I have the hardest work on the planet
I am a mother
(Applause) (Cheers)
Yeah! Yeah!
I am the mother of three active children
Who magically believe I am a doctor
Baker, trainer, cooker, therapist
I have the patience of a saint for 24/7.
I do my best
Some days are certainly better than others,
Especially with regard to being a Sabra as a saint.
I want as some parents want their children.
I want them to have a happy childhood.
I want to have the freedom to play,
To be friendships, to be gentle gentlemen, merciful and happy.
But there seems to be a small challenge.
Said the World Happiness Report
In another time
That more than 220 million children
And one billion
Suffering from anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorder
This is not a beautiful picture of happy people on Happy Planet.
Unfortunately, whether you are a parent or not,
This is what the boys learn from us.
We are busy every day
They feel nervous
They know our struggle to look for our happiness
How can you move from depression to happiness?
Some good news.
The World Happiness Report also states
The best guide is if the child is satisfied
Be through their emotional health in their childhood.
If I have the right, it will be easy.
Happy Children, Happy Boys, Happy Planet.
(Laughter)
This is the real lesson you learned from my father
When I was a little girl
Growing up in a big city in London, Ontario
Every Christmas morning
My father and my three brothers accompany me to his office
My father was a doctor and his office was in the hospital.
Our work was to stand next to the sick beds
To sing Christmas hymns.
We started with the same songs every time
My father was the squad leader
Maybe it’s a precedent for TEDx, so join me
(Sings) We wish you a glorious birthday, wish you a glorious birthday
We wish you a glorious birthday and a happy new year
(Stop singing)
(Cheers) (Applause)
You are amazing, young people
I will sing to you all this year
(Laughter)
Look at your smiles
We did it every morning
Those sick, they sang with us,
As you just did.
And their smiles were shining in the hospital rooms.
This is what you learned from our songs.
Give back to those sick,
Make them happy as I am
We have all heard that
Giving makes you happy and it is better to give than to take.
But have you thought about why?
Well, researchers from all over the world
They studied the science and methodology of giving.
And they discovered
That our minds and bodies are ready to give
When we give this affects the endorphins
It gives us a high and natural feeling
This is called high help
Oxygen levels rise, it’s the hormone of love.
As for you
Looking for a young source,
It is natural treatment against aging.
I felt this when I was volunteering with my father,
It is the serotonin carrier of happiness.
This makes it better.
Decreases the proportion of cortisone
It is the stress hormone.
Reduces stress and anxiety and makes us happy.
What if I told you,
You can be happy every day,
A 3 year old child can do it.
Well, on Nick’s third birthday,
I decided to let him be happy every day.
To teach him to give.
I put the idea on the cake and ice cream,
We will start with a family full of fun together.
We will be given to the world every day for a year.
Now I waited to see the enthusiasm on my face
The enthusiasm I felt
Instead, he asked me how many days a year?
(Laughter)
The answer I was looking for was not,
But Nick was 3 years old
The idea of daily giving is different
I still have a box of paper and crayons,
And began again:
“Nick, to be gentle, loving, and laid-back
Man, animal, or planet
Every day for 365 days. “
When I shared this idea with friends and family,
They thought that if I could say it, I was tempted
I will give the world every day for 365 days
With a 3 year old child.
I agree with you, it seems exhausting,
It’s also when you start with something simple every time
We and Nick started the list to pay us to continue
It should be easy and close to home
Donating towels and blankets to the animal shelter
We pick up garbage, we re-industrialize
Give clothes to the donation center and continue the menu
Well, Nick continued quickly
He became enthusiastic
He was already enthusiastic
He wanted to start on his birthday
The first stop
In the local animal shelter to donate towels and blankets
When we entered the shelter
Shock you right away
Dogs smell and antiseptic
We could hear dogs barking
We knew they were locked in cages
He handed the towels and blanket to a nice lady sitting behind the desk
I smiled and thanked us for our donation
When we left
Notice two glass doors leading to a room full of cats
He returned to the glass and scrabbled
He returned to me saying:
“Mom, can you see the sleeping cats on the red cover?
