書かれていない結末 | Kavya Reddy | TEDxThe Gaudium School

TEDxThe Gaudium Schoolでの講演で、学生のKavya Reddyは、生後6か月の乳児の前に4つの物を置いて将来を占うというインドの伝統から話を始めます。確実さを求める気持ちや、許可・自信・明確な計画を待つことが、人が自分の能力を発見する妨げになりうることを考察します。個人的な振り返りと、暗闇の中で水を読む船乗りのイメージを用いて、すべての答えがなくても思慮深く前に進む方法を探ります。

• 4つの物で子どもの将来を占うインドの伝統
• 確実さを待つことが人を立ち止まらせる理由
• 不確実さの中で経験から学び、答えがなくても始めること

How often do we call ourselves “not ready” before we’ve even taken the first step? Opening with an Indian tradition in which four objects are placed before a six-month-old child in the hope of predicting their future, this talk explores our desire for certainty, even before we are old enough to make our own choices. It examines how waiting for permission, confidence, or a clear plan can keep us from discovering what we’re capable of, and how we can learn to navigate uncertainty rather than use it as a reason to stop. Through personal reflection and the image of a sailor reading water in the dark, it considers what it means to move forward thoughtfully without having every answer. It invites us to question the limits we mistake for locked doors, recognise that understanding can grow through experience, and permit ourselves to begin anyway. Kavya Reddy is an 11th-grade student at Excellencia College and a two-time national declamation winner. She enjoys anything that involves speaking and is an avid MUNner who loves a good debate. When she’s not juggling her hundred hobbies, internships, and approximately seventeen side quests, you’ll probably find her doomscrolling or eating ramen. She looks forward to making the most of this TEDx experience, meeting new people, and interacting with everyone. 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
