Making my own good karma.

I was 14 when I first discovered TED. Growing up in Myanmar, I always had this fire in me. I wanted to do something BIG. I wanted to empower people in my country and prove to the world that we, the people of Myanmar, were brimming with ideas that could shake the world. I told myself, "If no one else is going to do it, I will." And just like that, a fanciful dream turned into reality. I decided to start a TEDx organization. "Ideas worth spreading" and "Ideas change everything"—are a philosophy I live by and will carry with me for life, as a TEDx-er and as a change agent.
