Why Hard Work Beats Talent - Every Time | Panos (Beta) Vouros | TEDxPanteionUniversity
The talk will explore the ongoing debate between talent and hard work: What is the true key to success? Is natural talent essential, or is relentless effort what ultimately leads to achievement? The aim of this talk is to highlight the importance of combining both talent and hard work as the foundation for success. Panagiotis Vouros (BETA) was born in Athens in 1991 and grew up in Ano Liosia. Although his first artistic encounter came through music at a very young age, it was ultimately Tattoo Art that won him over.
At the age of 19, he left Greece and, through a journey of studies and professional experiences in both music and the sciences in England and Italy, he was introduced to the art of tattooing. For the past ten years, tattooing has been his main professional pursuit.He specializes in calligraphy tattoos (lettering), as well as the black-and-grey style with roots in California, known as Chicano.After 11 years abroad, he returned to Greece with the goal of applying and further developing the experiences and knowledge he gained internationally, contributing to the evolution of the Greek tattoo scene.

- 13:28AI & The Future: Shaping Tomorrow Innovation | Gamma Kosala | TEDxTelkom UniversityThis talk explores how Artificial Intelligence can transform public safety by turning ordinary CCTV cameras into intelligent systems that detect threats before they escalate. Through computer vision trained on real-world patterns, AI can identify gang-related activity, unusual group behavior, or suspicious actions in public spaces—not by judging appearances, but by recognizing behavioral cues. Rather than replacing human judgment, these systems provide real-time alerts that empower authorities and communities to act faster while respecting privacy and regulations. The speaker calls for courage, collaboration, and experimentation to harness AI responsibly, envisioning a future where technology helps us not only live more efficiently, but also return home each night with greater peace of mind. A mind quietly crafting breakthroughs in the world of AI. From classrooms to global recognition and he’s been weaving the future. But what makes him stand out isn’t just the research, it’s the story he tells through it.
