Adora Svitak

Today, I saw a TED Video by Adora Svitak.
In her speech, she strongly argues that the world really needs childish thinking. The world needs bold ideas, wild creativity, and optimism. Then, she showed us pictures which made me laugh. She said that it was adults who committed such actions like Imperialism, and colonization or world wars. However, she also compared them with many children such as Charlie Simpson, who helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti or Ruby Bridges, who helped to end segregation in the U.S.
However, adults call us "childish". But by evidence, age has absolutely nothing to do with it. Her speech was very moving and above all, she will become a great speaker:)

Below is Adora Svitak's Video, So if you are interested, Take a Look!!
Well, it has Korean Subtitle(By TED TALKS), so if you are not able to speak English, look at the subtitle!!:)

  1. I haven't heard about Adora Svitak but what you wrote there got me interested into searching her. You have a good summary of her talk and I would also want to hear about your own opinion of why the world needs childish thinking. :)
