At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tedxteen.com\/\">TEDxTeen<\/a>, held in New York City on March 16, Clinton delivered this bold talk, saying that despite negative assumptions, today\u2019s youth are in a unique position to do good. Teens today have big advantages over those who are older, says Clinton: they are more likely to take risks, they lack deeply engrained biases and they are digital natives. As a result, millennials\u00a0&#8211; those coming of age in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century &#8212; are more likely to be confident, connected and open to change. This makes for vast potential.<\/p>\n<p>So how can teens harness it? Clinton says that it\u2019s a matter of finding what you\u2019re passionate about and then not being afraid to try it &#8212; because you never know how great your impact could be. Clinton challenges young people to \u201cdare greatly and act boldly,\u201d because \u201cthe worst thing that happens in life,\u201d as they say in the Clinton family, \u201cis that you get caught trying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clinton\u2019s talk is especially salient, as she hosted the Clinton Global Initiative University last weekend. At CGI U, a thousand college students with a desire to serve others gathered to innovate solutions for problems on both the global and local scale &#8212; and to make commitments to act upon them.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton tells <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.parade.com\/2340\/lynnsherr\/chelsea-clinton-leans-in\/\">Parade Magazine<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>that she was inspired to host the event by her grandmother, Dorothy Rodham. \u201cShe would always say life is not about what happens;\u201d says Clinton, \u201cit\u2019s about what you do with what happens to you.\u201d Rodham challenged her granddaughter to strive to live with a greater consciousness for helping others, even though Clinton naturally shies away from the spotlight. \u201c[My grandma] thought I wasn\u2019t doing enough with the opportunity I\u2019d been given to be Chelsea Clinton,\u201d she tells the magazine.<\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/tedconfblog.wordpress.com\/74605\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/tedconfblog.wordpress.com\/74605\/\" \/><\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=blog.ted.com&#038;blog=14795620&#038;%23038;post=74605&#038;%23038;subd=tedconfblog&#038;%23038;ref=&#038;%23038;feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/TEDBlog\/~4\/h9GY-HKadKQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea Clinton has some advice for those with the greatest potential to become change-makers &#8212; the young.
