In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Inhale Love. Exhale Gratitude

Through personal experience of working for many non profit organizations and volunteering in many slums around the world, I hope to share stories about how being more grateful has changed my life. The talk will also cover some significant scientific researches and studies about the relationship between gratitude and happiness. I believe that learning to live our life as if everything were a miracle, and being aware on a continuous basis of how much we have been given, we will all become happier and have a more meaningful life.
