"Trust that you're good enough ... Ask questions, and laugh in the face of people who say that they're stupid questions. Be open to learning and admitting when you don't know what the hell is going on. Refuse to hold yourself back."

Fame is what others think of you, but talent comes from within. Let's lead our own way. ✨

If it weren't for our inquisitive minds we wouldn't know anything! Wisdom is knowing what you don't know.

Talent needs a work ethic & persistence to be successful. "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

This is exactly the energy we all need. Especially the "laugh in the face of stupid questions" part – we got to embrace the learning process! ❤️

A questioner helps an answerer to show how accurately he knows the material, that he is talking about. He helps him to look at the answers from a different perspective and, perhaps, it helps to notice something new! Moreover, if a person didn't understand the material, it doesn't say that the person is stupid. We can't know everything in the world! That's why the questioner just wants to know the material, but maybe the answerer can't express his thoughts in an inaccessible way!

¡Hola! He encontrado tu charla TEDx increíblemente inspiradora. Me recordó la importancia de luchar por el talento y la pasión en lugar de la fama. Gracias por compartir tu viaje y animarnos a soñar en grande. #TalentoSobreFama #Inspiración

Absolutely! Trusting in your own worth is foundational. Asking questions, even those deemed "stupid," is crucial for growth. It's a sign of curiosity, not ignorance. Admitting confusion shows strength, not weakness. Holding back only stifles potential. How often do we let fear of judgment silence our inquiries? Embrace learning with boldness. What’s your take on balancing confidence and humility in the quest for knowledge? #TrustYourself #CuriosityWins #FearlessLearning

Such an inspiring talk on the power of creativity and innovation! Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking perspective. Embracing creativity not only drives personal growth but also fosters innovation within our teams and organizations.
