Vineet's powerful talk shows us why personal struggles are necessary for success.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxTampaBay, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxTampaBay event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
You are so young but already thinking of helping people. You will go far. Keep helping!

That is so true. Some people can’t read or write. Visual aids will really help them.
