How to Be Happy Every Day: It Will Change the World | Jacqueline Way | TEDxStanleyPark 

I actually see it as good news Ella. People are realizing they aren't happy and want to move towards things that resonate with them on how to increase their happiness. It worries me more that people aren't even aware of it and aren't looking for ways to increase their personal happiness. If the 1 billion people that are suffering so much in our world all worked towards inner happiness what a shift in the world we would see. This is only a very small percentage that has found this talk. We so appreciate the time you took and I hope this conversation resonated with you how you can add happiness to your life every day. Have a beautiful day.

This was just on the recommended list because I've watched other tedx talks. Watched it all and I'm glad I did. I am going to do the 365 give challenge with my family!!

Inspiring speech yet being misunderstood by some commenters in here. We shouldnt take it in literal way, however, this could be an icing on the cake in terms of inspiration. Just saying though☺️

I was 30 seconds away from shoving a knife in my throat I’m not kidding idk I just idk how it got like this

😭

John Cassell how nice of you!! I also want to tell you that one simple, caring, comment like yours...can change someone’s whole day! Thank you for being so thoughtful and genuinely sweet! You have a great day John!

Me too John! Most people that find us are searching for happiness. SOme easy road that will suddenly change everything for them but happiness takes time to build inside yourself. It has to be a daily practice and make it a priority in your life every day. We send everyone love who is looking. Thank you so much for taking the time and wish you a beautiful day.

thank you. This shows one simple comment can change a persons perspective and mood.

@@nunyabidnazz2311 Agree!

Respect my friend

-mentor struggling youth -teach your trade to those struggling for free -lend an ear to those that need it -become an accountability partner for those improving their lives -spend time with elderly

Help people realise that sadness is what we create not what exists A similar version of what the guy abive said

Kind words

Positive vibes to a negative person...that's 👍

Give our time. Listen to him/her. Sympathise with people. Send silent gratitudes everyday before you sleep, who have helped you, made you smile etc...

searching for happy means you are not happy at the moment. Searching something is a neverending process. be happy at present.

but lets be honest... we've all been sad and searched for ''how to happy''

Same oof

Me too:( like actually

YOUSSEF MAMDOUH me too😔

Me too

Me too

Yes, exactly.

You are an awesome person!!! It will get better, start with a positive mindset while their are many negative things in the world, you should try to focus on the positive 🤟

Spoke my words

You got this! ❤❤❤

If your not living for your purpose you'll not be happy, serving the self dwelling on the self over thinking about the self is all recipes for anxiety. God created to Love and serve.... that;s the key to life. I hope you find this truth and wake up knowing your loved and are just a little lost in the world because the world teaches us to be selfless and unhappy.

Same here man. I hope you are better tho ❤️

Same here hope you guys are better

I love you too. 💚

hey broski, hope you've been doing well!

Thank you i needed this sm💕😭

Love you ❤

Thanks i needed that

blessings to you and yours

Thank you. I seem incapable of having a happy life.

Yep I'm here too trying to remember what it is to b happy just happy. I'm 38 and forgot

@@brodyszone157 we think that we could really be happy when we were kids right now, I'm 18, and this is what we all think probably you too, even when we would be 80 years old we would think we should've enjoyed in our 30's and 20's, but now i think we either enjoy our whole life or live our life miserably. We should cherish every moment. And ik to know that we came here finding this video, but personally i think we have to find it ourself.

Good news Vaibhav - you nailed it in your last comment. You can search for happy videos all you want but it comes from you. The great news is you are recognizing you aren't happy and you want something different. This is the great thing about our bodies and brains. If you need to get to that feeling go and give, be grateful. When you get a taste of how it feels you will want more. The more moments you get the more you want and the more you will know from the inside this is exactly what life is meant to be. You get to choose every single day you wake up. Choose happy. Say it to yourself in the mirror every morning. Happiness is a choice and if you need some help getting there go out and give. Then you have happy and meaning. COngrats you did make it and you are on your way. Every day we are all on our way.

I am searching for happiness in my pain wow 🙂

@@vaibhavphuloria4059 one of my fears, ending up, not enyoying life. Then why do I life. You are 18 as well? How do you handle life? I am about your age and now have to choose what to study on university, whitout knowing who I am and what I want to be. So afraid of ending up in a job or a life, I don't like.

