Ambition vs Contentment | Nitesh Joshi | TEDxReptonSchoolDubai
TEDx Talks· 2025-10-29 16:42
Have you ever chased a goal so hard you forgot why you wanted it in the first place. Or even worse, you become so hyperfocused that everything else loses value. I think anyone with drive and ambition can relate to that feeling.The chase is a balance, but balance isn't neat. It isn't equal, and it certainly isn't symmetrical. It often feels less like harmony, and more like a battle.Now, when we picture balance, we picture it as yin and yang, equal and opposites perfectly aligned. But life isn't that simple. ...

Finding Balance in a ‘Perfectly’ Imperfect World | Kori Dyahwiratikta | TEDxTelkom University
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-04 16:21
Core Argument - The pursuit of perfectionism can paradoxically lead to an imperfect life, fostering feelings of inadequacy and insecurity [3][5] - Perfection is not flawlessness but rather a balanced and moderate approach to life, embracing imperfections as opportunities for growth [14][24] - Failure is not a final state but a learning process, and true failure only occurs when one stops trying after making a mistake [21] Psychological Impact - Perfectionistic mindsets often categorize outcomes into rigid "black and white" boxes, leading to feelings of unhappiness and inadequacy [2] - The world's inherent uncertainties can trigger a survival mode where individuals seek perfection as a means of feeling safe and in control [9][10] - Overcoming the fear of failure is crucial, as it is the individual's choice to either give up or learn and grow from mistakes [22][23] Practical Application - It is important to redefine "perfect" as balance and moderation, processing life's aspects harmoniously and knowing when "enough is enough" [24][25][26] - Small, consistent improvements are more effective than striving for extreme changes, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the journey rather than solely focusing on the destination [27][28] - Embrace imperfections and mistakes as opportunities for learning and growth, recognizing that personal development stems from these experiences [15][18][19]
