TEDxLimassol -
Everything you know is wrong
"The earth
is flat”. “Home computers are useless”. “Humanity is condemned to be starved”.
“Women are born inferior”. Throughout the years, pioneering scientific
discoveries overturn established theories, vibrant societies transcend dominant
perceptions, bold individuals expand physical and intellectual limits proving
everything wrong: This is the way in which we seek to improve our lives and to
deepen the understanding of the world around us. At TEDxLimassol we are
searching for the next refute in small and large things: In the universe and
subatomic particles. In our societies and in our bodies. In our behavior,
attitudes and perceptions. In our mental, physical and personal capabilities.
Proving everything wrong is always the right thing to do.
*Where there is
doubt, there is freedom.

Self-Improvement-218: Salt Vs Rice
Salt -VS- Rice...
If you were to cook 3 cups of rice, would you add 3 cups of salt to it?
Certainly not!
So, in every preparation of rice, the rice always outnumbers the salt, yet a little salt makes a huge difference/impact in the overall outcome.
In the room in which you currently are, look up at the ceiling...
What is the size of the bulb compared to the size of the room? It is probably a ratio of 1:5000.
Yet, darkness flees the entire space once the small bulb is flipped on.
If I am the salt of the earth, and the light of the world, then "little me" has the ability to make big things happen..
Sometimes, because we feel outnumbered or overwhelmed at the sheer magnitude of evil or wrong-doers, we then choose powerlessness, and decide to go with the flow, not standing up for what we believe is right.
Little doesn't mean insignificant.
You are significant. Your presence should make a BIG difference. Stop waiting to be on the side of the majority. They may be the majority, but they are the trivial majority, and you are the impactful minority.
They are the rice of the world, and you are the salt of the world..
They are the room and you are the light.
Make your influence felt!
Remember:
You are the world's seasoning, to make it beautiful..."

Economics is not that difficult if we have the right examples.
