What Does "Wealth" Mean to You? | Aisha Nyandoro | TED

[@ShahrezadNorMohammadiy9116]

*Be the person who breaks the cycle. If you were judged, choose understanding. If you were rejected, choose acceptance. If you were shamed, choose compassion. Be the person you needed when you were hurting, not the person who hurt you. Vow to be better than what broke you-to heal instead of becoming bitter so you can act from your heart, not your pain.*

Wealth is about living comfortably without debt. What level of comfort is up to you.

👩🏼‍🎓🇹🇭 "As I am former prisoner number 46664, there is a special place in my heart for all those that are denied access to their basic human rights. We urge countries to make the policy changes that are necessary to protect the human rights of those who suffer from unfair discrimination." ~Nelson Mandela speaking during the Closing Ceremony of the XV International AIDS Conference, Bangkok, Thailand, 16 July 2004

[@peterweller8583]

My definition of wealth is what I add as opposed to what I need to get by. A pocket a knife a key a clever brd a pressure cooker a good friend probably should have started with that.

[@ShahrezadNorMohammadiy9116]

Writing the book has been difficult. It has meant reliving the pain of the past. But it has also been cathartic, forcing me for the first time to come to terms with memories I had been trying to escape. - Benazir Bhutto 🇵🇰

[@toni4729]

Wealth to me mean being the owner of my own home, (which I don't have) and an extra million or two dollars in the bank just in case something goes wrong.

[@ronoldcross8189]

Wealth - being able to live comfortably without worrying about lack of money. Having a home, not a house.

[@ShahrezadNorMohammadiy9116]

My father had brought me here (at GKB Graveyard) just before I had left Pakistan to enter Harvard University in 1969 (and said): "Remember, whatever happens to you, you will ultimately return here. Your place is here. Your roots are here. The dust and mud and heat of Larkana are in your bones. And it is here that you will be buried." - Benazir Bhutto

[@Prayers-on-Fire]

😊

[@marsrideroneofficial]

I've that in order to know your rich is to know if you're poor first. I thought my family was well off, until I learned we were in debt and the house was loaned and that loan was slowly shrinking and has not offset the debt.

[@VioletEmerald]

Wow

👩🏼‍🎓🇷🇺 "There is no human being who hates another human being because of the color of his skin, his origin or his religion. People have learned to hate and if they can teach them to hate then we can teach them love" ~Nelson Mandela

[@electronicscaos]

A big of a hypocrite, considering Mandela's youth.

[@marsrideroneofficial]

Here, people have been watching too many movies for the past decades that their judgment on people is based on one's looks. Villains are ugly and heroes are good looking 😅

Amazing! People need dreams AND cash. Yes!

[@cybersekkin]

"wealth" is only one conversation. Wouldn't the real point of this talk be what is happiness adn fulfillment be? Seems like she got caught up in the wrong question. although financial wealth makes the real question so much easier to get to.

[@AriVirtual]

Thank you Aisha Nyandoro. Black Families deserve money, support. I want to take that weight off too.

[@boulderbite]

No, no, no... being uncomfortable and striving for a better life is better. Biologically and neurologically. Having a guarantied income is the gateway to permanent poverty and lack of personal gratification in personal success. This is literally THE SCIENCE on the matter. Of course we have this speech with a black person... and money. My tribe has guaranteed funding from the US... yet the second anyone gets extra money or wants more stability, THEY FLEE the reservation. Wealth is fleeting. It is only maintained by constant determination to self betterment. We know th is as most familial wealth evaporates after 3 generations. I know this too, as my family actually had wealth in the form of trade and actual gold in reserves, but it is all gone and my family is working upwards from lower middle class or upper poverty. Equity is a curse, equity is a reason to be lazy.

[@HikaruYamamoto]

Most highly wealthy people gain from exploitation, not hard work.

[@boulderbite]

If that were the case, then why does anyone work for anyone if it is only "exploitation" or something in a negative context. Poor business owners can be just as terrible in exploitation. It really doesn't come down to just "wealthy" people, it comes down to the nature of character and morals of people. If someone is exploiting you... LEAVE. @@HikaruYamamoto

[@brianb5745]

I only hope that some of those people who receive $1,000/mo would spend it on improving their skill sets. Training and education is worth much more than pizza and pop money for the next 12 months.

[@wenhaozhang6352]

I wonder , what would happen to those women funded for extra 1,000 dollars after that project. Will they maintain fiancial management behavior and mindset?

