0:00:04.332,0:00:05.232
one conversation.

0:00:05.232,0:00:06.624
Anwar Dafa-Alla: Typical TEDxsters

0:00:06.624,0:00:08.506
they are dreaming about big stuff.

0:00:08.506,0:00:12.607
How they can do something[br]bigger than themselves.

0:00:12.607,0:00:14.872
And they are dreamers.

0:00:14.872,0:00:17.847
Jim Stoltze: And if you find somebody[br]who shares your dream,

0:00:17.850,0:00:19.734
step up to him or her,

0:00:19.734,0:00:21.847
and ask, "How can I help?"

0:00:21.852,0:00:24.153
"How can I bring your idea further?"

0:00:24.153,0:00:25.948
Y. AlAbdeli: I told him, "I have a dream."

0:00:25.958,0:00:29.168
"I want to bring this experience[br]to Iraq, to Baghdad."

0:00:29.982,0:00:34.555
TEDx is what brought me back[br]to my home country.

0:00:34.555,0:00:37.621
And the reason I waited so many years,

0:00:37.621,0:00:39.851
I didn't want to go empty-handed.

0:00:39.855,0:00:44.230
I found something that could[br]make an impact in my country.

0:00:44.230,0:00:46.066
And in this case, it was TED.

0:00:46.066,0:00:48.711
I started watching videos on TED.com.

0:00:48.711,0:00:51.049
I was really inspired,[br]didn't sleep the whole night.

0:00:51.049,0:00:54.098
The next day, okay,[br]if this thing inspires me,

0:00:54.098,0:00:56.485
then, why not? I'm going to share this

0:00:56.485,0:00:57.958
to my community in Ethiopia.

0:00:57.958,0:00:59.539
Part of my community in Serbia.

0:00:59.539,0:01:00.405
This is my community.[br]

0:01:00.405,0:01:01.230
My community.

0:01:01.230,0:01:05.126
Communities that are tucked away[br]in villages across the world.

0:01:05.126,0:01:08.709
To tell the world that we have[br]great thinkers and great doers.

0:01:08.709,0:01:11.727
The sum of the local is the global.

0:01:11.727,0:01:17.431
Turn off the TV, log off from the Internet[br]and stand up and start doing something!

0:01:17.435,0:01:20.291
With rubber bullets, fire bombs,

0:01:20.291,0:01:24.911
a wall of human chain of young Egyptians

0:01:24.911,0:01:29.084
decided to hold hands to protect a museum.

0:01:29.084,0:01:32.458
It's an opportunity to contribute[br]to their communities

0:01:32.458,0:01:34.611
and change the world in their own way.
