Do you see the step between failure and success? by Kumaran Rasappan at TEDxSingapore

A medical doctor with a heart to serve others, Kumaran Rasappan decided to take a year off work to pursue his dreams of climbing six mountains, including Mount Everest. His "No Mountain Too High" project raised funds for the patients of Tan Tock Seng hospital who were unable to afford medical treatment and aftercare costs. Many regard his Everest ascent as an outright success, but Kumaran chooses to reflect on the unseen failures in all his perceived successes. He lives by the rule that the two words 'success' and 'failure' are inseparable About TEDxSingapore TEDxSingapore celebrated its 4rd anniversary by curating our 21st TEDx event since our launch on 15 April 2009. "Our Future, We Will Make" asked What shall we strive for? What makes us successful? ...as a country, as a community, as a family, as individuals. What does success mean? What Singapore would we be proud to build for Singaporeans who will come after us? What deeply matters to you? What are our possibilities?

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)
