I'm very happy to be here. Uh, see, I grew up here in northern Thailand in Mai in a house along the river. And I remember as a child seeing the waters of the river rise and sometimes overflow their banks.This is a picture of my father and little sister in front of our home in Chiang Mai. As you can see, uh sometimes it would flood and luckily they brought an umbrella to stay dry. And these types of events were quite regular growing up.And for me, they brought inspiration to pursue the field that I now focus ...

And in that moment, I want you to reflect on your emotions and line of thought. What were you thinking about. And how how were you feeling about that decision.And what I want you to let that sink in for a moment and carry that reflection along my talk today to see if probably I can change how you feel or think afterwards. Okay. So, first of all, let's replay my childhood for a while.I used to play in the professional tennis uh tennis team. And when I ever lost a point, I kept thinking about what would I hav ...

For over four decades, I live by my mask. On the outside, I feel confident of joy and happiness and was lovey. But on the inside while extremely happened with my family and my own life, I was a woman living with a personal belief system that was riddled self-boy insecurities and doubt all stem from childhood full child trauma, body shame and no self.This led to a life of emotional eating in order to cope with my pain. And these beliefs, they didn't just affect me then. They've followed me into motherhood, m ...

Tenía 16 años cuando emigré de mi país y antes de irme mi mamá me dijo algo sumamente valioso. Tráete en tus maletas tus útiles escolares. Yo, como toda niña disciplinada que siempre fui, le hice caso. Guardé mis maletas, mis lápices, mis cuadernos, mis libros. Con el tiempo entendí que esta frase no era solo una instrucción, era una lección de vida. No me estaba diciendo qué empacar, me estaba diciendo quién ser. Porque cuando uno emigra no solo cambia de país, cambias de amistades, de rutina, de cultura, ...

Almost three years ago, I made a choice. I chose not to give into the oppression and pressure forced on me by my own government. So instead, I chose to step into a new chapter of my life.One where I could be the writer and the warrior of my own story. I could fight for what I wanted. With that being said, let me give you a little bit of information about myself so you guys get to know me.I was 16 when for the very first time I came here in the United States, especially in this college. Stepping to the class ...

[musica] [musica] [musica] Il tempo è un'emozione ed è una grandezza bidimensionale che puoi vivere in due direzioni diverse. La puoi vivere in lunghezza o in larghezza. Se l'avevi in lunghezza in modo sempre uguale, monotono, dopo 60 anni, tu avrai 60 anni. Se invece la la vivi in larghezza con alti e bassi, innamorandoti, magari facendo anche qualche sciocchezza tra rischi, passioni, errori, dopo 60 anni tu avrai ancora 30 anni. Il guaio è che si studia come allungare la vita quando invece bisognerebbe im ...

[applause] It was another long, agonizing day of administrative duty. Internal affairs had pulled me from the streets nine weeks prior because I was involved in another use of force. By this time in my career, I was tired of the process, the people, and the politics.And quite frankly, I didn't want to be here anymore. I remember leaving the agency or the department going home to an empty house. My only son at the time was 7 years old and he was away with family for the holidays.It was around Thanksgiving an ...

[applause] What if I told you that the skills you need to overcome life's greatest challenges can be found in the simplest of places, a field, a tennis court, or even a running track. Sports have an incredible way of teaching us lesson that sticks. Not because someone tells us what to do, but because we experience them firsthand.Picture this. A young girl with big dreams holding a tennis racket that was almost as tall as her. Her name was Serena Williams.She practiced for hours every single day while facing ...

[Applause] I want you to close your eyes and think about the last time you ever faced a challenge. Maybe it was a project at work that went off the rails, an unexpected family issue, or a personal setback that left you feeling defeated. How many of you have ever felt the weight.A moment so heavy you just want to give up and forget all your problems. Raise your hand. Okay, I see a lot of hands.Now, I want you to think of a small white ball on a perfectly manicured lawn and a tiny hole far in the distance. Th ...

[Applause] I have one question to ask you guys. Has anyone here have been crazy about something like you love it so much that you can't relate the subject to life and feel so happy about thing you love. Well, I have one is the big heart of math.Some people here will hate math because it only deals with numbers, calculations, and logics that may not be making any sense. Even though when your math teacher says, "Trust me, it's easy." And you immediately know it's going to ruin your exam. My friends thought I ...
