Okay, there's a story. It's a Zen story I'd like to start with. It's about two monks.Two monks that actually walk for a full day in silence. And so as they're walking, there's a junior monk and a senior monk. As they're walking, they reach a riverbank and at the edge of the riverbank, they see a woman standing unable to cross.Now the older, wiser monk starts walking towards the woman, lifts her up, carries her and takes her across the bank and sets her down. And they both both monks start to continue to wal ...

Thank you everybody. I will start with asking a question. How many of you know how much one liter of petrol emits CO2.Any hands. Well, see this is something that struck me and that's why I started my forest Armenia. One liter of petrol.Everybody's talking about this CO2 emissions, but nobody knows how much one liter of petrol when it is burned in your car when you're flying, how much it emits of CO2. Well, the answer is one liter of petrol, which is only 750 g will emit 2,300 g. One liter.And when you think ...

I fantasize about rejecting the apologies that I know will never come. The ones I deserve from loved ones who have abused me. Bruising with their hands, their silence, their absence, the ones who made me question my worth in this world, my place, but most importantly, my life purpose.And yet their absence still echoes me unfinished, unresolved, and like a sentence cut off mid breath. But the thing about longing for people in absence is that at some points it stops feeling like hope and it starts to taste li ...

Does this work. Yes. How many of you know this theorem.Just raise your hands. Okay, so almost everybody. You probably learned in school that Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician and philosopher, discovered this theorem.But what if I told you that wasn't the full story. that this theorem was known in Babylon, ancient Egypt and ancient India thousands of years before that. Let me give you a few more.The quadratic formula which is a fundamental part of schooling was discovered by Alarismi, an Arab mathematician ...

Hello ladies and gentlemen. My name is Hanoa Mate and I'm the proud owner of a $3 million company. I know, right.I I see those faces, those looks of surprise. You're probably wondering, does he really own a $3 million company. And you're probably thinking, uh, maybe maybe because of how he's dressed, maybe he could.Uh but it begs the question, why is it so surprising for a young person like me to be that successful. But furthermore, how can we young people change the narrative and succeed at a young age. To ...

Okay, let's start with something we can all agree on. I suppose um there is no scenario now in which artificial intelligence or in the future artificial general intelligence is fading into irrelevance. It's here to stay to continue being disruptive, helpful, um, reaching out to different aspects of our personal and professional lives.For that reason, let me try and make a little leap into a notsodistant future. And let's say the year is 2035. For some reason, they kept me here at WC Diligan.So, I'm still th ...

Um, so yes, I'm a dreamer and um, today I'm here together with you because I'm really thrilled to be in an audience where I believe there are more than or around 80 countries represented. I was just talking to the students. They told me that there are actually 79 countries and about 200 students.So I think that's exactly the place where I want to be today. because I'm going to talk about journeys. Um, I think that's incredible that over the course of your life, you could have chosen any country to go to a c ...

So, I would like everyone to close their eyes just for a second and imagine that you're holding a glass of wine and really imagine that experience. Take the wine, swirl the wine, smell it, and take a sip. Now imagine that someone next to you leans over and says, "Hm, that was a really complex wine." Okay, what do they mean by that.What exactly does complexity mean. It's a term that we use a lot in the world of wine. Wine critics use it, right.When I uh write a tasty note, I sometimes use complexity. But I w ...

When I drive places, I always notice bodies of water sprinkled along the highway. My eyes gravitate upstream, thinking about how green the water is and wondering how the land is managed. It's a strange hobby, I admit, but probably less strange knowing I'm a water researcher and passionate about the quality of water flowing into our lakes.Just this past summer, I was driving back from the lake and thinking. Now, I had lots of time for thinking because it's a 2900 km drive home from Lake Euron to Saskatchewan ...
