0:00:14.681,0:00:16.352
How many kids are there

0:00:16.352,0:00:17.733
in this room?

0:00:17.733,0:00:20.651
Could I see your hands?

0:00:23.374,0:00:25.826
I would dedicate this presentation

0:00:25.826,0:00:27.798
to every child in this room,

0:00:27.798,0:00:29.579
including the child in you,

0:00:29.579,0:00:31.812
and the children around the world.

0:00:31.812,0:00:34.295
So I want you to pay attention

0:00:34.295,0:00:37.440
to this person standing here

0:00:40.209,0:00:43.797
What does it mean to be different?

0:00:43.797,0:00:46.424
To find the answer to this really profound question,

0:00:46.424,0:00:48.184
I decided to ask the guru

0:00:48.184,0:00:50.301
of all gurus,

0:00:50.316,0:00:52.724
Google.com

0:00:52.724,0:00:54.978
I googled the question

0:00:54.978,0:00:56.596
and voila! I got the answer.

0:00:56.596,0:00:58.245
However, there was a problem

0:00:58.245,0:01:00.021
because I got somewhere around

0:01:00.021,0:01:05.788
410,786,434 pages only.

0:01:05.788,0:01:07.482
So, since we have less time

0:01:07.482,0:01:11.413
I will compress it into one single sentence

0:01:11.413,0:01:13.578
like my figure.

0:01:14.270,0:01:16.385
And this is what I got.

0:01:16.385,0:01:19.514
When you have CBL:

0:01:19.514,0:01:23.106
two or more cultures, beliefs, lifestyles,

0:01:23.106,0:01:25.519
or when you have VOP:

0:01:25.519,0:01:27.825
views, opinions, perceptions,

0:01:27.825,0:01:30.893
that is when you have difference.

0:01:30.893,0:01:32.457
Now, if you look at me

0:01:32.457,0:01:35.703
I have a few tatoos on my body,

0:01:35.703,0:01:39.487
just one extended, one really large.

0:01:39.487,0:01:42.589
Now, you might think I'm different from you,

0:01:42.589,0:01:43.893
but I'm just like you.

0:01:43.893,0:01:45.376
I eat, I sleep, I laugh, I cry.

0:01:45.376,0:01:47.682
How many of you do that?

0:01:47.682,0:01:50.707
Mashallah, we are the same.

0:01:50.707,0:01:52.977
I also have this hobby of reading books,

0:01:52.977,0:01:55.624
writing articles and being on Facebook.

0:01:55.624,0:01:57.168
How many of you do that?

0:01:57.168,0:01:59.629
Mashallah, we are the same.

0:01:59.629,0:02:01.759
And guess what, I have a few dreams.

0:02:01.759,0:02:03.814
I would like to have long hair,

0:02:03.814,0:02:06.585
although it doesn't seem to be working.

0:02:06.585,0:02:09.094
I'd like to touch the lives of many people.

0:02:09.094,0:02:12.272
And when I die, I want to die fast.

0:02:12.272,0:02:14.868
How many of you would like that?

0:02:14.868,0:02:17.292
Okay, a few less hands.

0:02:17.292,0:02:18.796
But when people look at me,

0:02:18.796,0:02:21.358
this is the expression they give.

0:02:21.358,0:02:24.394
(Laughter)

0:02:25.148,0:02:27.075
It's like, I'm walking to the grocery

0:02:27.075,0:02:28.459
and totally --

0:02:30.167,0:02:32.346
I mean, I'm like,

0:02:32.346,0:02:35.818
"Whoa, relax, chill dude."

0:02:35.818,0:02:37.282
And people have baptized me

0:02:37.282,0:02:39.701
with those wonderful names.

0:02:39.701,0:02:41.521
Let me give you a few:

0:02:41.521,0:02:45.776
smoker, drinker, even a drug adict,

0:02:45.776,0:02:47.400
guy who drives a Harley,

0:02:47.400,0:02:49.619
gangster, a wrestler,

0:02:49.619,0:02:53.343
undertaker's brother and a heavy metal freak.

