This talk celebrates the hidden power of small moments.

It reminds us that every moment holds the potential to shape our future in extraordinary ways.
Ucha Khuroshvili has been drawn to different activities and interests from a young age. He spent five years playing chess, which taught him patience and strategy. For a while, he also enjoyed drawing and even won a “National Science Library” contest ”Draw Peace”, but overtime his focus shifted. Football has been a big part of his life - whether playing or watching, it’s something he really enjoys. In his free time, he either plays video games, or hangs out with his friends. He also likes reading books and watching movies, which allows him to relax and explore different things.
