    I am young and don't know what to do with my life, but this video helps me motivate myself to change at least some part of the world.

      Hi there! I wanted to recommend you a youtube channel called The School of Life. The speaker in this video also works with them. In my humble opinion that's the best channel on youtube. They give you a lot of very valuable insights and advices on how to live better. If you wish begin with one of these videos: " How to find meaningful work" or "Memento Mori" , or " Why we're all so anxious".
      Best wishes!

    One of the best TEDx talks I've seen in a long time. It has humor, a meaningful message, and lots of practical advice.

    This was great, but one thing I would've added is small steps and the little things matter to changing someone's personal life, not just the world. The way to beat depression and anxiety is through taking it one step at a time and doing what you need to do to be healthy and be where you want to be at every moment, because every moment is an opportunity for change.

    Thank you so much for the inspiring speech! I NEVER comment on videos but now I have to thank you because you have pushed me to the beginning of one of my "change the world" projects, have given me lots of ideas and have made my day and hopefully rest of my days happier and more conscious

    Great video. Here we can affirm that we do not need to be rich or so famous for changing the world. What I would think is that the people who are changing the world are those who really care about others (animals, environments, things, situation and so on). This is an entire ocean of human feelings that need to be applied in actions

    Yesterday I was clever,
    so I wanted to change the world.
    Today I am wise,
    so I am changing myself.

    Just as our Bible and Lord said, pay attention to the "little " things..even God's imputation says: With ME, you can; without YOU , I won't! (change things...) this world needs change; and it does begin with us..and it does begin in our homes and in our life circles, society and nations...the question is not only HOW but WILL- will we do our part? I pray so...

      let your hopes emerge with others and start building a better world. soon I will start my new lifetime goal after achieving the first one. the energy he is telling about is real. I can feel change in the air. all that needs doing is to channel that energy.
      one thing for sure, change is happening.
      what change is up to you.

    This all sounds nice but. For these people to turn around and completely change there way of life for the better is no walk at the park. It cant be that simple. There has to be something more to it right. Theres always more. Things dont happen just like that no matter how bad WE want them to.

      You are right. I put in more than the time allowed. I believe it's a bit easier to follow, thanks to TH-cam, if you change the setting to make it slower.
