Living with Purpose - Distilled into eleven words | Joyce Ng | TEDxBrownU

How do you move on after a tragedy? In this talk, Joyce Ng shares three simple ways to transform personal hardship into a life of purpose. As a survivor of the 9/11 attacks and also a student at Brown University during the mass shooting, Joyce discusses her experiences on how to live with purpose that can be distilled into eleven words. Joyce works in a leadership role at Google, driven by a mission to build things that matter, while pursuing a Master’s degree at Brown. Beyond her career, her most profound impact lies in her advocacy. As the founder of a nonprofit supporting the 9/11 community and author of the history book Hotel 9/11, she has transformed her experience of survival into a lasting legacy of support and historical preservation. 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
