smiling and finding the humor are part of being positive.... One lady came up to me at a resturaunt and said she really enjoyed my laughter...it really made her feel good, she said seeing and hearing it is rare. I didn't realize I was exuding happiness, I actually felt really discouraged
So much humanity and sincerity in you. You have made a difference in the world you live in.
Your so humble and im shock of how your speech is simple and meaningful ❤️
Amazing ...the day we learn to really appreciate and be thankful for what we have instead of looking for the negative; this world would be so different..we need more people like this lady.
So honest and vulnerable. A real and simple person with real and simple messages. Loved it :)

I don’t know this woman but I love her!
❤💚 Helen you touched my heart. You are so real and genuine. You talk about positivity yet you are so real and honest about it.
And when you teared up when you mentioned being so far away from your family. And how much you miss them.
I also dropped a few tears. I miss my children, its been almost 6 years since I saw them last.
You said nonetheless.....move back to the good in the process, and that's exactly what I did. I reminisced standing in my friends house almost 20 years earlier; saying to him: "I will probably never have children my condition makes it impossible"
How lucky I am for having children and being able to be with them for the years I was with them. 💚❤
Hello
I would like to thank this lady deep from the bottom of my heart.. Amazing speech !!!
Breathe, it's ok. Your message is strong and many need your outlook. I needed it. Thank you for sharing
I don’t know if you ever read these Helen but this talk helped me a lot. Thank you.

I had tears in my eyes for most of this. Thank you for sharing. So brave. I am so touched. sniffle

I can relate to what she said about water in Africa. Spent a few weeks in Rwanda and we did so much with so little compared to here in the U.S. Bathed, washed dishes, washed clothes, cooked. When you have to carry your water you will use it frugally.
Such a humble and genuine person.
Good message. She was so nervous... reminded me a lot of my first time speaking in public.
@ 17:50 thank you Helen
Simple yet true. Love her speech.

Amazing speech ! so inspiring
Ofcourse, we are all part of atoms and atoms can be attracted by a simple gravitational law so does our mind.
Being miserable is okay. We're humans, we're not perfect. But, live is too beautiful for just being unhappy. Stay positive and face every thing positively
Many thanks, It is nice to see how positiveness helps us and the world. Smiles and Positive thoughts to all of you

