[@ricardorodriguez8214]

Suffered from dyslexia but now I own my own company and have 3 employees

[@tiffanysunday9660]

Congrats!!

[@ricardorodriguez8214]

Thankyou !

[@whitebeltforlife]

Would you say you no longer suffer from dyslexia? And, do you feel like you could not of achieved what you have done as a dyslexic person?

[@ricardorodriguez8214]

Yes I believe I still am dyslexic I have trouble reading still till this day unless it’s something I’m really passionate about but yea it’s gonna away a tiny bit but no where near when I was in the special class in high school ,, I think confidence and creativity is key with those two things any thing is possible ,,, I plan on owning multi family property in the future as well I will do it

[@GodsChildrenOnEarth]

Thank you. This gives me hope. I believe my son is dyslexic. Will have him tested soon.

[@deletedbyebye975]

Very inspiring & beautifully said. I've struggled not with Dyslexia all my life , but the hatred & ignorance of others & for the 1st time in my life, I see it as the gift it's always been. I'm proud to be dyslexic. I AM capable, I'm MORE THAN capable. I EXCEED. 💡

[@JohnPetersonTX]

Love the can do attitude. That's exactly what entrepreneurs need. Thank you for the story on the success of others and how you have succeeded with entrepreneurship. I hope everyone can help get the word out.

[@TiffanySunday]

John Peterson Thanks John, I appreciate your support!

[@gideonokyere1516]

I am proud to be dyslexic

[@micnicteach]

Fantastic talk. I am actually teaching an Entrepreneur class to dyslexic students for the second year in 2022 thanks to Noticeability's help. It focusses on the Dyslexic advantage MIND strengths. I also teach them how to use the Microsoft Learning tools in class to help when they struggle. It's early days but it's fantastic to have the opportunity to help change the tide of opinion and create a positive ripple effect for their future (And hopefully future generational change in thinking)

[@thunderstrike-rw4hn]

I was told recently that my reading age and writing age was at 5 years old iam 44 years old I have worked extremely hard...last 70 days....I have gone from a 5 to a 11 plus stander this is all down to the right teachers that aloud me to reach this level iam very happy I hope to push to gcse level English would be achievement if I can get this then I could perhaps gert into unervisty doing law and crimologly I did want to be a brain doctor but I don't think I have time now to be that due to age....your right I had my mother say I carnt do or be anything I love your video thankyou we can do it we just do it differently that's all

[@TiffanySunday]

Wow! What amazing courage and progress! Congrats! A friend of mine is 73 and just received his Ph. D. he's not dyslexic, yet it has taken him a while to obtain the degree. There are so many free or inexpensive learning tools available, keep working towards you goal. Have you thought about a brain researcher? Using 3-D imaging? Dyslexics are often gifted at seeing what others miss. Maybe you could discover something about our brains. Thank you for your kind words. Stay strong.

[@whitebeltforlife]

Love your children relentlessly. I am a 32 year old dyslexic that is only coming to understand themselves because school and parents suppressed the truth of my dyslexia.

[@suzukitlr8777]

Whot I can do as a severe dyslexic a lot. but I can see physics all around me. How I did it is as I see all in picture I just learnt it from movement in people and then inputted that information in to physics information then translated to seeing it. This is so cool.

[@johngalyen2315]

If teachers would focus us more on what we are good at and less on reading and spelling we would be better off! I’m not saying that reading and spelling isn’t important but it will come if you relate it more to us!

[@jamesheseltine2011]

Her voice is asmr

[@virat5484]

thanks for sharing experience

[@stephaniebraden3677]

My daughter is brilliant. I highly suspect she is dylsexic and she struggles greatly with spelling. We homeschool and I am researching all kinds different methods to help her. My question is HOW CAN I encourage this "pivot" I her, this "finding solutions" mindset? She is extremely creative and innovative but I'd like to make sure there's an atmosphere that encourages her strengths if that makes sense. ? Thanks for your encouragement!

[@tjamend9872]

That was beautiful - dyslectic and striving entrepreneur. btw i had to look at the title to spell entrepreneur...and again.. :D

[@TiffanySunday]

TJ Thanks! I understand. I miss spell entrepreneur every time! Just did again, thankful for spell check.

[@TiffanySunday]

I miss spelled the word every time I type it. I wrote a book Dyslexia's Competitive Edge, and miss spelled it every time while writing the book. It seems my brain refuses to remember the word.

[@patriciaferrini8652]

At school and at work i always felt shame.

