Скачать или смотреть The science behind fear | Kabir Keswani | TEDxYouth@GMIS

Fear can be deadly. Fear can be motivational. Fear can save you. Fear, is powerful. We can be a student, or a working adult. The fear is always in us. Overcoming the fear by understanding it, rather than allowing the fear to control our actions, is an ultimate sign of bravery and intuition. It is a sensation in our body that allows us to live our lives in the safest possible way. It grows with us, as fear guides us in different ways depending on our thoughts and level of maturity. Fear can be rational, such as when there is a gun to your head, or irrational, when we see a test paper and automatically think of failure.We have to use fear, and let it drive us to accomplish feats beyond our potential, instead of letting it hold us back and keep us down. It is natural to have a huge amount of fear in us. I am Kabir Keswani, a senior in high school, and an aspiring doctor. I am very interested in
politics, and I try my best to maintain my knowledge about the state of our world. I am a
writer, as well, and have written numerous poems and articles for my local newspaper, as
well as a novel that will be published soon. I have always been motivated by my mother,
who never stopped believing in me, and taught me about realizing my self-worth, which
naturally pushed me to achieve beyond my perceived potential. As a student of IB, the idea
of fear is very personal, namely the fear of failure. Fear is of absolute abundance in today’s
world, and there is no reason to let it take over our lives and hinder us from thinking clearly. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
