When faced with adversity, we've often heard people telling us to be positive. What is this positivity? How do you see beyond the image the eyes form? Huma Kirmani, an author and a single parent to two children, shares her two cents on dealing with such situations - on changing your perspective if not the situation. She writes about unusual and unconventional topics that most authors refuse to speak about. She is a gallant person who speaks boldly. She is a fascinating speaker that enraptures your attention and changes your perception of ‘taboo’ topics in Pakistan. Join her discussion to truly have your thinking changed. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
