Cara E. Yar Khan: The beautiful balance between courage and fear | TED
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- After being diagnosed with a rare genetic condition that deteriorates muscle, Cara E. Yar Khan was told she'd have to limit her career ambitions and dial down her dreams. She ignored that advice and instead continued to pursue her biggest ambitions. In this powerful, moving talk, she shares her philosophy for working on the projects that matter to her most -- while letting courage and fear coexist. Watch for heart-stopping, vertigo-inducing footage of a trip that shows her living her theory to the full.

Her voice is so calming, oh my goodness
This woman should be the first female president of the US, the way she speaks is incredible because it shows humility & strength at the same time, as if she was sent by God, I got goosebumps listening to her.
octavio michel.R I think so , to.
"Life is really just a lesson in finding the balance between fear and courage and understanding what is and what isn't a good idea". A meaningful story. Thank you!
"when we are young, we are innocently brave"
After she said “so I ignored them” and the crowd started clapping 👌👌👌💗
Too much blind courage sometimes converts into stupidity and most of the time, cowardice hides behind the mask of playing smart. The best balance is taking intelligent calculated steps which have higher chance of success and finding courage to take risky steps about what our instincts/hearts tell us to do in a smart way.
Sujay Shah agreee
Quite well said Sir. Reality, it seems, can be a bit too much for most to face at times.
Wow, that trip would be difficult for anyone, let alone someone with Cara’s physical limitations. She even got a couple black eyes and toughed it out!
What an inspiring talk!
You forget one thing : $$$
Courage is just having fears and still being ok with making moves.
Facing adversities despite
Thats the problem with fear it prevents you from moving towards something. Courage is overcoming that, so essentially overcoming your self your own mind, as they say we are our greatest enemies.
"How my deepest fear can somehow manifest a mirror response of equal courage" profound statement, especially for those of us who tend to manage risk with avoidance.
I find her voice to be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard for some reason. I feel at ease
Lorenzo Lamas:
"Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's being afraid, and doing it anyway."
"Managing" Fear, Risks etc etc
This is the most amazing person. I was privileged to meet her right around this time last year. She and her amazing hubby adopted a foster kitty I had taken in. I was so happy that she went with such a great family.
Thanks for this; I needed it. This reassured me, and gave me back the courage to start working again on a letter I'm writing to my abuser
Watching this for an assignment
It's nice
What an amazing and courageous lady. I salute you.
Bravo! I'm so very inspired!
As I'm disabled and feel I need to have purpose still, I've searched my soul and talents to see where I can make a difference!
I'm working hard towards my goals, each day even for the smallest of progress!
Thank you for sharing your story with us!
Sending positive vibes your way.
Peace love dream's!🇨🇦

Baby girl you do have a purpose every single Human being has a purpose I am paralyzed from the knees down once paralyzed from the breast down I do were braces on my legs so that I can walk better and I do suffer from neuropathy and IBS and a lot of chronic pain but that’s not stopping me from becoming a fitness model and a motivational speaker and an author of my book and so much more and I’m doing all of this to show the world that every single human being has a disability some of us physical some of us it’s mental some can see it With the naked eye and others can install it inside. We are all human beings and we are made perfect in gods image but there’s no human being out there that does not have a flaw and to me in my opinion a disability is just a flaw and it’s our flaws that make us so
Perfect to God. I pray that you accomplish all that you dream of and I really do hope you go after what you love because you deserve it and you’re worth it.
She must be thankful to those who never questioned her limping in such a busy office. Kudos and Bravos for the fearless and courageous journey!
I wish she talked more about the support she was given through this journey. Because there was no way she would have made it without someone's help. It's easy to sit on a stage and talk about courage when you have people supporting you through your dreams. Brutally hard to do the same when you are on your on.
Congratulations, Cara! Very inspiring for those of us with GNE Myopathy (HIBM).
Much love to her I'm a disabled veteran with heart disease and lung disease 35 years in medical field and a broken medical system plus I'm in a wheelchair she is amazing
I've never looked at courage and fear in this perspective before. Thank you for sharing your invaluable insights! what a beautiful soul!
Her speech touched me so much that I cried
one of the best i saw, thx a lot
What a beautiful soul!! Thank you so much for this talk and your service in my home country, Angola 🇦🇴❤️ We need more people who can touch lives like you do Mrs. Cara!!
Wow, what an example and role model you are.. Amazingly inspirational... Thank you'
So glad to hear about such a unique experience. Bravo 👏
That was pretty useful speech...
We learned a huge amount of informations and experiences.
You showed your courge 🎉here to come infront of people and shared honest review of your own life to inspire all humen who are watching and will watch. Thank you so much
Powerful talk from someone who is living and breathing her own message.🙌🙌
Thanks, what an inspiring talk. Appreciate your courage, may it help me find my own path in life.
Wow, great talk thrilling journey and exuberant courage! And let's take a moment to acknowledge simply how expressive her face is...
She doesn't use her hands much and doesn't move while narrating, it's all her face and her eyes doing the magic!!! It was all so perfect I could FEEL the emotions she wanted to convey.
Thank you so much for sharing your life story. It has taught me many valuable lessons about the balance between fear and bravery. I really, really admire you. Best wishes for you!
Loved this talk. I needed this. Thank you Ted Talks once again. I feel happy :)
OMG, inspiring! I can't stop crying 💜
I admire your courage and determination in the face of fear and uncertainty. If all of us could face life with this quality maybe humanity could soar to new heights.
Incredible and a true inspiration!
a true inspiration💞
this is so good 🥺🌷🥀
This woman is awesome.
THIS IS HOW MANY PEOPLE LOVE TED TALKS
(I’m just a small UA-camr tryna make friends 💙)
Just my bit I learnt from my life : all my life taught me that fear is the enemy and it can destroy everything. Now that I am 48, I am starting to think that maybe pride may be worst (though in reality pride is linked to personal fears). Of course, I am talking of our countless baseless fears born of imagination. I am not someone who takes risks without properly evaluating the actual dangers, thinking about strategies to overcome actual dangers, etc. but most of our fears are imaginary.
Thank you
Wow so inspiring! Look fear in the face and do it anyways 💪🏽
Very inspiring.
Inspirational❣️
That's the attitude, and the 'tude to use👍
Amazing 🙏

