Your Mindset Determines Your Tomorrow | Heinrich Popow | TEDxESADE

When he was just 9 years old, doctors amputated Heinrich’s leg after discovering a form of bone cancer developing in his left fibula. Far from deterred, the sport-loving youngster began his track and field career in 2001. Since then, Heinrich has gone on to win 27 medals at the Paralympic Games, World and European Championships.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

If you don't know a situation, you won't find a solution.

[@ramansingh1221]

Without understanding how can be known whether we can change Or we can't

[@faithmassey9489]

I love how he says: "You know what happened?" it's like he's having a chat in my living room. He is an utterly cute, human with a really important message: "Be water, my friend."

[@coachk7129]

Also you have to program your mind. In order to be mentally strong, you have to program your mind, morning, noon, day and night. I know what to expect because of my programming. Once you program it and continue to do it, it become habit. We have to train our mind for success.

[@angelagarcia1339]

How are you meant to train your mind for success?

I got a mysterious disease 2 years ago. It paralyzed me. I got better physically but my mind has felt like it stayed there. In the fear. This guy has totally changed my perspective.

I have listened to lots & lots of TEDx talks throughout the years, on listening to yours today It was heartwarming 💗 being a survivor myself of a rare brain tumour in 2007, your story moved me to tears (a good thing for my emotional release 🙏) I too look what I can do, not what I can’t. In finding the positives I swap words & give them an makeover if there unpleasant sounding to me, disabled is one word I changed about a year ago. My word swap is differently-abled which I believe to be a lot more pleasant in hearing, what are your thoughts? do u agree? I’m hoping 🙏 it will catch on Hope to meet you one day, a true warrior 👏💪🌅

[@clover1383]

Yupp! Disabled to differently abled....and Ordinary to extraordinary...i have soo much respect to people like you who can fight and live a positive life!....you people are like an inspiration andd idol to me❤️❤️

What a human being! I wish I had all his willpower and optimism back when I was having a hard time in high school. I could have prevented some things, like cutting myself etc. It's not too late to learn, though. Kudos to him!