Amazing lady
It's easy to be positive when you're born into and always happen to manifest favourable circumstances. Spare a thought for victims of abuse, racism, bullying, discrimination and many other afflictions. There are some of us who are constantly stifles, belittled, insulted, attacked, hated so much that simpy getting up & moving is a struggle never mind anything else.
Most people go through really severe things in life. Even than it is better and possible to create a positive mindset.
Most people experience really severe problems in their life at some point. Really. Even than its better and possible to create a positive mindset. There are even people in Auschwitz that created this mindset.
Marleen V Yeah, but it’s hard to put a positive outlook on life when you’re constantly put down from things that just don’t stop.
Victim mentality doesn’t help either
Ignore this comment as this is a personal msg
For michael,
Of course im just here for you. If that time comes when we become together, you can gradually adapt a new way of dealing with life. I believe that life has many complexities that must be considered.
You probably just overthink because you're empty or bored there.
Although words can help you find your own healthy and fixed identity, sometimes, it can also be achieved gradually...maybe by loving or being more in touch with reality/being more grounded while you're with me.
I just want you to feel somewhat relaxed because idk what you're doing or undergoing everyday.
what a beautiful person
What would make you feel poweful
So great video
Superb.
I will also add that the power of negativity is also important
more power to you for having the courage to go on a stage in saudi arabia without a curtain over your face
AAA you I am not a poet I also had a philosophy I had a male child that I used to tell him I don't lay down with you I don't get up with you I am the assistant to assist you that you may be able to assist yourself you have your own we are not joined now that he's older he tells me thank you I am not read thank you now I have no need of building a school to understand these humble things nobody never put the Eyes on love I so appreciate you as humble as you are thank you cuz somebody better know something about something that no one tell no one that they know nothing about nothing I would not want anybody to be lost neither neither confused especially regarding your shower attitude regarding the situation changing the disposition of the attitude that wasn't a change it was very regular it wasn't water flown don't let love start love knows not the word so others never get lost with they forgot did I say thank you
It was good
How can anyone downvote this??
Wow what a wonderful women
Guys now in Saudi Arabia women’s can drive!
12:30
Nice talk, yes true! When u change the way u look at things, the things u look change.
just to correct her on the water issue, while it is true that Africans get a long with less water than most other countries. The error is that 3l of water per day is the water supplied divided by the number of people. but many people stay along rivers and other water sources and have no formal infrastructure. In my experience it closer to 20 liters a day, still little but not 3. that would mean they never flush a toilet. well many dont have toilets so its a bit different than what you compare it to in first world countries. A great deal of Africans do not get their water through water supply infrastructure but either from communal taps or rivers
Amazing talk
This lady is doing a ted talk in a country like saudi arabia wearing a skirt!! Incredible!!!
Maybe that's why she was deported
If I were a wealthy man,
Such things I'd give to thee:
All gauges and guises
Of umpteen surprises,
And wealthy I'll someday be.
If I were a clever man,
Such things I'd build for thee:
All manner of modes
Of humble abodes,
And clever I'll someday be.
If I were a travelling man,
Such things I'd bring to thee:
All features and faces
Of faraway places,
And travelled I'll someday be.
If I were a braver man,
Such things I'd promise thee:
All valour in verses
Of tethering curses
Will someday be set free.
How mych do you make in Saudi Arabia as an expat ? 15000 usd ? It must help being positive.
Time never gets lost with range Rings never gets lost with time now you said that you were in Saudi Arabia range has never been lost with time that somebody always understands the difference I believe this so is never about location regarding attitude of behavior I like nothing about reminding behaviors it was never a change in patterns that was not a rug especially when I did not rise with the Sun love knows not the word did I tell you thank you how many people have you assisted oh wonderful you that anybody anywhere will be to forget not to get caught up in rewinding rewinding behaviors so it was never about anything that anybody ever built that was going to stop the truth I believe it's my happiness of not having a crown I don't have a drum in the Congo love never changes is it the year 0000 love knows not the word play the year 2019
All TH-cam trolls listen up
The world is not all negative
Hey how you I am not read thank you
She lost me when she said there is no water in Africa. There are places in U.s where there is no water
Amaka Imebuogu Yeah but as Africa experiences drought more because it is basically on the equator, it’s way way worse there.
She’s from Europe how is she supposed to know that? The US is not the center of the world
Sad that you would dismiss the real message contained in her talk over that. Sounds like you could benefit from learning some positivity.
Little girl Mother Teresa I am not I do not rise with the sun my name is Lisa I am the Pope tell no one in Saudi Arabia really good everybody understand everywhere nowhere that is highly respected that is not range love knows not the word play I believe
Всё дело в ПАЛКЕ, так проще...
Марфа Задонская love you
Yeah I’m afraid it’s not possible for me jokes on the world I am okay * narrator* ; she was not okay
it was my fault ?
Admitting and owning your mistakes - Powerful and sets you free of guilt
She is talking about Saudi Arabia like she is talking about some country in EU. 1st of all, in Saudi Arabia most women cover their faces so no one can see whether they are smiling . 2nd, in countries like Saudi Arabia women smiling especially in public & while waiting for a cab is translated as come & get it. I think Americans & Europeans go on trips like this so that later they can do a Ted Talk or write a book about it & become famous. Also, those Saudi Sheikhs have enough money to hire someone to do any kinda of research they want. They don't need her.
seems as if she herself needs a lot of help. What is the use of her lection?
Alice I would say the important of her lecture is when you feel vulnerable because of negative thoughts and experience change your thoughts to positive. There are millions of people who get stuck in a sea of despair and negative thoughts, some work through it some can't. Remember when she spoke of the water. That in itself was powerful. if you don't believe her try bathing brushing your teeth cooking and drinking with a gallon of water.
Blah blah get to the point Helen
Her "uhms" annoy me a lot.
I truly hope that whoever is running this TEDx fired the audio guy. I can’t even listen to it because it’s hurting my ears with all of the reverb.
