- “Love is a father who carried his son in failure and cured him of failure". Steve Okeyo has known and lived failure over and over again. He captivates us with his humor as he tells us the number of times his father lifted him, this includes when he walked from class 7 to class 6 due to frustrations from the math teacher. His experience at his first high school after failing to get a calling letter to high school, made him realize that he needed to get a better quality of education to escape his current reality and create a new one. In this rich and perceptive talk, we get to see how failure and its accompanying experiences can build character and shape a life as Steve pays tribute to his father.
"Love is a father who carried his son in failure and cured him of failure"
This is amazing
💕💝
Well said.
"He educated all his sisters children and they were eternally ungrateful" 😂😂 This is a statement that sadly reverberates around many families. This man is a good story teller.
This guy is so funny , he says they were outside the education system
I was blessed with such a father
My ohh my this guy judt msde me see how privilaged I have been all my life. How our parents shield us from alot of things out there.
Laughing all the way. Pausing to catch a breathe. Beautiful especially for me as a lecturer.
Wow!!! Thank you for your testimony and powerful message!!
Never be afraid to take a step back!!
But keep standing
Your father is a hero bravo to him and congratulations to you too for being patient
❤
Never be afraid to take a step back. Amazing.....
Failure doesn't come suddenly.....repeated episodes and a father who never gave up! You came out a hero Okeyo! Hongera! You speak for many who will not freely confess to taking a step back. Oh my av had a good laugh at myself more than at you.
Your Father did not only educate his Sisters Children, through what you did this day, he educated the World and it shall remain that way. I sure will also educate my Sons in the same way...eye opening. Thanks.
Never be afraid to take a step back!
Deep underneath this hilarious story,is a deep sadness of deep facts of what other students in other deep areas of Kenya are forced to go through.
Absolutely brilliant. Eloquent. Humbling. Thank you for sharing Boss.
That poignant statement about his chat with dad at the grave really hit differently....even the room's silence was loud.
So polished... Hilarious.. Sobering.. Waaao so short and interesting..I've learned a lot.. Thanks for sharing
Am laughing through my tears. Greetings from Uganda. This was beautiful and truly inspirational. Good story teller Mr. Steve Thanks Engaged.
You are funny and engaging. Thanks for sharing.
Kudos to your dad.A real hero.
Powerful story and great man your dad and you are. That's the true Afrikan love, our parents may never say it to you but they'll show it 1M times better and more, sometimes you get to understand it later in life
I can pay anything to listen to this guy again and again
Quite a beautiful story, you are also a GOOD storyteller. I have been laughing from the beginning.
A sad yet inspiring story...wow!
Wow. Hannington's dad is a challenging role model to us dads today. Bravo to the old man, he's made a good parent of his child 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.
Lovely,thanks for sharing.
Wooooi.... I have to forgive Chits and Makoks...and the Bunyore girls trauma... And yes...no harm in taking a step back! I thrive now in the field of disabilities... God heals and loves slow learners.. LDs..We thrive!!!
The influence, positive or negative teachers have on our children's lives..

Went to school as a class seven in the morning, came back as a class 6 pupil in the evening..very humorous

Kenyan teachers traumatize children.Its good to have a supporting parent. Your dad is a hero. For sure never be afraid to take a step back.
Fascinating story
One step back resulted into three leaps out of failure.
Ol’kalou Secondary School😂, I grew up there and I used to have friends who went there. True about the weather amongst other things.

Never be afraid to take a step back,,,,
For a arrow to shoot you've to pull back
Saudi Arabia watching,,,,,,
Love of the parents means the world to the kids
12:40 - 13:14 When things get tough, don't be afraid to take a step back. Take it, but remain standing. Don't fall.
Funny real guy😂😂😂😂
POWERFUL💪💪💪✌✌✌❤❤❤
Humorous to say the least
Watching this in 2022 and my take home is ......never be afraid to take a step back
Funny that those days guys would repeat classes for the most trivial of reasons...to follow a friend..to avoid excess beating in the next class etc 😂😂
‘I am grateful to have a shirt.”
#Perspective.
Interesting
Awesome 😎. Great story telling skills and great insights
Watched
hilarious
Funny guy.🤫
We celebrate your dad, but also we would like to hear more from people who acknowledge their mums for their hard hard work. Women have a harder job than men. Your dad supported u maybe by words or economical support. Am sure your mum did 5 times that job
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
I think the speakers should rehearse before the speech....or a written commentary to fill in gaps.....we are left wondering what is division one, which highschool did he go? Did he make to college... Is he successful now? He said he visits his father once a month...is that in the grave? Engage is doing great stuff....but improvement is necessary...
His title is familiar with failure .I think that's why he is highlighting the areas of failure ..anyway improvement will be appreciated .👍
Who is cutting onions?
This man is really me I used to lead from bottom but currently am a trainer in one of the national polytechnic my friends determination!
Sir stev😄😅
G assume
Thank you for sharing but it's not wise to name characters in real life.
