TEDx Talks· 2025-07-18 15:34
Imagination & Reality - Imagination is a currency that exchanges value between thought and reality, enabling actualization through process [3] - What one envisions becomes their reality, and what one speaks becomes their identity [3][5][8][10] Nature's Influence - Relationship with nature fosters deeper and more imaginative thinking, aiding emotional regulation and creativity [4][5] - Exploration of nature allows for imagination and creation [5] Power of Words - The power of life and death lies in the tongue, emphasizing the impact of spoken words on shaping reality [8] - Speaking what one wants to see and declaring what one wants to be are crucial [10] Personal Experience - The speaker's personal experiences, such as dreaming of singing for God and envisioning New York City, demonstrate the power of imagination and words in achieving goals [6][7][9] - The speaker fulfilled a childhood dream of speaking on the TED X stage 12 years after initially envisioning it [9][10]
Perception & Reality; Two Sides of a Coin | Saanvi Narang | TEDxYouth@AbbeyParkHS
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-17 16:02
Cognitive Biases & Perception - Perception acts as a lens through which we view reality, influencing choices, relationships, and overall reality [3][4] - The halo effect, a cognitive bias, causes initial impressions in one area to influence overall perception of someone [7] - Stereotypes, mental shortcuts based on race, gender, or background, lead to often inaccurate judgments [11][12] - Confirmation bias shapes interpretation of news, media, and experiences, reinforcing existing beliefs [26] Decision Making - Priming, where seeing or hearing something influences response, affects decision-making [15] - The mind uses two systems: System One (fast, intuitive) and System Two (analytical, problem-solving), with reliance on System One due to efficiency [16][17] - Heuristics, cognitive rules of thumb, can lead to systematic judgment errors, such as the availability heuristic and anchoring heuristic [17][18][19] Overcoming Biases - Questioning initial assumptions and giving people a second impression can help overcome biases [12][13] - Actively seeking new perspectives and questioning assumptions can help challenge confirmation bias [27] - Slowing down, questioning impressions and decisions, and seeking the entire picture are crucial for real understanding [29][30][31]
