And that life ends at the moment where my wonderful son Ali leaves our world.

Ali, maybe at the time he was 21 and a half.

Ali, he was anything that a father would dream of a son to become.

He was tall and handsome and funny as hell.

Very kind, very generous, very tender, very loving.

very wise, very wise, like painfully wise.

And I can remember vividly that when he, you know, he lived in Boston,

like you did for a while at the time he was studying in Northeastern University.

And he had, so he was in a band and they were planning to tour the US at the time.

And for some reason, he calls us and says, I feel compelled, his exact words,

I feel compelled to come and see you before the tour.

And so I immediately buy him a ticket.

He flies over.

My daughter is here as well.

So, you know, it's like this family get together.

We spend a couple of days together and then he gets this bellyache.

We take him to a hospital.

It's an appendix inflammation, very simple surgery.

But then the surgeon does five mistakes in a row and Ali leaves our world.

And so you may think of this as the end of a father's life.

And you wouldn't blame me if you had hugged him once.

You wouldn't blame me if it was that way.

It was the start of my second life, if you want.

So Ali leaves, Aya, my daughter comes to me four days later.

She says he had a dream that he was everywhere and part of everyone.

Which if you sort of understand spirituality reasonably well,

that basically means you've disconnected from the limits of the physical world.

Your soul is not judged or governed by time or space.

And so if you're outside of the physical limits of your physical form, you're everywhere.

You can see everything.

And if you return back to the source, to God, then you're at the source of where all the spirits or all of the souls come from.

Then you're part of everyone and you know I only understood

that believe it or not six or seven years after he left

when he when he when she told me that he had that dream

and told her about it my very blurry mind this was

four days after I lost my son my blurry mind thought of it as a quota as

if it's my son who in many many ways was my teacher in so many ways was giving me a target,

was saying, make me everywhere and part of everyone.

And at the time, as I said, I was running Google.

So everything I did wasn't, you know, with the intention of reaching billions of people.

And I knew how to do that.

And so I found myself sitting down, you know, of course I cried and then I heard me say,

of course, Habibi, consider it done.

I'll make you everywhere and part of everyone.

And that basically meant that I needed to take Ali's essence, whatever made him who he is.

And my devious plan was to put that in a book,

you know, make that book successful enough so that people who read it tell others about it.

and hopefully through six degrees of separation, a tiny, tiny, tiny part of his essence will move from you to someone else,

to someone else, to someone else.

And eventually Ali will be everywhere and part of everyone.

And so that book was Solved for Happy,

which was the summary of the journey I lived with Ali at the times where I had my first life.

So in my first life, I was extremely successful.

I was printing money on demand.

I had everything that everyone dreams of.

Google this.

Even before Google.

In my early 20s, because of my programming and math abilities,

1996, I wrote a piece of code before Google that would scout the internet for insider information about stocks

and basically does the mathematics of technical analysis on every stock chart.

And every morning I'd wake up in the morning

and my code would have run overnight after the market closes in the U.S to recommend to me four buys

and four sets.

And I was literally printing money on demand.

I remember once my wonderful wife then, she's now my ex but still wonderful, would come to me and say, we need to change the car.

And I'm like, yeah, what are you looking for?

And she says, I need this.

And, you know, let's buy this.

And I was like, that's going to have to be Wednesday, you know, because the market opens Monday.

I trade on Monday and Tuesday and the money is available Wednesday.

This was just a joke, honestly.

And at the time I was so miserable, so miserable.

And it's really a testimony to what the nature of happiness is that I, you know, I just couldn't go on.

And Ali was the one that basically helped me understand the reality of happiness.

My mathematical brain would think of it algorithmically, and then I would go to him and explain what I understand.

And he would look at me and entertain me with a couple of questions as if he's interested.

And then would tell me, you could have asked me, like, I know that stuff in my heart.

and so he would tell it to me in a way

that you know a normal human not a mess machine would understand and so

when he left our world i just had to write what

he taught me down i mean i was driven by

that idea of making him everywhere and part of everyone

but i was also driven by the idea of not forgetting what he taught me

and uh and so solve for happy became a mega best seller.

I think we're approaching a million copies by now.

And I left Google, and I have basically, I started something that I call 1 billion happy.

And yeah, I wake up every morning attempting to make a few people happier

or attempting to remove a reason for unhappiness in the world.

And between those two, you asked me, why do I do what I do?

I mean, what better could you do in life?

My wonderful, my daughter, you know, one day came to me and said, you should know that God paid you in advance.

I was like, what do you mean?

And she said, And it's true.

I'm born and raised in Egypt, public school, public university in Egypt.

You don't get to be chief business officer Google X with that, honestly.

I was born with this math abilities and technical abilities.

And then I went so far, way beyond what I deserve, if you want.

And Aya is so clever.

She comes and she says,

100

you've been paid in advance you're going to be assigned the duty to pay back what you've been given.

101

And to be very, very honest, I honestly have not worked a single day since I wake up in the morning,

102

I think deeply about a topic, put it on the pages of a book, and people read it.

103

Can you imagine the privilege of putting your thoughts on paper and someone reads it, right? and then

104

I travel the world and meet wonderful people like you

105

and go speak at important events and it's just been a dream to be honest,

106

that's why I do it Was it easier to deal with your loss in the years that unfolded after Ali's passing?

