Embracing the Cosmic Connection for a Fulfilling Life | Bijay Bairagi | TEDxVishnu Institute
Often, we go about our lives without realizing that we are intricately linked to the universe. But when we take a step back and recognize this connection, it can serve as a powerful force for personal growth, mental and physical well-being, career progression, and an improved quality of life. By embracing this connection, we unlock new dimensions of personal and collective growth. Recognizing that we are part of a larger cosmic tapestry instils a deep sense of interconnection with all living beings. This perspective allows us to approach our relationships with empathy and kindness, fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for personal and collective growth. By embracing this holistic approach to life, we open ourselves to infinite possibilities and a future filled with joy and abundance.

- 6:25The Secret of Opportunity Cost | Iris Wang | TEDxTAMS YouthYou will always be aware of your regrets but never be aware of all the bullets you have dodged; every opportunity missed is another gained. With infinite parallel universes branching from every choice, there is no way to determine which specific set of choices will lead to the most optimized universe, even for the most meticulous perfectionist. With this in mind, you should still learn from your mistakes but also never stop moving forward. You can never change the past, but no matter what situation you find yourself in, there will always be a way—no matter how small—to improve the future. Iris Wang is a junior at the Texas Academy of Math and Science passionate about the intersection between biomedical engineering and computer science. Fascinated by how technology can revolutionize healthcare, she is particularly interested in applying artificial intelligence to improve diagnostics and personalized medicine.

- 9:15The Excellence Tax on South Asian Women | Adithi Kadle | TEDxTAMS YouthFor too long, South Asian women have been told that excellence is the price of respect—that worth is measured by achievement, not by humanity. Meanwhile, our community has silently grappled with domestic violence, mental health crises, and deep-seated gender inequality. We've been taught to keep these struggles private, to maintain the facade of perfection. This “excellence tax” isn't just uncomfortable. It's dangerous. This speech challenges us to disrupt narratives that demand our compliance and calls for a radical shift through dialectical feminism—the choice to embrace contradiction, complexity, and change. By shifting the stories we tell about ourselves and redefining the knowledge we value, we can dismantle the systems that have held us captive and demand more from ourselves and our community. Adithi Kadle is a senior at the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science at UNT. She is passionate about intersectional feminism and believes that community-based organizing is the key to building more empathetic, justice-driven policy. Outside of school, Adithi is involved with several advocacy groups and enjoys volunteering with children.

- 6:23The Economics Of Decision Making | Nikhil Srinivas | TEDxTAMS YouthThis TED talk explores a refined approach to decision-making by expanding beyond the traditional focus on immediate crossroads. Often, we only consider the direct outcomes of a decision, but this talk encourages analyzing the long-term implications, looking five or six steps ahead. By adopting the SWOT analysis model, we can evaluate decisions through the lenses of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and time constraints, considering how each factor shapes future outcomes. The talk also introduces the concept of a decision web or tree, where multiple possibilities converge over time, rather than a singular choice. This method empowers individuals to assess their opportunities more thoroughly, offering a nuanced perspective on decision-making in a world of uncertainties. Nikhil Srinivas is a driven high school student and researcher passionate about ecology and sustainability as well as economics and finance. He holds the Congressional Gold Medal and has obtained an Eagle Scout distinction. He enjoys the field of biology and wishes to grow it furthers and inspire others wanting to work in it.
