Nr 1 — Ho-Me-I-Ku People are born to be praised | Kunio Hara | TEDxElMenzahED
Praise in Japanese is Ho-Me-Ru, meaning ‘Wishing prosperity and happiness for others’. We know how companies have mission statements but how we do a mission statement for us, on a personal level when we meet each other?

So how do you praise others every day?

‘The best advice is the advice the people give for you, not the advice what they would do if they were you, because everyone is different. Take a conscious decision that might appear very crazy and not right for others, but don’t just follow the norms blindly.’
Nr 3 — I’ve had COVID-19 for a year. Here’s what I’ve learned | Margot Gage Witvliet | TEDxMileHigh
Health expert Margot Gage Witvliet was described by doctors as ‘medically boring’ yet she was 3 times in ER due to Covid-19 and was getting worse by the day. She had severe shortness of breath and due to wrong treatments she end up with severe neurological problems and chronic fatigue.
‘We all have biases but doctors, same as with teachers, judges, police officers .. they need to train themselves to drop those biases at the door when they enter their work place’.

‘Trauma is very real.’ At age of 17 Dr Gregory Smith was diagnosed by the state’s psychiatrist as a sociopath, though, as he says in this talk ‘it takes a lot of hard work to live up to the label’.
After going through a lot of trauma in his life and felt kicked out of society Gregory felt safe in a rain forest for a first time in his life. He became a forest hermit, half deaf, alone, angry, paranoid, traumatised, homeless and an alcohol addict, living on the mountain top.
This talk was given with a great sense of humour. He graduated at age of 48 and got his PhD in 2016. Only 1.2% of the population in Australia have PhD and only 0.48% of homeless people got to that level. Dr Gregory Smith is ‘a living proof that there is always a path back and is never, ever too late.

Nr 7 — The Power to Design a Life You Love | Hassan Akmal | TEDxColumbiaUniversity

He was a professional tennis player and as such the mindset was the biggest key for success at that time. Hassan escaped from being taken hostage in Afghanistan and shared his learning’s from different stages of his life. He says “We all need a purpose greater than ourselves” and asked a very relevant question “What’s your motivation?”
Nr 8 — Autoestima: o poder de ser você mesmo | Camila Coutinho | TEDxSaoPaulo

‘How much do you love yourself from 1 to 10?’ Do you have a bad relationship with yourself? As a person who will soon turn 30 María shares how social media changed her life and self esteem; how Instagram’s pictures of girls with perfect bodies and couples who looks perfect actually bring constant frustration in the society. In reality majority of those photos have been processed with filters and photo editing software so the end product is far from reality. We should love our bodies for the way they are, love the people around us for who they are. ‘Dont listen to people you dont know in person.’, says María, ‘Nobody is perfect. Even the people you think are perfect have their complex problems which are completely valid.’