Very greatful 💕😭

I believe you

Thank you. It helped me

💖

This made me cry

We don't disagree iFerg but it is also the lens you choose to see the world right now. SO much good going on and so much good you can contribute to right now. It was time for the world to get quiet for a while. We hope you enjoy the peace and the beauty in the day today.

Over 1 million subs and only a few know that you commented here on this video, Crazy!

What are you doing here ferg lmao

It is, indeed. It's been 6months, hope you're all good and perfectly happy right now. 🤍

Wtf iferg ya life is great btw love the codm content

So agree "I love Pewds" It's part of giving - , gratitude, compassion, kindness. When we fill ourselves with gratitude it is the time we can fill others. Your happy and you bring others happiness. Thank you so much for the time with us and your wisdom. Have a beautiful day.

This. 100% agree

Couldn't of said it better myself, spot on 😊

I’m not lucky to be on this planet, I’m unlucky. I wish I could give up my place to someone else

KpopTea But you need to ask yourself why. Maybe you DO know why you are unhappy but ask yourself what are you doing not to be?What are you doing to heal yourself? And most importantly remember that there’s a reason why you were born on a specific time at a specific place and not someone else. You have a purpose and you are important. There’s a reason you were put in this earth and not another person in your place. I know for me my purpose is to help. I love philanthropy, etc. What’s worse? Decide why are you important to this world

thank you

Yes! & now you have a memory. Memories build.

Bravo that’s lovely

i feel like you should be an author, I'd want to read your book!

You know me

That's a great idea.

Wow so true. Ty

Seems like inherent optimism bias and terror management theory will always help regardless of ideologies such as antinatalism based on consent.

thats a catch all that doesn't apply to as many people as you think

Me too bro now I want to have never existed

I feel the same as you !! Do you guys also think that this whole new time with social media( Instagram, Twitter etc.) kind of destroyed our society? because I do I wish everything would be like 10-20 years ago!😕

Every time you exhale, the trees inhale. You are giving CO2 to them at every moment. So think about it and be happy at every moment 🤗🤗.

@@flowerssmile 10 years ago it was already the same... Social media social media social media. It started in 2005 with MySpace and some others. In 2011 Twitter and Facebook were booming and people were already complaining about social media.

@@pereiraplaza222 I saw a show from the mid 60's with a panel of comedians, writers, producers. Norman Lear made a sadly negative comment about how fast the world was changing (for the worst.) ...'what is it going to look like in 20 years.' I'm so grateful I was born in the early '50's and can still remember those 'good old days'....no, those GREAT old days!

This is wonderful only in America

Yeah! I agree with you sir.If you want to be successful have the mindset of the rich, spend less and invest More. Don't give up your dreams.

People come here with the aim of chasing money more than knowledge and that will damage your progress, trust me. Chase knowledge first and I promise! The money will follow you just like it's following some of us now.

@@tianalucas8147 That's very correct And that is why most of them end up losing they moneyDon't be in a haste to invest. Know what and who you are investing to and be sure that the person will deliver before investing. Learn and get the knowledge first before investing..

@@donaldjason195 People wants to do what the 99% does but wants to get results that are fit for the 1%, but it doesn't work that way

@@slimejohn808 Investment is the quickest path to financial freedom, the rich stays rich by spending like the poor yet investing! While the poor stays poor by spending like the rich yet not investing.

Searching for answers is the first step to having a happier and better life. Don’t beat yourself up too much. I know you still have it in you to keep fighting! ❤️

The silver lining is that suffering invites us to explore an alternative. Suffering is often a gateway to the spiritual path and ultimately a sense of inner peace.

Me too :(

Same here

And how are you today?

But must I therefore become a Tibetan meditating monk?🤔 How do I realize this practicly?

