But let's dig deeper.If you put aside habits, distractions, expectations, what is something you would pursue just because it excites you. When Billy Isish first entered the music industry, she was just a teenager. Everyone expected her to f ...
More Than Ink | Grace Jean | TEDxGEMS OOEHS Girls Sharjah Youth

This is just a pen. It's not smart. It doesn't come with Bluetooth. It doesn't even click properly anymore. I found it at the back with dusty cupboard at school. probably left by some student from 2019 who gave up during a physics test and walked out. If the physics test look like that, you know you're cooked. Most people wouldn't give it a second glance, but I did. Not because it looks special, but because it started doing something weird. It started talking to me. Don't worry, I haven't completely lost it ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-11-18 16:46
Kako Generacija Z redefinira uspjeh? - ne kroz titule i formalne hijerarhije, već kroz autentičnost, zajedništvo i osobni rast. U svom izlaganju Dario će pokazati zašto mladi inspiraciju pronalaze u liderima koje osjećaju bliskima, kako motivacija proizlazi iz primjera, a ne prisile te što starije generacije mogu naučiti iz tog pristupa. Njegova poruka publici bit će da uspjeh u današnjem vremenu ne znači biti najglasniji, nego ostati dosljedan sebi i inspirirati druge svakodnevnim djelovanjem. On je vizion ...

[music] So, my name is Rafiat. I'm uh I run an organization called Footsteps. I am a social entrepreneur by profession.

Okay, hands up if you've ever said yes to an invitation and then immediately pray for a snowstorm to cancel it so you wouldn't have to go. We've all heard the advice, set boundaries, say no more often. No to overcommitting to work that doesn't fit our lifestyle to the people pleasing that drains us.But there's one thing you can say no to that makes the biggest positive impact on your well-being.

TEDx Talks· 2025-11-11 17:55
[Applause] What if I told you that you've been wearing a mask every single day of your life. Not a real one, not something you can touch or take off, but a mask made of how you speak, how you act, and how you want others to see you. We all wear them when we laugh at a joke we don't find funny.When we stay quiet just to avoid an argument. when we pretend we're fine because it's easier than explaining that we're not. Most of the time, we don't even notice we're doing it.But these masks, the ones we wear to fi ...
