The power behind a smile | Do Nhat Nam | TEDxKids@SMU

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Making a positive impact to the world means making a positive impact to yourself first, that which could be achieved from doing something as simple. As. A smile. But how? The answer lies write here... Spoiler alert: lots of chocolates, cash, smiley faces (duh!) and inspirational stories involved, viewer discretion advised. Or shall I say, you have been warned...
Hi!! My name is Do Nhat Nam, an 8th grader from St. Paul The Apostle School. Just like any other 8th graders, I can spend hours discussing about the new release of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, gasping in awe at the sight of a new Porsche or Ferrari. And also just like any other 8th graders, I seek out to unravel the truth of everything beyond a single droplet of water, I have an undying passion with Elizabethan literature (, I applaud at the end of a classical piece... well, not too much like any other 8th graders then... Oh, and most importantly, I want to make a positive impact to the world. And believe it or not, making such positive impact isn't something fictional, or merely a childhood dream. It's a target that is totally reachable.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
