People often think I have it all figured out because I started at such a young age handling my business at the same time as my academic responsibilities as a senior high school student that I look confident, act confident, decisive, and sure of where I'm going. But I'm not. I honestly don't even feel qualified to be on this stage.And I'm guessing some of you have thought that same way about something in your life. Unconfident, not enough, constantly wondering who am I to do this. But this opportunity to be ...

I've been asked to talk about what moves me and about my journey with corporate volunteering. And the first thought that came to my mind was a question. Do I have enough to say, is it big enough.

If I can really create an impact and if what I am doing is actually meaningful. And I have found that a lot of the people that I am hanging out with a ...

I remember the day that I was almost murdered at the age of 18. I remember what it felt like sitting in a corner of my bedroom that had been turned upside down by the person that I loved. I remember what it felt like to have my top ripped into pieces. And I remember what it sounded like. I remember looking into his eyes and begging him to stop, but he just wouldn't listen. I remember looking at my top and I remember it being into pieces where it had blood, which was his blood, on my t-shirt. And I remember ...

Good evening everyone. I'm Anna and it is a real honor and a privilege to stand before you today.

Anyway, um usually when people do talks or TED talks specifically, they're usually known as an expert in their field. Um they're either someone that has unpacked a topic, unraveled it, sat down with it, and said, "Okay, cool. I really need to be a doctorate in this specific topic.

Uh I'm not a doctor yet, but I am an expert in my experience. specifically being the eldest daughter, hence the picture. Quite scary. Uh ...

The first time I saw seaggrass was 20 years ago in the Joho River estuary. When I stepped out of the boat and looked around, I felt like I had stepped into a magical world. Creatures everywhere, hiding, hunting, eating.To me, this was like a secret garden in the sea. Hello everyone. I'm Jillian Ouie.I'm a marine scientist at the University of Malaya. Back then, I was a master student studying plants in the sea. And I remember thinking why is it that I had never learned about seaggrass when I was in school.I ...

[applause] This is my dog, Milo. He's a perfectly happy dog as long as he gets cheese, playtime, belly rubs, and a spot on the couch. If we dropped him off in the wild, he probably wouldn't do too well.Not because he's weak, but because that environment doesn't support his needs. This is true of most animals, including Milo's ancestors, the wolves. In a healthy ecosystem, wolves are social animals, just like humans.They move constantly, regulate stress through connection. They raise their young together. No ...
