About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

ở nhà coi cũng vui
I buy it because i need it, I buy it because i like it is wrong
we thought that after hard work, we would have choices. But actually, most of us don’t have any of them and keep working hard.
I don't like this youtube because it is biased.
The best 15 minutes i have spend in my life
Tuyệt
15 minutes of pure truth. I am trying to live a simple life. However it is unfortunate that our society makes this more difficult than it should be and I think society will never change.
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
I remembered Gandhiji's lifestyle after listening to him… my experiments with truth.
Be simple

Cũng muốn cuộc sống đơn giản, ko bon chen, cơ mà như vậy thì ko lấy dc vợ, với lại cũng ko lo dc cho những người mình thương, nên thôi cố gắng vậy
"Sự thật luôn đơn giản nhưng mà people make it complicated":)))))))))))

life is not easy its a big lie
Yeah for some life like him is fun, but not for others esp me, i just love urban area, bright, full of people and many more.
People keep getting smarter, But why is life getting harder and harder to be happy?
What I learned from this
Yes, but some people like challenge and difficulty. Like a fish to water.
People are not actually become complicate because of seeking wealth and having all the things but to be socialized. One of the socialization is to know how to communicate with all kinds of people, you may see it's a sample skills developed in early year of life. However the problem is that people are like to compare with others and comparison trigger our desire to things that we do not have. The more skills you have in communication, the more people you will meet, and the broader world you shall see. Then, you will seek for more, and therefore, life will be more complicate.
Kopchai lai lai
For those who want just simple things can live like the way they are( simple living) but from living in a cave to monitoring on other planet for living, is just can't be possible with simple things. We are living in harmony because our ancestors sacrifice theirs simple lives in order us to stay in harmony. If we don't learn, simple living won't help much in the next century. We have to find out our resolution for living that's how we grow, that's how human creatures can survive in future. We are here for future generations!
Sir Jandai, I want to tell you something genuinely, these degrees holder idiots will never reach your wisdom. God bless you; you're great, and this is one of the best VDOs I have ever watched ⌚.

He just roasted us and our thinking ☠️😂
In my opinion I think life only depends on yourself what life you want to have should from your real heart and mind which make you comfortable
I really wish someday i too will have the strength and courage to see and live life that gives me peace and happiness like jon.
I don’t understand how to live life
I’m probably going to kill myself
This wisdom is from high.
🙏🙏🙏
When we have time with ourselves we have time to understand ourselves, When we can understand ourselves we can see what we want in our life. Great 🙌
Like or need
Life is easy make it easy
Unique man we can't live like u gentle man 👏
আমার জন্য খুব উপকারি,এ কথাগুলো।
Life can be easy in Thailand where this man live, yes…its cheap and climate is no cold…in others countries like in europe where i live, its impossible and forbidden to build houses so easily, or you would have to stay hidden in deep forest, climate in winter would freeze and kill you, you could have diseases and need money not to die, its not so easy to get food just by eating rice…living like an hippy in a caravan is possible, yes, but you will need money to move…if not living during many years without doing nothing would be boring…and this man has "forgotten" to say that he had a family who own lands and fields…its not the case for everybody…
The problem is most ppl dont have their own land
love you Jon Jandai
