Mutluluğun sırrı: Bilimsel ve sosyal başarı birlikteliği | Cem Evereklioğlu | TEDxAtaturkUniversity
“Hepimiz bu dünyaya mutlu olmak için geliyoruz. Ama gerçekten mutlu muyuz?”
Cem Evereklioğlu’na göre mutsuzluğun en büyük sebeplerinden biri asosyal olmak. Aileler çocuklarının iyiliğini isterken çoğu zaman kendi hayallerini yükler; onları adeta “at yarışı” gibi yarıştırır, “inek” gibi çalışmaya zorlar. Ancak yıllar sonra insanlar, ölüm döşeğinde şu pişmanlıkları dile getirir:Keşke bu kadar sıkı çalışmasaydım.Keşke daha sosyal olsaydım.Keşke daha mutlu olmama izin verseydim.Keşke maskeyle yaşamasaydım.Keşke rüyalarımın peşinde koşsaydım.Ona göre bilim, sosyal yaşamla çelişmez. Hangi bölümde okursak okuyalım, zaman hızla akıp gider; sanat, spor ve müzik gibi tutkularımızı da hayatımıza katmalıyız. Çünkü zihni doğru zamanda boşaltmak, verileri daha iyi almamızı sağlar.Cem Evereklioğlu, hekimliği “insanları bilim ile iyileştirerek mutlu etme sanatı” olarak tanımlıyor. Akademide de nicelikten çok nitelik gerektiğini vurguluyor: Önemli olan yayın sayısı değil, kaliteli ve atıf alan çalışmalar.Kendi hayatında bilim, spor ve müziği harmanlamış biri olarak sporun disiplin kazandırdığını (Taekwondo 6. Dan, Karate 2. Dan) ve müziğin kapalı kapıları açtığını söylüyor. “Grup Metropol” ile yaptığı müzik çalışmaları, bilimle sanatın birlikte yürüyebileceğini gösteriyor.Mesajı net:
Bilim + Spor + Müzik = Mutluluk
Hayatta her şeyi “çalın”, para hariç! Enstrüman çalın, spor yapın, dünyayı gezin. Ve unutmayın:

- 17:47Finding Balance in a ‘Perfectly’ Imperfect World | Kori Dyahwiratikta | TEDxTelkom UniversityThis talk, delivered by psychologist Kori Dyah Wiratikta, explores the struggles of living with a perfectionist mindset in an imperfect world. Through personal stories and reflections, she explains how perfectionism often traps us in a rigid “black and white” way of thinking that prioritizes flawless results, leaving us feeling inadequate and unsafe when life inevitably strays from plan. She reframes perfectionism as a survival mechanism born from our desire for control and security, but also emphasizes that true growth comes from mistakes, resilience, and the courage to rise again. Redefining failure not as falling short, but as choosing to stop trying, she encourages embracing imperfection as space for learning and balance. Ultimately, she proposes a new meaning of “perfection”: not flawlessness, but harmony, moderation, and the ability to feel “enough” while continuously progressing through life’s uncertainties. A clinical psychologist devoted to helping others heal, grow, and find clarity within. A graduate of Universitas Padjadjaran, Kori now focuses on children’s and adolescent’s mental health at Rumah Sakit Hermina Arcamanik and Rumah Sakit Edelweiss Bandung. With a compassionate and empowering approach, she focuses on helping young individuals understand their self-worth, embrace their unique strengths, and set realistic, meaningful goals.

- 7:02Technology: Liberation or Enslavement? | Seunggyu Baek | TEDxIJSHS YouthModern technology extensively redefines convenience but can also restrict thought. Drawing on Michel Foucault's concepts of biopower and the Panopticon, probability-driven algorithms reshape common sense and narrow our thinking. Hence, we need to diverge our thinking by utilizing modern technology critically and consciously. 대만 국제 교류 발표, 싱가포르 학생 방문 학교 투어 가이드, 미국 학생 방문 학교 투어 가이드, 인천전람회 발표, 수학동아리 SOL# 동아리 면접관.

- 5:50How can we prevent a modern-day Silent Spring? | Jimin Lee | TEDxIJSHS YouthThe rise of AI has brought great convenience but also the danger of eroding independent thought, especially among children exposed to it too early. Without critical thinking skills, they risk blindly trusting AI, much like past generations trusted harmful pesticides, leading to societal control by a powerful elite. To prevent this modern “Silent Spring,” what should we do for the future? 중학교 3년 내내 학급 임원, 2024 학생회 총무부장, 과학동아리 부장 2025 교내 해커톤 창업 경진대회 우수작 – 천연 브로멜라인 효소를 활용한 부식제거제 발표 2025 생명과학 R&E – 감자껍질 유래 클로로겐산의 혈당 스파이크 예방 가능성 연구 2025 생명과학 동아리 연구 – 천연 색소 쿠마린을 사용한 잔류 농약 검출 방법 제안 연구 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