Free will and happiness is not necessarily controlling your mind , its being the witnessing presence behind understanding how your mind works. Observing your own mind if you will

@@joepronhaar5682 understanding is easy, applying it is the real challenge... Life throws various situations at you everyday where you get to witness your ego and desires through actions, thoughts and words (yours as well as others). How you react to others' words and actions is your ego, and how well you control your reactions and actions shows how well you have subdued your ego. Ego creates desires for gratification of mind and senses, through enjoyment of worldly pleasures. Realize that all pleasures are evanescent and a temporary illusion, and you will gradually rid yourself of attachments to worldly things and pleasures.

Buddha is a gangsta 🤙

Thanks for your answers!

learn to embrace the grind and focus on what you're fighting for instead of how hard the fight is, the grind is forever

@@Giovanni-vn8ew that's so depressing 😅

Don’t do what you won’t make you happy

I know what you mean. I have been in your shoes. I graduate in November and I feel so proud because I had to do it and now I am finish. I know how you feel but when you have accomplished the goal at the end you will be so happy. Exercise and eat properly. It give you more energy and positivity. I also live on dorm and was very active involve in activities. Those activities have me joy because I would connect with friends and dorm mate. It does get better keep pushing forward 💪. You can do it.

@@tiyanablake2534 thank you ☺️

SO HAPPY you decided to take that step and take care of YOU!!! this will be the beginning of changing everything!

Liz Brousseau thankyou so much. I wish you the very best too 🤗

❤️🦋

I wish you are fine now ❤️

@@Jananokari I’m in a better place now, thankyou for asking. Hope all is well with you

I agree Coffee with C. We all matter. We just need to remember this and give easily from our heart. Have a beautiful day and thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

Jacqueline Way My pleasure Jacqueline. Keep doing what you are doing. We need more people like you in this world, and it starts from influence and impact. Wherever you are in this world, I am supporting you in spirit.

@@CoffeeWithC That was beautiful thank you. I love I have your spirit and energy with me. Your 365give today! I'm in Canada and feel blessed to have so much love coming from all over the world. Have a beautiful day.

@@darshanmakwana5151 Hello!!!

Ty

anybody reading this who is suffering, know that you are loved and there is another way to live in which you no longer mentally argue with what is

Thank you i needed it❤️

How about old souls????

@@HisisMichelineFournier ❤️🍀

Very true. People who are stingy are sad most times

In reality though, people lead busy lives and hardly notice. And sometimes they think you're buttering them up to ask for a favor. And they don't particularly appreciate being your charity project. It's a nice thought but I would do it as a character-building exercise. I wouldn't expect it to make me happy

True..making others happy makes us happy. Especially when we give someone who desparately needs it.

True tho ❤️

You are beautiful - in and out. I hope you can push thru and achieve everything you set out to achieve. And show depression who's the boss. 😤😤😤

@@myotheraccount17 thank you so much for the words❤️

@@avblack98 you are very welcome. Hope you are having a better day than when you first posted your comment. ✨

I hope you're a lot better now ❤

this too shall pass....try to make it a point of always having positive thoughts. One small positive thought can change your days! I found a lot of help writing a gratitude journal, I wrote something I was grateful for no matter how small...soon I focused on the positive and destroyed the negative thoughts. I will pray for you!

@@rosilatrailera glad to hear i'll be in your prayers. i'll pray for your betterment as well stranger. proud of you to be able to fight off those feelings. keep going forward every single day bc you're way stronger than you think :)))))

You only live once to build your … eternity 🕊🌷

A little correction: You live everyday and only die once.

Ye, I also have body dysmorphia

That we understand. Soometimes when we give of ourselves to much it takes away from giving to ourselves. I have this problem all the time. Don't take the happiness out of giving by not keeping clear boundries as well. Giving isn't the only "pillar" of happiness. Taking caare of yourself, our bodies, getting out in nature and gratitide are also so impoartant. Why not take some time to give to yourself. Finding the happiness from inside will give so much to the world around you and others. Sometimes the best way to give back to the world. Thank you for watching Mekenzie and the really thoughful comment. We wish you a day filled with happiness and giving for you.

It's important to find a balance, as with everything in life. We can not live with out water, however too much water can kill us. I often encourage people to give only what they can afford to. It can even be the smallest things/ little moments. Holding the door for someone, compliments, a hug, telling a joke, even a smile. When I'm having a bad day or week sometimes I just count the smiles exchanged, appreciating that me and someone else brightened each other's day. Costs nothing but a moment and can be very effective!

