In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Probably no one is gonna read these but anyway. So I was reading some comments and some people are just saying that she is only speaking about her business, that you only have to think positively or that life is short or whatever. In a certain way it is like 80% about that, however all the other stuff I would describe it as not instructional enough, why? Because is a ted talk, you won't have a lot time to explain a lot of stuff. Here is what I've noticed since I've being doing some research on accomplishing goals: -Knowing what you want in life, I've seen a lot in several videos that you have to write down your goals, and set a deadline, otherwise you'll just be thinking about something and not doing anything at all - Visualization: it's a mental tool to help you get where you wanna go, like litterally feel like you are there, picture all the details, (the unconsciousness doesn't know the difference between what's real and what's not, so if you already thinking about something, your unconsciousness will work hard to make that happen - Meditation: she said she had a lot of worries and uncertainty, one of the things that meditation does to your mind is to help you clearify all of those bad thinking and calm down your anxiety - Positive reforce thinking: Every time a negative thought comes to your mind, you have to "fight it back" with positive thinking, again cause of the unconsciousness thing. And that's so far what I can say imo. Thanks for reading ;)

    Dear Carrie, I am 64 and I am starting being an entrepeneur in Brasil. I want to say THANKS for this great video I have just watched. Many of doubts and fears you mentioned are part of my thinking and I have just realized that I have a lot of work to do on my own. Thanks again.

    I watched this video about a year ago, and during this year, my life has changed dramatically because of it. I've been looking to the world in an amazingly different way since then. Thank you so much for the inspiration. God bless you.
  • I love how she emphasized the fact that not knowing how to do it didn't stop her for going for her goals She still worked hard for it and she planned it. She was very intentional and sure on what she wanted But she also allowed herself time to figure out how to do things. The what is more important than the how 'cause the how is more technical and you can come up with something as times goes by and you get to know more on the topic

    Summary: Know exactly what you want to achieve + why you want to achieve it + who you need to become to make it happen… then program your mind to make it happen. You got this! 🎉

    This experiment demonstrates the power of your mind. The fact that what's going on upon your head has such a huge impact on the actions that you take, on the decision you make, and the things that you experience. And it's not just in silly situations like this when people miss out an amazing opportunities. People are missing out incredible opportunities all of the time.

    "Success is no accident." You definitely need to know what you want to achieve and why you want to achieve it. It's important to program your mind to do so. Phenomenal presentation.
  • @blockbusstar
    You just have one life to achieve everything you want to achieve, so act accordingly

    Great talk on how not to let fears control your life.  Your destiny is set by the choices you make.
