Inside, Out-Embrace Our Inner Self | Wanjing Lin | TEDxGHCIS Youth
This talk cleverly utilised examples from the speaker's personal experience and well-known cinematic productions to approach the concept that all individuals have two sides of life--the exterior masks and the interior true self. By proposing several methods, she examplifies and articulates the importance of knowing our true selves, to get to know the person behind the "masks", and try to act as we truly are through life. "Being chosen to take part in the TEDxGHCIS event is an honor, and right now, I want to declare, "I did it!" I gained a deep understanding of the true meaning of the saying "one minute on the stage, ten years of work under the stage" from the repeated refining of the topic, the frame-by-frame polishing of the speech, the repeated practice on the fifth floor of the Yuanpei building’s corridor, enduring the cold wind, to the speech delivered on stage with ease. I am grateful to TEDxGHCIS for giving me this enormous platform, to the instructor for her expert advice, and most importantly, to myself for my persistence! I conquered my inner anxiety the minute I stood on stage and understood that this speech was not just the convey of thought but also the starting point of thought resonance. I hope to be able to take part in it again in the future!" This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 7:08Smysl pomoci druhým | Jeska Trčková | TEDxSlavoniceJeska shows that one can change lives across continents. Combining motherhood with humanitarian work is not always easy, but thanks to the strength of a supportive community and a willingness to keep learning, it is certainly not impossible. She believes that helping others is what gives life true meaning. After completing her studies in pedagogy and working in a nursery, Jeska moved from the Netherlands to the Czech Republic in 2014. About a year later, she got married and became a mother.Sharing a love of travel and a desire to make a positive impact on the lives of others, she and her husband began traveling with their children to Africa. There, they met inspiring people full of zest for life, yet with far fewer opportunities than those in Europe.They decided to look for ways to bring new possibilities into the lives of others. In Rwanda, they established a bakery; in Tanzania, a kindergarten. They are currently working on building wells in Zambia and providing food aid for refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