@@catl2223 So agree Cat. The reason we say 1 give, 1 day at a time - so simple a 3-year old can do it. Just creates the balance and flow of positive energy and feelings of both the giver and receiver. Thank you so much for such a great comment and for watching. It means so much to Nic and I. Have a beautiful day.

Well said.

@@crowderwork thank you! Nic and I so appreciate you watching. Have a lovely day.

No mamm, it's almost 2 am and yup here we are

Lol me too

Same 3AM 😅

Literally 3:27am rn 😭

It's exactly 3AM haha. Its the peak time of depression lmao

Find something to be thankful for.

Agree! I start my day every day with 3 things. One of my favorite ways to give is to send someone a gratitude note out of now where. It's truly healing!

I’m 29 and I’m trying to eliminate these negative emotions from my life by the time I’m thirty. If there’s one piece of advice I can give you, it’s this: Don’t drink away your emotions.

Emily McBride you’re not supposed to have life figured out at 18! ❤️

@@avitiusrufinus6980 what happened to you that hurt you? Who hurt you?

What they don't say is that when you change, relationships can change. You have to want to transform so much you are willing to sacrifice the old and build new.

@@woodspriteful @Jennifer E. Nordstrom That's a good point! It has come to me after some introspection after posting this comment 10 months back. I sacrificed my previous interests for growth. Certainly when you change your weaknesses vanquish but your strengths change as well.

So agree but they don't have to. We have just taught them well. Kids are resilient and when we teach them skills that make them happy they run with it. They want to feel good we just have to teach them how. Thank you for taking the time to watch. Nic and I so appreciate your time. Have a beautiful day.

I'm frickin 13 and currently trying to find how to be happy, and make it stay.

Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "how do you find happiness in a book?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Soyailey Simplex Sovereignty - (do a search on google ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to become successful and happy minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my m8 got great success with it.

@Eternal Serenity Well, if nobody suffered, then we wouldn't cherish happiness as much But I feel the same

@Gpooky You need to keep waiting, especially since you're 15. There are things to come that you'll definitely want to see and experience that will come when you are older.

SPLASH H thank you so much sweetheart, it made me feel better even after a bad days ❤️

Amen Splash! We so agree. We all have a purpose here on our planet and we have to see past what's in front us and find what is within us. beautiful comment and thank you for taking the time to watch. We so appreciate your time.

@@jacquelineway Thank you so much! We all should know that we can be great people and do great things if we put the work in!

thanks splash h, God bless. reading ur comment made me think ❣

My purpose is to be a fertilizer for the earth and to be eaten by worms.

I have forgotten how to be happy. I'm just a mean grumpy woman. I am trying to change this.

I so agree Ronald. the reason I took the time to get beyond my fear of speaking to the world and try to help people understand how they can get back to the reason we are here on this planet. We are meant to feel happy and we have gotten lost somewhere along the way. Happiness is just a feeling. What makes life worth truly living is purpose and meaning. We are here to have a meaningful life filled with experiences that create feelings of happiness. Giving is just one of those ways to create both. The feelings of happiness and meaningful life. The fun is the journey. When you give it makes the journey remarkable. The people you meet, the way you connect to nature, our planet and animals. It opens your eyes to this amazing gift we have been given. Start by giving to yourself - start the day with gratitude for another day to find your path to happiness. You are looking for it the reason you are here. Start giving yourself grace, and love. When you find it in you - it will overflow to everyone around you. Have a beautiful day.

I am happy

@@brodyszone157 how do you try to change?

@@jacquelineway thanks for your beautiful and wise words. Do you have any tips on how to make money or find a fulfilling job?

Thank you Wedookie I so appreciate such a wonderful comment. There are lots of people like me and everyone can do exactly what we have done and still do. It's inside all of us we just have to make it a priority in our life - a daily habit just like brushing our teeth. Give it a try you may just surprise yourself. That comment was your first 365give! You made my day and made me happy. Thank you.

The point is that we can all be like this. Earth could be heaven... Its meant to be. And we can all do our little bit. Its how we save the world.

