Beyond the Bare Minimum | Freya Schecter | TEDxDesign Tech HS

Motivation and a sense of possibility, according to this TEDxDesign Tech High talk, are shaped by the people and surroundings around us rather than being a fixed personality trait. The speaker, Freya Schecter, a junior at Design Tech High School, argues that low motivation can be changed by deliberately seeking out people and environments that help a person reach their potential. The talk was given at an independently organized TEDx event that follows the TED conference format. The video is published by TEDx Talks.

Our relationships and surroundings shape our motivation and sense of possibility. Contrary to many people's belief, low motivation isn't a fixed personality trait. Instead, we can design our own outcomes by intentionally seeking out people and environments that help us realize our potential.
