Crack to the moon | Ahmed Alfaleet | TEDxShujaiya

The philosophy of "realizing the value of everything in our lives and enjoying it" is the message of a "four" year old man. Ahmed who mastered Hebrew in less than 20 days, obtained a bachelor degree in International Relations and a Master’s degree in General Management, read over 3000 books. Whoever, wherever or whenever you are, this talk will give you a new view of life, especially if you knew that a human being who spent 20 years of his youth in prison will always find what makes him smile and be thankful for what he has while never giving in to despair Ahmed Alfaleet is a Palestinian liberated prisoner born in 1972. He believes his age does not exceed 4 years old. These are the last ones when the sun has risen over his head after having been absent all his 20 years spent in Israeli prisons. During these years in prison, Ahmed mastered Hebrew in less than 20 days, obtained a bachelor degree in International Relations and a Master’s degree in General Management, volunteered to teach his fellow prisoners Hebrew, and read over 3000 books, thus enlightening his mind and heart. Ahmed is now the manager of a center for prisoners and Israeli affairs studies. He believes that life is more beautiful than to spend it in complaints over life hardships, and that a human being who spent 20 years of his youth in prison will always find what makes him smile and say thanks for this life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