Alex grey and Tool are my favorite. So naturally I gravitated towards you. I also am a recovering alcoholic of 15 years. I finally quit about 6 months ago. I feel so much better and I WILL never waste time again on alcohol in this lifetime. You got this! I want to see you next to me in the sober life.

Thank you, Lucy, for watching and I hope is such a wonderful way to look at the talk. It's hope for you and hope for us all. I am so sorry you are feeling desperate. I wish you receive the benefits of giving when you reach out to others. When you give you will be surprised how you will also receive. I wish you hope and happiness.

Hope ur feeling better, Lucy ❤️

Reach out to your loved ones! In finding the right person with whom we can share everything, we forget, we have them already! Take care! :)

Sane

My name is Lucy too. God bless us Lucy.💗

Every time I am struggling, even with the worst sorts of things, after acknowledging that whatever it is that sucks is a difficulty, j have been taught to make a gratitude list. It may sound silly, but it helps refocus your thinking . You can have gratitude just for breathing, if need be. Gratitude for love, now, past, or future. Gratitude for the opportunity to help another. It can be infinitesimally small, the thing for which you have gratitude. Build from there. I wish you health, happiness, and peace.

@@dtschuor459 I'll try to make it and I don't think it's silly at all 🌸 thank you so much for your kindness wish you all the beautiful things that the world can give 💞

Wise words like none other. Imam Ali (as) 🙌

Indeed

Thanks for watching Gillybloggs. It can drive you a little crazy! It's all about balance. If you take a look a few comments ago a gentleman made a great comment - "This is how the internet and social media can make the world a better place" We just have to use social for the good. If give - then we share it on social - it will continue the ripple that can make the world happier. It's been remarkable for sharing this message and the change we are already seeing. Thank you for taking the time to watch and great comment. Great thought! Maybe share some of your good on social today and it will make you happy! Have a great day.

Well, it depends. I have a lot of online friends on social media and they make me happy. So like, it depends on the person.

😅😅😅😅very good

It’s not social media it’s reality that makes me sad

Thank you David! That makes us so happy!

What changed? Mindset I assume but how did you do it? :)

Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends.

It's that easy Lamya. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and the lovely comment. Nic and I hope it has inspired you to give today. Have a beautiful day.

I wish i would have wrote this comment. THANK YOU

I am honoured thank you so much. So many as you heard are suffering from depression. You re not alone. take some time to truly learn and understand about your body chemistry. That balance I spoke about between cortisol and your happy hormones. We all have the ability to shift these physically and the mental you need to work on. It takes time but we can retrain our brains to look at the world differently. Giving will get you out. Create social connections. Make relationships with others that feel the same way. This is what you need. Surround yourself with positive people that want to work towards a better happier world and it will help to create the physical and mental shift you need. Thank you for taking the time and most of all this was your 365give today. A positive comment goes a long way t omake another happy. You just did that for Nic and I. Have a beautiful day.

ゆめぽんた I really hope you’re doing better

@@jacquelineway 🙏🙏🙏 thank you

Thank you MN I am honoured. When you are depressed you are just stuck in your head. The best way to get out of your head is to live from your heart. When we give to others this is the shift that happens. But you have to practice this every day. Our brains are like a computer that just goes back to playing the same program over and over again. You have to retrain your brain to look and act differently in our world. I am so glad I gave you some happiness and by you watching you gave e happiness. That easy. Have a beautiful day.

@@jacquelineway do you have an email

Hey everything will be fine Take care

Thank you, Shoto. I so appreciate your kind words. Your 365give for today. We all do our best. Not perfect - just our best. Showing respect for others work is such a beautiful way to give. You truly made my day and I am so grateful. Have a lovely day.

Jacqueline Way Your welcome.

Raeko you have a chance to be happy every single day you wake up. We all do it's just a matter of focusing and understanding how you can create it in your life. We all look to the outside world for happiness and you will never get it there. Happiness is a feeling you can get any time - the beautiful part of being human. You get to choose every day. Giving is just a way to hack your brain to feel any time you choose. Just think of giving as the life Hack to Happy every day. Once you get the feeling hold on to it and run with it. Thank you so much for watching. Nic and I so appreciate it. Have a beautiful day!

