Life rarely goes as planned, and the ability to adapt can be the difference between struggle and success. Through unexpected challenges and shifting circumstances, I discovered that adaptability isn't just a skill—it’s a strength. This talk explores how embracing change transformed my perspective and helped me grow in ways I never imagined. Reyansh Rahul Patodia, a Grade 7 student at Fountainhead School, Surat, lives up to his name—“Reyansh,” meaning a “ray of light.” Once struggling to speak five lines due to stammering, he transformed into a poised TEDx speaker. His talk, inspired by his experience at Mayo College, urges embracing change. His speech struggles led him to the Bhagavad Gita, inspiring Discover the Arjuna Within You, a child-friendly adaptation, followed by Be the Leader, Not a Boss Like Shri Ram. A passionate innovator in storytelling, tech, and leadership, Reyansh holds two world records—writing a Bhagavad Gita adaptation at 8 and converting a Windows PC to macOS at 10. His resilience shines in badminton, where his strategic mindset mirrors life’s challenges. 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
