Hydrocephalus is a condition, whereas the human head stores an excessive amount of water, making it much bigger than the normal size. This condition can be fatal, especially when it is not provided with the right treatment.
But a toddler in New Delhi, India was an exception. Roona Begum became the headlines of the news when she was rushed to the hospital in 2013. During that time the size of her head was around 37 inches, but now, it is only 23 inches.
There was a reduction of 38% in the size of her head. It means that the excessive water inside was also reduced miraculously.
It was considered a miracle because the doctor thought that she would not be alive because of her condition.
But her parents, Abdul Rahman and Fatima Khatun still hope that Roona will recover soon. Even if she is still in danger, they are having visions of her doing things that a normal child would do.
Advertisements are there mostly to show the products that they had been promoting. But some ads were created to give awareness to other people.
Just like this one which was created by the New Zealand Government. It is a short clip that will show you two drivers, one which is supposed to cross the street and the other one was driving fast.
Both of them had a decision not to give way. They wanted to push through with driving. The fast driver stepped on the gas making the speed much faster and the other driver did not yield.
The cars stopped and gave them a chance to talk and they've realized their faults, but it was already too late.
It is better to be careful rather than lose a life because of the mistake that everyone can do when they are driving.
Let's keep our minds open about the possible results that our actions can have when we're driving. Always be careful. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
It is really a good advertisement to raise awareness for the people to drive safely. What can you say about this advertisement? Share us your thoughts below.
Disability is not something that you should be ashamed of. Instead, someone with disabilities should even be proud of themselves for continuously fighting to live normally.
Another inspiration came from a 37-year old man Claudio Vieira de Oliveira from Brazil. He is born different from others because of his rare condition, congenital arthogryposis.
*Picture*
In his condition, he is living his life, even though he has a deformed backbone and limbs which resulted in an upside down form of his body parts.
The doctors said that Claudio would die when he was born. There are no treatments for his condition.
But his mother continued fighting for his son's life. He treated him like a normal kid growing up despite of his disability. He was carried until 8 years old. And he was determined to walk by himself and learned to walk on his knees.
Then he begged his mother to let him go to classes and live normally.
Because of his hard work and dedication, he finished with a degree in Accountancy at Feira de Santana State University. He is also a speaker, motivating more people.
The President of Uruguay, Jose Mujica is being tagged as the "World's Poorest President". Despite the negative term of being poor, this president is surely one of the most generous politician there is.
From the moment that he stepped up to serve the country in 2010 up to present, he consistently donates 90% of his monthly income of $12, 0000 to the charity. He might not have the most luxurious things, but he had won the hearts of his countrymen. Many appreciates and have benefited from Mujica's actions.
He is not like any other president in the world. He refused to stay in the elegant presidential house. He also goes to his meeting wearing simple clothes
This man chose to humbly live a simple life with his wife and dog. Even his car is just a simple one.
Back in the previous years, Mujica was a member of the guerilla. They were the Robin Hoods of the poor. Their aim is to rob bad banks and give the money to the poor. He was shot 6 times and imprisoned for 14 years.
According to Mujica, "The poorest is the one who needs a lot to live. My lifestyle is a consequenc of my wounds. I'm the son of my history. There have been many years when I would have been happy just to have a mattress."
Mujica is a living legend that everyone should look up to. His generosity towards the needy is the best attribute that he has.
An incredible gesture of generosity was shown by an officer named Zac Ropos from Lake County.
He saw a 4th-grader who was taking up classes in a nearby school create her own lemonade stand and try to save up to buy an iPad. At a cost of 50 cents, the officer knew that it was impossible to claim the iPad even though she work hard for it.
So the Officer decided to put a huge smile on the face of Garbriella Garcar. He spoke with Gabby's mother and wanted to bring his old iPad but it was already broken.
Then, the next day the office bought a brand new tablet for the little girl who showed effort to get what she wanted.
Gabby created a letter and gave all the money that she got from selling lemonades to the kind hearted officer.
"That’s how it is at Lake County. Everyone is caring here. We all give our shirt off our back for people."
It is great to see how people inside the community work together to achieve what they want and put smiles on everyone's faces.

