A comment on Talk: Amy Purdy: Living beyond limits

Jan 6 2013: Thank you, Amy! This was a beautiful talk as well as your story. It really leaves the rest of us with no excuse for not doing what we feel right about.
A comment on Talk: Chimamanda Adichie: The danger of a single story

Jan 3 2013: It made me think about single stories I took as the only stories. This talk is definitely an eye-opener.
A comment on Conversation: Neil Pasricha: What do you do to make your life awesome? Extended until 2016*

A comment on Talk: John Wooden: the difference between winning and succeeding

Dec 7 2012: "Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming."

Very inspiring! Made me think of times when I was feeling quite unsuccessful, although the people around me thought very differently. I wondered why we had completely different perspectives and started thinking something must have been wrong with my view of reality or self-esteem.

Now I think maybe I was doing the wrong things, and even though I was good at them, I never had that peace of mind because I knew that doing them I wouldn't become the best I was capable of becoming. Thank you for sorting this out for me!
