    Obama is an amazing human. I'm not even American nor have I ever cared much about any US presidents before, but I would look for Obama interviews because I just like to hear him talk, I always learn something from him. He is just a great role model for ANYONE in this world.

    I cannot recall any other speaker in any field or of any race that has so much grace, dignity, humor, fluidity, and warmth when they speak. His very being inspired me during my years in law school. I sat up straighter in my seat, carried myself with more dignity, an answered my professors' with more confidence even when the courses were kicking my butt. The man was born to be an orator of hope and change. While I did not agree with all of his politics, I surely miss his dignified manner in Washington.

    The Minute Obama takes the Podium, he is able to put words into sentences that are not only convincingly true, but tantalise us to depict a vivid picture of a hopeful future..and as the saying goes " " "pictures speak louder than words"..even when envisioned in our mind.
    The second when misty copeland footsteps onto the stage, her feathery way of executing complicated movements, makes you easily mesmerised and you feel the cadence of the notes, soothing that hidden part of our soul that is voiceless .
