The greatness of weakness | Rita Yahan-Farouz | TEDxTelAviv

www.tedxtelaviv.com
From her early days as a child in Tehran, to her acceptance by the Israeli audience and onto her brave decision to record an authentic, Persian album ("My Joys"), Rita takes us on a sentimental journey, which is all about turning one's weaknesses (or rather, one's self perceived weakness) - into strength. Self-belief, listening to your gut-feeling and having conviction, are all elements to which a person should stay true to and Rita's speech is an honest, courageous reminder of that.
Produced by Gilad Adin www.giladadin.com/
Rita Yahan-Farouz is Israel's best known, most popular female singer. Prior to her TEDxTelAviv speech, one might have thought they know everything there is to know about Israel's greatest performer. However, in her speech, Rita revealed unknown sides of her personality, her past and the difficulties an artist goes through, along their creative path.
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

[@Gideon01]

The Israeli people have never hated the Iranian people, and still don't. Why would they? The problem is the Iranian regime. Before Khomeini's revolution there used to be great friendship between the two countries. I am surprised that Rita did not mention this.

کاکو ناراحت نباش دنیا محل گذر. در ضمن وقتی من دوست داشته باشم همه دنیا دوستت داره..سرود مجلس جمشید گفته اند این بود که جام باده بیاور که جم نخواهد ماند چه جای شکر و شکایت به نقش نیک وبد است چو بر صحیفی هستی رقم نخواهد ماند رسید مژده که ایام غم نخواهد ماند چونان نماند و چنین نیز هم نخواهد ماند. حافظ شیرازی

Be patient. Iran and Israel will be very good friends. Free Iran.

[@iranianagainsmullahs]

ریتا جان، ابدا مهم. نیست که تو ایرانی کلیمی هستی افتخار کن که فرزند کورش هستی. به تو افتخار می‌کنیم. اینکه پدرت میگفت که مهم اینست که پندار نیک گفتار نیک و رفتار نیک داشته باشی، نشان میده که یک ایرانی واقعی هستی. زنده باشی.. به تو درود میفرستم.
