TEDxUbud - Tah Riq Amawi - Taking a Leap: From Desktop to Rooftop

Recorded at TEDxUbud on May 6th, 2011, at Gaya Fusion.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

@Fwibos hey, its Tah Riq. Reading your response man I had to reach out. Sorry it's 2 months late. I don't claim to have grown up in your shoes or had your parents or pressures. I spent that time playing guitar after school because I didn't have many friends then. Your challenges were greater than mine for sure.Everyone starts somewhere, start now. Otherwise in 10 years you'll blame where you're at on a childhood you left long ago. The tomatoes are in your head, not around you. Tah Riq

Hey all. It's me Tah Riq. I wish this talk was on my own channel so then I could respond to you guys. I've had so much great feedback after this talk and sharing it has been one of the defining moments of my life. Some of you have reached out and emailed me in addition to posting on here. Its never too late to start again, or pick up where you left off. The more you embody the success you wish to have the more your environment begins to shift to make that your reality. Much love to all, Tah Riq

Been doing Parkour for around 2 years now. I rarely do it now 'cause I felt like I wasn't good enough and that I wasn't making any progress.

Hearing this guy just changed that, I feel the need to experience parkour again, I feel like running and jumping everywhere, and achieving things I never though I could ever do...

[DarkLink1000000]

I just feel motivated to play drums after seeing this and that I can get good at it one day.

Thanks a lot from a swedish, 17 years old drummer!
