This kid is INSANE. She is an academic genius, she was on Broadway when she was 10, and here she is doing a TED talk. Talk about well-rounded!
Broadway is hardly a definition of genius.
And she plays the piano. She’s the Asian kid that I could only wish I could have been. Lol!
Syep?

A STORY OF HOPE
A long time ago, there was an Inuit family high up in the
Arctic. It was a terrible year for hunting, and for months the
weather was extremely cold. There were very few animals to
hunt in the area, and so the family decided they would have to
travel south in search of better hunting grounds. When they
started their journey south, the walk became long and hard, and
they had very little food to eat. Their grandmother was very old
and slowing them down. It was a tradition in those days to
leave the old folks behind in hopes that the rest of the family
might survive. So they said their goodbyes and left her standing
alone on the ice. Later that day, a polar bear saw her and started
to hunt her down, but she was too slow to escape. As the polar
bear got close to her, she took off her big fur mitt and put it on
the end of her narwhal walking stick. She then stood there very
still and quiet, making no sound or movement. As the polar
bear got within feet of her, it opened its mouth to bite her, and
at that very moment, she shoved the mitten down the polar
bear’s throat choking him. It wasn’t able to breathe, and it died.
She walked all day and through the night and was able to catch
up with her family, and she told them what had happened.
They went back to the polar bear, and it gave them enough food
to survive until the spring. So you see, there is always hope,
even in the very last moments of certain death, there is always a
chance things can get better. There is always hope because there
is always God.
... There is a book written by Tony Tymstra titled: What is possible? What is impossible? And What is probable? Proof that God exits. Here is a small chapter you might find interesting....the book is on amazon
Nice
He had me willing to buy it until he mentioned god. I'll have to get over my peeving before I do.
This is why working on yourself which changes the internal and thus, external is so much. Balance in the middle.
what this gotta do with project based learning

YES JUNAH I LOVE YOU
Hope Surely means do best amid all chaos. Lot of good around us in world have been created by hopeful people only.
Cynicism may sound logical at times but surely will not create any good for today's or future world.

Dose anyone remember her from annie?
Yes
I’ll save you this speech with the truth
Hope is a delusion and the people who have it are more dangerous than terrorists
Hope can drive someone insane and it has no use in life other then to enhance your pain when life inevitably throws the worst it has to offer at you
Put simply according to the myth
Hope was the last thing to come out of Pandora’s box
Saving the worst for last imo
you are very wrong but that's just my opinion

Let me tell you a story
Years ago I had probably the sweetest dog you can possibly imagine
One day he started peeing in the house so we took him to the vet
After spending a whole day there they decided to keep him for a couple days
I was hoping he would be ok but long story short a couple days later I woke up to have my parents tell me he had died overnight
Like I mentioned I was hoping he would be ok and he was just sick with something
The pain I felt that day was so unbearable that I lost all hope
Which was probably the most liberating feeling I had ever had
@@goldenretriever6440 i'm sorry to hear that honestly, but i think hope is a beautiful thing to have. I little bit of hope, little bit of faith can change the course of things, like i said just my opinion. All the best too you and for you!
"Hope is as hollow as fear" -Loa Tsu
Hope is illogical and irrational.
