Neil pasricha the 3 as of awesome

Neil Pasricha, creator of 1000AwesomeThings.com, is originally from Canada, where he grew up in a neighborhood with nearby schools and hospitals and homes powered by electricity—something his parents didn’t have as children.

Before he and his sister were born, his parents traveled from Kenya and India to settle near Toronto in the late ‘60s—a move that required them to leave their comfort zone and begin a new life in an unfamiliar place.

Pasricha says making such a bold transition would have required his parents to live by what he calls the “3 A’s of Awesome”: having a good attitude, a great level of awareness and an authentic personality.

In this TEDx Talk, Pasricha talks about the significance of the three A’s and how they helped him grow throughout his life.
