Seizing Opportunities to Mold Your Destiny | Manya Gupta | TEDxYouth@BSN


you
you
it’s 1666 in Lincolnshire what if Isaac
Newton just sees the job of an Apple is
the me occurrence in nature rather than
seizing it is an opportunity to question
its 2007 in California
what if Steve Jobs just accepts shorty
Mobile’s is a way of life rather than
seizing it is an opportunity to create
amazing consumer friendly Apple iPhones
its 2017 and the BS an what if you and I
just said all these staring at
opportunities not seizing them not
realizing that it is these opportunities
that at am in our destiny not realizing
that in them is best to the power to
bring out our best possible selves to
make a day to make an impact or even
better to change your life today I’m
going to bring to light the many chances
we have of seizing these opportunities
to mold our destiny in this big bold
world
this concept is brought to life by a
family story my mother once told me when
I was little
it’s sat in my home town dolly one of
the most populous cities of the world a
man stood on a bridge with his son he
said son looked down the Sun looked down
and the massive crowd of people moving
under that bridge almost is one there
were people everywhere Malan said son I
spent my whole life being one of the
many people under that bridge not able
to find my own path or able to seize any
opportunity that came my way
I can’t bear you to do the same son
don’t be anyone be someone on the
subject of opportunity our word today is
like a seventh
Misha terrestre with so many amazing
delicious mouth-watering dishes not what
it was like before well my father was
young living life was quite
predetermined you choose one of the two
career roads and made peace with the
Lord Shiva Kevin it was quite like
warming into a buffet and being forced
to choose from one pathetic appetizer
one main course in a tasteless dessert
no choice in a concept that’s supposed
to be best and choice whenever he talks
of childhood he always brings up his
unsatisfied passions he’s like history
he like sports but he could pursue
neither of them because all any sensible
Schalke thinkers was to either become a
doctor or an engineer yes this had to do
with the society prejudice person that
that I’m in India but what hurts him the
most is that there were hardly any
opportunities to shine in the decide
field of endeavor when showcasing off
jerseys a few choice is luxury doing
what you love being which are good at
living your passion or become empty
slogans
however today none of this is true today
opportunities are boundless and
education careers information technology
today I have seen it all girl is the
power to stand on a stage such as this
with ability to impact the perspective
of so many global listeners today you
have possibly all your life ahead of you
with thousands of opportunities dotted
your way the opportunity is determine
who you become so what I’m trying to do
right now is how to give a preachy
sermon or be my field sir purpose of
this talk is to delve into the theme of
becoming an opportunist someone who
takes the seed of passion places it in
the soil of perseverance unless the
sunlight of opportunities guide its root
life thereby letting its natural self
broom so you would ask me why should I
seize obviously what’s the point of it
what happens if I just mister fear
let me tell you missed opportunity
translates to unfilled potential which
then correlates the life of regrets in
what-ifs and why should you do that when
today you have the ability to move this
opportunity in your environment into
building a life changing app like uber
or technological race who like a
driverless car but she don’t even have
to do something that big scale you can
just sees everyday opportunities to
impact your life in the life of others
around you it is this impact that in my
perspective is the reason you should
seize opportunities at the point of it
finally we conclude I would like to take
you back to the bridge we visited in the
start invite you to stand in it and ask
you the one question who do you want to
be thank you
