Attitude: the lens through which we see life | Catherine Clary | TEDxJenks Youth

This TEDx talk explores the profound yet often overlooked impact that our attitude has on shaping our lives. By comparing attitude to a adjustable lens, the speaker demonstrates how shifting our perspective can entirely change how we experience the world around us. Ultimately, the talk aims to teach the art of attitude as a powerful tool to overcome adversity and reclaim control over the uncontrollable aspects of life. Hi! I’m Catherine Clary, a Junior at Jenks High School. I’m involved in the International Scholars program, Model UN, NHS, the Environmental Club, and Chinese Club. I believe one of the most significant forces that shape our lives is often overlooked: our attitude. In my TEDx talk I want to explore what happens when we adjust our attitude like we adjust a lens—and how doing so can change the way we experience life itself. This is important to me because teaching the art of attitude can help us overcome adversity in our lives and take control of the uncontrollable. 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
