@askvinh: I keep looking at these photos and thinking about the little boy in them. He grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, the son of a refugee family. English was his third language. He moved high schools five times, experienced bullying along the way, and dropped out of university. And somehow, years later, he would write a book about communication that would reach people around the world. It’s hard to put into words what this moment means to me and my family. Of course, being on the list is pretty incredible too 😂 I’d say that accounts for approximately 27% of my excitement. But the other 73% is because I hope this moment reminds you of something. If you struggle to find the words, if you feel nervous speaking up, or if you’ve ever felt like your voice isn’t enough, please don’t give up on yourself. Communication is a set of skills you can learn. You can practise. You can grow. And over time, those skills can help you share more of who you are with the world. To everyone who has read, shared or supported Before We Forget How to Connect, thank you for being part of this journey with me ❤️ Keep shining your light. You never know who it might reach ✨
