else, they really don’t know what it is. 👦

I have noticed that you really love speaking. Your way of delivering your words can be seen with the emotion you have given to the audience. All the words you have chosen are only suitable to entertain the viewers, not to mention that with your skills you have inspired many students, especially those who are in the field of English teaching. Keep up the good work, sir, and I hope you will inspire many students in the future. Your video is very much recommended. God bless you, and live well!

    I used to be terrified of public speaking before. Then I went to college and as part of the curriculum, I had to speak and make presentations in front of a large class of fellow students and professors. The first few minutes were tense, I felt my hands trembling holding the microphone, my legs feeling a little unsteady, my heart thumping out of my chest. However, in a few minutes, all that was gone and I had the audience with me. That's when I knew I loved this.

      Same. I took theater arts for a semester in college, (attended the speech club in college) and finally now make totally raw and impromptu podcasts without any jump cuts or edits.
      Although I will not even scratch the surface to this guy's ability I realize that with practice anything is possible. I am very self-conscious about my voice and accent and even talking fast and mumbling.... but all these tweaks made me more confident.

      Hello
      Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial.
      On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people.
      While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there.
      I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes.
      I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?

We are all unique in different ways, which is really inspirational. One of my favorite portions of his speech was when he stated, "My fellow flowers," as if to say that we are all flowers with various fragrances.

But in any case, your life is YOUR responsibility and you yourself need to find a way out of the mess life at times put you in. Let's not wait for any angel to sort things out for you. Be your own angel. Thanks for reading. Hope you have a good life.

Not only because of his personality you see, but also of his ability to listen to and ability to talk and advice someone through his vision. Several times I had lunch with him and we shared our stories . He is an AMAZING HUMAN BEING. I am fortunate to say that he is a friend of mine.

    This video is very profound, illustrating the importance of family and their roles in life. The transformation of a fearless person due to their mother is a significant testament. The father in the video is an idol; instead of just supporting him unconditionally, he guides him on the right path. The core message of the video is that it’s never too late to change your life. If you don’t take action now, it may become even harder later. However, the key is to keep moving forward, relying on those who genuinely guide you, even if they aren’t your closest friends.
