In this TEDx talk, Ujjwal D. Gadhvi takes stories from the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. Turns them into lessons about problem-solving, focus, self-improvement, and the importance of letting go. Ujjwal looks at characters such as Dhritarashtra, Bhishma, Vidur, Krishna, Ashwatthama, Arjuna and Yudhishthira to show how seeing a problem, finding a solution and having the power to act can shape our actions.
Talent = Decent / Replaceable
Talent. Good Attitude = Above Average
Talent + Good Attitude + Character = Capable

Through these stories and their modern meaning, Ujjwal asks us to see how our own strengths sharpen our focus and get us ready to handle the challenges of life.
