    😢🤲🏻💔😥😭.وَاَللَّهِ مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ إِلَّا مِنَ الْجُوعِ وَالْفَقْرِ وَضِيقِ الْحَالِ.. حَسْبُنَا اللّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فِي مَن وُصِلْنَا بِهَذَا الْحَالِ. إِنِّي وَإِخْوَانِي الصّغَارِ صَارَ لَنَا ثَلاَثَة أَيَّامٍ بِدُونِ أَكْلٍ. كُلَّ سَاعَةٍ يَدُقُّ عَلَيْنَا صَاحِبُ الْبَيْتِ يَطْلُبُ الْإِجَارَ وَيُهَدِّدُنَا بِالطَّرْدِ إِلَى الشَّارِعِ إِذَا مَا دَفَعْنَا. حَسْبُنَا اللّهُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّهِ  يَا أَهْلَ الْقُلُوبِ الرَّحِيمَةِ، أَقْسِمُ بِمَنْ رَفَعَ السَّمَاءَ وَبَسَطَ الْأَرْضَ أَنَّا لَنْ يُوجَدَ دَاخِلَ بَيْتِنَا حَتَّى قُوتِ يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ غَيْرَ الْجِيرَانِ يَدُولُنَا وَنَحْنُ نُعَانِي الْأَلَمَ وَالْوَيْلَاتِ. يَامَنْ أَنْتُم تُحِبُّونَ أَبْنَائَكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ، نَحْنُ بَنَاتُكُمْ نُعَانِي وَنَتَالمُ، وَلَا أَحَدً يَنظُرُ إِلَيْنَا بِعَيْنِ الرَّحْمَةِ. أَنَا أُشَادِكُمْ يَامَنْ تُحِبُّونَ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرِ، حَيْثُ أَنَّا يَتَامَى وَمَا لَنَا أَحَدٌ، وَمُهَدَّدُونَ بِالطَّرْدِ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ إِلَى الشَّارِعِ إِذَا لَمْ نَدْفَعِ الإِجَارَ. *967737453343+*
     My appeal to every Muslim, my brother or sister, the owner of the channel, I know that it is not my right to comment on your channel, but God is my witness that our circumstances are harsh and forced me to do this. Please forgive me. My brother, there is still a brotherhood of faith. I asked you for a bag of flour. My brother, we women cannot go out among men. There is still a woman with you. My brother, God has honored you. You are men. We are women. We cannot go out or work like you. My brother, where is the brotherhood of faith in your hearts? We are women. There is no brotherhood, no mercy, no compassion, no humanity. And give good tidings to the patient. It is the greatest hope while waiting for what we want. *00967737453343* ”””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””” How many times I called and talked and tried hard, but no one responded. Oh man, we are with you. My mother ordered us food from the restaurant. More and today. My mother left. Crying. She said, Why are you crying, my mother? She said, My daughter, I ask. God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother.  She cursed us. She said, “My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘How can I be better than people?’ I ask God, my daughter. May God gather me. With death alone, a gathering that is better than this humiliation and this humiliation. It is true. I am saying this. It diminishes my value and respect. But, man. I swear to God that I did not say this. I kiss your boots. I am so hungry that my conscience no longer allows me to let you go and ask us for food. I kiss your boots, man, and I ask you by God Almighty and in the Book of God, man, I kiss your boots, man.  He has caused us harm, my brother, so that we can buy a kilo of flour and pay the rent. My brother, have mercy on us. He who is in the show will have mercy on you, He who is in the sky. My brother, this is my WhatsApp number: *𝟬𝟬𝟵𝟲𝟳𝟳37453343* . Whoever can help us, message me on WhatsApp. We will send him the full name. He will transfer us as much as he can. May Allah reward you. Allah knows that my family and I, our house rent is 15 thousand Yemeni riyals per month, and now we owe 45 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By Allah, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants to throw us out of the house and into the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. We will have until the end of the week, and if we pay him, he will swear by Allah that he will throw us out into the street without mercy. See my situation for yourselves. I ask you by Allah, the Living, the Eternal, to help me. By Allah, the Almighty, even at night we cannot sleep from fear. We do not have mattresses or blankets to warm ourselves from the cold. Everything is flooded from the rain, and we have no one but Allah and then you.  My brothers, I kiss your boots, don’t turn me away empty-handed. Help us with whatever you can. Is it acceptable to you that we live in this place? We are girls and we have no one. Our father died in a car accident. Consider us your daughters and your honor, and help me with whatever you can. May God reward you  ””””””””””””””””””””””””.°÷π÷π÷÷π`π^~_~÷`÷`π÷~_π`÷~ππ°~÷~π~π~÷~π~ππ~π…….،.، ……،.،..،.،..،.،.،..،.،..،.،.،.،…………..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,..,..،.،.،.،.،..،..,..,.,     ,     ,.,.,..,.,.,..,.,.,.,……………………,.,.,..,. . .. . .. . . .. . .. . . . …  .   ….،..،..،.،…….،….، ……………..¤¡◇😢◇○♤♡😭(///∇///^▽^)/★*☆♪×<>>÷💔😢😢😢😢😢😭😥😥💔😔😔😓😞😭😭😭😭😢😢😢………. ااااا😢😢😢.. 😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

