How a 13-year Old Changed ‘Impossible’ to ‘I’m Possible’ | Jaipuria

We at JIM have a regular practice of watching and discussing about the TED TALK VIDEOS as a part of our timetable, this time the video that was shown to us was given by a 13-year-old small by,Sparsh Shah, who is suffering from Osteogenesis Imperfecta since he was born. The boy told that he has multiple screws and rods were placed in his body. Even after facing 130 fractures, his kind nature and motivating songs not only motivated me but every person who listened to. But the most fascinating thing that I found in that small kid was his never give-up attitude that was ingrained in him.

Only two words are enough to make anyone motivated. These are IMPOSSIBLE and I’M POSSIBLE. Sparsh explained few steps that he has used to convert IMPOSSIBLE to I’M POSSIBLE, that are, Find your Passion, Never hold yourself back, Help Others, and Dream Big.

In the first point, Find Your Passion, he said that when he was 10 years old, he went through Indian Classical Vocal training and also learnt American Vocal lessons. With this, he found his passion. Music became his soul.

In the second point, never hold yourself back, he showcased his own PURHYTHM and RAGARAP. PURHYTHM was made up of Pure and Rhythm whereas RAGARAP was made up of RAGA (Indian Classical Music) and RAP (Hip Hop). And through all these, he made his first song named as ‘This love will never fade’. This was the time when god changed his life. This was the time when he got to know that life is not only limited to those physical problems that he was facing but there is still huge scope of improvement in other areas of life. This was so inspiring to him that till now he has written 11 songs on his own and has also received various accomplishments from various celebrities. This is the biggest accomplishment that the 13 year old kid got in his early age.

The third point that he focused upon is, help others, explained with an example where he worked for a Non Profit making Organization and in this he generated more than half a billion dollar of revenue. Such great revenue that a small kid with immense potential and intelligence had generated. He singled out a very good point that the biggest satisfaction of all our life is when we get to help change someone else’s life for some betterment.

The last point that Sparsh delivered was, Dream big, he said that he wants to leave his foot prints into the sand of legacies so deep that not even a tsunami can erase it. He encouraged us by saying a line, ‘don’t you all want to be remembered?’. One more point which every listener should remember is that “Never give up on your passion, whatever the situation would be. As Sparsh’s passion was music, he made it part of his life. The small kid having such a brilliant mind and big dreams, I think this is the gift from god that will open the eyes of each and every person in this world. He is the one who will change the life of every person and as a result will leave his foot prints and cute face in everyone’s heart.

At the end he made the closing with a song in which some parts were most inspiring of all. These were, I’m not afraid, walk this road together through the storm whatever weather, cold or warm. Also he inspired the audiences by saying that if you can believe it than you can achieve it!

For me, Sparsh Shah is a catalyst because he gave me four simple steps to convert IMPOSSIBLE to I’M POSSIBLE. These are Find your Passion, never hold yourself back, help others and dream big.
