TEDxXiguan 2019
Action / Intention
Amidst many uncertainties, one thing we can say for sure is this: most of us have good intentions.
But—are good intentions enough?
From every New Year’s resolution to all those would have, could have, should have moments—when we fail to act, we feel the frustration. We miss opportunities. We suffer the consequences.
Good intentions, like a full barrel of fuel, are full of energy and potential. But on their own, they go nowhere.
It’s action that moves us forward.
In the equation Action over Intention, Intention is the denominator—the source of motivation and energy. Action is the numerator—the real steps that bring intention to life.
With intention as our base, and action as our move, we begin to move forward.
Like the two wheels of a hoverboard, Intention and Action must stay in sync to keep us going.
At TEDxXiguan 2019, we invite you to act on your best intentions.