But later on, Chan decided to resign from work and good thing that his friend introduced him to become a virtual assistant which gave him the opportunity to focus more on his studies.
Until now, Howard Chan could not believe that he is now a lawyer. It is the fruit of his never ending perseverance.
Now that he has the chance, Howard would like to give back to the people and focus on the issue involving workers' rights specifically, "Contractualization".
A home is not just about the place, but it is about the love in the family. Our parents are the reason why we live in this planet. They are the ones responsible for taking care of us. They do everything from bathing, cleaning, feeding and even taking us to classes which leads to graduating with a degree.
But there are several countries that have a practice of sending the elderly in nursing homes. A place where the old people are being taken care of by other people. It may sound sad, but this is true.
This story will make you realize how lucky you are. It revolves around a son who promised his parents that he will be giving them the most beautiful home. His mother passed away and the father suffered from stroke. The father got nowhere else to live so his son decided to let him live with them. His wife took care of his father but she has gone tired of cleaning, feeding and bathing.
But the son never gave up on his father. He was determined to give back all the love and care that his father gave him when he was still young.

"Their hearts beat as one for as long as I could remember" This is what the bereaved daughter, Aimee Toczko-Cushman of a couple who recently passed away in each other's arms said.
Alexander and Jeanette had been seeing each other since they were 8 years old. They knew it from the start that they would be the one for each other.
The couple had been together for 75 years since marrying each other way back in 1940. On that day, they took a vow to love each other until eternity.
When Alexander suffered from a broken hip he got bedridden. A few days after, Jeanette's health became worse as well. She became very ill. So the local hospital provided them with a room with beds that they could share.
"Wait for me, I'll be there soon" This was the last words of Jeanette right after her loving husband Alexander passed away. Then few hours before the end of the day Jeanette followed her husband to the other side.
The nurses of the local hospice were touched by this amazing moment. They were surprised by how this couple was dedicated to be together until their last breath.
They left a wonderful family consisting of 5 children, 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
Superheroes come in different shapes and appearances, but not all of them have superpowers. Some don't even need a cape or a costume to show that they can help someone.
And being a hero doesn't always mean to sacrifice your life for someone else. Sometimes it can be as simple as saving a family of ducks from the storm drain.
If you are going to see the video, it appears that these guys were trying to get something from the storm drainage. It seems like it is something that is valuable like a gadget or precious material.
Using their handheld fish-net they reached for the drainage and to your surprise you will that it was a bunch of ducklings that fell off the drainage.
As soon as the ducklings were saved from the drainage, they immediately went to their mother duck and reunited.
It is surprising to see that there are still good people who care for the animal despite knowing that it is not their obligation to help it.
This is a tremendous act done by these two amazing gentlemen. Let's wish that the people could be surrounded by more of this kind of people.
Being an Overseas Filipino Worker is not easy. Aside from the fact that they are working hard to give their family a Degree in college or to provide the money to pay their classes and electricity bills. What is more difficult is that they are thousands of miles away from their loved ones.
