How TEDx has played a role as a platform where people who have overcome hurdles of age and outperformed themselves in the type of situation they were in.
-Margaret Mead
Over the
years we have surpassed our own limitations, unleashed newer potentials and
forayed into unbeknownst arenas. The pace of these transitions has increased
exponentially - moving in tandem, sometimes even beating the hands of time. The
world is in a constant state of flux. Bearing testimony to this is the
evolution of mankind, which serves as a precursor of change. From the discovery
of fire to inventing the wheel, from Neanderthals developing tools to
ultimately building walls and pyramids, from being unruly barbarians to a
society driven by culture; man has pursued paths that have led him to possess
power.
TEDx event are run independently to
help share ideas in communities around the world. The tagline itself “Ideas
worth Spreading” empowers the belief that every idea leaves it own indelible
mark in the society. This
platform believes passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives
and, ultimately, the world. It gives credence in our own self to overcome our
inhibitions and create a mark in the society.
Tedx as a platform has witnessed
speakers over a wide range of generations. A 16-year old girl from Gujarat, Rythm Rastogi
was given the title of "Pad girl” who raised the voice about awareness of menstruation.
Another intriguing story is of a 10-year old boy Arshdeep Singh who won the
wildlife Photographer year of the award 2018. This 10-year old quirky boy wants
to spread the idea of preserving wildlife and nature through his passion for
wildlife photography.
All
this are just a precursor to the humongous arena this platform gives to an
individual. Conquering the
universe entails people to tap their inner capabilities to achieve more than
they are meant for. It provides a limitless arena where you are guided to
conquest a treasure that only few can possess. Only those possessing
unstoppable passion and commitment will be able to transcend to new horizons.
