- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ค. 2017
- Sparsh Shah wants to show people how they can transcend every difficulty that comes their way in life and how they can start a chain reaction to be a guide for other people who want to turn their life around as well.
Sparsh is a 13-year old child prodigy, singer/song writer/rapper born with brittle bones (130+fractures), but an unbreakable spirit. He became a worldwide internet sensation with his Purhythm versions of Eminem covers. He aspires to inspire and sing in front of a billion people one day.
Sparsh has been learning Hindustani classical music for the last seven-and-a-half years and American vocal music for the last three years. Sparsh is multi-talented. He performs at community events and has appeared on local radio stations and television shows, besides hosting shows as an MC.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
His bones maybe fragile but his soul is really tough and strong.
Haha but not then me
Albert Davis absolutely true
@@sentineldesmond9290 the fools say ther is no God
Raven actually, there is a god. you just cant see him. well, not yet. and there is also souls. everyone in the world has a soul. they just dont believe it.
@Raven
There is no gravity no oxygen because I can't see it
This made me cry.. look at him.. what am I doing with my life..

Logic Wins trying to find a connection between ur name and ur comment
How to turn Impossible into I'm possible:
1. Find your passion
2. Never hold yourself back
3. Help others
4. Dream big
I am suffering from a mental state and thank you so much cause your words helped me a little bit and this little bit also mean very much for me. I am blessing you from the bottom of my heart

Exactly what everyone else tells me to stop doing...
What a great inspiration he is! When I was 18, I had a vacation job in a home for physically and mentally disabled children. It was one of the toughest things I've seen. The kids in the "bed" section were of all ages, up to 17 years, but they would never walk.... spend all their existence in a little bed. Their parents had all abandoned them, and nobody else wanted them, either. So the nurses there were the only ones caring for them. One little girl, the size of a one year old, who was actually 9 years old, had also what we called "glass bones", just like this boy. Except she had never had a family, who would believe in her, speak to her... nothing at all. The nurses never talked to the kids, they just cared for their bodily well being: feeding, washing, cleaning up diapers, giving medications.
I started to play with the kids, and they began to react to me, smiling mostly, as almost all could not move their body at all. I was sure that these children knew every one and who interacted with them or not. I managed to develop a real relationship with hand signs on my part, and mostly smiles or eye movements from the kids. The nurses and doctors were surprised to see the kids responding to me. It had never occurred to them to try it. I for one will never forget any of these children, they live on in my memory and my heart.
At what place did you get that job? may i know
Your comment made me cry.
That's so sweet of yours , i can imagine how beautiful and pure you are from your heart and soul.
" God bless you "
This is compassion to which even non sentient, plants respond. There nothing above a compassionate heart.
Kudos to you for your humanity
I genuinely want to know what was wrong with the audience.
Coz the Audience is to OLD and not respect to a kids ( maybe )
Indians didn't expect humor from him 🤣🤣
@@azimmate6615 😂😂😂😂😂
just because they don't agree with his sense of humor doesn't mean they have issues lol
@@azimmate6615 nonsense 😶😶😶
How genuinely he said 'Thank you' . GOD BLESS HIM.
How genuinely he said 'Thank you 'God Bless
I agree
Amen
Such a sweet, funny and gifted human. You did 'Sparsh' our hearts💯. Amen to winning GRAMMYs.
I'm so pressured and hopeless recently but this boy inspired me🥰
What a boy. At thirteen years he has come to share his story on Tedex..God bless him with all opulences..
What shut up 😭😭😭
God bless him

