Living Beyond Limits

As this is one of the best talks I've encountered, I am re-posting it.






After bacterial meningitis took her legs, Amy Purdy struggled with depression, and only beat it when she learned to accept her new reality, but not any limitations.  After being unable to find prosthetics that would allow her to snowboard, she built her own. Today, she is a world champion female adaptive snowboarder. In 2005, she co-founded Adaptive Action Sports, a non-profit dedicated to introducing people with physical challenges to action sports.

Sonder - A made-up word........

Sonder | The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows from John Koenig on Vimeo.

From Vimeo: SONDER, noun: “the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own.” From The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows (dictionaryofobscuresorrows.com), a compendium of made-up words written by John Koenig. Each original definition aims to fill a hole in the language, to give a name to emotions we don’t have words for. # vimeo.com/80318195
