The First Place the Problem Showed Up | William Wang | TEDxArbutus Ridge Youth

William Wang, élève de Grade 10 à West Vancouver, s'appuie sur son expérience de procrastination face à un devoir scolaire et sur la construction d'un vaisseau spatial en LEGO. Il s'interroge sur la raison pour laquelle corriger sans cesse le même problème ne mène pas forcément à une solution durable. Cette intervention, donnée lors d'un événement TEDx organisé de manière indépendante, aborde aussi l'effet de la procrastination sur sa vision de la gestion du temps et de la responsabilité.

• Gestion du temps et responsabilité

“The loose piece wasn’t the problem. It was just the first place the real problem showed up.” Through his personal experiences with procrastination and building a LEGO spaceship, William Wang explores why repeatedly fixing the same problem may not lead to a lasting solution. As he encourages us to reflect, “What am I fixing over and over again?” and “What underneath haven’t I fixed yet?” My name is William Wang, and I am a Grade 10 student from West Vancouver. I’m interested in business and technology, and I enjoy learning new things and playing video games. I would describe myself as funny, joyful, and kind. One experience that has shaped me is procrastinating on an important school assignment, which taught me that waiting until the last minute can create unnecessary stress and that taking responsibility for my time matters. In my TEDx talk, I explore procrastination and share how it changed the way I think about time management, responsibility, and personal growth. 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
