Passion In a Cup | Yahia Zaki | TEDxYouth@BedayiaSchool

In this inspiring talk, a journey is shared from childhood struggles on the cold streets of London — delivering newspapers to make a living — to building a life shaped by purpose and perseverance. Through setbacks, sacrifice, and years of uncertainty, it explores why success is built not on talent alone, but on discipline, resilience, and a clear sense of why.
