Aren’t we forgetting the need to explore new elements and enlighten the world together? Each and every one of us bears a different glow with the uniqueness we possess, but it only shines so dimly alone.TEDxUniversityofMalaya 2019 aims to deliver the message that we as humans are the master of ourselves but not to forget the nature of humans – to articulate among one another and cast a radiant glow on this land where we build our stories. We urge everyone to constantly discover new elements and enrich ourselves; to consistently connect with the people around to share and exchange the wisdom, the encounters that each of us bears differently. And by congregating the different glow we all have, together we will be able to give out a spectrum of light that will be ever wonderful.Alsu is a personal growth enthusiast, now contributing by building Mindvalley's platform for transformational education - roadmapping, creating collaborations, delivering valuable product.
