Ripple

A very inspirational video showing the value and the rewards you reap when you “pay it forward”. The video shows a young boy who asks for a birthday cake from his mother while they were in a bakeshop. Apparently, his mom could not afford it but the boy obviously wants the cake so much. An older man overheard the young boy and the mother. 


This kind man bought the cake and gave it to the boy. The boy was very happy and asks how he could repay, the older man smiled while he was about to leave, he left a note with the words “a simple act of caring creates an endless ripple”. The young boy who received the note remembered the lesson he learned and had one day did the same to a young girl who wanted a cake for her grandpa. He did the same thing, bought the cake and gave the young girl the same note that he received from a stranger before. Later on, the video showed the impact of the message because the young girl’s grandpa was the same man who gave the boy the cake years ago.

This video is a kind reminder to everyone that whatever kindness we show to our fellowman will have a rippling effect to us in another time or in any other form. Kindness begets kindness.

The Power Of Music



An inspirational video of a young school boy with his guitar constantly being ridiculed for his weird music and weird guitar tune.  Just like any other teenager this young man also experienced bullying and peer pressure. One day, the bullies from a school band witnessed how he was working hard for his song to help raise fund for his mother’s cancer treatment. 

The young boy in his school uniform would sing along streets hoping for some people to give him some alms as his way of raising funds for his mom. It is a heartwarming gesture and eventually the bullies came around and helped him by singing and playing musical instruments along with his own music that they once called weird.


This is a very heartwarming video of the power of music.

DON’T GIVE UP!

A powerful inspiring video of Derek Redmond, a runner who is favored to medal in the Olympic 400 meter sprint, showing his brave effort not to give up despite his injury. 


The video shows an actual marathon race showing Derek running fast, determined to win. Unfortunately, 150 meters into the race he felt a searing pain and painfully fell into the ground with a torn hamstring muscle. Anybody could just imagine how painful it was and it was expected that he will just stop his race. After some heavy breath, crutching his painful leg, the strong athlete stood up and limped his way to the race. Despite organizers stopping him, he continued to run limping with his painful leg.

 One man broke through security and helped him. It was his Dad. It was a touching moment. His Dad told him that there was no need for him to do it but Derek insisted and so his Dad told him that they will finish it together. His Dad helped him through the race and before reaching the finish line, he let Derek go and let the athlete finish the race on his own. There was a huge standing ovation from over 65,000 crowd. It was indeed a meaningful show of determination. “When you don’t give up, you cannot fail”.

Gift

This is a short video about a young boy who hates his father. He did not understand why they are poor despite his father working so hard. The young boy did not think that his father was very smart. He often disrespects him and vowed to himself that when he grows up, he won’t be like his father who was poor and unsuccessful. 


His father was a hardworking man and he provides for their needs. The father teaches his child to spare some from his allowance to pay for “taxes” just like what he does. This was the time the young boy asked why they are not rich. The father answered that it is not how much you receive but how much you give that makes you rich because somehow it makes you happy.


The young boy did not understand it. Years passed and the son left his father and worked hard to become a successful professional. Eventually his father died and the son went home still unhappy and ungrateful to his father. Until he discovered that all the hard work that his father does was for sharing to others specially to the less fortunate orphans from a nearby orphanage. The son was into tears when he realized how great and honorable his father was. He now understood the value of giving and all the lessons his father taught him when he was a young boy. 

You Can Be a Hero Too

This is a short video of an ordinary young man who lives alone and works a meager job to have something to eat. He lives in an ordinary apartment with his dog and he goes to work everyday, meeting all kinds of people, animals and even a plant along the way.


From an old lady vendor that he helps carry the food court cart through, a mother beggar with her young girl on her side, a dog that he gives food to, a withering plant that he moved to have access to water, to an old lady neighbor whom he secretly gives a bunch of bananas on her door. All these people he offered what meager resource he have. All that matters to him is the difference he makes to their lives. A mother beggar can now send her child to school, a homeless dog found a home with him, a plant that is now healthy and green, a food cart vendor that he happily helps and is now sharing to him some food and a happy old lady from next door that he received a hug from.

We are all enjoined to love and be an everyday hero for others. Not for anything but for the mere happiness that it brings to us.
