What Comes Before the Answer? | Syakila Mufti | TEDxCRIBS Youth

Big changes often begin with one small question that a person refuses to ignore. The talk follows the idea that a question becomes an idea, an idea becomes an action, and that action can benefit people the speaker has never met. It suggests that finding yourself is less about having a perfect answer today and more about finding the question that shows who you can become. The talk was given by Syakila Mufti, a grade 8 student, at TEDxCRIBS Youth, an independently organized TEDx event. She describes her interest in asking big questions, her first public speaking experience, and her goal of motivating others to discover their own potential.

• Small questions can lead to ideas and actions with wider impact
• Self-discovery as finding the right question rather than a perfect answer
• Personal growth, confidence and public speaking as a first step

Big changes don't start with big things. They start with one small question that a person refuses to ignore. A question becomes an idea. An idea becomes an action. And that action can help people we have never even met. So maybe finding yourself isn't about having a perfect answer to who you are today. Maybe it’s about finding the question that helps you discover who you can become tomorrow. Syakila Mufti is a grade 8 student that is looking for new abilities, which she’s looking for a better self.
