Ewan McGregor’s Compassion | Syrian Girl Escapes Death To Be Olympian | Boy Honours Brother On London Tube – Legends Report
By Sukh Singh, Associate Partner & Mentorship Coach, Lighthouse International
Actor Ewan McGregor recently visited a refugee camp in Iraq. While we do live in a world where celebrities are put in front of cameras to make heartfelt appeals to give to a charity to help the cause, what you’ll see in the video below is a man who cares and is struggling to ‘do his job.’ He is very simply reminding us that we share more in common with each other than we share differences. This is not just about children who are suffering in refugee camps, but about our neighbours doing their best, the strangers on the train just trying to get home for some rest, our colleagues at work trying to pay the rent, the bosses who are trying desperately to keep their cool while markets crash…with our loved ones who at the end of the day we will miss. This is about having some human decency and compassion for one another, instead of seeing each other as labels and identities…
“My life was passing through my eyes…it would be a shame to die in the water if we are swimmers…”
– Yusra Mardini, Team Refugee Olympic Swimmer
Athletes go through hard training. They get up early mornings, work hard and sacrifice a lot of time they could have with friends and family. Very few Olympians can say that they literally nearly died in chasing their dreams of becoming an Olympic Athlete. Yusra Mardini is one example of how amazing human beings really are…
At the age of 18, she and her sister fled Syria to come to Germany, and now she finds herself representing refugees across the world in the biggest sporting event on the planet. Check out here story below…

“When I was 10 years old, my eldest brother was diagnosed with Burkitts Lymphoma. This was terrible news for me and my family. Over the next few months, he received Chemo-therapy, which, as it usually does, made him very ill. After 4 months of treatment, he went into remission and in June 2014 was given the all clear. Unfortunately the next month he had a relapse and thus in October went through a Bone Marrow transplant and was away from home for a month. This was extremely hard as I was used to him being at home and being able to talk to him whenever I wanted, and during this time I was only seeing him once a week… soon after that in March 2016, his cancer took over him and he unfortunately passed away.”

If anyone is searching for the way to become highly successful in our lives and careers, here’s one young man to show us all how it’s done. Alasdair Clift lost his brother three years ago and on Monday, inspired hundreds of Londoners to be part of his movement to raise money for Lymphoma research. Here is a young man who had a powerful driving force behind him – to honour his brother – and decided to do it in a fun, engaging way that captured the imagination and hearts of people wherever he went. You can check out some of the tweets from people on ‘the tube’ here. It is such a wonderful reminder of what true success is about. To not chase the riches, but to go out sincerely with passion and bring joy and value to as many people as possible – we will be rewarded.
Here’s a powerful further reminder from author, coach and strategist Tony Robbins on how to be free of scarcity!