0:02:54.251,0:02:55.226
Yeah.

0:02:55.226,0:02:58.057
And the latest one to top the chart,

0:02:58.057,0:02:59.970
I've got this one:

0:02:59.970,0:03:02.354
(Roars)

0:03:02.354,0:03:03.467
You should see people

0:03:03.467,0:03:05.613
when they come into the lift and see me.

0:03:05.613,0:03:07.857
Oh, my!

0:03:07.857,0:03:12.332
Now, to your bad news,

0:03:12.332,0:03:14.263
I don't smoke, I don't drink,

0:03:14.263,0:03:15.302
I don't drive a Harley,

0:03:15.302,0:03:17.516
instead I love playing with kids.

0:03:17.516,0:03:20.827
I love children and children love to play with me.

0:03:20.827,0:03:21.902
But you should see the parents

0:03:21.902,0:03:23.157
when they see me

0:03:23.157,0:03:25.441
with their kids.

0:03:25.503,0:03:27.340
They go like,

0:03:27.340,0:03:31.140
"Uh, let's take him."

0:03:31.463,0:03:33.269
Hey, what's the difference?

0:03:33.269,0:03:35.332
What is the difference?

0:03:35.332,0:03:36.507
I'm a speaker, writer,

0:03:36.507,0:03:39.182
I'm a person who loves to read books.

0:03:39.182,0:03:41.342
I'm just like you.

0:03:41.342,0:03:42.746
Forget me.

0:03:42.746,0:03:46.158
How many other people do we judge,

0:03:46.158,0:03:49.309
even before we know them?

0:03:49.309,0:03:52.188
Have you ever thought about it?

0:03:52.188,0:03:53.338
The funny thing is

0:03:53.338,0:03:55.849
because all this experiences

0:03:55.849,0:03:58.210
I've come up with this new theory

0:03:58.210,0:04:01.071
that it hurts.

0:04:01.071,0:04:04.877
It hurts when you judge other people.

0:04:04.877,0:04:07.635
It hurts when you deprive someone

0:04:07.635,0:04:09.351
of their dreams,

0:04:09.351,0:04:10.789
of their goals,

0:04:10.789,0:04:12.118
of even a promotion,

0:04:12.118,0:04:15.843
because you categorize them into different boxes.

0:04:15.843,0:04:17.372
And it hurts

0:04:17.372,0:04:19.325
when you teach your children

0:04:19.325,0:04:23.044
something that is not true.

0:04:23.044,0:04:25.224
Because of the experiences in my life

0:04:25.224,0:04:28.168
I came up with this new theory

0:04:28.168,0:04:29.821
and by the way, it's copyright.

0:04:29.821,0:04:33.559
I call it The Loy's Theory of Eggs.

0:04:33.559,0:04:35.971
As for this profound theory,

0:04:35.971,0:04:38.065
we human beings are like eggs.

0:04:38.065,0:04:40.042
Different shapes, sizes and colors.

0:04:40.042,0:04:41.880
Some of them are really very big,

0:04:41.880,0:04:44.250
some medium, some really very small.

0:04:44.250,0:04:46.087
But my theory states:

0:04:46.087,0:04:48.114
All of us eggs are equal.

0:04:48.114,0:04:49.912
Give a round of applause.

0:04:49.912,0:04:51.143
(Applause)

0:04:51.159,0:04:53.127
Thank you.

0:04:53.127,0:04:55.425
No, my presentation is not over.

0:04:55.425,0:04:57.956
One of them just got up, relax.

0:04:57.956,0:04:59.428
So as I was saying,

0:04:59.428,0:05:02.333
we all eggs are equal.

0:05:03.533,0:05:07.655
If you want proof, do this.

0:05:07.655,0:05:09.266
Break an egg.

0:05:09.266,0:05:10.410
What do you get?

0:05:10.410,0:05:12.244
The same stuff inside.

