From an “Or” to an “And” | Ashka Patel | TEDxYouth@PonderosaHeights


hey guys my name is Oscar and I’m this
tuna is jump right in the most simple
introduction of all time definition
because linearity for merriam-webster
dictionary or urban dictionary all
learned suits have a definition the
dictionary definition of a leader later
now a person who loses momentum killer
group organization for countries the
dictionary definition of the leader
notes often subject to someone’s
personal opinion basically no malice
definition whatsoever with this in mind
I walked inside house one day because
feet next to my lab partner she was
quiet calm and collected basically my
polar operative but she all be students
with different perspectives so I often
saw her advice on this particular day
school elections were around the corner
and actually asked for her opinion so do
you think I should run for class officer
oh yeah you’re very metering people will
go for you probably I replied what do
you need what does weinery
you just means she said your time
you like to help others you’re outspoken
I let my mind drop around this for a
little bit a few minutes later I looked
up from the lab that I was working on
and gave my delayed response
wait but aren’t you all that too and not
really it was that miss Bowen that I
utilize with a distinguished my own take
on the word leader the dictionary
definition was not to my standard I just
didn’t like it it doesn’t make any sense
to me
you think did you typically a leaders in
disciplines with loud bossy and a
follower seemed as someone who is
intimidated and introverted but to me
personalities don’t matter to me being a
leader someone who just wants to help
who want to make an impact who’s willing
to motivate and encourage others which
you
fools along the way so nice I’ve made
this confidence infection that everyone
is a leader or keyword or a polymer
there is no between but people fail to
understand that they’re actually in the
middle ground needs to actually go ahead
can’t keep there’s a little bit of
leader and a little bit of fall around
every single one of us that there is a
gray area that I like to call the end a
leader to follow our pollutes to lead
from their leader with how to
effectively lead bars by being the
follower and then either methods to
leave their own followers of the leader
to get that probably not so let me
explain
everyone have someone that they are
everyone has someone that they look up
to followers take the advice given by
faith leaders and the eyes themselves to
be role models with people that have got
to that because there are people about
the got to that even by being a follower
people are learning to leave and this is
the cosmetic bag it’s what makes sense a
little bit of both
okay Phil my boy here is that everyone
can learn new ways to discover different
leadership qualities followers
responsible leaders to receive
information and leaders act as followers
to learn to lead they’re like walking
he’s the perfect fit in the meta and use
by the effects of followers and father
is likely to take that method and use it
on someone else if they know that that a
particular act and inspected this tactic
can be anything from how to go about an
idea to how to motivate and encourage
someone to speak up about their own
opinions and right now that the five hi
who youth and our generation to figure
out how to change from the org to the
end you see statistically speaking
junior high and high school or when
we’re most conspicuous to ourselves in
the way that we know about things in
addition what we enter a new school we
meet new people new people become our
environment and for all products of our
environment this leads to us taking
ourselves in a different way this is
when we find inspiration in diversity
and our rebellious side and we all talk
about encourages us and allows us to
speak your mind
in fact original Huffington Post 93% of
American parents be the development of
strong morals and ethics there’s a
critical responsibility of their kingdom
possible experience ensure our place is
going up make us blue glow be in the
future and on top of God
high schools when we have those
opportunities leadership process pools
officer positions and clubs that we’re
passionate about
captain’s on sports teams high school
has it all
in this scenario we can give back to our
communities to a power position through
a title in which our peers and members
around us are any encourage if not for
us to listen for ideas this the most
common way to be a leader just literally
nothing wrong with that so I want to
lend
and there’s more substance you just back
the people that these elected students
are impacting are actually taking what
they learned then going to use it to
help someone else they are becoming
leaders because of the leaders impact
you see we all change one another we try
to be the good that we eat other people
and we try to adopt rate that we think
will make us better suited if a natural
human instinct
for example if I friend if listening
from this musical artist I likely to
check it out – and is likewise if my
best friend says each year they want to
go out and express their own opinions
break out of the comfort zone and
actually make an impact maybe and I will
sing a shot at that too after all we’re
in high school and then people can cause
us to drive cars they can trust us to
change each other for the better
how even parents are starting to trust
us to steer their young children in this
scenario someone aren’t agent octave is
a role model over to someone younger
than us and even though they’re only
impacting one or two people they’re
still a leader and I can’t stress that
enough
there is experiment that people they
admire once used of that honor you on
