00:21Chamath belonged to an ordinary but hard-working family.
00:24His father worked as a civil servant in the Sri Lankan government, and his mother taught in a school.
00:31But circumstances turned out so that the family left Sri Lanka and migrated to Canada in search of a better future.

00:43A new country, a new language, and a new culture.
00:47Dot dot.

00:50A child who saw poverty, suffered hardship, and faced discrimination many times.

01:07It questions, curiosity, and above all, a desire to become something.
01:13His father was unemployed, and the situation at home was often difficult.
01:17But Chamath's mother never gave up.
01:19She taught Chamath that hard times do not break a person, but build them up.
01:26This poverty, migration, and struggle made Chamath stronger.
01:31He was not interested in toys like ordinary children, but in books and questions.
01:36Every day, every moment, he tried to get closer to his dreams.
01:41This was a child who had decided at a young age that he would do something big.
01:47He would become an example, not only for himself, but for millions of children who are struggling with their circumstances.
01:55Chamath Peliapisha began his educational journey in a small Canadian town.
01:59Where he settled after making a new start with his parents.
02:05Chamath's educational journey began with preschool and elementary school, where he laid the foundation of his early knowledge.
02:14But his real educational story began when he entered high school.
02:17During high school, Chamath always worked hard.
02:21His curiosity and passion for learning new things made him different from others.
02:26It was during his school days that he decided that he would do something special with his life.
02:32After graduating from high school in Canada, Chamath decided to take his educational journey a step further,
02:39and enrolled at the University of Waterloo.

03:28And he proved through his hard work and dedication that only those who dream can achieve their goals.
03:35Chamath Palahapishah did not immediately start working in big companies after completing his education.
03:42This path was not easy for him.
03:44Just like every successful person faces some difficulties in his life,
03:48finding a job was also a challenge for Chamath.

04:44and decided to try again.

05:09and he set out to prove himself.
05:11This job, and the experiences that followed,
05:15became the foundation of his career.
05:17He understood at that time,
05:20that success is never instant,
05:22but rather has to be achieved through hard work.
