ROBIN WILLIAMS

If you’re not familiar with who Robin Williams is - he is an American actor and comedian. 
He worked on masterpieces like Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, and many more.

He may have grown up having a privileged life, but he missed out on a key aspect of childhood.
His parents were never home, and they always left him with the family maid.
He would entertain himself by creating silly voices and characters locked in his bedroom. 

Through his jokes and putting on shows for his bullies in school, he made friends. 
He won an acting scholarship to the most prestigious school in the country. 

While studying, he performed as a mime to earn money.
He was depressed and desperate.
One day, he found a flyer for a comedy workshop and turned up with no expectations.
Standing alone on stage took him back to when he would entertain his bullies.
Finally, he let out the silly voices, and the crowd loved him!

He is the ideal example of finding humor in the darkest of times, always making people laugh. 
He dedicated his life to making those around him always smile. 

Robin Williams teaches us how empathy comes from a deep place of sadness.
We can use that to empower others by just bringing a smile to their faces.
