"Do you know how diamond experts can tell if a diamond is real or worthless? See, the fake diamonds, are perfect. The real ones, have flaws. And just like that fake people appear perfect. Real people make mistakes and have flaws." That really hit me.

“You were born an original, don’t you dare die a copy” damn

Whoever is reading this, never give up. God is with you.

"Not caring what people think, will be the best choice you'll ever make" Oh so true - that is when you start listening to the inner voice and make decisions that lift yourself up. Self-love all the way.

I am a 6th grader and just a couple of weeks ago, our school made us watch this video. Other kids weren't paying attention, but I was. This video switched my perspective of school and I thank you for sharing us this gratitude. I know you won't see this but if you do, thank you for helping me.

I never knew a 3 minute and 59 second video could change my life forever.

"You were born original, don't you dare die a copy." Oh man, it hit me hard.

”You may not be popular now, but you will be great one day.”

I'm 15 rn and the summer this year really made me into the person i truly am. I stopped caring what others had to say and it made me invincible in a way. Going to school felt better and just being outside my house felt better because i didn't care what others thought of me. My life has been a shitshow filled with depression and anxiety for 3 years all because of societies pressures on me and i still have depressive episodes for months sometimes. But what i'm trying to say is, don't give a fuck about what others think of you because your health and your happiness is more important than what that random person you see at school or work thinks of you. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

I'm just in high school and I felt very identified with the video, one of my biggest challenges has been the fact of not feeling included, being rejected, feeling less than others and not having as many friends as the "popular" ones. I often compare myself with them a lot to the point of feeling very bad almost every day. Watching this video made me cry because I thought I was the only one going through all of that, it really made me think if being popular really matters and I don't need to fit in because I know I'm not like them and I can be different in my own way, I can being judged but it's much better than being fake. man, you literally changed my way of thinking.. i really needed to hear this, thanks.

"you were born original don't you dare die a copy" -John Mason. That hit hard

“The fake diamonds are perfect. The real ones have flaws.” That hit different

"Don't you DARE die a copy." Damn- that hit me deep-

You changed my life. You're like me man, here's mine. When I was in elementary, I liked to dance, I liked to draw, I like to create stuff. Doing these type of things made me who I am right now. But when you go on and on, time passes and you're eventually in 8th grade almost on to high school, and I almost lost interest in type of things that I liked to do because of my "friends" and I wanted to be cool like everyone doing the same stuff they did. But then I realized, the things that make us cool is what we already love to do. So one day when my "friends" told me to stop drawing and it was stupid I said "Then don't be around me then". Just keep on doing what you love and focus on it because that is who you are that makes you cool, just be you, be yourself because God chose to make you this way, to be special like everyone else, like this man and teen.

"The fake diamond is perfect. The real diamond has flaws." That is the best message that I have ever, ever heard. Prince Ea is amazing. He is so poetic.

I can only imagine how he'd lecture his kids

I wish I could’ve got this advice when I was in high school because I screwed up in high school so bad and I regret it every single day. I was so focused on what other people think and trying to please people . Now I’m thinking for myself.
