Okay, we have a balance problem. Seriously, I'm not talking about handstands. Handstands are great.You should try them. They're lots of fun. Do you want to try one now.>> Oh, maybe later.

A world that seems to be hurtling out of balance. Let's start with this feather.It ...

When I was only 17, I was smuggled out of Iran. And in that process, I found a GPS. Not the type of GPS you're probably thinking about right now. It was just after 8:00 a.m. on the 10th of February, 2007. I just got into the people with smuggler's car whose name was Ahmed. This old white rusty car with gray seats that had oil stains all over it. It was somewhere at the border of Iran and Pakistan. When I got into the car, I noticed a device on Ahmed's dashboard. He was typing in it. I've never seen such a d ...

Happy morning everyone. Today I'll speak on the topic the art of letting go. Turning sorrow to strength.Everybody has their first pictures of whether they just learn how to walk, talk or eat a crawl. This is my first picture of when I just learned how to walk. It was 6th August early morning.My father or a baba as I call him had just come to India where we were spending our vacations at Nana Nani's house. He broke the news none of us ever wanted to hear. My mother or I is no more.Shock waves ran through my ...

Good morning everyone. My name is Harsh Ramak Krishna and today I want to tell you a story that begins with something as simple as this. This is just a basic sheet of paper.At first sight, nothing remarkable. But with every fold, twist and turn, it begins to change. And suddenly, it isn't paper anymore.It's something entirely new with shape, purpose, and maybe even a little bit of magic. Origami is always one of my silent obsessions. But what I didn't realize until recently is that this simple art form has ...

Just by the show of hands, do you believe that no one is really disadvantaged. No one is disadvantaged. Some people are disadvantaged.H interesting. But you see, if no one is truly disadvantaged like the topic says, how do we explain poverty.

When I'm out giving public speeches, there's one question that always comes up. People ask me, with everything you know today, what would you say to yourself lying there in the hospital bed right after you broke your neck seven years ago. What advice would you give yourself.And the thing is, I know exactly what I would say if I had the chance, but it's always been a hypothetical question until now. Thanks to the TEDx team here at Junship University, I now have access to some groundbreaking technology. A pho ...

So we grew up surrounded by limits. Grades define how smart we are. Titles define how successful we are.And sometimes our own voice in our head defined the biggest limits. My childhood was full of transitions. And of course, I wasn't the only one.But I was born in Georgia, then went to Greece, then when I was 5 years old, back to Georgia to go to school. Then I stayed there for like two years, then back to school in Greece to continue the school. And of course, I I skipped three grades within one year becau ...

I want to take you on a journey. Imagine for a moment the following.You awaken in darkness below deck to the swaying of the ship, the smell of brackish water and human waste. The sound of the wav ...