She’s a champion.”
God bless her Courage And Bravery!!!
Wow you are superwoman, thank you!
Brava Cara!!!!!!!!!!
Outlook matters so much! I face a great deal of pain and disability most days. I turn to humor, rely on the support of loved ones the when I can't muster my own courage. OUTLOOK matters. No one is effected the same. No one else has to brave your disabilities the way you do. I decide when I want to do something fun, that I know will cost me. Sometimes it goes as planned and we have fun. Other times, things go astray, now we are having an adventure, and I still have joy. Vacations are planned, adventures happen along the way, embrace them. Good bad and in between, embrace it, and you'll come out dandy.
Azmin zaferi bu. Cesaret geleceği güzelleştiren en büyük şeydir. Bazen gitmek bile cesaret ister. Başarmak ise herşeye değerdir. 💜😍
I'M Simply Jealous 🌟
And Ovationing👏👏💐✌️
A flat-earther's greatest fear is...
Sphere itself.
Ahhahahahaha thank you for this
😀
Funny but not thee right place to be posting this I think?
@@crystalelk ... with all due respect who decides the 'right place' ?
.... and it's an opportunity for a joke that is relevant in details of the words...
... people like myself think that's funny, and others, please don't condemn us or limit us in our enjoyment of life and expression.
Thank you
🌿
Oh thank you so much for that! Groan and giggle!! You must always find a way to laugh. Even when it may not seem appropriate to others, laugh quietly and with as much respect as you can muster.

You only appreciate Something when you lost it.
♥️
Inspiring story!
All respect 🌼
I'd rather die then do what somebody else says, is my way or no way. Always be yourself only you can do that
When she uses the example 'nobody would marry you that way', I can't imagine a circumstance where anyone would ever say that. It's insane! Unless it's exaggeration or something? I've heard things like this come up in talks and I don't know if it's exaggeration or I'm just lucky to not be surrounded by maniacs lol?
she's playing the game
I believe her. People say hurtful things out of ignorance, malice, and sheer panic.
They probably don't say explicitly those things, but maybe insinuate It
Her hair is beautiful in the back.
For TED team,
What is the difference between school learning and money making in outer world
💖❣️
🦋you absolutely have to punch others opinions in the face. Someone else’s opinion does not matter - I’m living proof
What an incredible woman!
かっこよすぎだろ、、
Mam you nailed it !
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
Her presence is powerful
Thank you for this message Megan. I sure needed to hear you.🇨🇦💞🌅🌎💜🌍💙🌏🌄✌💗💭
To avoid afear try to create courage in your self to deal with many situations you are afraid of .so fear will disappeare automatically
What an amazing person.
What a spectacular and effortlessly composed lady she is....so very inspiring and funny to boot. I wish I had her guts...maybe I will try follow her advice. I would also like to commend the horse on its courage and bravery...😋 When u look at it horses have always gone where others fear to tread...just like four sure-footed angels! Great talk. Thank you so very much for your bravery..truly motivational for someone also struggling with health.
Few others always try to limit you, it's in their limited nature.
👍
can you add arabic translations, please
Please madame am not understand What do you mean Yar khan. But Khan is name of Pashtoon Afghan ?
There should be more research and funds given to rare diseases #justsayin
Everyone should ride on an adventure like riding rollercoaster between bravery and fear, at the same time you are ecstatic so when end ( death ) comes you meet it with an open arms .
🦋when your a kid you have tons of courage that goes away with age
I'm glad you decided not to have children, because if you did it would possibly make it so they have this muscle problem.
Personally I find it cruel to tell someone that they candy do something (unless absolutely necessary) but I also find it cruel to give birth knowing that your children have a high chance of having this terrible illness.
Then again, I could just be completely wrong.
@BitterVoid I agree, but I also feel like she would be able to raise a child properly because she seems like she has enough money to compensate her shortcomings
God created you to being adventures keep walking from follow through to the success don't fear to commit mistakes or didn't reach to the top level of fame . The most important thing is that attempt alwsrs if you. Teach yourself I'm here for learning how to overcome the difficulties how I can overcome the overthinking easily

INDONESIAN SUBTITLES, PLEASE
I really like your voice 🥰😘
If you want to see an example of balance between courage and fear watch the video on my Channel about a judge destroying a man's life.
The situation was not beautiful.
The only thing that scared me was the continuation of ignorance of our peers and representatives and supporters.
Thanks for watching
Ted
Did I mention how courageous I was? Oh, good.
