Top 5 TED Talks To Watch When You're Feeling Down
http://www.ted.com/

We are all human, and there are some days where all of us feel upset. It doesn't matter if you are still in school, college or work, even out of work, everyone feels stress! I get stressed just as a normal human being does, and I have tried many things to "de-stress". Watching YouTube videos, listening to calming music, watching a funny movie, and even taking a long bath! A few years ago while I was just browsing on YouTube, I stumbled on a TED channel! TED is basically a nonprofit that is devoted to spreading new ideas and they hope to inspire people with those stories! I am very happy that I did because I have been watching funny and equally inspiring videos. Here is a list of the top 10 videos that I really enjoyed!

1. I Got 99 Problems, Palsy Is Just One

This is the first video that I saw on TED, and I am so inspired by her. She has cerebral palsy since birth. She never felt bad for herself, or wanted others to feel bad for her. She has such a positive outlook on life and she jokes about all the things that have happened in her life! This video makes me smile and gives me the confidence that I need to do what I need to do!


2. A Teen Just Trying To Figure It Out

Tavi Gevinson is the teen founder of a fashion blog/magazine called Style Rookie. She talks about what makes a powerful woman, powerful. This talk is about her journey into who she is today and how the experiences she has today changes her tomorrow for the better!



3. A Magical Tale (With Augmented Reality)

Marco Tempest is a magician. Not an ordinary magician though, he does magic with multimedia! He is known for his use of interactive technology and computer graphics in his illusions and presentations. He stars in the 8 part television series which is broadcasted in 50 different countries! This video shows us that technology is expanding and can be magical at the same time! (This video is not inspiring or anything like that, it is just a really good watch!)


4. Shake Up Your Story

Raghava KK is a artist and a father of 2 boys. He made a pop-up storybook and serves as the basis of what the talk is all about. This talk is not really inspirational but it gives out a good message about homosexual marriage. Kids these days have a lot of influences surrounding their behaviors and media and books and the main cause. This book shows kids that love can be found anywhere and no matter who your parents love or get married to, they will love you just the same! This is really vital for the younger generations, because they learn what is truly important!



5. Where Does Creativity Hide?

This video was just pure inspiration. No matter what we end up doing in our lives, we have to be creative and like what we do! She tells us that just because we are all humans, it doesn't mean that all of us are the same! Everyone has their unique specialties, but we have to find out who we are. And that is the key to success!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
