Dream | Jan van Greunen | TEDxHTNIA Youth

A TEDx talk by Jan van Greunen, a South African artist and entrepreneur based in Nanjing, on keeping a dream alive even after it has been set aside for two decades. Using the fingerprint as a metaphor, the talk argues that a dream stays with a person over time, but that it only becomes reality through action. It also suggests that it is never too late to return to a passion. The speaker, who runs Forge Studios and The Forge, a tabletop games store, draws on his own path from academic work to creative business. The talk was given at an independently organized TEDx event.

• Dreams can persist for decades, even when set aside
• Action is needed to turn a dream into reality
• Returning to a passion is never too late
• Speaker: Jan van Greunen, founder of Forge Studios and The Forge

用指纹作比喻告诉我们，藏在心底的那份梦想会一直伴随我们，哪怕被我们搁置遗忘长达二十年。但仅仅怀揣梦想远远不够，唯有动手付诸行动，才能让梦想落地成真。重拾热爱永远不会太晚，梦想不会离开你，只需要你动手去实践。 Current Title - Founder and Owner Career - Master's Degree in Financial Risk Management, University Lecturer, Academic Publications, Educator, Founder and Owner.
