Rethinking The Criteria For Success | Grace Carden | TEDxYouth@AbbeyParkHS
Success is more than just wealth and fame. Its meaning varies from person to person, encompassing mental health, personal fulfillment, and diverse cultural perspectives—there is success in all these forms. Grace is a grade 11 student from M.M. Robinson High School in Burlington, Ontario. Her speech revolves around the idea of success and how we as a society may benefit from shifting our conventional view on the topic. This is a true passion for Grace as she believes that societal stress and the pressures of living up to standards is causing more harm than good. Outside of speaking, she is an acid student and leader, involving herself in as many extracurriculars as possible including student council, drama council, tech cre, link crew, student senate, and the Central Ontario Leadership Seminars Alumni Committee, giving back to her community through volunteering at the Burlington Food Bank, and more. Grace is a very passionate student and is dedicated to doing the best she can to achieve her goal of becoming a doctor when she grows up.

Dominik Markowski opisuje problem milczenia, które wynika z braku wiary w to, że nasz głos może coś zmienić – według badań Gallupa aż 75% ludzi tak myśli. Mimo obaw i lęków związanych z wystąpieniami publicznymi, podkreśla, że zabieranie głosu jest kluczowe, by nie być jedynie biernym obserwatorem, lecz aktywnym uczestnikiem życia zawodowego i osobistego. Podkreśla, że umiejętność ta, jak każda inna, rozwija się poprzez ciągłe ćwiczenie – początkowe trudności zastępuje naturalność i pewność siebie.
