  1. Watch Rupert Sheldrakes Ted Talk about Challenging Scientific Dogmas. Ted see fit to remove it. Apparently they should decide what opinions you hear and what you don't. Watch it at After Skool on YouTube.

  3. It’s hard as we are told don’t judge don’t try and impress others . The world 🌍 is all about impressing others from American idol to impress your job interview to impress people . We have to get validation from others . The key 🔑 is to do it with confidence and love ❤️ 😊

  4. First two sentences out of his mouth are lies… so I stopped listening 27 seconds into his prissy little speech. God only knows what he had to say. Wake Up!

  5. "What would the world be like if we were creating sound consciously, consuming sound consciously and designing all our environments consciously for sound? That would be a world that does sound beautiful, and the one where understanding would be the norm and that is an idea worth spreading." These words caught my attention. INCREDIBLE LECTURE!

  8. 🌏❤️Every family have that one person who break the family’s financial struggle, I hope you become the one*

  9. the reverse shots of the audience doing the noises is so funny yet slightly scary lol

  10. I didn’t feel those 9 minutes, what a great speaker! If everyone subtracts the habits to gossip, complain, exaggerate and etc people will become much more conscious.

  11. So by this measure, it's literally impossible to impress a judge while defending one's self in court.

  12. Thanks Sir for the tips and excercises. Such a cheerful personality 🤍

  13. The speaker's verbal communication were clear and easy to understand. He also show us how to make other people want to listen to us. Eventhough his non verbal communication is vague it is still understandable so I can say that he is a very good speaker.

  14. Honesty. Being true in what you say. Communicating clearly. …
    Authenticity. Being yourself. “Standing in your own truth.” Too many people try to imitate someone else instead of simply being themselves. …
    Integrity. Being true to your word. …
    Love. Wish people well.

  15. Verbal and non-verbal communication play important roles in TED Talks. The speakers use their words carefully to convey their ideas in a clear, concise, and engaging manner. They also use tone of voice, body language, and gestures to enhance their message and to connect with their audience. Effective non-verbal communication in a TED Talk can help the speaker convey their passion and enthusiasm for their topic, making their talk more memorable and inspiring to the audience.

  16. I don't do these deadly sins but do "hail", and people still don't wanna listen to me, lol. Maybe it's the stutter, or the people that I have in my life, but either way, I'm tired of constantly being talked over and it makes me wanna listen to them less too after a while