our next generation and maybe this next
generation will grow up to be even
better leader than we are because of the
tactics that we are implementing into
that I encouraged but this is where we
get a chance to make a choice but twice
to become a leader and the choice is
still an option I advise my peers and
people around me and my generations
become true leaders and if you aren’t a
student I still urge you to encourage
the youth around you to still make this
effort I think that personality types
don’t matter are all personality types
can and should try to affect other
people all personality types
step forward because we need more and
and this is why I think first handedly
say that I’m the victim of skiing stress
and basically everything I do I’m always
stressing about friends and family
sports in college trying to live my life
to the fullest while still maintaining
my priorities then I think about our
future and right now I’m going to get
off the blankets that are just like what
do you mean our future isn’t college and
family your future well yes and oh I
need it in a different way I mean our
future collectively everyone’s future is
a bigger picture the long idea you see
we need is is supported that we can
cultivate their talents exploring their
strengths and equipping of our
weaknesses we needed you family for that
test is developing work ethic new
responsibilities trait that lacks to
make us a leader looking at the
long-term benefit we need to stop
exaggerating situations and actually
stop imagining what it’s not we need to
figure out what we’re learning from it
and actually apply it to ourselves
because of what our roles can use all
the leaders that we can get this made
from the shop for with your own what we
actually need our word world is moving
fast we’re advancing we’re expanding
because we’re exploring those leadership
ensures that groups of people were
together effectively and efficiently in
order to achieve a common purpose rather
than separate individuals talking about
pursuing they’re all guys were getting
absolutely nowhere
see we need to start keeping up with the
speed that our generation is generating
these new ideas in order to keep up with
this so the synergy and alliance of
leadership and teamwork must be built we
need leadership to ensure that we
fulfill naltar past the high standards
and goals at our spine gender
in deciding for ourselves especially
essentially where there’s the leadership
there’s progress and where there’s
progress activities effect now I’d like
you to keep in mind that all progress is
progress
once that gives you posted of finishing
the race this will do no step at all a
minute extra that you spend writing that
essay anything gauge 20 was closer to
the minimum and yet the tiny bike that
you take up that sneakers bar will put
your fifty calories back in your diet
the butterfly effect is the common word
for little things making a big
difference because guests little things
do matter if the flap butterfly’s wing
it can create a hurricane miles away and
I have a one-person stepping up to
become a leader can do some an idea the
idea can become something more than that
like I said earlier one person one
butterfly will meet progress to do this
we must be advantage of the opportunity
of the later path as Emma Huffington
Post 80% of kids have access to the best
air into a building programmer universe
has to offer us a comprehensive k-12
education the limitless ways for us
being something that we want to be
regardless of our inter personalities
now each person realizing that they have
potential that they are bigger than what
they think they are is one step towards
making our idea actually legit and each
person that decide that they are not the
stereotype there and all the societies
telling them to be and they are actually
bigger than that is once you can start
becoming a galaxy we create a future
leaders made our future and little by
little keeps my piece our ideas will
actually start getting fulfilled
embracing the gray area will allow the
source of new heights
we will motivate and encourage other
people and use a strategy that people
use them up and we will work together to
reach our goals our youth can and will
grow up to be the most productive
generation he has me yes but only if we
are aware of who’s impacting us and who
were actually invited in return yes we
are a group of innovative students but
we lack the blueprint
fundamentals to actually create the
machine so we have the idea and we have
the dream but we lack the plans in
between so here’s what I propose
if you’re a student take advantage of
the leadership opportunities about you
open your eyes take the trick that you
admire and other people and actually
start to eat just like that
if you self declare yourself as a
follower King step back because I know
that you’re impacting someone and make
sure that you are motivating it in of
the person or people that you’re
impacting and trying to make them a
leader and in doing so you’ll become a
leader yourself now if your parent a
guardian please tell your children that
they can be leaders encourage them to be
leaders tell them that they are
important because they are each and
every person contributes to further in
our societies and if you’re in the
workforce take every encounter that you
have with the child who taught you and
make it a session to educate them
because they are our future and yes this
is Harvard and yes it will take time but
this time starts right now it starts
right now for every one of us because
every single one of us here has an
impact on our collective big-picture
future and when we start doing that you
will realize that we are the generation
that is going to break the or and be the
end
