This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.
Although absent due to the recur of his unwellness, Johnny's inspiring speech record still gave a mental baptism to all of us. From a young age, he started to realize the power of purpose and the fulfillment of having a goal to work toward. When he was really unwell with mental illness, he was losing his sense of purpose in the world that truly lead him to an attempt to end his life. But fortunately a pass by stranger talked him out of suicide attempt. He then launched a documentary, "Finding Mike", to find the person who saved his life and to raise awareness of mental illness and suicide. Each and every human being always has a purpose, in spite of any adversity that they may experience. It is something we need to constantly remind each other that we possess, not just the very youngest members of our society.