Raeko watch the videos on my channel they will help you regain your happiness.

Jacqueline Way Thank you so much!! im rlly sry i didnt see your reply! Ive been better lately and you have really helped:)

Agree Yung it was crazy. The joy of live recordings. We lost a sound bite and had to re-record it after the talk.

Jacqueline Way it actually works

I have been living with the same problems since I was 15 so I am very jealous of you right now. If I could be 14 again, I would NEVER spend my days fearing I couldn't achieve or learn something and then not even trying I would give myself as much time as I need to accomplish anything I want and never procrastinate again. I'd never develop my bad relationship with food, i wouldn't avoid my problems I would face them as soon as they occurred and by now, i would've accomplished everything that I've been trying to do since I was 14.

I'm 14 nd I searched up for this too 💛 Ur not alone

Ik whos fault is it why we're not happy it's called social media

It's not fair

@@bubbabubba6427 by saying social media I mean apps like Instagram twitter, facebook ,snapchat etc... I don't use any of them (it's almost been a year since I stopped using them) I only watch RU-vid which I use for only like 30 to 40 minutes per day 💁‍♀ bro it really helps when u stop using those time wasting apps... Ive started focusing on things which are more important for me and I feel alot better and happy now 😀

Don't take everything personally then u get happiness at right moment 😜

Girl you got this! You are here for a reason. And I know you are smart and strong enough to pull through! How is life going for you right now?

I am hoping this is a good thing! If our talk touched your heart than we are truly humbled Marta. Thank you for watching and we hope it will inspire you to take a look around your world today and find one small way to give. 🙏🌎💙

@@jacquelineway Your a great person. Respect what you do!!

I'm sorry

Same we’re gonna be ok tho

Marta Fabic Same, hope your okay.

Holly, I continue to say the same thing to my kids. I am one of 6 kids and I cherish my siblings to this day. I couldn't do life without them. They were my biggest fans while I worked on this talk. My kids are all adopted and I tell them all the time what a gift it is we were all brought together and one day - when they stop fighting over the smallest toy lol - that they will be each other's biggest fans. I hope one day they will look back the same way we both do and appreciate what they have learned and how much they mean to each other. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave us a message. It means so much to us to hear from so many around the world. Have a wonderful day!

I'm one of seven kids. I couldn't imagine life without even one of them.

Amen!

good

This is so true.

Right on the nose Naomi!! Love that! Thank yo for watching!

Thanks for watching Hilary. And it is all the simple. Show the world kindness - help your neighbours. WIth all that we have going on in our world who knew it could be this simple. But we all need to do it. Not just me and Nic but the other 7 billion people on our planet. We really appreciate your time watching and commenting Hilary. Have a great day!

My pleasure. Thank YOU! :+) Hope you have a great day too. :)

Hi Dominique! I can totally relate. I suffered from both for many years. You are definitely not alone! If you ever need an ear, just reach out! ❤️

Sending you lots of love and strength in your pursuit of happiness, it comes from within, practice being happy even if it feels fake for a while and it will come to you eventually. We are too used to practice being sad and negative, it isn't easy to be positive most of the times and enjoy the little things in life but it can be done with practice, I am still working on it myself. In the meantime I'd like to invite you to check my relaxation videos which I hope can also bring you some comfort and peace in an anxious moment. Peace x

I suffered from depression since 16 then at 17 i got cancer at 19 in still in depression its hards

Yeah and it's really hard to motivate yourself

positives vibes only

Some of us don’t appreciate getting lied to

It's just digging in to find our "humanity" and letting it shine. Thank you for being a giver I'm glad you have learned the secret to "happy". Have a lovely day and thank you for watching. It means the world to me.

Stratis, I am so sorry for some reason my reply did not get posted. Thank you so much for your lovely comment and taking the time to watch. Obviously, you are one of "those humans" you talk of.

Love and respect from India.

Thank you actsrv9. Nic and I so appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. We hope you will be inspired to find a way to give today. Have a happy day!

