Arvind, in this talk, maintains that the new currency of the New Silk Road is Purpose and Creativity. " If there is nothing you need to do when you wake up in the morning, then you will probably end up doing what you Want to do! " He says that you have to find Purpose in your life first. And Creativity is the currency of purpose. So you need to combine creativity+purpose to find meaning. And sometimes you have to go beyond your boundaries, to find your purpose in life.

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)
