What if we could all openly share ideas? | Yu – Hsin Kao | TEDxYouth@Columbus


did you know what I just did I whispered

what was I was boring I could be

whispering an idea it could be an idea

as simple as a new and easier way to

wash dishes or an idea as intense and

crucial as a new way to deal with global

warming the idea i just shared could

change human history the problem is we

live in a world where in some places

people can face consequences if they

shared an idea their ruler didn’t like

even in a dictator free country like the

United States some people out still keep

quiet because they are afraid that other

people might not like copy or make fun

of their ideas when I was in second

grade I had just came to the US and only

knew a little English every day they say

am I see and didn’t even try to express

my thoughts feelings and lastly my ideas

no not just a few many people thought I

was dumb then in third grade I decided

to share just one of my ideas for group

for project our project turned out

better than we expected I got better

grades and started to like school more

if I could be like this just by sharing

ideas what if everyone shared ideas in

order for adults to share their ideas it

will be much easier if they did it when

they were children when I was in third

grade I was forced to work with a team

and that helped me come out of my shell

and do my part study has shown that

sharing idea influences creativity and

working in a team helps because everyone

has to participate in order for whatever

they’re working on to be successful

sharing ideas also helps kids try new

things kids can learn a lot by just

listening and thinking about each

other’s opinions though even when adults

though sharing ideas as a kid is one

thing having the courage to do it as

another there are some things that

prevent adults from doing so hearing

other people might not like their idea

we’re not getting credit for their ideas

are two reasons and if your ideas never

get put into use what is the point of

sharing them but when your ideas gets

used by another person it grows bigger

then helps you connect with people the

idea gets put into greater use though

even when adults do share ideas other

people might not like it they want to

send the idea to the promised land for

example GM General Motors designed this

really nice and youthful electric car

called the ev1 in 1990 the oil companies

did not like it because they say it’s

bad for the oil selling business and

then everyone would start buying the ev1

and they will go up business the car

companies gave about the same reasons

that everyone will start buying the ev1

and they will go go out of business in

history sharing ideas do have its

advantages for example in 1878 Thomas

Edison announced that he had the answer

and knew how to make an incandescent

light the light bulb changed the world

while creating the light bulb he did

build on to other people’s ideas though

this shows how ideas can be used and put

into greater use you can be part of the

next generation of people who expresses

their ideas by just simply telling one

person your ideas then the idea could be

spread around and put into use don’t be

afraid of other people who disapprove of

your ideas your ideas are significant thank you