[@tka-tpa-prapatankalisari45192]

Thank you very much, for yours solidarity🙏🏻

[@bamb8s436]

I m seriously irritated by the fact that many Americans r unable to realize that their poorly regulated free market s the cause of those issues

[@ShahrezadNorMohammadiy9116]

Pakistan People's Party was voted into office, my father had started his modernization programs, redistributing the land held for generations by the feudal few among the many poor, educating the millions held down by ignorance, nationalizing the country's major industries, guaranteeing minimum wages and job security, and forbidding discrimination against women and minorities. - Benazir Bhutto 🇵🇰

I'm an English learner, so l couldn't understand well, because your speech is too fast for me and the words are a bit difficult to translate, despite this l could feel your sense, health and wealth are both necessary and they led each other, they look our two eyes, if we're not healthy, wealth can't make us happy, if we're poor, we may loose our health and we can't live as we dream

[@salliemae9284]

Real wealth means abundance in great health in our heart body mind and soul our greatest wealth , abundance in great characters to be kind loving compassionate and the material wealth not in terms of millions but in terms of having enough to make us live comfortably. And as human we can’t be alone so cultivate the wealth of true connection from our love ones our immediate families and friends and those not related to us who could truly love us unconditionally .

[@adstix]

The irony of this question is that many of the so-called wealthy still battle with their own peculiar problems that cause unhappiness from time to time! The grass isn't always as green as Aisha's suit when looking in from the outside!

[@esobed1]

Black men mentioned NOWHERE IN THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION! It is amazing to me how when it comes to discussions of wealth/poverty for African Americans black men are left out. This is an old game... until Black women realize that the best vehicle for wealth is via a family where the legacy can be passed down African Americans are doomed to being a permanent underclass.

[@pennyrichards8019]

You can't just give people money without education. That's how you end up in the projects but somehow, you have a new IPhone, great manicure and no future. Knowing someone was paying my bills would definitely make my life better but without the financial education I have (thanks Suze :) ) imagine I would blow it on things that don't add to my "wealthy"

[@lesliekausch264]

People given a basic income rarely waste the money or work less. In fact, during the pandemic, families getting the CTC were more likely to be working full time

Our information and technology is a part of wealth. Filtering and maintaining standards is also important.

👩🏼‍🎓🇲🇼 "There is still too much suffering on our continent that could have been prevented by leadership which put the interests of the people supreme. The conflict, war and instability in many parts of our continent must in great measure be blamed on an absence of leaders who are capable of or willing to subject personal and sectional considerations to the well-being and common good of the people." ~Nelson Mandela upon receiving the Order of the Lion of Malawi from President Bakili Muluzi, Malawi, May 2002

[@ВалерияКазанина-ее]

Why she foccused on black women? Isn't it a definition of racism then you select from all poor people only black one?

[@ImprovingPerson]

She just wants to become socialist?

[@wilfredogonzalez1422]

Hi. Do not say women of color. Say black women like it is. What is wrong with that? The father of my father was black.

[@emmabunch-benson4795]

The echo in this is so distracting

[@tommypain]

Wouldn’t it be racist for me to form an organization that centers its efforts on white women?

[@eastendthug]

I'm gonna assume it has something to do with racism and climate change like most Ted talks blame these days.

[@harriiyo]

blame? what a bad attitude. If you didn't gain anything from this Talk, then I'd wager the information isn't for you.

[@MikeMikewaz]

Lost me at mainly black woman. Racist woman

[@CatherinesChronicles_]

Think a socialist Or communist lady

[@scatton61]

So what if the room was nondescript. Your name is hard to pronounce. Perhaps you should have been a little bit more understanding when somebody comes across a name they're unfamiliar with how to pronounce. So he used some financial jargon that you Didn't understand And couldn't be bothered to research before you came to the meeting. Many people of many colours and backgrounds suffer from poverty it's a shame that you choose to work mostly with black women. Sounds a bit sexist and racist to me. Surely a life free of financial worry is what everybody would wish to achieve and it's sad to hear you are only offering it to black women. If it were left up to me I'd offer the programme to all those that need it. What you could do for black women particularly those with children is to find ways in which to keep the father in the home and with two incomes they wouldn't need to be any tax funded or privately funded cash to support a short-term band aid fix to a long term much bigger problem. Still I expect you have a good salary and that's all that matters hey so that you can retire at 60
