When I look back at my childhood in Pakistan, I fondly remember the streets in my neighborhood bursting with color. From the vibrant red, green and yellow fabrics dangling in the windows of market stalls to the rickshaws and trucks covered in dazzing mules that zip past. Each one a moving canvas of culture.These bright colors were not just a passing thing in Pakistan. They were everywhere in the streets, trees, and even along the highways. For example, the buses in Melbourne are generally orange.I mean, we ...

Bien, yo quiero iniciar con una pregunta. ¿Alguien de aquí se llama Yolibet o alguien conoce a una Yolibet. La estoy viendo nadie. Nadie.Tranquilos, me lo esperaba. Bueno, pues ahora pueden decir que conocen una Yolivet. Me presento, si le soy sincera, toda mi vida odié mi nombre, no me gustaba para nada, era una inseguridad.Yo crecí odiando mi nombre porque muchos lo confundían, lo escribían mal, me decían Yuri Bet o cuando decía, "Me llamo Yulibet, ¿cómo?" Y termina en TH. Entonces, no me gustaba con deci ...

Good evening ladies and gents. My name is Ambassador Dina and today I'll be doing my speech on the power of the performing arts. A world without performance, imagination, expressions.A dry empty world from the bord. No emotions just bord a world with no uniqueness. It's hard to picture, isn't it.Now imagine this. One moment you're with the chief guard rounding up some mischief and Alibaba and the Bongo bandits. The next embracing yourself in Greases the word.Then you find yourself falling down the rabbit ho ...

[Applause] As a kid growing up down here on the south coast, one of my earliest memories was me sitting on the floor in the front room drawing. I loved drawing. I still do.It was one of the first things that I realized where the more effort I put into something, the better the outcome would be. As an adult, being presented with a blank piece of paper and being told to make something from nothing, it's terrifying. But not when you're a kid. When you're a kid, a blank piece of paper can be anything.Some days ...

Core Philosophy - The core philosophy revolves around "standing in" to stand out, emphasizing the importance of embracing one's unique qualities and passions [8][23] - The concept of "ikigai" is introduced, highlighting the importance of finding a reason to live by aligning what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what can generate income [2][3][4] - The industry emphasizes expressing oneself rather than merely creating content that follows trends, encouraging individuals to bring their unique perspective to their work [14][15][17] Personal Development & Career - The industry encourages individuals to tap into their unique potential and build a career based on their inner selves, rather than conforming to societal expectations [8][11][12] - Activity and continuous effort are crucial for progress, as inactivity leads to stagnation; consistent small steps are more effective than waiting for the perfect moment [17][18] - The speaker shares personal anecdotes to illustrate the importance of pursuing multiple passions and remaining active in various fields, even when facing challenges [9][10][11][21] Creativity & Innovation - The industry highlights that everyone is an artist in their own field, emphasizing the importance of self-expression and bringing unique perspectives to any endeavor [13][14][16] - The speaker uses the example of filmmakers interpreting the same script differently to illustrate the value of individual uniqueness in creative work [16] - Despite facing numerous rejections, the speaker emphasizes the importance of remaining active and persistent in pursuing one's goals [22]

Good morning Barup community. Have you guys ever felt alone or abandoned. So today I want to talk about something that many of us don't talk about enough.The emotional struggles of children. You see, people often think that childhood is about fun, play, and carefree living. And yes, childhood would be those things.But everything is not that simple. We live in a world where children feel judged and misunderstood. We hear phrases like, "You're just the kid. What do you have to worry about?" But let me ask you ...

Core Idea - The presentation explores a novel approach to art creation using brainwave technology (EEG) to translate thoughts and emotions into audiovisual art in real-time [3][4][5][6][7] - The core of art should be alive, unfiltered, present, and capturing the essence of a moment in time [2] - The presenter calls this approach "full presence expression," emphasizing creation through being rather than doing [11] Technical Aspects - EEG technology captures brainwaves, which are then translated into digital signals to generate audiovisual art [5][6] - Different brainwave frequencies (beta and gamma for active thoughts, lower frequencies for calmness) correspond to different audiovisual parameters [8][9] - The system allows for a direct, raw sensory expression from the brain to the screen, akin to playing an instrument and painting simultaneously using the mind [7] Inspiration and Purpose - The project was inspired by working with underprivileged children with autism, ADHD, motor neuron disorders, and sensory impairments, who are often excluded from traditional art forms [14][15][16] - The aim is to provide a means for these individuals to express their inner voices, feelings, and emotions through art, showcasing their inner beauty and presence [17][18] - The project seeks to redefine art and expand the definition of who can be an artist, promoting connection and understanding beyond typical labels [18][20] Key Takeaway - The presentation encourages embracing inner freedom, courage, and essence to express oneself fully, unconstrained by societal norms or limitations [19][20]
