Ted talks are short speeches or lectures that tackle essential topics intending to spread helpful and educational information; the primary objective is to enlighten and empower local and international audiences in an easy-to-understand approach (TED, 2019). The Ted talk exercise in class was focused on building confidence; every student was to present their own topics related to business. For my Ted talk, my topic was ‘Success’ which revolved around my personal experiences in the Philippines and how they translated to success when I came back to the UAE. I was hesitant about what I was going to say, I simply could not think of anything to put into my script, and I eventually decided to just present without a script—from the heart, as they would say, as this was a rather emotional subject for me. I loved the result of my speech; what was memorable for me was one of my peers messaged me the evening of that day to say that she was inspired because she was going through the same thing. I gave her some advice and hoped her the best in her journey. As I looked back on my own journey, I remembered that it was blurry in the middle of it all; that’s why we need to keep moving forward even if it’s difficult to see the good in it because it’s preparing us for the great things ahead for us.
