ourselves and our world, and to inspire ideas and action for a better
future for us all. Founded in April 2009, we are 100%

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)

Among all the speakers under Ted X Singapore, I only managed to sit through yours. Not only did I finish the whole video, all 19 minutes of it, I thoroughly enjoyed it. There's something about the way you talk that draws attention and you're natural. You are SHARING while many of them sound like they're reciting a script.

Ive learnt something here. Never give up even when others said cannot be done. Believe in yourself.

[@nintandao64]

19 minutes well spent. This was unexpectedly profound.
