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)

"I can't change anything outside of myself, the only thing I can do is manage my mind" beautiful.
WOW!!!
I got a lot of knowledge from 15 minutes video. Thanks a lot sir.
Yesterday I ate at his restaurant which uses all the vegetables he grows.
The food is delicious and not expensive. The restaurant is called PunPun ( พันพรรณ )
It is located inside the Suan Dok temple, (วัดสวนดอก เชียงใหม่ )in Chiang Mai city. I am always surprised how few customers there is at this wonderful little resturant.
Please if you visit Chiang Mai I recommend you try PunPun, the Temple also has some very beautiful big halls which are lovely to see too.
Spitting facts
Learn to be enough.

Civilization is not the infrastructure, but it

The system is not the problem. If every man thought like him would We would all still be caveman

One of the most precious episode I've ever seen. Love from India ✨🙏💓
Life could be simpler for a lot of people. But the reason people are trying to get smarter is not just making things more complicated. We have to get smarter to solve problems like cancer and build accessibility for disabled people. Not everyone can just live off the land. People are building complexities because the world is complex and has complex problems. That is not to say we shouldn’t try and figure out how to live happier simple lives, but know all our problems won’t disappear if we all went back to that kind of lifestyle
its hard to study in university, cause its very boring. Very true sir!
Great 😃👍
