In order to succeed, you have to be someone else | Quynh Chi Nguyen Le | TEDxVin University
Does "becoming someone else” mean losing your truest self? For Quynh Chi, the answer is “No”. Her speech serves as a reminder: we all have our own shells, not as a disguise, not as an escape, but as the first step toward growth and refinement, in order to transform from a mere grain of sand into a luminous pearl, ready to shine in the boundless ocean.