But with the help of technology, the loneliness that they are feeling are now being lessen through the help of Conference Call and Video Calling using Skype, families are now bonded together.
But a very talented kid found a nice way to comfort her mother who is working abroad.
She told her mom, "Ma, kakantahan ulit kita ha?" (Mom, I will sing for you again) and the beat for the hit Taylor Swift song, Blank Space started playing. She sang in front of the webcam for her mother to see and feel how much she missed her.
Her mother started crying because of the comfort that the daughter was giving to her mom.
It is not the first time that this kid sang to her mother. She also has a video whereas she was singing Cristina Perri's, Jar of Hearts. The reaction of her mother was priceless. The little effort of singing made his mom so happy and inspired to work harder than she did before.
It is amazing how a simple act and effort could make our parents happier. What can you say about this talented kid who eases away the pain and sadness that her mother is feeling? Share your thoughts below.
If you want to attain a high goal like being an Attorney/Lawyer, you must be able to finish a degree first. And with that you must be hardworking and determined to reach for your dreams.
But here in the Philippines, where poverty is one of the main problems that the country is fighting against. A lot of children who do not have much are forced to study with what they have.
Even if you have nothing, it is not supposed to be a hindrance to attaining your goals in life.
This photo of a young boy will surely melt your hearts because of his perseverance in studying. The photo was taken on a sidewalk in Cebu, Philippines.
The photo of the boy who was eagerly studying on the sidewalk to finish a homework for his English subject was taken by Joyce Torrefranca and it has gone viral over the social media sites.
It is really heartbreaking how this child studies in a noisy sidewalk with not enough lighting while some student who has the opportunity to study just wastes it. They do not realize what they have and they are taking it for granted.
According to Joyce, "As a student it gave me an inspiration to work harder. I'm fortunate my parents were able to send me to school. I seldom go to coffee shops to study, but this kid just hit me. You really don't need much, you just have to be determined and focused on the things that you want to achieve. I hope that this kid will inspire millions of people."
The story of this kid is really inspiring. Let's hope that the fortunate people would donate something for this kid to help him study better. What could you say about this kid's determination? Share your thoughts below.
They say that the people who have less are the people who can give more. This is definitely what a homeless man proved after a social experiment was made.
The social experiment was to see if a homeless man with barely nothing would help out a man who parked his car and forgot to pay the meter. This experiment was made by Johal a Youtube, Blogger who intentionally left his car without paying his meter.
It is surprising how the homeless man made sure that the man would not be receiving a ticket for forgetting to pay his parking fee. He did it for the whole two hours, even though he was not asked to.
A lot of people are judging the homeless people just because of the way they dress. But most of the time we forget that they are human beings too with a heart that can be broken whenever we does mean things to them. They are human beings who are exposed to difficult situations of having nothing at all. Instead of judging them, we must learn how to help them out. Because these homeless people are one of us as well, but they need more help because they already got nothing.
It is truly amazing how a person with nothing decides to give out what is left for them and hand it out to other people. Isn't this video amazing? Share your thoughts below.

