Say Yes To The Mountains In Life | Sharon Krasny | TEDxWarrenton

Saying yes to the mountains in your life is about rethinking our perceptions of our goals and dreams. By starting with our instinctual response of "no, I can't" and replacing that answer with "yes, I'll try" we begin to find we out grow our excuses because we are ready for more. In this talk, I share how Ötzi, the Iceman, challenged me to reach for my dreams by first admitting I really wanted to write and then by starting to climb those mountains. Sharon Krasny has worked as an educator for over twenty years in Virginia and abroad teaching in both Hungary and the Czech Republic. She discovered a love of oral history, from the people’s enthusiasm in retelling their knowledge of old. As an Advanced Placement Literature and Research English teacher, she has spent years encouraging students to take risks, look closely at the smallest details, and determine hidden meaning found within the text. Her own writing reflects these values. Her debut novel is the award-winning Silver Finalist of IBPA Benjamin Franklin's Best New Voice in Literature with Iceman Awakens.

Sharon lives and writes in Northern Virginia with her husband Prokop and their rescue pets: Teddy and Bonnie Rose. 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
