Bouncing back from hospital beds to resilience | Quang Thịnh Phùng | TEDxFTU Hanoi
Phùng Quang Thịnh opened the 2nd session with the topic "???????? ???? ???? ???????? ???? ?? ??????????". It is an inspiring personal story of a young basketball enthusiast who overcame life's setbacks to embark on a journey of rediscovering strength and purpose.
Once felt overshadowed by his peers and yearning for recognition, basketball gave Thịnh the sense of purpose he sought. However, a major turning point came when he was diagnosed with bradycardia and required a pacemaker implant. This forced him to give up many familiar activities and confront the physical limitations of his condition.
From a state of despair and fear, he gradually shifted his perspective thanks to stories from other patients and by taking time to reassess his challenges and change his mindset. Thịnh adjusted his lifestyle, found a way to continue engaging with basketball in a suitable role, and embraced gratitude for what life offered.
The speech concluded with a powerful message: embrace the "breakpoints" in life as opportunities for renewal and growth. It is our mindset, not the adversities we face, that determines how we overcome challenges.
"????? ????????? ?? ???? ?? ? ???????? ?? ????????" Every year, ???? ????????'s features an impressive lineup of high-quality speakers. However, we have always been on the lookout for a voice that can represent students and accompany young people on their journey of self-discovery. That person is none other than ???̀?? ????? ???̣?? – the champion of the ???????????? 2024 competition! Thịnh has shared his life story, detailing his journey of battling through days sick in bed and then continuing to nurture that flame, improving himself daily to become the best version of himself. He convincingly earned the highest title in this year’s ???????????? competition. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 14:14The puzzle perspective | Andrea Medina | TEDxRansomEvergladesSchoolWhat if the key to life’s toughest problems is hidden in the way you approach a simple puzzle? From childhood jigsaws to escape rooms, Andrea dives into the surprising power of puzzles to shape our minds, strengthen our relationships, and even help us see the world from a new perspective. Andrea has always enjoyed the challenge of solving puzzles, having completed over 100 escape rooms and puzzle hunts to date. As a dedicated member of her school's math team, she helped lead her team to victory at the INTEGIRLS all-female puzzle competition with her passion for problem-solving. From these experiences, she began to explore how puzzles foster collaboration and creativity, and why we can all benefit from embracing the problem-solving mindset puzzles encourage. Andrea is also a driven athlete on her school’s golf and lacrosse teams, and plays the viola in her school’s symphony orchestra. When not solving puzzles, you can find Andrea immersed in a good book or playing the guitar.

- 15:52We are giving each other for granted, and it’s drifting us apart | Mariana Serna | TEDxTES YouthToo often, we only realize the value of a moment, a person, or a relationship when it begins to slip away. We wait—for the right time or for life to teach us a lesson—only to discover that time doesn’t wait for us. The scarcity of time can become a wake-up call—not to fear, but to love more deeply and live more intentionally. Mariana is an 8th Grade TES student.

- 10:08Why social anxiety isn’t the end | Mariana Bento | TEDxTES YouthLiving with anxiety doesn’t mean living without hope. What we often call “shy” or “quiet” can be something deeper—something that shapes not only our actions, but our sense of self. But what if anxiety isn’t a flaw to fix, but a part of being human to understand? With the right tools, a bit of compassion, and the courage to show up anyway, even the most overwhelming moments can become manageable. And maybe, they can lead us somewhere stronger.
