This was a great speech, well done. This part especially stood out for me:
> Now in real life, what is magic in our world? It’s kinda the opposite. It’s about imagining something which is not yet exist, and believing in it so much that you will it into existence with a lot, lot, lot of hard work. So much work that people often think you are crazy.
I get the "you're crazy" vibe on HN occasionally, and this is close to what I've been doing for going on 4 years now: gathering so much energy around myself -- in the form of work and effort and resources -- that the things that I began imagining even longer ago start becoming real.
I have a list of 22 different projects, spanning 50 years of time, ranging from pretty straightforward to preposterous. So far I've pulled off the first two of them, and my now-business-partner has just pulled off another on his own. We're picking up speed!
Thanks for getting out there and motivating kids. That's a great thing to do. :-)
