Positivity in the hardest moments can make the difference. | Chris Khouri | TEDxHotelschoolTheHague

The motor cross accident that left Chris paralyzed from the chest down 10 years ago has changed his life in more ways than he ever imagined. Whilst leaning to cope with his new physical limitations and the constant pain; he discovered the importance of determination, and the contagious power of a positive attitude. Having decided early on that although he was broken, he was not beaten, Chris Khouri, worked very hard to go back to all the things he loved: being fully independent, working, traveling the world with his wife Silvia and their two young children, and experiencing new thrills through sports. Although Chris knows that his life would have been very different without his injury, it would not necessarily have been better. So he now seeks to make a meaningful impact on people's lives by showing them that adversity can be overcome, and that only a positive attitude and perseverance can ensure that limitations do not become a handicap. The motor cross accident that left Chris paralyzed from the chest down 10 years ago has changed his life in more ways than he ever imagined.
