👁Can you really tell if a kid is lying?
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

Lee explains why we should celebrate when kids start to lie and presents new lie-detection technology that could someday reveal our hidden emotions.

👁We should aim for perfection -- and stop fearing failure
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Sometimes trying your best isn't enough; when the situation demands it, you need to be perfect. For Jon Bowers, who runs a training facility for professional delivery drivers, the stakes are high -- 100 people in the US die every day in car accidents -- and it's perfection, or \"a willingness to do what is difficult to achieve what is right,\" that he looks to achieve. He explains why we should all be equally diligent about striving toward perfection in everything we do, even if it means failing along the way.
