Introducing: Today, I Hear You!

On The Occasion of the 3rd Year of the Launch of 7 Minutes Motivation, the purpose is finally stated!

Video Transcript

It all started in 1998, I needed to do a research for one of my courses in college about techniques of communication; I wanted to get to the bottom of how human communication take place… I went to visit a center that works with Hearing Impaired children, to see how you can communicate when you can’t actually talk;

Well, That was the start of an experience that changed my life!

I did my interviews with administrators, teachers and met several kids then and I got so blown away by what I saw that I decided to volunteer in that center, and I acted as a teacher for the Hearing-Impaired children…

I learned the sign language, and unlike what some of you might think, sign-language differ from country to country and even in the same country, and with children, they sometimes develop their own signs, per example my name is Samer… and in Arabic it’s like this… but the children then decided that I was called … (…)

One of the things or let’s say the shocking discoveries that I learned, was about being mute you know when an individual can’t talk.

You see not all of the mute individuals are incapable of talking, but it’s just because they are hearing-impaired, they don’t know how to speak… so they need speech therapy. Even when they can hear a little, and they put this device, that doesn’t automatically solve the problem, but actually they still need therapy to understand what’s happening.

That experience shaped my life, and for Years I carried this cause in my heart, and I was looking for ways that I could help those children and more children across the world; so years passed by, I moved from a college student, to a professional then to a senior executive and an international author & public speaker, so I came up with the idea of donating one of my intellectual properties to that cause. And I called it a WHITE CAUSE.

The idea, is to donate a product that can be sold and all the profits generated can go towards that cause. And at some point this will be self-sustained.

In 2012, I started the 7 Minutes Motivation Podcast, an Arabic motivational podcast of 7 minutes with every episode on weekly basis (every Monday) and later on I created the English Book, and now this book and its profits are donated for the white cause, which is supporting the hearing impaired children.

So Today, I Hear you! It’s a campaign that aims at constructing a fund that would go towards speech therapy sessions for children who can’t afford it.

You see a child, would need 2-3 sessions per week for a period of 1 to 2 years, with the session costing around 20$, so overall that’s a significant amount of money for some families struggling to secure the necessities in a country like Lebanon per example.

So The main objective of Today, I Hear you! Is to gather a fund that would secure 1,000 Speech Therapy sessions and distributed to different centers in Lebanon and those sessions would be offered to children in need, so you can support by donating something like 3$ or 10$ or 25$ and In return you will get  a free copy of my book 7 Minutes Motivation, in either paperback, electronic edition or audio edition.

I encourage you to go to iHearYou.Today check out the website and see how you can contribute and support.

Get Involved and start supporting the Hearing-Impaired Children TODAY!

Cheers,
SC

You are all my reasons…

Professor John Nash: Thank you. I’ve always believed in numbers and the equations and logics that lead to reason.

But after a lifetime of such pursuits, I ask,

“What truly is logic?”

“Who decides reason?”

My quest has taken me through the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional — and back.

And I have made the most important discovery of my career, the most important discovery of my life:

It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reasons can be found.

I’m only here tonight because of you [wife, Alicia].

You are the reason I am.

You are all my reasons.

Thank you.

Episode 5: The little Rasha

02 Monday Jul 2012

Posted by SC in 7MM Episode

This week’s episode is special in a warm way; we illustrated a very strong concept using a short story played by the innocent 7 years old girl (Rasha).

The Little Rasha - Cover

 

 

Once upon a time, there was a young girl called Rasha, innocent she was, the 7 years old was filled with passion to discover the world and a curiosity to live a fantasy many adults have forgotten.

The Lesson at School that day was about the World of the Seas, everything around the sea… The Types of creatures that lives in the sea, the plants, the sands, the rocks… everything!

Rasha was listening to her teacher and having a vivid day-dream about the sea, enjoying every single word coming out at class.

When school was over, Rasha’s Father arrived to pick her up.

Rasha: Daddy, can we please go to the beach?
Rasha’s Father: You mean go Swim?

Rasha: No, we took a lesson today with this regard, I just want to go to see it… Please daddy, please please pleaaaasssseeeee….

Rasha’s Father: Ok.. we’ll pass for few minutes! 

Rasha arrived to the beach, and started running while drawing circles around her, she was enjoying the sounds, the breeze and the smell of everything around her.

Rasha then Stood in surprise, and she saw a large number of small Fish on the beach… Apparently those were carried away from the sea by a big wave… She remembered that the Fish cannot survive outside the Water, because they cannot Breath!!

She Started running and grabbing the small fishes and throwing them back to the sea…

It was getting Late, and Her father wanted to come back home.

Rasha’s Father: Come on Rasha, it’s getting Late! we need to come back, your mother is waiting.

Rasha: But I can’t come back… Look the Fishes are dying!!!

He looked and saw hundreds of fishes laying around and with every wave, more fishes are left on the sands to die.

Rasha’s Father: it’s Hopeless Rasha, you can’t save all the fishes..
Rasha: But Daddy!!

Rasha’s Father (with anger): You’re Still Young Rasha and you don’t understand, You can’t make a difference here… LET’S GO HOME NOW.

Rasha started crying, and held a small fish and looked at her father.

“You See that fish… for this one… Yes it makes a difference” and she throw it back to the sea.

The Father was astonished by what his 7 years old daughter said… But was speechless and stayed that way and they both returned home.

Rasha finished her meal quickly and went to her room.

Her mother followed her and asked her what’s going on?

Rasha: Life is not beautiful… It’s unfair and I don’t like it!!

The mother was surprised to hear such big words coming out of a little lady Smile.

“Come with me to the Kitchen, and we’ll have your favorite thing ever… Chocolate Cake!!” said the mother while grabbing Rasha’s hand and walking together to the kitchen!

“Open your Mouth” said the mother.
She then put a small spoon with flour into Rasha’s mouth!

Rasha: “What’s that??”
Mother: “Hold on… Now open your Mouth again!”
now she placed another small spoon of raw egg.

Rasha: “That’s awful! where’s the chocolate Cake!!!!”

And here Rasha learned the greatest lesson of All from her mother:

“To make a Chocolate Cake, you need to place lots of ingredients that may not taste good alone… and then we need to place it in the OVEN surrounded by FIRE and then to Place it in the Fridge to Freeze… and Finally the Result will be… The Tasty Chocolate Cake that you Love! and the Same goes with Life my Child!”

 

2 opposite things we can learn from Rasha’s Story.

One is that every single act of Good is Worth doing and one that we sometimes need to look at the bigger picture regarding the details Smile.

 

Enjoy & I’ll see you soon!
