Sometimes the smallest shift in perspective creates the biggest change in our life. This is true not just in theory but also in real lived experiences. Take Oprah Winfrey, one of the most successful women in the world, once admitted that she starved herself for nearly five months to just fit a standard of beauty.On live television, she wheeled out a wagon, carrying all the weight she had lost. But within a short period of time, she had gained it all back. Looking back, she said, "I thought I had failed. But ...

[Aplausos] Siempre nos estamos repitiendo la frase de que las personas no somos capaces de aprender en cabeza ajena. Y qué mejor plataforma que para cambiar la narrativa, para darnos cuenta que realmente podemos aprender de las historias de estas personas que hoy se paran aquí. la cantidad de problemas que nos ahorraríamos, dejaríamos de tropezar con la misma piedra.Imaginemos la gran caja de herramientas que tendríamos para afrontar todas las dificultades que estamos teniendo en esta vida. Porque eso sí, n ...

Hello everyone, my name is Zoya Rahman and today I will be talking about how pressure impacts society. Somewhere along the line, being good stopped being good enough. You can't just be smart.You have to be the top of your class. You can't just play a sport. You have to win.You can't just be okay looking. You have to be pretty. but not like you are trying too hard.It's like there's no room for average, no space to just be without constantly feeling the need to prove something. And if you're not always improv ...

Thank you. Let me start with a simple question. When was the last time you paused, truly pause to ask yourself, why do I do what I do every single day.Not just for your to-do list, not for the endless scrolling, but pausing to ask yourself, what really matters to me in life. What do I believe in. For most of us, life moves fast.We run on assumptions of who we should be and what we should achieve. But what if there was a reason to slow down, to think more reflectively, to find some clarity, to ask better que ...

[Applause] I wonder if you can guess what I do for a living. Would it help if I told you that I grew up in the old concrete jungle. Or that a boyfriend once told all of his friends that I was a stripper before I met them all for the first time.and nobody questioned it. My point is you would have made a decision about who I am and even maybe about what I do based on how I look. I'm actually a personal trainer.I know I don't look like one. But let me take you back to 10 years ago. Looked in the mirror one day ...

Core Argument - The presentation explores the concept of "aura" as a measure of coolness, confidence, and respect, suggesting it's something that can be gained or lost [2] - It argues that focusing on measuring and competing for "aura" can lead to negative consequences, such as arrogance or low self-esteem, with a significant percentage (approximately 85%) of adults and teenagers experiencing low self-esteem [6][8] - The presentation advocates for true confidence, which involves doing what one wants without worrying about others' opinions or potential failures [16] Practical Application - The presentation suggests that experiencing humiliation and realizing one is okay can help escape the pressure of seeking external validation [17] - It encourages individuals to pursue new hobbies, try new styles, and engage with new people without concern for gaining or losing "aura" [18] - The presentation emphasizes that confidence is not about believing in success but about being comfortable with failure [18]

At 6 years old, I joined Shanghai American School Bush Swim Team and I flew to Singapore with my mom for my first ever competition. It didn't take me long to fall in love with the sport of swimming. And November of 2014 marked the beginning of my career as a young swimmer.In the past decade that I have tirelessly dedicated my time to the sport, I often felt as if I was swimming upstream against mental blocks, injuries, sickness, and plateaus. Behind the few seconds of somebody's highlight are often many sle ...

[Applause] I'm 13, standing in front of a panel of judges, clutching a stack of notes. It's my first impromptu debate tournament, and my partner, a volleyball player, looks as nervous as I feel. Our assigned topic, why soccer is better than lacrosse. That might not sound hard unless you're me because I love love love lacrosse. I've played it for years. I know the rules, the plays, and the history. And here I am with 20 minutes to prepare. A volleyball player and a lacrosse player. So qualified to argue for ...
