What the abacus taught me | Raghav Raahul | TEDxJESS

Raghav learnt to use the abacus at a young age. The result on his brain and mathematical ability leave the average person astounded. In this talk, Raghav dispels the genius myth, unveiling the method behind his magic and explains anyone can do the same. Raghav Raahul, a Year 12 IB student from India, has a keen interest in the field of mathematics. He has a strong passion for numbers and believes that people can train the space inside their minds with a growth mindset and commitment to achieve feats which they conceive to be close to impossible. In his spare time, he relishes activities such as art which helps relieve stress by serving as a diversion. He is also heavily into cricket and trains once or twice a week in addition to matches. He values fitness greatly and firmly believes that fitness improves mental and physical wellbeing. With a true interest in biology and chemistry, he intends to apply his knowledge in the future to solve problems that exist in today's society. 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

Ya, abacus is really cool but she said 2/9 is tough one. I was like you kidding me, anyone read fractions can answer that.

[@christopherknowles]

Oh cool, you did a TED talk? Oh it was just a TEDx talk? Never mind.

[@basedperson1409]

I did it and it wasted my life

[@gorresairam6739]

Why tell me pls

[@basedperson1409]

@@gorresairam6739 Just Kidding, It wasn't that bad. But I literally got 90+ in All Subjects, and a 60 in Maths. It did nothing to improve my maths, and has actually degraded my marks in maths. So I would say it was a waste time, But that is just my opinion.
