Beyond What We Believe Possible | Raddina Rahmadianti Ariefa Fikri | TEDxCRIBS Youth

Raddina Rahmadianti Ariefa Fikri, a 10th-grade student, gives a TEDxCRIBS Youth talk on discovering personal capability before trying to create change. She argues that the more useful question is what a person is willing to try once they begin looking for who they are. The talk presents the idea that ordinary people, not only extraordinary ones, can change the world by recognising and acting on their potential.

• Discovering what you are capable of before aiming for change
• Asking what you are willing to try, not only who you are
• Ordinary people can change the world by acting on their potential
• Speaker background: a 10th-grade student who enjoys basketball

Before we can create change in the world, we first have to discover what we are capable of ourselves. Now, the most important question isn’t “Who am I?” But it’s “Now that I’m trying to discover who I am, what am I willing to try?” Because the world doesn’t only change when extraordinary people act. Sometimes, the world changes when ordinary people discover what they are capable of, and choose not to leave that potential behind. Raddina was born on February 28, 2011, and is currently a 10th-grade student. In her free time, she enjoys playing sports, especially basketball. She believes that new experiences can help people learn, grow, and discover different perspectives. Through her participation in TEDx, Raddina hopes to share her ideas with others and encourage them to think beyond the ordinary. She believes that even the smallest ideas can develop into something extraordinary. 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
