Life comes with a lot of hardship: from simple, routine annoyances, to sudden changes; from hard situations, to multiple annoyances that compound; from career-altering events, to life-threatening situations. But, at the end of the day, each moment of hardship, each obstacle that one overcomes is a lesson that provides with a skillset that will prove crucial later on, as well as with a deeper comprehension of oneself

Such was the case of Wabash College's very own William Yank. Just this past year, he was thrown in a life-or-death fight against leukemia. The disease put him in situations that caused him great distress, which, in turn, caused him to feel powerful, negative emotions

Yet, Will realized that precisely these emotions helped him push through the disease, and come out victorious in the end

We invite you to check out his inspiring TEDx talk about how he defeated leukemia on YouTube

Also, in just one short week, Yank will be starting classes again at Wabash College, as a member of the senior class

Welcome back, Will! We sure missed you, here, at Wabash!

Ideas are born through reflection and discussion. So, to promote creating new ideas, we, the TEDxWabashCollege team, came up with the idea of having a Question of the Week on our story

Every Wednesday afternoon, we will be posting a new question on our story, and we invite you to answer it. We will post the answers we find most inspiring, thoughtful, or unique on our story, and tag the author

So, we invite you to follow TEDxWabashCollege on Instagram and Twitter, to keep up with the latest Question of the Week!

And make sure you check out our story every Wednesday afternoon for the next Question of the Week!

Storytelling is a way to share our thoughts, feelings, and memories with our kin, and make an impact in the local culture. And, just like literary genres and languages have evolved, so did storytelling technologies

To learn more about how storytelling has adapted to technology and to its times, we invite you to check out Suzanne Leibrick's TEDx talk on YouTube

What is your favorite stroytelling technology? Is there a particular story that inspired you? How do you think storytelling will evolve in the future? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section!

Anger is at the core of hot topics like masculinity, self-esteem, and anger management

In her TED talk, Juna Mustad talks about how mindfulness enabled her to use anger in positive ways, and how listening to the inner voice of her anger helped her face the things that kept her life standing still

Check out her TED talk on YouTube!

How do you use anger to better your life? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section!

"The customer is always right"... or are they?

In her TED talk, Taylor Misiak talks about how customers can inadvertently and unintentionally make major customer service faux pas, which get in the way of the server providing them with the best service they can offer

Check out her TED talk on YouTube!

What do you think we should do to improve the lives of customer service employees, and of customer service in general? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments
