"It's not what other people say that really matters, it's what you think of yourself. If you think that you can't do it, then you can't. But even if an adult says you probably can't do it, but you believe in yourself, then you'll probably succeed. You just need to believe."
kid, you're making me cry. please don't ever stop thinking that^

If we "grownups" listened more to "kids", we might learn a thing or two.

NEVER underestimate one's intellect, no matter the age.

Just watched this with my kid. Mega inspiring even for adults! Love it!

Wow these children have such amazing inventions that I think can be very useful in the world today! They did an amazing job and I wish them all nothing but success! And that one boy is right you just have to believe in yourself and not worry about what others think! Do what you think is right and believe in yourself and you will have success! It is like the song power of yet that one of the teachers at my job shared with the kids. Give that a listen!