Leopard fell into a well, brave, heroic locals helped the big cat!
Leopards are considered as one of the fastest and strongest predators that exists in the wildlife. Man and these big cats are natural enemies. But when it comes to a situation whereas the Leopards need the help of Mankind we would not hesitate to help them.
Like for this instance, in Mudrady, Udupi, Karnataka, India, a Leopard was discovered to be trapped inside a well. The owners of the well were surprised to find a wild leopard inside.
The local forest officials of India believe that the Leopard might have been wandering in the area during the night and accidentally stumbled into the well. The locals of city knew that they had to save the big cat.
They prepared a cage for the Leopard and covered the half of the well with a net to prevent the big cat from attacking the men who are helping him. The locals lent a ladder that would help the Leopard to climb up directly to the cage.
The Leopard was so angry and furious thinking that the people would be hurting him. But what he didn't know is that everything that they are doing was for him.
Credits to the publisher of the video, Awesome World. According to them the cat is up to be treated for minor injuries and is under recovery. After that it will be sent back to Kudremukh Forest where it belongs.

People who look perfectly fine often complains about everything, literally everything that's happening in their lives. Have you ever thought of how other people are being contented with what they have, despite the fact that they have deformities? Normal people can bathe and dress up without fuss, but have you ever thought of how hard it is for conjoined twins to bathe and dress up?
Meet Donnie and Ronnie, the conjoined twins from Ohio who recently claim the title for being the oldest living conjoined twins in the history.
The title was previously given to Giacomo and Giovanni Tocci who were born in Itali in 1877 and passed away at the age of 63.
Because of that Ronnie and Donnie are now the oldest living conjoined twins at the age of 64. They didn't expect this at all because when the twins were born, they did not expect them to live longer than a night when they were born in 1951.
Yes, they are conjoined twins, they have four arms, four legs, a common pelvis and digestive tract, but Ronnie and Donnie didn't show everyone that it would be a hindrance for them to live a happy life.
In fact, it was quite of an advantage because they already got each other through thick and thin, they are each other's mirror and also they already have a best friend!
They can even live like normal people, they swim, they play baseball and even watches their favorite American Football team play.

In this video, a tourist was just filming the majestic view of the beach, he was recording the astonishing beauty of the beach, the sand and the waves when suddenly something weird happens. A group of creatures were approaching the shore.
We've seen a lot of amazing videos involving sea creatures right? But I should tell you that this is probably the best video you'll ever see!
To everyone's surprise, a group of dolphins was coming to their way, the shore. At first the people roaming around the beach thought that the dolphins are up to something like showing off something surprising to everyone, but then they realized that the dolphins started swimming and even reached the sand.
That's the time when the people were alarmed. They started pulling off the dolphins from the sands back to the water, to avoid getting hurt. What's even more surprising is that these men who saved the dolphins don't even know each other yet they helped each other to save a life!
Although they were still unsure why those dolphins reached the shore, they just thanked everyone who helped save those adorable sea creatures.

These two had been walking around and dropping wallet and testing honesty but no one was honest enough to give it back. They were about to give up because it has been five days since they started dropping wallets, and none of it has ever returned. But, just like what they say, the moment you wanted to give up is actually the moment when the miracle happens.
Surprisingly, they encountered an honest homeless man. The homeless picked up the wallet, called the man and didn't even take a look of what's in it. All he did was be honest and give the wallet back. As soon as he had given the wallet to the owner, he asked for a little amount of money for him to buy food to eat. But instead of giving him a spare change, this guy gave him $1000 in return for his honesty.
"It will help me enormously." the homeless man told these guys after receiving the $1000
You see? You should always remember that you should not give up because the moment that you wanted to give up is actually the moment where the miracle takes place.

5 years old's touching gesture feeds homeless man at Waffle House
Here's the heart warming story of Josiah Duncan a 5 year old kid who fed a homeless in a Waffle house in Pratville, Alabama, wherein he bring everyone in the waffle house in tears.
According to the Ava Faulk, Josiah's mother, he was really disturbed after seeing the man with his bike while holding an empty bag. He then started asking his mom about the man so she explained that the man is homeless.
"What does homeless mean? Where is his house? Where is his family? Where does he keep his groceries? Josiah continuously asked his mom.
The only thing that Ava Faulk's told Josiah is that a homeless means one that does not have a home. After the kid knew about what homeless meant, he then asked his mom if they could buy the man a decent meal to which his mom agreed so they invited the homeless man inside the waffle house.
According to Ava Faulk, when the homeless man entered the restaurant and sat down, no one even came up to him to ask what he wants. So the kid again asked if the man needed a menu because he won't be able to order without one.
Since they insisted to pay for the man's meal, he just insisted to have the cheapest meal on the menu, but Ava and Josiah told him that he can have anything he wants. That's when the man decided to have bacons and the kid told him that he can have as many bacons as he want.
Before eating, Josiah then talked to the homeless and asked if he could say the blessing with him. He then sang as loud as he can share the blessings to everyone and also to be thankful for all the blessings.
At that point of time, everyone in the waffle house was in tears. They all couldn't hold back their tears because of what Josiah did.
"Watching my son touched 11 people in that Waffle House tonight will be forever one of the greatest accomplishments as a parent, I'll ever get to witness." Ava Faulk said.
You see? The humanity in this generation still lives for some.
