And today, this incomparable and humble gentleman has passed away. He will always be missed!

[@DuongHTran-sy1lf]

Definitely one of the best performances of a Vietnamese person at a TED talk, in my opinion.

[@viethuynguyen4335]

Get yourself employed first.

[@AskMOTT]

RIP my beautifully strange friend , I love you.

[@HaNguyen-lx7ph]

"Think of things that make you angry and do not accept things that make you angry" - It's how to go "beyond limits"!

[@good8bait960]

Hà Nguyễn damn they dragged one of your people off the plane smh lol

[@kibetimmanuel5741]

Change it

[@tonynguyen430]

Do not force yourself to go beyond limits if you don't want to. It's not necessary to be angry if it's not worth it.

[@HuNg7]

he makes me think about "the 100 year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared". I love his passion for "whisky". I remember a quote "anyone who doesnt drink must be a disaster for world peace"

[@TEDxBadinh]

he was being funny in a very unique way

[@MonkeyRemains]

[@niory]

[@broadbandtogod]

This man is right beyond words

[@carlheath7014]

Great Talk, Anger is a powerful source, it needs to be managed, controlled, released and channeled, get out of the washing machine, stretch yourself, learn, grow, expand, go easy on the Whisky! Aggression to Passion is the Key, Big Love :0))

[@nguyenucminh2796]

16:38 : We have to rely on the foreign enemies to get together - Why can't we just get together ourselves ?

[@good8bait960]

[@jabbatheslutt3603]

Foreign enemies are a good entity to direct the violent of society towards, so there less internal violent conflict

@Huro Dyban He had a good point: his speech would have reached more people if it was in Vietnamese.

[@Kryptonian42042]

Why don't we change things? We know there are things fucked up in this world, but why aren't we changing things? Why do we just sit idly by and wait for others to do so? We know what's wrong with this world, with our system and politics and every type of -ism so why is nothing happening. There are too many people spectating, watching, as if they are living in this world to be entertained. Those people are just as guilty in fucking up this world as the people doing it. He's right, you won't get angry if you're living on your sofa. Get rid of it. Get rid of everything until you have no choice but to fight back for a system that's fair and responsible; not just for us, but for our only home, a home we all share and know no borders, Earth. We have to stop being a plague to this planet and to each other. It is not our nature to be so, we were not born this way, we were shaped this way. We have allowed ourselves to become sheep through entertainment and reward. We are all born equal and no one, should have power over our lives. When the very things that keep us alive, food water and shelter, are stripped away from us, forcing us to become part of their system, then you know you have problem in this world. Everyone has a place, everyone has a role. Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Fascism, these are different variants of systems that are designed to keep certain people in power. These are designed to keep a vast majority beneath them. We don't need to adhere to these rules that were placed upon us long before we were born and had a say. We don't need to stay content and let them have their way with our lives and the earth. The earth is OURS, the earth is for everyone and everything. That is how it was designed. Humans have lived on this planet in balance for 200,000 years. It is only until recently that we let someone dictate how we live and dictate what our purpose in this world is. That purpose is ultimately for their self-interest. We don't have to do that anymore. We have to get angry, strip yourself of everything that keeps you chained and you will see the problems that we have to correct now, for the future of our children and the future of the human race. He's absolutely right in getting angry; and he's absolutely right in us having to earn our freedom, our independence, and our happiness. We have to stand up sometime from that couch and when we do, I hope it is done in time and not among a desolated and crumbling planet.

Be polite and obey your parents at all time is a disaster to the future generation. This Vietnamese culture must be abandoned.
