A very good afternoon to one and all present here. I am Aayoshi Dolakya, a Miss India turned into sports presenter, an entrepreneur and a creator. When I first entered the university and I met everyone, the first question that I asked was can you elaborate the theme for me just to make sure that I am thinking in the correct direction and the answer that I got was finding magic manifesting in your own way that turns illusion into reality.And that sentence kind of stayed with me because what is illusion. When ...

Mimarlıkta her şeyin bir ölçüsü vardır. Bugün oturduğunuz koltukları, bir kapı kolunun yerden yüksekliğini, bir merdiven basamağının gelişliğini, şehirler kalabalılaştıkça, üretim arttıkça bir noktada bizim bunlar hakkında bir standarda ihtiyacımız vardı ve bu şekilde bir standardizasyon oluştu. Peki nedir bu standart sizce.Bir şeyin en iyi hali midir ya da en kaliteli hali midir. En böyle hayalini kurduğumuz versiyon mudur. Standart dediğimiz şey ortalama bir insanın, ortalama ihtiyaçlarını böyle yeterince ...

Most people love butterflies. They flutter so gracefully. They land so gently and they're colorful.However, they're not born that way. rather they go through a process called metamorphosis from a caterpillar to a butterfly and that is a process that not enough people applaud. So I'd like to think that the butterfly is not about its beauty rather it's about its becoming.Now I'm going to share with you four people who happens to be my family. So bear with me. There's dad.He was the quintessential head of the ...

Wow, it's quite the audio. Of course, I'm a little bit nervous because this is my first TEDex and I'm hoping that these nerves can be transformed into something impactful. We're often taught to look at bad situations as the end.But what if I told you that how you approach that situation redefineses your experience. Now, growing up in a typical Ghanaian household, we had an idea of what success looked like. A medical doctor, a lawyer, an architect, a banker.But here is the problem. What I wanted to do was to ...

[music] [music] [applause] [cheering] [applause] Hello. It's great to be back here and I'm happy to see a lot of really young people in the audience. Um, my parents were actually a little younger than you guys when Ghana saw independence.So that means they're literally older than Ghana and they lived through some of the most turbulent times in Ghana's history. There were there was the overthrow of Kwaming Kruma. There were coups, there were famine and long stretches of military rule and a lot of uncertainty ...

RT Daryl Lau (@Daryllautk)If you applied the same trading philosophy to your life, you could exponentially change it.I like to ask people about their pivotal moments - their plot lines, their character arcs - when I meet them.Most people can't name one in the last 5 years.VCs will spend 100 hours intellectually masturbating but never ask "how far am I from my own J curve?"A few years ago I asked myself: what are my core competencies, and if nothing changed, would I actually be happy?That question changed ev ...

Have you ever felt like you have something important to say but no one was really listening to you. I used to feel like that every time. So today I want to ask one more question.What do you think would be changed if every young person in this world filled head. My message is simple. Youth voice is not something that adults can give us.It's something that we already have it but we but we just need to use it. I remember when I first came to Australia, I wasn't that confident. I was quiet.I keep to myself and ...

[applause] People are always judging everyone by what they can see on the outside. But I want you to take a minute and realize that what you see on the outside is not the entire story. Most people believe that when I was growing up from Asbury Park, New Jersey, people believe that you would say quote unquote, I grew up in the hood.But I grew up and I believe that everyone living in my complex was my village. How many of you know it takes a village to raise a child. [applause] And each and every one of them ...

amlaykum everyone. When I think about rejection, I no longer see it as a moment where everything stops, but rather a point where my new beginning starts. My name is Gan and today I want to share how I reshape the way I think about rejection, but from my own personal story.We usually treat rejection as a sign that we're we're not enough nor worthy, that our ideas doesn't belong. And in doing so, we forget that it can be a redirection or a small push towards something that we fear to explore. When I first sta ...

I was born with a limb difference. The deck was stacked against me before I even took my first breath. And as as if that wasn't enough, life kept dealing me harder hands.My parents suffered from drug addiction. And then came the kind of loss that ripped the airs right from my lungs. See, most people are taught to run from adversity.But what if everything we learned about adversity was wrong. What if the one thing we were taught to avoid was actually the things that helped us get to our next level. Adversity ...
