Harvard professor Tinker once famously said, "Music is nothing else than audrey cheesecake." His logic was brutal. Music doesn't cure cancer. It doesn't build bridges.It is just a dessert, a treat we allow ourselves only after the real work of survival is done. As a musician, I should be offended. By the researcher, I can see his point.If our definition of survival is merely eating and breathing, then no, we don't need music. I spent my first 20 years believing exactly that. I was born and grew up in a smal ...

I'm a surviv. I'm not stop I'm not going to give up. I'm not going to stop. I'll keep on. >> See, it's not bad. I'm still nervous, but I I'm going to carry on. So, I sang that song and I think many of you know it, right? No. >> Oh, it's obvious, right? So, this song is by Destiny's Child for those who don't know. And I remember I was singing this song actually last night. That's why I thought it was cool because I came up with it last night. You know, when you're tired, you come up with a lot of things. So, ...

What does it take to rediscover your passion for sport after life gets in the way? In his talk, Mr. Paul shares his personal journey as a cyclist and triathlete—from the pure joy of wind in his hair to the intense competition of the world stage. He looks back to his early days, making provincial teams, and the devastating motorbike accident that shattered his dreams of competing in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. After years of focusing on family and career, a skiing accident four years ago became the unexpected ...

unscripted. I have a question. What if the best moments of your life, the ones where you felt the most alive, were the most present, the most delicious moments of your life were the ones that you didn't plan for. They weren't on the schedule. They weren't on the agenda. They just happened. But in order for that stuff to happen, we need to create some white space. Let's take a little journey. This started as a joke. My sister and brother-in-law were going down to a trip to St. Pete when I lived in New York. ...

Have you ever noticed that the most meaningful things in our lives are often the quietest ones. Let's take the items we carry around on the daily basis. For example, a folded note in the back of your wallet, a keychain from a place you visited long ago, or a bracelet you've worn for years.Perhaps it's a movie ticket from a movie that made you laugh so much you nearly started crying, or a seashell from a trip you took with your loved ones. These things contain pieces of ourselves, but they are silent. They h ...
