TEDxXiguan 2016

Constructive Disruption

August 13, 2016· 12 talks

We are living in an extraordinary time where everything around us seems to function as usual, and we can easily find satisfaction in what already exists.

But imagine if no one had ever thought about the possibility of flying and everyone had just focused on making cars faster — human transportation might never have achieved such a revolutionary leap.

While we may not have definite answers to grand challenges, that doesn’t mean we can’t explore and discuss them. “Disruption” isn’t our ultimate goal. Instead, we seek to transition from “fixed mindsets” to “breaking the mold,” from “the usual way of doing things” to “constructive disruption,” and from “this is the way it’s always been” to “infinite possibilities.”