0:05:12.259,0:05:14.169
But you get some people here

0:05:14.169,0:05:16.234
who categorize human beings

0:05:16.234,0:05:18.126
like they categorize eggs,

0:05:18.126,0:05:20.447
region or country.

0:05:20.447,0:05:23.432
You get them dividing people like

0:05:23.432,0:05:25.763
good quality, bad quality.

0:05:25.763,0:05:28.672
By one, get two free.

0:05:28.672,0:05:30.829
What's wrong with people?

0:05:32.152,0:05:35.031
But try doing this.

0:05:35.293,0:05:38.178
Give this small child a dozen eggs,

0:05:38.178,0:05:39.899
different colors.

0:05:39.899,0:05:42.380
For that child an egg is just an egg.

0:05:42.380,0:05:44.294
And nothing was made more evident to me

0:05:44.294,0:05:46.519
than the time when I was at the airport

0:05:46.519,0:05:50.471
waiting for my flight, daydreaming,

0:05:50.471,0:05:53.350
thinking of those romantic thoughts.

0:05:53.350,0:05:55.710
And then it happened.

0:05:55.710,0:05:58.268
Someting started scratcing my hand.

0:05:58.268,0:06:00.675
I looked down and I saw this.

0:06:00.675,0:06:04.024
A small baby girl apparently thought

0:06:04.024,0:06:06.353
I was a walking-coloring book

0:06:06.353,0:06:08.067
(Laughter)

0:06:08.067,0:06:12.927
(Applause)

0:06:14.281,0:06:18.748
and she actually started coloring me up.

0:06:18.748,0:06:22.331
Now, I decided to show her the angry look.

0:06:22.331,0:06:25.798
And I showed her --

0:06:25.798,0:06:29.201
She gave me her look.

0:06:29.586,0:06:31.846
And then I was like, I have to tell her.

0:06:31.846,0:06:33.976
"Oh, it's okay, relax.

0:06:33.976,0:06:37.363
How about coloring this?"

0:06:37.363,0:06:39.402
And she was very happy.

0:06:39.402,0:06:40.911
She started going higher and higher.

0:06:40.911,0:06:41.792
And before I knew it

0:06:41.792,0:06:43.124
two of her friends came running by

0:06:43.124,0:06:46.289
and all three started coloring me up.

0:06:46.289,0:06:48.302
Now picture this,

0:06:48.302,0:06:51.331
a big tatooed guy and three babies

0:06:51.331,0:06:53.517
coloring him up.

0:06:53.517,0:06:54.570
In fact, a lot of people got

0:06:54.570,0:06:57.640
a lot of photographs of it for free.

0:06:57.640,0:07:01.653
But they didn't judge me.

0:07:03.622,0:07:06.020
The thing about children is

0:07:06.020,0:07:07.794
for them, everything is like

0:07:07.794,0:07:11.051
a sense of curiosity and wonder.

0:07:11.051,0:07:13.848
They never, ever judge anyone.

0:07:13.848,0:07:16.392
Have you ever tried giving a child a book?

0:07:16.392,0:07:18.022
The child will open the pages,

0:07:18.022,0:07:19.089
try to read the book.

0:07:19.089,0:07:22.102
If not possible, eat it.

0:07:22.102,0:07:26.969
But a child never judges a book by its cover.

0:07:26.969,0:07:28.370
I really wonder:

0:07:28.370,0:07:32.334
Why do we grown-ups lose that sense of mischief?

0:07:32.334,0:07:33.438
In fact during the break --

0:07:33.438,0:07:35.970
Is Ali in the house? Ali, where are you?

0:07:35.970,0:07:38.612
Is Ali somewhere here?

0:07:41.027,0:07:44.324
Okay, there are a couple of Alis.

0:07:44.324,0:07:46.614
Ali asked me this beautiful question.

0:07:46.614,0:07:48.972
And I admire his courage for it.

0:07:48.972,0:07:50.097
He said, "Hey dude,

0:07:50.097,0:07:52.482
when you start looking like this,

0:07:52.482,0:07:56.234
how would you not expect someone to judge you?"

