Sometimes the pressure to cheer up actually holds you down. With a little more presence in your pain, you may find the very inspiration you need to bounce to new heights. Most motivational speakers prescribe making lemonade. Scott Greenberg is all about the value of the lemon itself. While a graduate film student at NYU, he was diagnosed with cancer. Inspired by his grandmother, a “Schindler’s List” Holocaust survivor, he beat the disease and went on to run a marathon, perform stand-up comedy, run multiple, award-winning franchises, write a book, and beat cancer again. He’s given presentations in all 50 U.S. states and throughout the world to corporations, associations, government agencies, athletes, and others looking to make their best even better. 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
