E10 (Part Three): Zia & Khushal Yousafzai - Countries With More Equality Do Better
In this final part of this epic conversation we dive deep into the lived experience of the family. They share what it was like when Malala was shot, to suddenly find themselves in another country and how it impacted on Khushal and his relationship with his dad.
There are some wonderfully funny moments towards the end which I hope will bring some joy to your soul. Enjoy.
0.50 - Why are the Taliban against education and should we feel bad for them because they haven't had a good education that teaches them to be good humans?
4.29 - Should we fund education in poor countries if they are teaching sexism?
6.36 - What were your emotions when the accident happened and had to move to the U.K.?
8.09 - Finding yourself in a new culture as a stranger is difficult and all you've got is your family
10.35 - Feels like a never ending dream. At school Khushal felt insecure, he was scared of people making fun of him, he was isolated. He thought if I'm going to improve I’m gonna have get out of my comfort zone.
14.11 - It took Khushal 7/8 years to figure out what happened to him, he underestimated how much it affected him, he needed counselling for his mental health struggles.
15.38 - You cannot fix irrational thoughts with irrational thoughts.
27.13- Nobody’s perfect. Stop trying to be perfect so you can be good, and be yourself because everyone else is taken. Perfect is impossible.
29.47 - How has it been for the family after Malala became famous and well known?
31.20- Does Khushal get jealous of Malala's fame? Are the boys living in Malala's shadow?
35.24 - Khushal would give his success up for Malala's success. When Khushal was in school he came 3rd. Malala came 2nd. Khushal came home and cried not because his sister beat him but be cause he wanted Malala to be 1st.
37.41 - You’ve got to learn from consequences, when you repeat a mistake, it's self sabotage.
39.17 - If the environment, culture and way of life hadn't been changed by Zia, Malala couldn't of been the inspiration she is today. The first male a girl sees is her father who is also the first male that can decide her fate.
42.00 - Zia didn't cut Malala’s wings, he let her fly, he believed in her, they are an equal family.
45.50 - ‘Let’s wrap it up’ - Zia continues to talk which leaves Khushal in stitches laughing.
47.15 - Can change be successful if we only focus on the girls?
48.00- Happiness is the ultimate goal in life.
51.30- Men should come forward to support girls, it would help families and communities be happier. Countries with more equality do better, they are more prosperous, they are happier, wealthier and safer.
54.12- To make change we have to focus on the young boys. Education is what separates us from animals. ‘’A bird can fly better with two wings rather than one’’.
55.00- We’re finally done- it’s midnight!
