- 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

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 😶😶😶
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
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.
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

How genuinely he said 'Thank you 'God Bless
I agree
Amen
Sparsh, you really touched millions of hearts, offered courage and positive outlook for many millions. Thanks you for sharing your life journey ( 13 years but myriad of life experience). You exposed how we cringe when confronted by a brave young man like you. Majority of the people commented shockingly addressed you as a third person but not by your name Sparsh, which I understand meaning 'touch', although you touched most of their hearts. Thank you for your contribution to the humanity.
I'm so pressured and hopeless recently but this boy inspired me🥰
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.
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
What an inspiring gentleman. You inspire those who have it easy but refuse to be happy. Love your sincere laughter. God bless you, son.
So amazing is this young man, and he's a comedian too.❤🤗 I love his inspiring words, and his musical talent, God bless!

@@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 🥲

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
believe me i just feel goose pump when he started singing. he is so talented in just that early age. hats off young man.
It was a typo.. it is goose bumps...
Atif Ayub Petrol pump
Karan no it's goose bumps
me too
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.
His smile and his laughter just gives a very beautiful positivity ♥️
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.
Wow, who knew a 13 year old could be this inspirational? Much respect.
Rick James! So true!! Loved him..
Akash Babu Pantha what is wrong with u.

Literally got goosebumps 🔥
What an awesome kid. The sky is only just beginning. Keep soaring high son we are all rooting for you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
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
Life gives him hundred reasons to cry and he replies them with thousand reasons to smile.
very well said

His bones maybe fragile but his soul is stringent.
The kid knows some nice puns at a young age and the audience has no sense of humor .

they r not human
55k like the video. Try to focus on positive things if you want to remain happy
NTPopcicle those r the people who r perfectly normal but utter failure. So, out of jealousy n guilt they disliked the video.
Those are the trump supporters and selfish pricks that think that this awesome kid is annoying because he is loved and successful and adorable and he is an easy target because of his age and love and success.
If you can sing classical Indian, you can sing anything....
this boy is inspirational indeed.
A child of great courage . What a wonderous lesson learnt from him . All the best to you my dear one . Keep doing what you do well . God bless you richly
May you always be safe & well.