he did a joke and no one laughed at his joke. Bruh. His joke wasn't that bad tbh
true,PEOPLE APPRECiatee!!!!
😂😂
excactly i got so mar
@Mason Lamb lmao
it was
this boy is unbelievable he was hiding his pain even though he was emotional /crying .when i was in 10th i got very less marks i had very high expectation that i'll score high i was depressed ,mentally and physically . just look at him his bones maybe fragile loved his speech now i'm going tell my self nothing is impossible everything will be possible if you want . fell in love with his voice
His smile and his laughter just gives a very beautiful positivity ♥️
He is speaking like a gentleman. He is absolutely a great person.
The boy was not physically and mentally paralized
The audience were
😂
Yes
I get what your saying 😶🙄
well thats because almost half of his references were american for eg Mr. Glass and the audience were indian with not much knowladge of western society
Your right I just feel bas
I think the audience felt laughing at his jokes would feel like they’re laughing at his condition. I think they were to nervous to laugh. Such power this young man has.
I see with you
that's what I thought, too, but still felt horrible when no one laughed at his jokes. But with his attitude I doubt it bothered him much.
Laughing on his jokes encourages him that he didnot attract pity from universe but the joy and energy.
May belaughter was not real because I was also seen the vedio . I barely smile once. I was surprisingly astonished to see the bravery of boy. How he drags whole sea of people along with leaving no space for sorrow, pity and all negative feelings. Isn't it
@@Yogaseyog yes, it is! He was so impressive.
Dear darling little "senior" my immense joy and pride to see what you have done and are doing .Also tons of love for spreading such positivity and doing it SO VERY WILL!!!
i love the way he gets happy when the audience clap for him
Yes
Yeah
@@miyi6621 Perchè? È molto simpatico, no?
I agree with you thank you
me too....but I felt awful when nobody laughed at his jokes.
To all those who feel like their dreams are about to end or have almost shattered , this child is a true motivation. The confidence he has built in such a small age , fighting up with his disabilities and then too turning up higher than any normal being . hats off to you
WE ALL ARE NOT THE SAME , ALL OF US HAVE SOME OR THE OTHER THING DIFF . but child you have a mix of all the bestest qualities and abilities in you . kudos to your talent :-)
He's the sign of pure life! So much energy. He may be disabled in someway but enabled in many more ways than any others, such an inspiration.
This boy is a Saint from Heaven. I just love the way he talks. He sings like an Angel. GOD BLESS!!!!!!
💓
GOD FORGOT TO BLESS HIM.
Hey, I have a disability as well and super 40s so it it’s kind of like yours but not as sentimental. I have a question for you I was wondering if I could use part of your video in one of my videos could you please email me at my email that will show up in your email when you get this comment notification. My name is Rebecca I am 31 I have watched your story literally over 1000 times, what is so inspirational not just me but to my family as well. Thank you so much for TH-cam channel is called Rebecca movies, adorable baby clothes nursery if you would like to check it out that it’s a bit reborn dolls, but this is something that Hass to be called in my life. Thank you again Rebecca Russell.
Yes! Great song, story! Inspiring! Thank you to him for sharing and everyone for commenting.

OH MY GOD..!!
He is So mature and smart..!
He knows how to talk to audience..!!
Love the way he says"Thank You"..!! (kinda cute)
Nikunj Garg true words.. really amazed
Nikunj Garg well said
Nikunj Garg I know right!
Nikunj Garg omg yall indian girls like him Lol
he is great
Jeez! The strength, talk, charisma and intelligence i see here is not of a 13year old! I don't know what level of wonder to place you but you are one of the earth's wonder! May you live long!
This kids 19 now! Truly inspiring what he does!
Did u people notice that he didn't share his disabilities and feelings what he has faced....but still he motivated us , such a wonderful speech by 13 yrs old child. His voice is awesome ,the way of singing.. wow!! felt Goosebumps :)
Hello he share his problem and feeling in starting of video hope you understand!
@@gamerboys5189 i am not talking about the disorder , I'm just saying about the 'disabilities', he didn't mentioned the things which he can't do...!! We people ,feels more about the things which we can not do and blame ourself , but that child speaks in matured enough manner. I mentioned this point u understand!!
Dude he's a TEEN
I think his heart filled with pain.but he doesn't want to show to any other people. He just want to motivate them thats because I like him.ate the 13 he behave like a 70 years person his pain would be changed his personality god bless my child live long ...inspired all who thinks I am disabled. ...
Yeahh and in bollywood shows like indian idol there will always one guy or girl, who'll cry and say mere papa rickshaw chalate hai par unke legs nhi hai 🥲
when he would tell a joke and nobody would laugh I honestly felt bad for him.
Me too
They were just laughing for him.because he was laughing! and when somebody talks to me with laughing, I should also laugh him/her back. it’s not like that they were criticising him! I'm sure that audience loved him.
I agree with vanlikestoast,, and tjej still they weren't being that polite
By it he kept on going & never lost his laugh. I like his laugh.
I think they're just fascinated with how exceptional he is.
This dude is just freakin amazing! I aspire to be like him one day, and the smile he has is the living example of how the toughest soldiers have the most beautiful smiles.
The spirit in this guy is unmatched.
This kid will make a landmark in human history .
He does not seem to be of thirteen
What a personality👍
Ya
Really he is amazing
I am getting this in my TH-cam recommendation after 6 years.. This little boy helped me bringing back my zeal to do what I wanted to. Lots of love ❤️ and god bless you with this cheering smile always.. 😊
We should learn from him , He is inspiring the whole World . May be he is not perfect physically but mentally he is very perfect, strong And his smile literally ❤️
May god bless him
when i see my self back when i was 13 😭😭😭😭😭 i didn't know 1% of the knowledge he has
Bro zmaana badal gya he jab tere papa 13 ke the tab vo utna jaante the kya jitna tum 13 me jaante the
Same here 😷😷😷
Don't underestimate your self... Everyone has different time to proliferate.. everyone got different social environment as well as mental support as well as economical .. everyone one is different and special
Live live to express not to impress. All r deferent
I believe he pushed himself hard to come forward with his problem to achieve something, it is extraordinary. He did it with very great family support. I would appreciate his parents to acheve this feet.
this kid has more life than 10 people combined! amazing, truly inspirational!
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Sparsh and his dad Hiren in person. They are both absolutely incredible!
I love how he never looses his enthusiasm no matter what is the reaction he gets from the people. When he says thank you I can feel it, he truly is so pure and full of love it's incredible T-T
no words to express my satisfaction after watching dis video...he is just amazingggg
and I am sure I don't need to say god bless him Bcoz he is already blessed

