Personal Pursuit for Random Acts of Romance | Yucheng Duan | TEDxYuehai St Salon
Yucheng Duan, a high school student and cultural exchange organizer, challenges the obsession with productivity and efficiency.
In this heartfelt talk, he shares how small, spontaneous rituals—like playing guitar on a hill or rediscovering forgotten objects—can reconnect us with our truest selves.
Through his stories and insights, Yucheng invites us to embrace the seemingly “useless” moments that bring joy, wonder, and authenticity to our lives. 微仪式感活动发起人

- 10:52L' importanza di avere il Piano A | Savino Novelli | TEDxTursiIn un mondo che spinge sempre a pensare a strategie alternative e piani di riserva, ho scelto di raccontare perché credo profondamente nella forza di un unico Piano A. Non è incoscienza, ma determinazione: concentrare energie, visione e coraggio in un solo obiettivo permette di trasformare i limiti in opportunità. Avere un’unica strada ci costringe a dare il massimo, a non mollare davanti agli ostacoli e a credere davvero nelle nostre capacità. La mia esperienza personale lo dimostra: senza un piano B si trova sempre il modo per far funzionare il piano A. Savino Novelli CEO e founder di Master Group, Presidente della storica rivista Millionaire, imprenditore visionario e investitore attivo nei settori dell’energia, retail e tecnologie digitali. Con un’esperienza pluriennale nella costruzione di ecosistemi commerciali e nella transizione energetica come consigliere delegato di Confassociazioni, guidando l’innovazione come promotore di nuovi modelli sostenibili.
