We r alive

We are ALIVE

across the tubes down his throat, he mouthed 3 phrases to me: "we are alive." 17 years ago nowadays, my life changed forever.

Filmed in 2013 at TEDxSBU, this is the complete decentralized TED speak that I introduced about taking creative dangers, valuing existence, and doing something that subjects.

i have determined to decentralize this speech I gave. Twenty thousand human beings have had a hazard to observe it on YouTube, and most of those have been uncovered to a business on that network. The phrases and images are mine, and the recording turned into streamed live on the Livestream network, as well as at the TEDx website. The edited version has been to be had for nearly 5 years, and is available with a standard YouTube license. I accept as true with that is truthful use, but i'd be glad to have a conversation with you about that.

whilst i am very grateful for the TED enterprise, I simply do not want individuals who are looking my tale to be uncovered to unrelated advertising; the profits from which go to a non-public enterprise.

a few costs from the speech, in case you want to bypass round:

zero:11 "We hit that tree with the sound of lightning."

zero:37 "My dad had a decision to make. If he went one degree to the left, i'd in all likelihood be dead nowadays."

2:13 "His eyes blinked open, like he turned into seeing the mild of day for the primary time."

2:27 "Then he stated 3 phrases that i will never forget about: 'Are we lifeless?'"

four:08 "He stated another three words that modified the relaxation of my lifestyles. but he stated them round -inch tubes that were happening his throat to maintain his lungs inflated. He mouthed to me, 'we are alive.'"

four:45 "I blinked my eyes open that day ... and i have devoted myself ever on the grounds that – and for the relaxation of my life I devote myself – to matters that count number."

10:38 "don't die before you're lifeless. don't settle."

14:thirteen "all the exquisite matters you've accomplished – they make up your wingsuit. So, while you're status on a metaphorical cliff, searching out over the arena, you do not should worry, because this wingsuit is there... you could fail, however you are now not going to fall. you have this wingsuit beneath you. leap!"

sixteen:fifty four "Creativity can heal us. Creativity can encourage us each day to blink our eyes open – it conjures up me to get out of bed within the morning."

17:08 "listen on your own track as in case you've never heard it before."

allow me understand what you think about decentralization, life, creativity, demise, and whatever else.

Take true care, and capture you on the turn aspect.
we are alive!
