"Kid President": A boy easily broken teaching how to be strong

[Jazzy]

HENDERSON, Tenn. -- An internet video by 9-year-old Robby Novak has been viewed 12 million times. He plays the role of Kid President, giving the world a pep talk.



The world needs you to stop being boring, he says in the video. Yeah, you! Boring is easy. Anybody can be boring. But you're gooder than that.



Robby says his favorite part about being Kid President is dancing.



I feel like I'm flying, he says. Like a bird. Like all birds fly -- except ostriches.



While Robby lives it up on camera, it's his life off camera that is the real inspiration.



He recently broke his finger. He says he usually injures mostly arms and legs, but not a finger. This is my first finger break.



Robby has osteogenesis imperfecta, a disease that makes his bones brittle. He has had more than 70 broken bones and 13 surgeries. He has steel rods in both legs.



But Robby says he doesn't worry about breaking things.



I don't worry about -- like, that's my point! he exclaims. I'm trying not to worry about it. Like, I want everybody to know ... I'm not that kid who breaks a lot. Like, I'm just -- I'm just a kid who wants to have fun.

The amount of positivity is slightly unnerving, but it sure beats being depressed.
