Thinking of giving what we lack is widely seen as a noble act globally. A student with a similar generous spirit and mindset serves as a perfect example.
In a heartwarming display of selflessness, a 17-year-old Malaysian student with low vision has captured the attention and admiration of netizens for his noble aspirations to aid the visually impaired.
Shared by motivational speaker, Muhammad Faris, @muhammad_fareast, a video featuring the determined student has quickly gone viral, garnering over 288k views and hundreds of touching comments.
During a two-day program organized by the school at Seberang Perai Polytechnic, Faris was invited by the Psychology Unit to give talk to the students for one of the slots.
Among the crowd, a standout individual drew attention – a student who uses a typewriter-like Braille.
Muhammad Faris, who was present at the event, shared his surprise at the student’s unexpected and inspiring dream.
During a short but impactful speech, the student expressed a heartfelt note, “I hope I have the vision to heal like a normal person. After that, I hope to create a charity fund for low vision people to help the blind and short-sighted in the future.”
Not forgetting his parents’ sacrifices, he aspires to amass wealth to repay the invaluable sacrifices they’ve made for him.
“He has a heart of gold”
Speaking to WeirdKaya, Faris shared his admiration for the young man, stating, “To me, he has a heart of gold. His sight may be limited, but his heart sees boundlessly, painting a world of empathy and understanding.”
Faris emphasized that it was unusual for students, especially those facing personal challenges, to express a desire to contribute to others.
He added, “I feel very lucky and proud to have met an extraordinary young man like him, and I believe he is special in his own way.”
In a society often marked by negative stigma, especially surrounding mental health, Faris hopes that the student’s example will inspire more young individuals to not only pursue personal success but also aspire to contribute and help society.
Netizens felt for the lad’s touching thoughts
The motivational video has sparked a positive response from netizens who were deeply moved by the student’s thoughtful intentions.
They showered blessings upon him, hoping for his success in achieving his dreams.
“Looking at his shoes, it breaks my heart. You’ll be successful one day!”
“Allah, I am moved, may you succeed one day.”
“Brother, I’ll prays for your success one day, amen!! Pray a lot so that one day God will grant all your dreams.”
“One day, you will make your parents proud! I believe in that.”
This touching story serves as a reminder that even in the face of personal challenges, individuals like the Malaysian teen are capable of envisioning a brighter future for themselves and others, showcasing the transformative power of compassion and determination.
