This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Frank Noonan, Pennsylvania State Police commissioner, reminds us that we are presented with a new opportunity to help another person every day, regardless of where we are or the circumstances that surround us. "We have no control over our lives,'' Noonan said, "but we do have a choice to make a positive difference.''

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)