Hi Soumya. Thank you for sharing your story with me. I didn't say this in my talk but when I started 365give I had a really big dream. I wanted to change the world. Not just one part but the whole world. I wanted it to be a happier more peaceful place for my children and generations to come. It broke my heart every day all the challenges from poverty, climate change, animal abuse that was going on. I didn't know how I was going to change the world but I knew I had to try. I had to do my part even if it made a little dent, made the world a little better. 365give hasn't been easy. We don't have a lot of funding, I have been told again and again I'm crazy. But I kept getting this message that I had to keep going. Then I got a chance to do this TED Talk and the world has opened their arms to us. I see and feel the hope from all over the world. People want to make a change. People want our world to be a better happier place. No one every said it would be easy but it's people like you that are willing to commit that will make a difference. Don't every give up. Always remember if you can change even 1 persons world it will ripple and ripple. You bring me hope that there are people all over the world willing to take the chance and make the commitment to make our world a better place. Thank you. Thank you for watching and sharing. You made me so happy today and determined to continue our work. Have a lovely day.

soumya you can make a difference. don't give a f*ck what other ppl think of you. When u stand out of the crowd they call u mad :-)

The good news Ajit when you are doing "goog" for others they don't think you're so mad. Everyone gets it. You gain respect and honour because so many wish they could or would do something and they don't. Too busy, not enough time, money or resources. But we can all use our expertise in our life to help solve the big problems. It's never just one person but a dedicated group of individuals that want to change the world. We just can't be bystanders - we all have to participate on some level. Thank you for watching and I love your comment. I so agree you can't give a "f^%$" what people think of you or nothing ever changes. Have a great day!

@soumya I did some activism myself in the past, pretty sincere and for pretty long, and got into big trouble because I didn't "respect" some corrupt local politician or local cop. I didn't have the nerve and energy to continue. I hope you do. India is full of apes going on aggressive power-trips every day. They also hold grudges for years or decades. Social reform is *not* easy from within the system - the system designers designed it to keep it subverted. See Kejriwal for instance. He's the toughest cookie yet and even he has crumbled. That's because too many people are evil inside and apathetic outside the system. Be prepared for a lot of personal heartache and depression. OTOH, if you do well in your engineering job or maybe go abroad you can make enough money to start and fund an NGO which will not make a noticeable change to the whole system, but will be a great change for those that it affects. Please reconsider joining the system. It's not for engineering types, it is a bunch of alpha male apes conditioned by years of psychopathy. People calling you "mad" is irrelevant. The facts are that the system does not allow reform in its present form and unless you are someone like Gandhi, I doubt you can change it. Better not be a part of it and have blood on your hands. Better to work as an NGO outside the system. No blood, just small joys. Changing it all at once or even a sizeable amount, from inside, is much tougher than climbing Everest. Much much more.

well said sir.. bt i guess it doesn't matter whether I m an engineer or an arts student.. today engineering students are doing great in civil services. but what u said is exactly true. n i m also not skeptical about the multidimensional career now.. 😊 now I m into it so let me be throughly into it.. well according to Steve jobs I m just joining d dots.. imagine a bunch of corrupt ppl at one side and a bunch of engineers or any other experts who actually wanna bring a change at the other side..great fun. well m nt saying dat m going to b d prime minister within years.. but I as a normal human is finding my ways or just call it joining the dots😊

Sending u love

kinda dont feel like this but thank you

@@xxzzz7467 love yourself dear,that is ok

I am so glad you found us as well. Sometimes the perfect things come up when we need it the most. Remember you are never alone. We all go through dark days and weeks. What I love about giving on those tough times is it gets me out into the community, it makes me feel like I am making a difference in the world - it gives my life meaning. That's what we all want at the end of the day. That being here - our life meant something. So go out today. Find a way to give that works for you. Make a commitment for 1 week - then another until it becomes part of who you are. It already is. You will then always know a way to get out of the dark days. Thank you for watching I am so happy it touched you. You have just truly touched me. Thank you. 💙💙🌎

@@jacquelineway thank you for the reply . I made my 3 teenage daughters watch your video as well and they came with great ideas . Again thank you and hope to encounter more beautiful souls like you 💜💙

Me toooo. I'm having such a terrible day and now I'm singing the Merry Christmas song even though I'm not Christian

Through every dark night there is a brighter day ahead of you - Tupac
