so much respect for this guy; he's more than just a handsome face :-)
I have always had the hugest crush on this guy .... So seeing him going through that, I know now that I'm not the only one that felt like that
'What is life but for the craziest adventures?'
"run, run, run
I really love the way he speaks. I can really visualise and feel what he says. Very inspirational!!
It is a dark dark world, sometimes you fell that way. I did too fell that way but in the midst of the most darkness, I saw a light and I went to it and that light was music and art. Now a I'm the most positive person in my class, and I am super creative (:. Now all I think is positive thoughts, try to think positive sometimes so that you will be happy. Try it : )
Bless you Ben. You are doing well. Youth will want to hear you more.
Just found Ben Kheng. Loving every aspect of his beauty so far. He has a lot to say to many generations, not just youth. There is a lot more to come for this guy. Can't wait.
I watched this video 3 years ago and never understood his messages. Now i know what he meant "walk with your mind, run with you heart". Thanks ben.
I can see your heart. We're the same. My mom also left me when I was 12 due to cancer. She also did a good job of hiding it. Haha. What a coincidence. You know what, I play the piano too but I'm scared of singing. I'd rather you sing. Your voice is like a gentle tap on my shoulder. It's really nice. However you look at your self, I can see a good man better than other people I know. Continue to be the person you were meant to be. =)
Thank you!!! You help me understand myself better. Thank you for your courage.
I really enjoyed this. Benjamin Kheng is such an inspiration especially for youngsters who are wavering on their journey through life. Walk with your mind; and when you find it run with your heart.
thanks for sharing this on instag, ben. you're an amazing individual and i hope you'll be able to continue to inspire the people around you whether or not you've met them in person. x
fantastic advice and sign off at the end. A great and brave sharing from Ben.

Wow! I just stumble in one of his videos on KZread then I saw this... He's amazing for sharing his experience and empowering other youth, I wish I can do that too at TedxYouth someday. And he have synesthesia, I read a book about it last 3 weeks, that's cool which means one of his parents has synesthesia too cos its hereditary.
