Setbacks are Stepping Stones | Ms. Mehak Kaur | TEDxDPS Gurgaon Youth

Each human being is a distinctive and unique creation, like a thumbprint. Every ability or disability is your unique signature. The speaker teaches us to wear our disabilities with pride, rewriting her destiny with the help of science, support of her family and perseverance.

From a child born without thumbs, to becoming the proud bearer of the Indian jersey; from achieving the rank of India No. 4 at the age of 13, and subsequently rising to India No. 2 at the age of 15 in ITTF Para Table Tennis Championship 2023; to ultimately winning medals in both National and International Para Table Tennis Championships, Mehak’s journey is about a fearless first grader who wanted to overcome her disabilities and eventually grew up to prove that every setback is a setup for a comeback.

Mehak's story transcends the realm of sports. It's a narrative of resolute perseverance, a fearless first-grader's resolve to conquer her disabilities. She broke barriers, endured gruelling fitness regimens, absorbed wisdom from inspirational speeches under the stadium lights, and faced high-pressure matches with unshakeable resolve. Through her journey, she exemplifies the belief that adversity is but a stepping stone to victory. 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
