@ika,

Thank you for your comment. I absolutely agree with you. That sad story just proves the idea of this video.

Do you remember how the speaker asked whether we could imagine the parents of William Shakespeare telling him to drop the pencil? =)

@Mimi,

I have already watched the video from the first link you posted. It's so amazing! I shared it on my Facebook wall. Thank you for the links. I will look over others later, but no doubt I will.
