  • Alex Wadelton has done lots of dumb things in his life.
    Dumb things that have raised millions of dollars, helped hundreds of thousands of people, and changed his way of life forever.
    By using The Power of Dumb, he’s plucked his hair out for a kid’s cancer charity, broken the Guinness World Record for the longest duration touching tongue to nose, danced a marathon in his living room during the world’s longest COVID lockdown, and even turned a photo of the most iconic image in Australian sporting history into a ten foot tall bronze statue.
    In his talk, he will prove to you that everyone should be doing more dumb stuff. Because when you lean into The Power of Dumb you'll laugh more, you'll learn more, and you'll love life more. Truly, it just might be the smartest thing you ever do. Alex Wadelton is a Creativity Evangelist. He’s the co-author of two best-selling books called The Right-brain Workout, has raised millions of dollars for a range of causes, and believes passionately that creativity is the key to humanity’s future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    At 22, while going through a deep depression, I chose to spend some time homeless in LA. Opened my mind to how blessed I was and how much of a change I'd like to help make in the world

      @@nura256 I’m sorry. I don’t really have a playlist with titles and names of speakers. Not rude of you to ask. I would just be exposing my utter lack of mental organization to even attempt. The themes that impress me tend revolve around quality of life.

    I think doing crazy stuff can be fun. I think looking at life from both sides is important.

    I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967716649494 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-◊~◊~◊~~•=~•~◊~◊~◊~،~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I..i.i.i.i.i.¡!i.I.،:;:|-،،،.،.،،،.............................