0:07:56.234,0:07:58.001
I mean how much of media does it take

0:07:58.001,0:07:59.321
for us to change opinions

0:07:59.321,0:08:02.173
or form opinions about other people?

0:08:02.173,0:08:03.473
Try doing this.

0:08:03.473,0:08:04.677
Take a group of children,

0:08:04.677,0:08:05.702
put them here.

0:08:05.702,0:08:08.430
From different cultures, communities, religions.

0:08:08.430,0:08:09.434
Put them here.

0:08:09.434,0:08:12.505
And do the same with adults.

0:08:12.505,0:08:14.687
You'd see a difference here,

0:08:14.687,0:08:16.174
and you'd see a difference here.

0:08:16.174,0:08:17.588
The reason is

0:08:17.588,0:08:23.520
because someone out there is giving you information

0:08:23.551,0:08:25.437
which is not true.

0:08:25.437,0:08:27.196
And for us, we are comfortable

0:08:27.196,0:08:29.601
to hide within our comfort zone

0:08:29.601,0:08:31.602
and judge others.

0:08:31.602,0:08:34.923
I believe that every human being here

0:08:34.923,0:08:36.552
is equal.

0:08:36.552,0:08:38.405
I believe that

0:08:38.405,0:08:41.198
when you categorize people through their CBL,

0:08:41.198,0:08:44.687
cultures, beliefs, lifestyles,

0:08:44.687,0:08:47.708
or even VOPs,

0:08:47.708,0:08:50.821
views, opinions or perceptions

0:08:50.821,0:08:53.701
you are comitting a sin.

0:08:53.701,0:08:57.443
Including when you judge someone with tatoos.

0:08:57.443,0:09:00.734
My dear friends, this is just color.

0:09:00.734,0:09:05.189
When I die, I'm going six feet underground

0:09:05.189,0:09:09.283
and most of you are gonna join me.

0:09:09.283,0:09:11.169
So why the differentiation

0:09:11.169,0:09:14.836
between me or anyone else.

0:09:14.836,0:09:19.019
So that is where I would conclude.

0:09:19.450,0:09:24.045
As I conclude, this is the message I give to all of you:

0:09:24.045,0:09:25.859
We are all born different,

0:09:25.859,0:09:27.669
to different fathers and mothers

0:09:27.669,0:09:29.037
but we are all the same.

0:09:29.037,0:09:31.501
We are all sisters, we are brothers.

0:09:31.501,0:09:33.589
We all have a pair of limbs,

0:09:33.589,0:09:35.508
eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

0:09:35.508,0:09:36.876
We all look the same.

0:09:36.876,0:09:40.917
Be from far East, the West, North or South.

0:09:40.917,0:09:43.202
When we are all the same,

0:09:43.202,0:09:45.922
why do we hate, fight and cry.

0:09:45.922,0:09:48.314
Instead, let's pray for one another

0:09:48.314,0:09:51.339
under this vast beautiful blue sky.

0:09:51.339,0:09:54.789
Every waking day, bless each and everyone,

0:09:54.789,0:09:59.449
by the cool summer breeze or the warmth of the sun.

0:09:59.449,0:10:02.412
Look at each and everyone

0:10:02.412,0:10:03.973
through the eyes of a child.

0:10:03.973,0:10:05.518
Hold each other close

0:10:05.518,0:10:09.331
through prayers, powerful, yet mild.

0:10:09.331,0:10:13.161
Take those baby steps like walking.

0:10:13.161,0:10:15.160
And do this one small thing.

0:10:15.160,0:10:17.366
No more wars will be fought.

Songs of victory we will sing.

Let's become like little children,

0:10:21.810,0:10:25.145
this is the message that I bring.

0:10:25.145,0:10:28.295
For this child here, you all,

0:10:28.295,0:10:31.144
every person here,

0:10:31.144,0:10:32.570
every child in the world

is truly

0:10:33.909,0:10:37.153
the beauty of small things.
