Can I kindly ask all the men in the room to close their eyes for the next 10 seconds? And as you do so, kindly look back to the last time you felt the most like a man. Think even deeper. When was the last time you felt the most masculine? Now open. For most of us, the last time we felt the most like a man was perhaps when we sorted the house rent without any contribution from the female gender. Aha, I see someone there. For some others, it's the last time you gave mommy money and tried to prove that you are ...

There is this idea that if you can't sprint, run. And if you can't run, walk. And if you cannot walk, at least crawl.And I really like that saying. It's about moving forward. It's powerful and it is strong.But there's one thing I don't perfectly like about it. It's a direction because it's kind of aiming downwards. So I thought, can we flip it upside down.If you can't walk, try flying. I'd like to take you on a journey through my life to explore this very idea a little more. And I'd like to do so literally ...

Leaders are not born. They are made in moments. And these moments, I would say, are the tipping points.It's the moment you raise your hand in class when your heart is racing. It's the choice to speak up when no one else will. It's when you say, "I'll take responsibility." But leadership isn't simply about courage.It's also about empathy and character. A leader is the one that looks to make sure no one else gets left behind. They don't seek credit.They're the ones that notice when someone else is struggling ...

It was the 31st of December, 2020. Um, I was sat in my parents' living room, reliant on them to support my education abroad at university. And, um, all of my friends were out partying, obviously, New Year's Eve.And I was just sat there having failed about three businesses that I was trying to build, three businesses during university, and I had no real plan for how I was going to build this billion-dollar company. Um, but all I knew was that I was put on this planet to build something. Uh, so it wasn't abou ...

They call it renaissance or rebirth or re awakening. A moment when the ashes of yesterday tremble and from their dust to rise again is the heartbeat of the silence. The light after the longest night.This is a time when forgotten dreams were what it means to pray again. So pray to be different. Strike your canvas with a vicious brush.Paint your face into colors. Let courage your fingertips because my guy and don't be lying. The only way to shine bright is to stand right.Risk takers are the real change makers ...

[music] [music] Next up, Hafi Zahi Ali Malano from 8 Madina [music] [applause] in the middle of the ocean. At night, when the world seems to be endless, there's no land, there's no stars to be seen, there is no voices to be heard, only water and darkness everywhere. Imagine yourself, you were a sailor at that moment.You would feel hopeless. You would feel emptiness as if there's nothing to be reached out for. There's only an endless ocean staring at your soul.But then in the distance, a light appears throug ...

I used to think I was just a lucky child. Good things in my life seem to come by themselves, only by chance. Just luck. Have you ever felt the same? Please raise your hand if you do. And when things go wrong, do you think it's just bad luck or do you blame yourself? If you blame yourself, please raise your hand. Thank you. Many people see good things as luck but blame themselves when things go wrong. Interesting, isn't it? And that was me too. Until I realized something important. I wasn't giving myself cre ...
