Maestro Pandith Amaradewa.

  Pandith W.D. Amaradewa.   Sri Lankabhimanya Wannakuwattawaduge Don Albert Perera, better known by his adopted name Pandith Amaradeva , was a prominent Sri Lankan vocalist, violinist, and composer who did an incomparable service to Sri Lankan music by incorporating Sinhala folk music with Indian ragas into his work.

An inspirational video on how to overcome challenges by being yourself.

  The speech on how to overcome challenges and stop comparing yourself to others by Dean Furness was really a different experience for me.

According to his speech, a five-foot-tall, 700 pound bale of hay had fallen on him while he was going to feed their horses.

After listening to Dean's speech, I first felt really sorry for him and his situation. But when deeply analysing the ideas he brou...
