“‘Creating a Hopeful Future’ – What does it mean? This year’s theme focusses on looking at the ideas and actions which we must embark on in order to create a better, more positive future to live in. Are you happy with the world that surrounds you today? What can we do to create a positive change? This is the opportunity to look at the world as it currently is – and begin our journey, bringing others along the way, to improve it so that all of society can benefit.” I love being apart of the TEDx planning committee and working with the ISPP students for this past three years. As an organizer, I have had a lot of experiences such as social advertiser (manage facebook posts etc..), mic sets up, stage design, choosing speakers and helping in modifying the speakers’ speeches. I’m very satisfied with working in events because I’ll get meet a lot of people who share a passion for what they do. It’s one of my dream and what many people dream of doing too. Sure enough, working in events is not always a fun thing, there are dull tasks, too, and it is stressful. But what I found out is that planning is one of the most significant project management and time management techniques. Planning teaches me how to prepare a sequence of action steps to achieve some specific goal. I’ve learned that if you do it effectively, you can reduce much the necessary time and effort of achieving the goal. A plan is like a map.
