Fight the losing battle | Kim Ngan Pham | TEDxSuPham
Through a famous Haiku about a little snail, Kim Ngân came to a quiet yet powerful realization: sometimes, you have to fight a losing battle. But is that bravery or recklessness? Is it foolish—or is it the very thing that gives life its meaning? In her talk, she invites us to reflect on the quiet strength it takes to keep moving forward, even when the odds are stacked against us, and asks: could the journey itself be worth it, no matter the outcome? - Student at the University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (ULIS – VNU).
