Expand Your Aperture: Learning How to Learn and Unlearn | Linda Ngô | TEDxFTU Hanoi
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-30 16:44
Core Concept: Personal Growth & Adaptability - Expanding one's aperture, through learning, unlearning, and relearning, breaks down barriers and opens up new possibilities [2] - Break points, moments of feeling stuck, are invitations to grow if one is willing to learn, unlearn, and relearn [4][7] - Unlearning involves acknowledging that some beliefs or habits are no longer serving, creating space for new ideas [11][25] - Relearning involves finding fresh perspectives within what one already knows, combating burnout [18][19] Practical Application: Content Creation & Collaboration - Authenticity, not perfection, connects with people [12] - Negative feedback should be viewed as a sign of sparking a reaction, rather than a cause for discouragement [15] - Collaboration and trusting the process can lead to unexpected ideas and viral content [16][17] Methodology for Unlearning - Identify the limiting habit or belief, acknowledge its impact, and examine its origin [21][22] - Challenge the belief with new evidence, replace it with a positive belief, and test the new belief in small steps [23][24] - Practice letting go in real situations, acting in ways that align with the new belief [24][25]

[Music] Changing schools comes with its own set of challenges like fitting in, making new friends, and adjusting to a new environment. For me, the hardest part was transitioning from a small and enclosed school to a diverse and bustling one like IC. But one thing set me apart from the crowd.my family name. At first, it was a relief because it reminded people of my sister Lean. Lean was the smart, diligent, and outstanding student.She had, as my mother would like to describe it, a spark. Her unique personali ...

Power of Internal Comparison | Sri Sakthi Ramesh | TEDxKGCAS
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-25 16:14
Oh, I wish I could sing like Shrea Gosh. Sometimes I wish I could think like Sund. Oh, I wish I could lead like Ms.. Dhoni. At some point, haven't we all thought that in a world of filters and flashes, followers and frames, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking they have something that I don't. And so begins the silent comparison.Not the healthy kind, but the kind that whispers, "You're not enough." Every morning we stand in front of the mirror. We fix our hair, adjust our clothes, and maybe give ours ...

You Are What You Think | Thomas Kuchenbrod | TEDxHarmony Science Academy Dallas High
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-25 15:20
Core Argument - Change, whether physical or mental, originates in the mind, emphasizing the power of thoughts to influence outcomes [2][3] - The principle of cause and effect applies universally, including to thoughts, where inputs (thoughts) create outputs (results) [14][15][16] - Individuals are not defined by their past experiences or trauma but by their thoughts, urging proactive and intentional thinking [18][19] Neurological Basis of Thought - Repeated thoughts strengthen neural connections, making those thoughts easier and more automatic over time [5][6] - The brain is neuroplastic, meaning new neural pathways can be created intentionally through repetition and conscious effort [7][8] Sources of Negative Thought Patterns - Negative thought patterns often stem from personal experiences, which can be limiting if not properly contextualized [9][10][11] - Poor education, from various sources, can instill limiting beliefs disguised as truth, which individuals internalize and rationalize [12][13] Actionable Strategies - Question every mental seed before it takes root, exercising the power to challenge and reframe limiting beliefs [13] - Fiercely protect your inputs by guarding what you watch, hear, and who you associate with, to create desired outcomes [17]
The Myth of Arrival: Thriving Beyond The Destination Fallacy | Dr. Saman Arfaie | TEDxMcMasterU
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-24 15:28
It can be tempting to live your life as a prelude, as a prequel, to think that you're setting up a grander narrative, that your path would soon follow Once I lose weight, I'm become fit. Once I graduate from university, find a real job for me. Fancy car, fancy house. Once I find the perfect romantic partner, once, once, once, then and only then will I begin to live. And every prior action leading up to that critical junction is a faint reflection of living, a halflived life. A preliminary and unimportant se ...

[4][5] - Embracing rejection and failure can lead to confidence and success [2][3] Business & Relationships - Sacrifices are necessary for success, such as time with friends and family [9] - Building strong relationships can be as valuable as building a business [11] - Finding the light in every darkness and smiling at things that should make one miserable is how to win in life [16]
