“Why do we exist in this world?”
One of mankind’s all-time question – one that we must have asked ourselves several times during the span of our life.
Helly Tong, successful entrepreneur at age 23, reckons that everyone is born for a reason. That reason becomes our destiny and thus gives us the motivation and belief to continue our existence. Through her confessional talk, sharing about her two current projects, her past projects that she considered to be a failure and the period studying abroad in Australia during which she experienced bouts of depression, Helly urges us to re-determine whether we, at the moment, truly “live” or simply continue to “survive”, by differentiating between these two different concepts.
So what does it mean to “live”, and how does that differ from to “survive”? How can we find inner balance in our life?
First, breathe, as advised by Helly, and let’s find the answer for ourselves through Helly’s talk title “Finding Balance in the Digital Age.” Helly Tong studied business at Macquarie University in Australia, before founding the conceptual lifestyle chain HEVERLY–a collection of clothing stores, restaurants and coffee shops–at the age of 19. Currently based in Ho Chi Minh City, she actively involves and influences the art and social media community. Helly is the Vietnamese ambassador for Design For Change–one of the most popular educational programs founded by educator/TED speaker Kiran Bir Sethi. The program enables children to become creative, proactive, empathetic and responsible citizens. She has given talks at conferences, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations across Vietnam, focusing on important social themes such as sustainable lifestyle and why we exist, etc. In 2016, Helly founded The Yen Concept where she evangelizes the idea of Green Living Space. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