Can our coverage be theirs?
He returned to the gentle lady and said: “Do you bet”
Now you can see how Nick’s mind works
He was connecting events
That his daily work will help those cats
Nick learned that from day one
He returned to smiling, saying:
“Awesome Mom”
This tender make it happy
The next day we went to the beach for fun and playing in the sun
How much garbage can we pick up in three minutes
This is important for a 3-year-old
(Laughter)
On the third day we sorted garbage
At maturity, Nick learns about remanufacturing
Well the daily tender has become a habit for Nick
As is the cleaning of teeth
Let’s think about it
It will be easier if we teach a child of three
More than cleaning the teeth on a daily basis
He asked me if we could share our daily work
With our friends and family
So they can continue to work
It was the first day
I started with a note entitled “Tender for 365”
You know
I am not a writer on social media
Can you imagine how surprised you were?
When people other than my friends and family began to read the Code
They began to read and interact from all over the world
Send emails and leave comments about their daily food stories
Because they were inspired by Nick
In fact I was enthusiastic and I share some of them today
Henry wrote from London England
“I met this homeless man on my way to work
Today I brought him breakfast
Very grateful
From now on I will do this work every day “
Show me from Uganda
I called four children living near the house to lunch today
The kids were happy to eat the meal
They felt for the first time in a long time that someone was interested in them “
Amy from Australia
“I am a fourth grade teacher
I started this idea every day in my class. “
I was surprised one by one
Can this idea reach a row?
I did not know, I’m just a mother
It is destiny,
I received a call from my friend Sarah.
She is a teacher at a local junior high school
“Jacqueline,
I want to convey the principle of tender 365 to my class
In fact, to the whole school. “
Both of us were excited, we went to work.
We started preparing an educational program,
A way for teachers to integrate and apply the idea of giving daily,
With their curriculum,
We called it the 365 Challenge
It is very special
Because children run it.
Choose what they want to be given,
They support and influence the world in the ways they choose
We started at Sarah School,
I was excited to hear how the children would be given.
Several weeks in the challenge
I went down
I interviewed the second grade students aged 7 years
When I entered their row,
I was not sure who was more enthusiastic,
I am the mother of children.
Armand was the first,
He waved his hand enthusiastically
He did not wait to tell me
About the pastries they prepared
Which they sent to the local oven
They thanked firefighters for all their work.
Arman was smiling proudly
Next was Mia
Mia’s cousin suffered from cancer that year,
Children have full grade,
They decided to come and sell the popcorn at school
They made $ 252 in a certain period
They donated it to support children infected with tuberculosis
The reason that made me cry
Because I did not imagine
That my project with my son
May be confusing to many.
This is what their mentor, Ms. Story, told me,
“Jackie, my children
They know that their actions can make the world a better place
I brought them together and with their community
More importantly, my class has become a happy place. “
This challenge has reached 5,000 children in 25 schools
We have just begun.
(Cheers) (Applause)
thank you.
(Cheers) (Applause)
Share their stories with other children,
We have made a sequential step
To their families and communities around the world
I challenge the kids but actually prepared for all of us,
No matter where you live or what you do or how old you are.
Imagine we all did this work
We started with one child giving each day
Daily bid for 3645
We shared and arrived here
With all of you
Let’s share each person in the room,
More than 2,000 people give daily for 365
That’s more than 700,000
No longer just one child
With all of us
We make a better world happier,
It’s a simple thing a 3-year-old can do
Usually daily as a dental cleanser
Put your list today,
Look at your life, your world, your family, your day
Do what pleases you
Donate, volunteer, help neighbor, be nice to the stranger
We change from anxiety and depression to happiness,
With some we can start with small things,
To make the world better and happier
Bid once a day
(Applause) (Cheers)
Yeah! Yeah!
