The wait for college offers are a slug fest. The process is stressful, tiring, and takes a toll on our mental health.

I’m into a lot of things but sadly none of them will help me win a Nobel prize. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Friendship, something that is part of our everyday lives but also something which we rarely talk about. Everyone knows friends are great, but when have we ever asked the question - "What's the Point of Friendship?" My name is Summer, I got this name from stray birds "Let life be beautiful like summer flowers", my mom wishes that I could be just like that line, to be passionate and splendid. It turns out I somehow is like that; friends would describe me as lively and outgoing. (But I’m actually INFJ) I’m an eight-grade student turning 14 this year. I really like standing on the stage. My first performance was when I’m 6, at the National Grand Theatre. Then I decided that I’m going to stick with that. Right now, I’m a script writer, director, and an actor for a production that has performed in 5+ countries and 10+ cities. I also experienced when thoughts really changed people. We once performed a scene about feminist in an Islamic country. After the show, many girls came to me and said that they had new visions about some of the parts in their belief. It helped me realize that thoughts could really change a person. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

If someone told you push-ups, out of everything, have the power of changing your life, you'll probably brush them off as insane. But in this talk, William reveals the hidden philosophies behind push-ups, and how the power of one more can change your life. I am a grade 8 student obsessed with the power of tiny habits. After the 34th time flexing at the mirror, I was left questioning my strength (and my ability to open jam jars). I stumbled onto a simple question: How could I improve my strength, thus my confidence? Armed with curiosity, my dad’s advice, and a whiteboard in my bedroom, I began tracking my progress—one pushup at a time. Day 1: 1 pushup. Day 2: 2. Day 30: 30. Along the way, I discovered something unexpected: The pushups could drastically influence my confidence (and biceps). Later I began testing the science of incremental growth on myself——and some skeptical friends. And concluded that the +1 rule is stronger than I thought. In today’s talk, I would be revealing the power of +1 and how it shapes your lives.

The first person who ran a marathon killed himself. However, he ran for a purpose, whereas today, there is no "point" in running. In today's "VUCA" world, one that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, we must ask ourselves - "Why Run"? September 2024, I completed my first Half-Marathon at age 16. Before that, I was a G11 student who likes history and the human psyche. In the 21st century we’ve become more agitated than ever to question things—"what’s the point?”—falling into a void of meaning. Some see life as laborious to the point of pointless. Others live for living. If not by necessity, why do we keep working and running? I’d like to address this nihilistic sentiment tonight through an interesting perspective—Marathon running. Since last May, I started running and have put it into my life routine. Yes, running is laborious working—nothing more than the repetition of two legs—just like life sometimes. But I wish to show that there is more to its labor and pain. By submitting to its labor, we form spirit—and from there, freedom. In answering “why we run,” I wish to show that pain and labor in life may not be pointless. By confronting them we form spirit—and from there, meaning.
