Navigating Through Change
Navigating Through Change
We are living in a continuously changing world. Some changes will bring us rewarding experiences while some may pose challenges. No matter what happens, human life will continue, and navigating through change is our mission in life.
Whether people choose or are forced to change is inevitable. Learning how to navigate through the either exhilarating or exhausting change is a skill everyone learns in their life.
At TEDxEdUHK 2023, speakers from different backgrounds share their perspectives on how change shapes our lives and how crucial it is to navigate through it.
