No matter how hard you try, no matter how much ...

Right now I can't see you. Everything around me is dark. This is how my father sees the world today.He has about 5% vision left in just one eye. Close to nothing really. But he wasn't always like this.This is him back in the day. Active, hardworking, my first swimming coach and my biggest cheerleader. Over the years, high eye pressure damaged his optic nerve and his eyesight faded away slowly.The hand that used to hold mine and taught me how to walk now needs my hand to walk. You see, no matter how grown up ...

L'impegno? Non basta! Commitment? Not enough! | Ilaria Pigazzini | TEDxLakeComo
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-11 16:35
Lo sapete che i corridori più veloci della storia avevano il vento a favore quando hanno battuto i record mondiali. E vi dirò di più, chi diventa astronauta lo fa al 95% per competenza, ma il restante 5% è per un colpo di fortuna. Ma che cos'è la fortuna.Voglio darvi una mia opinione. Fortuna è non avere controllo. Fortuna è non poter decidere chi siamo, dove e in che famiglia nasciamo.Pensateci, se Cristiano Ronaldo fosse nato ai tempi del Rinascimento, forse la sua abilità con il pallone non ci avrebbe st ...

When I was a toddler, I'd always thought the key to success is education. But then I got to realize is much more than education. Great Nigerian students. >> Great Nigerian students.>> A voice once roared in my heart. And our response was like an echo in the thunder space. The side an unol egg is being cracked and ashed much more than expectations.But it left us in what is to be betted in what is to be delivered. We are much more than a student but a storm information a seed. We dominate a leader, an ambassa ...
