But luck was on her side when she was adopted and had access to a piano.

Imagine that she plays the piano without any piano lessons, and only after hearing a song ONCE!

PASSION AND TALENT ARE A MAGICAL COMBINATION.

I am lucky for being who I am, and you should be also!

And this is not enough!

I believe that no matter how we are, no matter who we are…we have the duty to follow our dreams, our passions…in order to be alive.

Don’t get me wrong! Everything that your heart booms for is a passion, even though it’s not recorded into the society dogmas or conventional status.

I have a friend and he is passionate about garbage! Yup…GARBAGE! The things we throw away! Everybody told him he is crazy…me too sometimes, but I admired him for the sparkles in his eyes! Now he works for European Union, developing a new method of recycling garbage in order to have a cleaner planet.

No matter how unbelievable your passion might seem…just go for it!

What do you have to loose?

Admire these 2 young people!

How many doctors told him that he could never walk normally again!

How many people pitted her and labeled her as  useless?

And look at the magic of their dance…the beauty hidden in every move.

They are not perfect!

But they are following their passion!

What about you?

I discovered pictures, with numbers attached and I was surprised to find a lot of jokes connected to them…

I was sad to see that people stop and  look at pictures, check the numbers and then we say WOW…

And that’s it.

THIS IS NOT IT.

They are human beings, they cry and laugh, they dream and give up, they try again and succeed.

They are like us…only a couple of inches taller

I respect them for their strength, for their power cause I am sure it’s not easy to see everybody’s eyes analyzing you with unsatisfied curiosity.

233 cm (7′9″) high

She is Yao Defen, from China…with passions, fears and dreams…just like all of us.

Indeed she is tallest woman on earth, but is this a reason for celebration?

Instead of looking at her like a magnificent creature of the nature, I choose to see her as a woman like all the others…and in her eyes you can see more pain that happiness…I wish her an easy life…

232cm, 7′ 1/4″ (she died at August 13th 2008)

Sandy Allen had a long life…52 years…

brave and courageous she stood in front of all odds…most of the time in bed and a wheelchair.

218 cm ; 7′ 2″

Zainab Bibi from Pakistan…is dreaming about creating a special place for orphan children and hopes for a life without people’s irony…

206 cm ; 6′9″

Caroline Weltz, from Germany…

I AM HAPPY.

So for all of you, that still have wishes and live your life dreaming

I dedicate this song: DREAMS ON FIRE

You are my waking dream, you’ re all that is real to me
You are the magic in the world I see
You are in the prayer I am saying, you are in my two my names
you are the faith that make me believe
dreams on fire, higher and higher
passion burning, ride on the path,
once for,  forever yours
in me, all your heart,
dreams on fire,
higher and higher

You are my ocean waves, you are my thought each day
you are the laughter from childhood games
You are the sparkle of down, you are where I belong
you make me feel in every songs
dreams on fire, higher and higher, passion is burning
ride on the path, once for forever yours, in me
all your heart,
dreams on fire,
higher and higher

…or you lost them on your path in life?

to become an astronaut,

to travel all around the world, to be a ballerina or a singer,

to be the best doctor in the world

to save dogs on the street?

Yessss, I am sure that somewhere deep inside of you,

YOUR CHILDHOOD DREAMS ARE STILL ALIVE.

And if they are not…some other dreams, more colourfull, more powerfull took their place.

What do you do with them?

Are you waiting for the right time?

Are you waiting for the moment when you will have enough money?

or the right person?

If you feel I talked about you till now…then this movie is A GIFT  FOR YOU:

Randy Pausch teaches you how to fulfill your childhood dreams…just before he died.

But this will not stop him from traveling around Romania.

Not being able to see the world around him doesn’t stop Florin Georgescu

He is eager to explore his world, through all the other senses.

He can smell the flowers and the woods

He can touch his friends, the bicycle, and all that surrounds him

He can feel the life, the desire, the moment.

He can taste the flavor of accomplishing his goal.

He knows he became an example.

What do we choose to see with our eyes?

I know who I am.

Is it hard for you?

Is your life miserable? Would you like to be something else?

Or are u just making excuses?

Everybody fails.

But that’s why they succeed.

Just do it and hold on to your dreams.

Just do what you do with passion

But most of us do this, right? Take pictures in front of different museums and sightseeing locations.

Well, Matt got bored of this, so he decided to start dancing and then creating mix movies with his “artistic dancing  in the world”…

This was the beginning, and  the first movie was posted in 2005

Then he got sponsorship from a chewing Gum company and he started traveling even more.

Then, of course, Matt got bored again, and that’s how the brilliant idea of including other people came to his mind.

Here, he explains how he decided to start dancing with people

Enjoy his last movie posted:

Start enjoying your choices

HIS LEGS!!!!!

I say:

“How many things can we do, in our life? Do we have real reasons to stay away from our dreams?”

He says:

“If you set goals and try your hardest to succeed, then you will… You should take every opportunity that comes your way.”

I say

“Nothing is impossible. And impossible is nothing. JUST GO AND DO SOMETHING.”

He says:

“We all have a capacity for greatness within us; we just have to take all the opportunities -and sometimes the risks- to reach the next step of the journey towards being the very best we can be.”

I say:

“What are we afraid of? What is stopping us? Is it worth it?”

He says:

“The world will only give you what you ask for, nothing more, nothing less.

Be very sure about what you ask!”

I say the same.

Lyrics –

Baz Luhrmann Lyrics – Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.

The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering experience…

I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine.

Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing  bubblegum.

The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing everyday that scares you.

Sing. Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours.

Floss. Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with  yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch. Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year  olds I know still don’t.

Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.

Enjoy your body,
use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own..

Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you  should hold on.

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you  knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you’re 40, it will  look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen…

David wants to discover if  “There is a limit to the human soul?!”

Is there something to stop us achieving what we really want?

He shares with us what he discovered in his really, reallllyyyy long races:

The imaginary in our minds is the one that makes us GIVE UP or KEEP ON RUNNING.

U have a decision to make at any moment of your life.

To close or to open the door to the opportunity?

What will u do?

to leave the problems aside

to enjoy the moment

..and

HAVE SOMEEEE FUNNN!!!!

Born without vision
He never sow light, color, nature, people or fish:

But with an incredible sense of art
And the desire to paint…

He teaches us:
“I see the world with my fingertips
…and I see beauty all around, where other people miss to see it with their eyes”!

Indeed

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!
