Azeem truly motivational

Azeem seems to have been against immense odds to even be alive into his 20's. Born with a brain injury, he has to prepare for his interactions with others much more than you and I do. Azeem recognized one of the angels in his life, Dr. Edmunds from Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Dr. Edmunds suggested to Azeem that he become a motivational speaker.
 
Azeem overcame but not without adversity. Azeem has to be taught everything, even something as routine as breathing, Azeem is one of fewer than 40 people in the world with this condition of a lesion in the brain stem.
 
Azeem had to first conquer this adversity, to remember how to breathe and go on to, first challenge Seneca College's first reply to his application as declined and then graduate one of three of a total of 28 people with honours in Radio Broadcasting.
 
Today he has presented and spoken to more than 60,000 students, 1,500 school superintendents and corporate people.
 
Azeem gives much credit to his parents, who have worked incessantly to help teach him concepts. Azeem learns differently that most, through constant repetition, perserverance, faith, courage and optimism.
 
Azeem has learned to hit his challenges head on. He graduated from High School with more credits than he required. He was tempted to quit many times but he quickly replaced this temptation with perserverance. The same perserverance that drove him to write his autobiography.

Azeem resisted a lot ot human temptations, including the opportunity to have revenge on one student who had previously shunned him. Azeem's goal is to help others become aware of people with challenges -to encourage the rest of us to look at what others are able to do, not what they are not.
 
Just as Azeem did with his presentation to our club.