107

Was year zero the hardest, year one a little easier or has it all been extremely challenging from then until now.

108

Wow.

109

What a question.

110

It's been the hardest thing ever.

111

I think it's the hardest thing a loving father would ever feel.

112

Until this minute.

113

So every time, most people don't know this, every time you bring up Ali, I feel a physical pain right here.

114

It's physical.

115

It's almost like I always say that the bottom right-hand side of my heart is missing.

116

And I pinpointed, I know exactly where it is.

117

It's so weird.

118

But it's been the best thing that ever happened, believe it or not.

119

Since the minute he left, myself and his wonderful mother,

120

Nibel is a very, very, very loving person.

121

And Ali was everything.

122

And she's emotional and she's delicate and she's feminine.

123

And both of us, I mean, Habibti, when he died, she said, take me to him.

124

And I said, no, I don't advise that.

125

She said, just take me to him.

126

Okay, I need to say goodbye.

127

And so she walks into the intensive care room.

128

He's gone.

129

And what does she say?

130

She kisses him on the forehead and says, Habibi, you're finally home.

131

You're finally home.

132

That is so true.

133

This angel wasn't from here.

134

He was not from here.

135

And by the way, we all know that this is not home.

136

This is just a passage where, you know, you stop under a tree for a while.

137

And that eventually, when you give up on your physical form, that's where real home is.

138

And it's so interesting because I'm born Muslim, I studied Islam very deeply,

139

and in a very interesting way, we know deep inside us

140

that there is a big gift if you lose a child

141

and you're steady and you're sort of accepting

142

and you don't rebel against the divine and curse everything and why me and all of that.

143

And I can easily tell you, I'm very stoic in my nature, but I couldn't imagine that Nibel wouldn't go there.

144

But some kind of weird blessing just came onto both of us in a very unusual way.

145

We literally, literally, not for a second, were disgruntled about it.

146

So the pain that we feel is the pain of missing him, which is an incredible sign of how much we love him.

147

But we don't feel that we were betrayed by life.

148

We don't feel that this doctor is evil.

149

We don't feel that we never did.

150

And you have to question that because in my physics mind,

151

I had to start thinking about the interesting sequence of events in the world.

152

You can look at events in your life and think of them in chronological order.

153

Like I landed in Riyadh and then I drove here and then I met you.

154

That's the chronological unfolding of events that the human brain understands.

155

But if you think deeper, you can think of things in causality, in causal order.

156

So, you know, someone needs to hear what I'm about to say.

157

And so accordingly, I ended up here to meet you.

158

And accordingly, you ended up, or we were introduced by Sarah.

159

And so, you know how, and if you think of fate as one of the threads through which things happen,

160

then almost the same day, I was so surprised by my car.

161

I was even more surprised by Nibel's car.

162

And I had to tell myself maybe that promise, and I still pray that every day, that promise that if you lose a child,

163

he's gonna hold your hand and take you to heaven.

164

when you leave as well.

165

Maybe if you think about it from a causality point of view, in the absence of time, that has already happened.

166

And because it happened, I had to stay calm.

167

Do you understand?

168

And Nibel had to stay calm.

169

We had no choice because that's already written in space-time.

170

And, or, you know, beyond life is not space-time, but it's already written in fate, if you want.

171

And it blew my mind that until today, I never had a minute where I said, why did you do this?

172

Why did you take him?

為什麼用這個影片練習口語？

看YouTube學英語是提升口語的高效方式，這個影片以真實的人生故事為背景，包含豐富的情感表達和日常對話場景，非常適合shadow speak練習。演講者用質樸的語言講述失去兒子的痛苦與重生，其中的停頓、重音和情感起伏能幫助學習者掌握自然的口語節奏，同時理解英語在表達深刻情感時的用法。通過shadowing這種故事性內容，不僅能提高英語發音，還能增強語言的感染力和表達的流暢度。

語境中的語法與表達

過去完成時的使用：“he had a dream that he was everywhere” 體現了過去的過去發生的動作，用於描述在“告訴女兒”之前已存在的夢境，是講述過去事件時梳理時間線的關鍵語法。
情感副詞的疊加：“very kind, very generous, very tender” 通過重複“very”強化情感，這種口語化表達在日常對話中很常見，能讓語言更生動。
條件狀語從句：“if you return back to the source... then you're part of everyone” 展示了“if...then...”結構在邏輯推理中的應用，幫助學習者掌握複雜思想的表達。

常見發音陷阱

影片中部分單詞的發音需要注意：“compelled”的重音在第二音節，容易被誤讀為第一音節；“devious”的“i”發短音，不要讀成長音；“appendix”的複數形式雖未出現，但單數發音“əˈpendɪks”需注意尾音的清子音。此外，演講者的口語化停頓（如“you know”“like”）也是shadow speech練習的重點，要模仿其自然的換氣節奏，避免生硬。通過反覆shadowing這些細節，能有效提高英語發音的準確性和口語的自然度。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	is not judged · was driven · was also driven
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	you've disconnected · you've been paid · have not worked
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	people who read · him, which is

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
