1d) Watch the video of Dr Ivan Joseph giving TEDx lecture on ‘Self Confidence’ in the
following URL and identify 3 phrases which will help building self-confidence.

Dr. Ivan Joseph uses his experience as a soccer coach and give us an insight on how to
develop self confidence in the video. The video of 13 minutes and 20 seconds long,
everyone can learn a lot in just 13 minutes and 20 seconds. The three phrases that will
help me build self-confidence according to me are-

A) The easiest way to build self-confidence: there’s no magic button. - Repetition, repetition,
repetition
B) Get out there. Do what you want to do and do not accept no.
C) Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the
square holes. We’re supposed to be different, folks. And when people look at us, believe
in yourself.

1e) Watch the video of Mr Nick Vijicic giving TEDx lecture on ‘Converting Obstacles to
Opportunities’ in the following URL and write 5 points of learning.

Mr Nick not only tells us how he overcame his obstacles of being born different, but also tries
to motivate us to do and inculcate the art of converting obstacles into opportunities. Here are
the 5 learning that I learnt from his TEDx talk

A) We have a choice. Either to be angry for what we don’t have or be thankful for what we do
have.- No matter what life throws at us we always have a choice.
B) The greatest thing is love. When we feel like we don’t have enough love and we don’t have
enough hope, we start losing strength to live.- Love, Life and Hope go hand in hand. Always
believe that you are beautiful no matter, we need hope without hope the world is a dull
place. Always remember someone loves you.
C) Words can only do so much. Hugs can do much more than words, but when hugs can’t do
anything, that’s where faith kicks in.
D) Because money is something that cannot heal the soul. The greatest two days in anyone’s
life — they day you were born, and the day you knew why.
E) There are no walls.
F) Find your peace and you’ll make your walls, doors.
