Beleza traz felicidade? | Ludmilla Figueiredo | TEDxParnaíba Women
Em uma era de filtros e harmonizações visuais, a beleza, que deveria ser única, está se tornando comum. Uma Dra. Ludmilla Figueiredo, médica dermatologista, sobe ao palco do TEDx para uma reflexão urgente e necessária sobre os rumores da estética. Partindo de sua experiência clínica, ela analisa por que a busca por um padrão de beleza sufocante tem levado à perda da individualidade. Com dados sobre o mercado da beleza no Brasil e insights sobre a psicologia por trás do medo de envelhecer, ela questiona: o que realmente estamos buscando ao tentar apagar nossos traços? Uma palestra esclarecedora que nos convida a ressignificar o conceito de beleza, a valorizar nossas características únicas e a entender que o desafio não é parecer jovem para sempre, mas se considerar e se amar com a passagem do tempo. Dra. Ludmilla é médica dermatologista com trajetória acadêmica e profissional de excelência. Graduada em Medicina pela UFPI, doutora pela USP e docente da Universidade Federal do Delta do Parnaíba (UFDPar).
Especialista em dermatologia estética, é também CEO da Clínica Med Unique, espaço onde promove não apenas tratamentos, mas encontros com a própria identidade, confiança e bem-estar. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

- 8:40The Psychology of Success | Alieza Singh | TEDxHIXS YouthAlieza Singh’s deeply personal talk redefines success, emphasizing resilience and self-growth over perfection and universal approval. She candidly recounts her teenage struggles with bullying, isolation, and the pressure to fit in, painting a vivid picture of the emotional rollercoaster of adolescence. A pivotal conversation with her father helped her realize that nothing stood between her and her ideal self except her own fears. This shift empowered her to stop chasing validation and start investing in academics, extracurriculars, and self-improvement. Even when she ran for student council and narrowly lost, Alieza found strength in failure, reframing it as a necessary part of growth. With maturity and vulnerability, she shares how setbacks have built her confidence, resilience, and perspective. Her central lesson—that success is “becoming better than who you were yesterday”—offers an inspiring reminder that failure isn’t the end but a stepping stone to strength, courage, and future triumphs. Alieza Singh is a versatile student and performer who combines academic curiosity with a passion for creative expression. Currently pursuing the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, she is deeply interested in understanding people, cultures, and ideas through subjects such as Economics, Psychology, and the Arts. Outside the classroom, Alieza has explored multiple forms of dance and music, which have shaped her identity as both an artist and a leader. She believes in the power of creativity to build connections, foster inclusion, and inspire change. With a strong balance of discipline and imagination, she aims to use her voice and platform to encourage others to embrace self-expression and discover confidence in their individuality.

- 6:48How to become a master of happiness | Ryu Julius | TEDxKatanoHappiness, the speaker contends, is not an emotion dictated by external conditions, but a concept we define for ourselves.During his travels, he encountered villagers living in material poverty, yet radiating with calm, genuine smiles. This sparked a powerful question: Who is truly unhappy? Further deepening this inquiry was a striking fact from psychology: “happiness” does not appear on Plutchik’s renowned Wheel of Emotions.These insights gave rise to a new educational framework—JF Education (Joy & Fulfillment)—designed to redefine how we understand happiness.In this talk, the speaker invites us to shift focus from what we lack to the value already within our reach.Happiness is not something to be granted by others, but something we awaken to ourselves. Each of us holds the power to elevate our own happiness—and that of those around us. That is the heart of this talk. “Happiness is not something to be found, but something to be created.” — An educator who lives by this belief. Ryu Julius Iwano is the founder of the R. Julius Educational Foundation and the creator of JF Education®, a philosophy-based educational system that empowers individuals to create their own happiness and live fulfilling lives. At the age of 12, Julius was introduced to a Jewish family when his sister married into their lineage. There, he encountered generations-old wisdom centered around the idea that “happiness is cultivated through meaning.” Inspired by these teachings, he went on to develop a unique educational framework that combines neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and cognitive psychology. At the heart of JF Education® are four core values: Love, Contribution, Gratitude, and Happiness. Through free schools in developing countries and corporate training programs, Julius is spreading a ripple effect of well-being—from individuals to society—through transformative education.
