The Power of a Simple Step! | Dima AlBasha | TEDxBeaconStreet

When faced with seemingly insurmountable events, we tend to overlook the simple steps that could make a huge difference in our lives.

After a heartbreaking war in her hometown of Aleppo, Syria, Dima realized the power of a simple step and its immeasurable impact on the lives of others.

In this talk, she explains how in the most difficult of times, simple actions touch the hearts of the people around us and bring out the best in them. Dima believes that this is true for any hard times we might face in our lives.
