TED speaker:
When scrolling through the TED web page I managed to come over this unique video that caught my interest. Instead of a mature skilled speaker who believes they have a great view of life, Child prodigy Adora Svitak (aged 12) was equally or I would even say more moving at sharing her view on how adults can equally learn as much from children as they teach them. I find her speech most interesting because she identifies how adults come up with grand plans but then they hit the wall of realisation; the cost of it; the benefits; the impossible. However Children don't have that reason not to come up with thinks, allowing them to be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking, being creative, going beyond their reach and discovering new ways and limits to the way of life.
To a person like me, who can see themselves one day become a teacher, believes that we do need to listen to children to let them inspire us and let them tell us how they believe the world works so then we can help them expand on their potential aims in life and hopefully make their dreams come true.
