Sometimes the smallest shift in perspective creates the biggest change in our life. This is true not just in theory but also in real lived experiences. Take Oprah Winfrey, one of the most successful women in the world, once admitted that she starved herself for nearly five months to just fit a standard of beauty.On live television, she wheeled out a wagon, carrying all the weight she had lost.

This is just a pen. It's not smart. It doesn't come with Bluetooth. It doesn't even click properly anymore. I found it at the back with dusty cupboard at school. probably left by some student from 2019 who gave up during a physics test and walked out. If the physics test look like that, you know you're cooked. Most people wouldn't give it a second glance, but I did. Not because it looks special, but because it started doing something weird. It started talking to me. Don't worry, I haven't completely lost it ...

As a child, I'd visit Bangladesh every single year. And I remember when I was around 8 years old, I noticed that my cousin was sneaking into the attic. I found that strange, so I asked him, "Can I come with you. " He said, "Sure. " So to get in, I had to put my foot on the doororknob, grab the top of the door, and pull myself in. And when I got in, I noticed that it was pitch black. He turned the light on. And I feared what any parent might fear, a hidden stash. It was worse, a box. And inside this box were ...

We all carry one of these, right. Bags. It comes in different colors and shapes and sizes, and it's made in multiple different fabrics.But it all has one purpose, to hold what we choose to carry. But what if I told you that this bag isn't just about what's inside, but rather about who packed it. Because from the moment a girl is born, the society already starts packing her bag for her.Not with books or pencils, but instead with labels and expectations. And even before she gets a chance to open her own bag, ...

Well, according to some of my sources, you'll need about this much.Yeah, because apparently that's the official disclaimer for everything that I say. But see, this talk isn't about salt. It's about these so-called sources, my friends.You see, friends are funny like that. They don't give speeches about you or write biographies about you like they're supposed to. No, instead they make jokes.They crack one ...

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to two objects that know me better than most people do. My shoes. They're right on my feet.You can look down now. Now, when I first got these shoes, they hated me. They gave me blisters on my feet and aching toes to boot.But over time, the shoes and I made peace. They molded to my feet, adapted to my steps, and even knew when I would run from responsibility. We began walking hand in hand, or rather foot and foot.I guess you could say we became soulmates, pun v ...

I have a confession to make. I don't read. Nope.Haven't touched anything besides my textbooks for the past 2 years. And I'm probably one of the only people in this room who hasn't laid a finger on the Harry Potter series, even for names sake. It sounds bad, but hear me out.What if I told you that I knew way more stories, plot lines, and plot twists than most of you. Don't believe me. See for yourself.There. That's where real stories come from. Objects.They don't just sit there. They witness the parts of us ...