    Once I have conveyed my information, do with it what you will, my part in the conversation is ended and I wish to be left alone.

    Speaking of which, the unedited podcast format is the worst delivery format.

    I’m 2 minutes in and the guest speakers voice and delivery sounds so boring and monotonous that I wonder who decided he’s an expert at speaking. Maybe he should just stick to writing? I’m literally falling asleep to this bore

      It’s good you accepted. When you speak you should follow some tips, like you should speak calmly and slowly, don’t need to speak each and everything at a one time. if you follow, you will seeing the better results.

    No amount of speaking or voice training will help if the people you’re talking to don’t want listen. Or when they reject you or your subject matter.

    I Collett the difference between listening and hearing. Those are both entirely different. When you’re listening you are giving your undivided attention and you’re thinking about what’s being said to you at the same time. When you are hearing (which is sadly wet most of humanity does now) things just go in one ear and out the other and there isn’t much absorbing or thinking involved.

    Talking is pointless. Just as therapy is pontless. Like in the first season of American Horror Story where a psychiatrist says. Therapy does not work. What you trying to pass is the idea that certain voices make people listen. It is better to work on youself than to try to talk to people so they listen. If u want totalk, talk to the wall.The wall will listen to you all the time. And here is a good thing. The wall always listen. But it does not talk back or react. How cool is that !

What do you do when the world declares something impossible? When physician-scientist David Fajgenbaum was dying from a rare disease and social entrepreneur Kiah Williams was confronting the realities of economic hardship, they began asking a different question: What can I do today? In this conversation, they discuss how turning hope into action can drive meaningful change — one step at a time. (This conversation is hosted by The Audacious Project’s Alexandra Tillmann) (Recorded at TEDNext 2025 on November 10, 2025.)

Which Idea Wins Over 4,000 People? | Amman | TED Idea Search

The TED Idea Search wraps up in Amman, Jordan, in a 2,000-year-old Roman amphitheater and in front of a crowd of 4,000. What unfolds inside those stone walls is something the series hasn’t quite seen before: speakers shaped by the weight of living in a region the world tends to define for itself. From a mountaineer who turned grief into motivation to a therapist rewriting the Arab world’s language around mental health, the final city makes the strongest case yet that the best ideas can come from anywhere.

Watch the full talks from the TEDxAmman Idea Search:

00:00 – Intro
3:24 – Rehearsals
16:00 – The Talks
36:28 – Deliberation
38:48 – The Winner Is…

The most interesting ideas often come from the most unexpected places. We searched the globe for ideas with the power to inspire, motivate and change lives — and we found them at @TEDx events around the world. The TED Idea Search follows extraordinary speakers from 9 countries competing for a spot on the TED main stage in Vancouver this April.
