考數學教我學會的事 | 文詠 侯 | TEDxTaipei Fuhsing Private School
侯文詠以自身從醫學生到作家的經歷為起點,回顧高中時最害怕的科目——數學。面對壓力與焦慮,他學會了從「減法思維」轉向「加法思維」:不再糾結於不會的題目,而是先掌握會的部分。這個轉念後來也成為他面對人生挑戰的哲學——人生就像一場限時考試,時間到就要交卷,與其埋怨難題,不如專注於能完成的部分。 「人生,選擇比努力更重要。」——侯文詠以這句話道出了他對生命的深刻體悟?。從醫生到作家,他的人生是一場與內心對話的旅程。曾任主治麻醉科醫師的他,長期陪伴癌末病人,見證了無數生命的消逝,也因此深刻理解了人們在生命盡頭最在乎的是關係與意義,而非名利與地位✨。這份經歷讓侯文詠在37歲時勇敢聽從內心的召喚,棄醫從文?,專注於寫作。他希望透過文字傳遞溫暖與正向能量,用幽默與同理心帶給讀者更多啟發。他的故事告訴我們,困難是人生的禮物,而真正的選擇往往決定了我們是怎樣的人??。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 13:57Precisamos falar sobre a morte | Andreas Kisser | TEDxJundiaíAndreas Kisser compartilha uma reflexão íntima sobre cuidados paliativos e dignidade no fim da vida. A inspiração vem de sua vivência pessoal: ao acompanhar a luta de sua esposa, Patrícia, contra o câncer, deparou-se com os desafios enfrentados por pacientes em situação terminal. Dessa experiência nasceu o "Mãetrícia", movimento criado em sua memória, que transformou luto em luta. Além disso, Andreas é membro fundador do "Eu Decido", iniciativa que defende o direito de cada pessoa fazer escolhas conscientes sobre seus cuidados no fim da vida. A morte é um fato natural, mas no Brasil morrer com dignidade ainda é um privilégio. Enquanto muitos encaram a doença como castigo e a morte como fracasso, Patrícia e a família Perissinotto Kisser nos lembram que a vida se completa na morte – e que a verdadeira imortalidade está em espalhar sementes de amor e cuidado no mundo. Andreas Kisser é músico, compositor e guitarrista reconhecido internacionalmente pelo Sepultura e outros projetos musicais. Nos últimos anos, tem usado sua visibilidade para ampliar a discussão sobre cuidados paliativos e dignidade no fim da vida, unindo sua trajetória pessoal ao desejo de abrir espaço para temas essenciais na sociedade.

- 17:22Hard Work is Useless. This is What Matters. | Manav Gupta | TEDxGHRCEMNMr. Manav Gupta, a tech educator and machine learning engineer, argues that hard work alone is insufficient for success.

He also discusses leveraging the "Butterfly Effect" for massive returns from small, consistent actions. Manav Gupta is a 3x Kaggle Expert, AI Educator, and Founder of Pluto Labs, where he builds real-world AI solutions that impact thousands — from tools for the visually impaired to mental health platforms.