Amazing tone

Seriously this is the meanest audience I ever know.
Henry Than, try and say sushi chef sushi
Henry Than don’t say that bruh just cause they didn’t laugh?
Itzy well, do you know what is meaner than someone doesn't laugh a 13 years old kid is doing his presentation ???
Henry Than, if they didn’t laugh they didn’t find it funny. Here let’s say I’m 13 years old and I make a bad joke that’s not funny what you gonna do? Probably not laugh if you laugh they’ll say the same bad joke again
Henry than, I know what’s meaner... someone robbing you
This talk came at a perfect time. Words cannot express my gratitude 😭. God bless you young brother 🙏
salute to this little boy, every body should learn from you, how to be happy and life going even in toughest situation. you are an inspiration for millions, God bless you
That Kid has something known as ' Communication Skills '..!!
Nikunj Garg but the audience has got none!
Nikunj Garg absolutely right ..he's good speaker
+Nikunj Garg +Verma Aman I agree!
I wish I had 1% of that quality from him.

What an inspiring gentleman. You inspire those who have it easy but refuse to be happy. Love your sincere laughter. God bless you, son.
Him on a wheel chair saying "HELP OTHERS" wins my every compliment for him I can think of at the moment.
i wonder what makes him 100% confident n faithfull i don't even have 20% confidence of anything. amazing guy
struggle made him strong..... when we meet obstacles, we know what we can overcome;
we people often tend to cower in fear of things from our imagination
On his confidence...because of his condition he was super protected and given the attention we all need as children. His health problem perhaps 'protected' him more from any form of abuse and/or neglect we normals are subjected to unconsciously. However, so much credit goes to his parents/caretakers. They did an excellent job independently from his condition.
Sparsh, you are more stronger than most of us. Keep inspiring.
Yes
That's not true this is your perception what you think
Hello
I hope u are strong too
@@kushagrasingh6293 8679899

Hey kid. You have Sparshed my heart. You truly are a Braveheart.
If you can sing classical Indian, you can sing anything....
this boy is inspirational indeed.
His confidence is blowing my mind, he's truly a gentle guy!
The best motivational speech I have come across so far. So engaging to watch. God bless this inspiring child. So much of positive energy that emanates from him is so contagious and encouraging. God bless him more with even greater heights in all his endeavours ❤️
one thing we all have forgotten growing up and he had all across the Vedio and in real life is - SMILE yes , thankyou so much Sparsh . thankyou so much ill try to see possible things rather than thinking its impossible
One more example that proves - "Age is jst a number " .
that pic of newborn was heartbreaking but this child is an incredible human being-he is like an old soul-props to his parents that never gave up on him!
Sparsh Shah is an amazing inspiration to everyone. God bless you always 🙏🏼
Amen to your strength and perseverance and humor! You make me realize there’s nothing too bad going on in my life quit my bishin.
Such a legend! Massive respect to him! He's changing lives and he's just 13! INCREDIBLE and God Bless :)
I am very proud of him. It’s very sad to know that he got a horrible disorder. He reminded me of Steven Hawking and if he's still alive he’ll be very proud of him too.
Stephen Hawking is still alive in his form
Usman khan he’s still alive
Blue Fire not any more...
Wow !!! this is what the world needs !! to know that I'M POSSIBLE !!! Thank you so much for sharing .
No situation is hopeless,it can only be so if we give up.Thank you so much for your inspirational speech.May you continue to grow in leaps and bounds.
When nobody laughed at his joke i increased volume i thought something is wrong with my earphones
