Raise your hand if you were also taught now very recently to question some of those lessons.Hi, I just turned 20 and yes, I have started to question everything. I think my parents are silently waiting for my teenage rebellion to wear off because th ...

Imagine a world where the only form of communication was crying. Right. As children, our only way of communicating to our parents was if we simply cried, we'd get our work done.But as we grew up, we had to unlearn that crying was the only way of communication. We formed words slowly, negotiations, arguments and finally we can speak how we can today. The fundamental thing is unlearning is not forgetting.It's a common misconception because of the prefix un. It negates the word. It is about evolving.It is reco ...

Hello everyone. Sorry for the delay. So I was working on my TEDex speech when my mom barged in demanding to see an update on it because I'd exceeded the due line.Uh she said for me the problem is my notes were scattered across the Google Docs randomly. When she saw the chaos of my screen, she froze. Literally, she just stood there unmoving, staring at my screen like it had done the worst crime imaginable.When she finally spoke, she said, "What is this, Anaga? Where is your pen and paper? Why haven't you wri ...
Breaking Hustle Mindset | Marina Sarah | TEDxYouth SNIS
TEDx Talks· 2025-07-18 14:35
Core Argument - The speech critiques the "hustle mentality" prevalent in many industries, arguing that constant striving and overwork are not necessarily the keys to success [2][3][11] - It proposes that "unlearning" this mentality is crucial for well-being and genuine achievement [5][13] Key Problems with Hustle Mentality - The relentless pursuit of more leads to exhaustion, burnout, and a disconnect from reality [8][9][10] - It fosters a culture that glorifies overwork and equates busyness with success, often resembling a demanding corporate environment [11] - Individuals may measure their worth by productivity, leading to guilt and anxiety when not constantly achieving [17] The Art of Unlearning - Unlearning involves challenging deeply held beliefs and societal norms about work and rest [19] - It requires recognizing that rest is not laziness but a necessary fuel for productivity and creativity [14][15] - Saying "no" to commitments that don't align with priorities is essential for focusing energy on what truly matters [16] - Shifting the focus from productivity to experiencing life, connecting with others, and finding joy is crucial [18]

TEDx Talks· 2025-07-18 14:35
Core Idea - The speech emphasizes the importance of unlearning outdated beliefs and habits to foster personal and professional growth [1][5] - It frames unlearning not as forgetting, but as a conscious choice to adopt new perspectives and challenge inherited assumptions [19] Key Steps to Unlearning - Willingness to learn new things by shifting mindset from "I may be wrong" to "they or something else may be right" [9][10] - Loosening grip on existing beliefs, holding them with open palms rather than clenched fists, allowing for modification [12] - Courage to ask "but why," challenging systems of thought and inherited beliefs to reshape societies [13][14][15] Obstacles to Unlearning - Confirmation bias, the tendency to seek information that confirms existing beliefs, even if untrue [6][7] - Difficulty in overcoming cognitive dissonance, the discomfort experienced when learning something that contradicts existing knowledge [8] Practical Applications - Unlearning in relationships, adapting how one loves or ending unhealthy relationships [16] - Unlearning self-limiting beliefs and scarcity mindsets in personal life, tracing their origins to external sources [16][17] - Unlearning in professional life, embracing new ways of thinking and working with emerging technologies like AI [17]