[@aarushigupta6955]

excellent and inspiring talk! there is still a lot of stigma attached to the word "dyslexic". when i found out that i am dyslexic, i was informed about Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci etc were dyslexic too and then i was told, BUT not everybody can be! more than "can do" or "can't do" its also the issue of letting them dream without restriction. and as a community support the community

[@TiffanySunday]

Aarushi Gupta Thanks for the feedback! I love your comment "letting them dream without restriction." This is the real goal to encourage dyslexics to dream and then have a supportive community to help realize their dreams.

[@mattymobbs5125]

I'm 4o and still don't no what my purpose is or talents wish some one could help us

[@Binarali99]

How can I evolve I am dyslexic and stuck I have some great world changing ideas.

[@johngalyen2315]

binar ali you are the only one that has the power! Know ur self! What are you good at? Push yourself is the most important!

[@TiffanySunday]

Always focus on your strengths, when needed use technology to outsource the dyslexia challenges. I use Google Chrome, Grammarly, Siri all the time for spelling. For developing your ideas find a way to capture either in a journal (mind map or on your computer or mobile) join entrepreneurial creative groups, meetups etc. Take one step at a time and keep moving forward.

[@nickicole1068]

48yrs & im stuck in the rut of dyslexia too. Seems worse with age. Gd luck with yours keep trying is all I can say.

[@pramodkumarmallick7888]

I am proud my weaknesses but i try improve this weakness

[@andreavclay1303]

They know is just not convenient we don't make good factory workers,we don't understand why so many extra steps for something that is simply

[@alchoudhury7218]

I am Dyslexic. I can not put my Idea in writing . Lots of up and down in my life for being Dyslexic . I want to collage and get my degree , But I do not know any collage or University where I can go .

[@harinarayanan5525]

Hi call me 8105453255 for college

[@rhysthomas623]

have you tries using mind maps? I find it helps me a lot!

[@jemmarenee2]

Dear madam Sunday, What you are referring to is called a Auditory processing and Phonological disorder. I do not like your views generalisation on Dyslexia, I find it insulting and very upsetting. Not all dyslexics are the same, there are minor to extremely severe dyslexics. The levels that you have achieved. In your education “degrees MBA” 🤨 You would have to be only minor dyslexic, with a photographic memory !.. So please stop running around saying you’re happy to be dyslexic !.. It’s truly insulting. I would do or give anything not to be dyslexic. And if anybody is wondering on how I wrote this message I used my Apple iPhone with Siri. Regards Jemma Renèe Brownless

[@thunderstrike-rw4hn]

[@thunderstrike-rw4hn]

you from the uk?

[@Binarali99]

You need to find you powers find what your good at

[@tiffanysunday9660]

You are correct, sometimes our talents and strengths are buried within dyslexia itself. I am a writer and write every day at work. Without Grammarly or Word Read Out Loud it would not be possible. Go for it!! Dyslexia does not define us!

[@carlryans62]

So ihear of peopl says dyslexia is a gift but a gift mesarie it not a good gift in life there is no room for dyslexic special in south Africa becasue I have it and it not a gife for me but rather people with disabilities and dyslexia should die or never been born

[@mscybercel1858]

Being dyslexic is like being an artist, a picture paints a thousand words. Don't worry about what other people think.

[@mandisambatha5916]

am in south africa i am 22 just fond out i have dyslexia i dnt knw what to do

[@johngalyen2315]

Carl Ryans hey buddy you have an advantage! Just because we are different doesn’t mean it’s bad it’s just we are better at doing things we are only good at! Our struggles do not define us it’s what we make of theses struggles that define us!

[@mscybercel1858]

The word 'correlation' isn't a fancy word for compare, it means measuring many factors against a number of things in creating a scatterplot graph and yes I can't spell coorlation...

[@angrysniper449]

Your numbers and math are flawed, if 1 out of 5 people have a reading disorder then 34 % of entrepreneurship. Stopping selling the cape and gift for reading disorders, why don't you pitch that interventions can be achieved if you actually look at it.

[@larryglatt2548]

I too am Dyslexic, but have been able to overcome some of the issues, Yes, there are different degrees of Dyslexia. I was/am on the milder side, but have other issues such as ADD or ADHD. My physical differences may be unusual, I am left handed/footed or not. Not that I can throw & catch with both hands, but I do left handed for one thing & right handed for other things. I could play both sides of a soccer field (left footed or right footed. I can type this message and not make too many errors (thank goodness for spell check). I was the only boy in typing class & did just ok, but when computers came to be I was in demand. It is true the many Dyslexics are ADD or ADHD, possibly with other issues as well. I am just happy that I have made it to 81 and am functioning very well. Blessing to all the folks that have unusual characteristics.
