TEDx: Who builds the world you want to live in2 min read
Reading Time: < 1minute
I am more than excited that I had the opportunity to share my ideas at TEDxBucharest Metamorphosis, which took place on the 16th and 17th of November. For 2 days, around 1000 attendes came to listen to 23 speakers and 5 exclusive performances share their ideas. It was an amazing experience and the best TEDx I have been to.
we all want to live in a better world, but who builds that world for us
if life would be a car, we would prefer to be the driver or passengers
it took me more than 20 years to have the courage to ask the questions who builds this world
I was taught to talk just when asked, to memorize and be obedient, to not think critically and analyze, to have opinions
I feared questions and hardly learnt that questions are more important than answers
I learnt that to be creative meant to paint, I was trained to be a wheel in a machine. It took me a lot of time to see the importance of interdisciplinarity and diversity
after 30 years of democracy, the Romanian educational system still prepares us to be passengers
dreams are possible if somehow you learnt or you believe that dreams can come true
the one YES matters more than hundreds of NOs
there are good people and bad people in the world and you cannot change that
fail until it hurts, if it is not hurting it means you did not really fail
metamorphosis requires pain, because metamorphosis is change and change is painful
dream you can change a law because one day you may actually succeed
build hope and courage around you
believe that anything is possible, because, in time, it really is.
Here is my presentation, the video recording will be available someday on TED.com website.
