The Power and Importance of...READING! | Luke Bakic | TEDxYouth@TBSWarsaw 

This took me back to my childhood. I too, used to read just about everywhere, car rides, dinner table, even toilet.. But these days I read less and less, and yes that is because of screens.. Thank you Luke for reminding us, you are such an incredible young man. Hopefully my kids will love reading just as much

As a reading instructor in an elementary school, I wholeheartedly agree! Reading develops the brain in so many ways. Keep it up!

Who else are here cause of school :>

What an absolutely remarkable and inspiring boy! At just 9 years old, he's showcasing wisdom and passion beyond his years. Luke's perspective on the power and importance of reading is truly enlightening. It's incredible to see such a young mind advocating for the value of books in today's society. Luke eloquently expresses how great readers become great writers, communicators, and persuaders, ultimately contributing to the creation of good societies. His enthusiasm for reading shines through as he shares his personal adventures through various books, from classics like 'Winnetou' to beloved series like 'Harry Potter' and 'The Unwanteds'. I love how Luke describes reading as "love in action," highlighting the endless positives it brings to his life, from impressive vocabulary to the joy of getting lost in a good story. His creative anecdotes about hiding behind flower pots and reading everywhere are both hilarious and endearing. It's refreshing to hear Luke's call to the young generation to hold on to the art of reading amidst the distractions of modern technology. He reminds us that books can take us on adventures, introduce us to new worlds and people, and ultimately enrich our lives in countless ways. Kudos to Luke Bakic for delivering such an impactful talk! He is certainly a bright, intelligent, and passionate advocate for the magic of reading. Here's to hoping his message inspires many others, young and old, to pick up a book and embark on their own incredible adventures. 📚✨

This competent, conscious and strong speech of the child proves the benefits of reading as well as possible. This is a direct illustrative example

I want him to teach me how to be confident like that.

What an incredible speech! This means a lot to my children, and I will definitely share this video with my kids. Perhaps, this will be able to motivate and encourage them to read books instead of spending so much time on screens only playing games or utilizing social media. Thank you so much. You're such an awesome young man. I really appreciate it. Good work! Keep it up!

Incredible young man with confidence, natural leadership and speaking skills. Keep up the excellent work!

Luke, you make the world a better place. Keep teaching all of us what's important & what things are wasting our time. I love reading a real book, holding it in my hands and anticipating the surprise that appears as I turn the page. I've never felt alone because I always have a good book to read.

The knowledge and his confidence is amazing!

This young man is wise beyond his years! A message everyone should hear and adhere too!👏

My gosh, this small man is so cute and persuasive. He's already a leader in society.

He is also the proof of his message. Well done, child.

Books can take you back in time, improve your vocabulary, and make you see things in a totally different way in just one hour.

I am learning so much from watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing source of information. This one is quite helpful.

The problem today is most people always think that, you only need a good job to get rich... These millionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't know exists...

He's wiser than most adults. Good on you Luke.

This video really motivation me and make me feel confident thank you

Talk about it is so necessary nowadays, and watching a child talking about this topic, it is incredible!

i like this presentation so much because it helps me be aware of the benefits of reading books for myself.

Reading and communicating is key.

This is next-level content. A corresponding book I read was a significant milestone. "The Art of Saying No: Mastering Boundaries for a Fulfilling Life" by Samuel Dawn

Great , inspiration giving speech!!

Because of school we watch that so much, my head is banging in the floor. Some apps and games are important for us. Many peoples dont stay 6 hours like he said. Yes it's makes our vacabulary so good. Thank you berry🍓 much!. Thie video was recommended by my class teacher. Bye

I totally impressed with this children's confidence , what a magnificent speech he delivered.

After a long time got the best learning from a kid. Thank you :)

The Reading is word.Every Time you Can visit a New places

reading is love in action !!!!

in my opinion very motivating and very beneficial for many people

Wonderful Speaker and Persuader!! I love books too!!! The Bible being my favorite- comprised of 66 smaller books with wonderful food for thought!! :-)

In this TED talk, Luke Bakic talks about the importance of reading. Over the past years, he had read many books, and they all took him on such an adventure. He loved reading in places like his bed, on the move while walking, in the toilet, in queues, in vehicles, and, more importantly, at home. He hid behind various corners of his house so nobody could find him and make him do anything else. According to him, nothing is better in the universe when you have an excellent book to keep you company. Reading is love in action. He usually never had to study for spelling tests, which made his vocabulary so good that it quickly impressed any grown-up. He assumes that while modern technology wonders have their place, the young generation has to hold on to reading; it's the key to our kingdom. While Luke Bakic's love for reading is impressive, his ideas have some potential disadvantages. Firstly, excessive reading in unconventional places, like while walking or in queues, can pose safety risks. Additionally, hiding from reading instead of participating in other activities may lead to ignoring responsibilities or missing out on meaningful experiences. Finally, while reading is powerful, it's essential to realize that different individuals have different learning styles, and other forms of engagement and exploration are also beneficial. So it's just about finding the right balance.

i agree your ideas, learn books is so important to us, the books help turn us more inteligent

Love his honesty and courage to come out like a lion. ❤️

Name : Irene puspita theresia sihombing From : landak, west kalimantan, Indonesia My comment are - Everything he said is true because it's happening right now and that's the reality - It is so true that without reading we would not have good societies - This greatly motivates me that when it comes to being a good reader we can make a writer which, a good writer will make good communication and good communication will make good speakers and good speakers will make very good persuaders - maybe Many children today may prefer gadgeds, intagrams, and social media over books but we have to continue to direct children that books can change themselves even the world if they are determined Thanks for your video it so motivating for millenials

Mann this is so good 💯 seriously helped in school

Amazing kid! He will go places.

Wish I could read more books ☺️📚

Very impressed on this young man. I agree with this video, the youth this generation involves with all this social media and video games. Students lack the knowledge of reading skills because of today’s technology. I’m not saying technology is bad because it can help but in an educational way as well. Picking up a book that can have an interest of choice can really make a difference on how reading can also be fun.

much Grace .... my kids inspired by your advice

Perfect example of being ageless. It doesn't matter how old you are because it's knowledge which makes you an experienced person not just your age. And it's only possible if you love book reading

Inspirational and justified speech ever

my teacher just sent me this.

His speech is a solid representation of what he is saying :)))

I never leave comments but little homie crushed this!!

Know how long school is for many infants? 6 hours. Due to the lockdown, many children are stuck at home with a screen. He has a point, I’m just saying most of that screen-time can possibly be school, especially if they have classes like computing.

what if you are doing online school and you have to online

This boy is so talented and he is doing presentation

Little Flower School Aroor, Kerala, India love this video....❤

This young lad comes across as a CEO of a big tech firm. 👏

The narrative of this content is deeply engaging. A similar book I read provided a fresh perspective. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
