'When they say you can’t, don’t believe them. They don’t know better. Ratna Vira describes rejections faced by a first-time author and her journey to a bestseller in a witty and frank talk. Conventional is boring and there is always another way of doing things, of getting to where you want to be. Do good ideas go out of fashion? Does creativity have an expiry date? Is it ever too late to believe in yourself?' Ratna Vira is an inspiration to thousands. She doesn’t only have the ability to paint a picture with her words but also radiates confidence and charisma which helps her balance between her corporate career and with writing and love of art. She has walked through a road of accomplishments since the very beginning as she holds a masters degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science. She is a best selling author with her novels ‘Daughter By Court Order’ and ‘It’s Not About You’. 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
