Por que eu AMO as falhas? | R. Deepak S.K. | TEDxSGU

Na Índia, a educação costuma se concentrar em notas, provas e empregos, enquanto aprender a lidar com contratempos recebe menos atenção. Nesta palestra do TEDxSGU, R. Deepak S.K. defende que a paz e a gratidão podem ser alicerces para buscar o sucesso, e não recompensas posteriores. Ele explica como distinguir o que está sob nosso controle do que não está ajuda a deixar o passado e o peso da opinião alheia para trás. A fala também aborda a pressão acadêmica, o desemprego, as dificuldades financeiras e o desafio do suicídio no país.

• Por que lidar com falhas raramente é ensinado
• Separar o que controlamos do que não controlamos
• Riscos calculados e trajetórias de figuras indianas conhecidas

In India, we teach young people how to score marks, crack exams, and land jobs. But what we rarely teach them is how to deal with life when things don’t go as planned. That silence comes at a cost. India continues to face the serious challenge of suicide, with academic pressure, unemployment, financial stress, and personal struggles among the concerns affecting people’s lives. This talk offers a more human way of looking at life. Peace and gratitude shouldn’t be things we wait to experience after achieving success; they are foundations that help us navigate life and pursue success with greater clarity. By learning to distinguish between what is entirely within our control, what we can partly influence, and what lies beyond our control, we can focus our energy where it matters most and learn to let go of the past and the weight of other people’s opinions. Drawing inspiration from the journeys of MS Dhoni, Thalapathy Vijay, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Sanju Samson, this talk explores why failure is rarely the end, how calculated risks can lead to extraordinary achievements, and why everyone moves forward on their own timeline. If you’re struggling right now, remember this: you are not behind in life, your failures do not define you, and you are not alone. Sometimes, what feels like the end of your journey is simply the beginning of a new chapter. R.
