She sounds programmed - woke.
Such a good conlusion: big change it happens becasuse of cumulative moments every single day that masquerades as everyday decisions despite all the oods you get up and hit a dirt road just to get the job done. You dont change life by waiting proper moment but when you realize that opputinuties for greatness that dont always come across as great. Stop wearing what other people say and instead tell yourself EVERY DAMN DAY: I CAN - I AM - I WILL.!
What a great talk! She's so cute! And eloquent 👏 a very important message 💞
I want to cry. You are a strong, smart and very beautiful woman. Thank you for sharing x

Great talk!!
Thankyou so much this video has benefitted me a lot.
Yes , I can I am I will
Thank You...❤
I love your can do spirit and your ability to face your fears. You go girl.
it also depends on the country ,civil society and the rule of law . and depending on the problem - on gender... in some places it’s easier for men, and in other places it’s harder. there are things that not only the majority of society does not accept, but also the governments of countries, especially in the CIS sector, where authoritarian regimes have remained in one form or another also don't forget about the "survivor's mistake ".
You are a real winner who defeated hatred.
The opportunities for greatness don't always come great. You might have to step on thorns, swim against a strong current, expose yourself for hate and brutal verbal attacks while creating these opportunities.
You are the BEST ❤

Respectfully, if she spends the entire conversation talking about not caring from others opinions, why she overcome that when she wins Mss universe? (This is an opinion too, the only thing is that she likes this opinion). The point would be to be happy regardless she wins or not

so, this is my opinion. I think being in her win is her plus point and not the exact point she tries to inform. What was she tryna to say is, that when you do start not intention about anyone's hate or depressing opinion, you will win. That's the point. Everything, everyone, culture, and environment always tryna put you down to hide the dream, but when you believe, realize it or not, you're gonna win anyway, not only by Miss Universe but in your own daily life. Respectfully, this is what i got by watching this.
Nice
Cakep banget
I have struggled listening when I listen to TEDX . please any advice?

Good
I can I am i will
girl is beautiful by the way
Sometimes I am so astonished at how people differentiate based on skin. I am over 60 and it just never was a thing where I grew up. My Caucasian family was somewhat intermingled with Indigenous people, and the Hindus and Sikhs in the area were sawmill owners and farmers same as us -I remember going to an Indian feast or festival when I was maybe 5 as my father was a mill owner as well. I remember when dad was in hospital the (east) Indian nurses all knew him. What has happened to the world?? There is more division now than when I was little.
👏👏👏

Your channel is good. We like it but we prefer shorter videos as people don’t have much time for longer videos. Thankyou.
