Okay. Is it working. How's everybody feeling.Good. Exhausted. Yeah.Right. According to the scientist, human brain can fully focus only 9 seconds. And here I am standing here giving you a spec 10 minutes.Growing up, I've been looking up in the neighborhood to my peers, to the girls the same age as me, and to the goals that they wanted to achieve. Most of the time it was getting married, having kids, retiring, working a job, and that's it. That was if you'd accomplished that that meant that as a girl you acco ...
From fracture to flow: The gold that repairs our humanity | Inês NW | TEDxHorta
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-13 16:43
Core Argument - The primary cause of individual and systemic fractures is unmet expectations [2] - True connection, facilitated by joy, is the key to healing these fractures [7][9] - Unconditional love, achieved by unlearning expectations and starving judgment, fosters connection [12] - The Japanese art of Kintsugi, repairing broken pottery with gold, serves as a metaphor: love (the gold) illuminates and values fractures, rather than hiding them [13] Proposed Solution - Individuals should engage in genuine conversations with loved ones, consciously catching and unlearning judgmental thoughts [10][11] - By unlearning expectations, individuals can foster connection without condition, leading to unconditional love [11][12] - Healing individual fractures with "gold" (love, connection) increases clarity, resilience, and authenticity [16][17] Envisioned Future - The industry envisions a future where individuals are free, integrated, and acting from flow instead of lack [18] - The industry imagines systems that are pliable enough to accommodate everyone, fostering connection [18] - The industry anticipates leadership that is heart-driven, brave, and connection-based [19] - The future, gilded with the "gold" of healed fractures, will be stronger than before [20]

You Need To Be Perfect | Catalina Latorre | TEDxLINTAC Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-10-16 15:37
You should be perfect. You should be perfect. You should all be perfect.But not in the way you think. This word being perfect once meant to me. You should have no flaws.And I've come to realize that perfect can have more meaning than that. I'm someone who has spent my entire life trying to achieve this old idea of perfection, especially in an academic setting. And while in school, it may be more straightforward with that 100% grade, this number doesn't really translate into your own life.I believe it is thi ...
How memories shape your reality | Aleena Garner | TEDxNewEngland
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-12 17:00
Core Argument - Perception is shaped by the interplay of sensations, thoughts, past experiences (memories), and future expectations [3][10][12][13][24] - Individuals can influence their experiences by consciously managing their thoughts, memories, and expectations [24][29] - Recognizing the subjective nature of reality and adapting communication styles are crucial for effective learning and interaction [26][27] Neuroscience Insights - Neural circuits integrate sensation with the brain's internal model to create perception [4][5] - Memory traces record experiences, and reactivating old memories during new experiences can fuse them [6][7][9] - Expectations can suppress neural activity for predicted stimuli and amplify activity for unexpected stimuli [17][18] Learning and Adaptation - Updating internal models is essential for learning and adapting to a changing world [21][22] - Failure to update internal models can hinder learning and lead to a disconnect from reality [20][21][23] - The brain builds internal models of the world based on experience, and errors in prediction lead to model updates [18][20] Implications for Individuals - Actively choosing and triggering positive memories can improve challenging or unpleasant experiences [25] - Mindfulness of sensations helps distinguish them from thoughts and expectations [25] - Deliberate meditation can help manage expectations [25] Implications for Interpersonal Relations and Education - Each individual has a unique perception of reality based on their experiences [26] - Acknowledging different perspectives is crucial for improving various aspects of life [26] - Education systems should appreciate that everyone learns differently and adapt teaching methods accordingly [27]
