You Only Live Once | Iris Kim | TEDxKISJeju
[Music] hi I'm only glad to be with you today I am a career student from public middle school and today I am here to share my story however difficult it may be because I believe my view about what feature is is worth theory I am Hannah material and I'm living an ordinary life as my friend I spread the most on my time as full and Academy or the so-called hopper and I have to prepare for school exam once a month and there is no free time for me maybe almost every Korean teenager and even teeth are living the same life as mine and when people see us observe the cycle of our life they remark that we are just filling in on our bills then why people are so upset mistrust of feature feature when you look at this world what is the first thing that pops out of your mind say movie or branded University or a treatment this word feature had some subtle magical power that forces us to do something and it is the word that motivate a lot of people because your day doesn't end today you have to think about tomorrow because you are you are most likely to leave tomorrow yet this word has also been stopping us from enjoying the moment now today most of the Korean students are studying Natalie to enter the college with light reputations and people are working so hard to make their future a better place this is necessary since the society demand a time and effort from those who want sexual places in the future society although it's a golem name there is no other option but to meet expectation of the society so who actually cares about today let's think about where the cause of apprehension toward what might happen in the future comes from it from presence it's no problem of the present made concerned not a bigger problem in the near future the tip of the iceberg that shows above the surface can invade the reveal of gigantic trunk we are continuing to eat more our presence on the tea everyone acts for the future but think about it nobody tries to put it into the action as long as we nor the present the problem and the future continue eternally we can't change anything just by preparing we can embrace the present now I would like to transition this talk into about to Korean education system one of the reason I'm here today is because I am young students who have not experienced any hours outside of Korea International Education but before telling you my story I want to show you a few videos that portray a typical than the life of Korean students and how they think about Korean education system in this video as a boy and a girl who study at a Korean public school they are elementary student let's take a look [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] straight what is his future job doesn't require any study the girl doesn't even have something close to the truth-- dream but their tip study and they are preparing the ritual by studying how I want it now I will show you a survey in which Korean student asked why they're studying for the future 100 student answered and there was two question in this survey first what makes you feel tired about the Korean education system this wasn't a multiple-choice question but allow the answer were overlapping the answer it is hard to do a lot of preparation but without it I can't follow their mother second was what are you storing for justify consent of the student replied that they want to study to get into a good branded University 22% of students said they are starting to prepare their next school exam the research tell us something it shows how we focus on the present too much and the most of and creating education suspended to change this way of the life not helpful for achieving their dreams along with these simple tasks based on Korean curriculum student mentioned a lot of problem in the education system it's so competitive only for prisons Wars too many academics and so busy so tired and so on all of this our truth for Karina students the overrated competition invade through our daily lives and make us so tired and anxious so what kind of change can we make at this point I would like to suggest one way to make our life better when you journey you might be surprised or even a bit disappointed at suggestion it is quite simple and joy just experience every moment of your life come and say isn't it but if everyone already follow and do what they need why if we fearing it's so often why if we consider a comment we have family here with the phrase but we're on any nervous what it is telling us and it is now time open our ears and heart to this simple yet powerful truth there are terrorists our reason why this ipod is so common it is because this is the truth that words continuous reminders so we can just fill every moment of your life preparing for your future is not time of it of course if you don't tell about future at all that is problematic however I hope all of you here realize that today is the most important day of your whole lifetime after all tomorrow will be today in other world our future will be our presence one day believe the truth voice can improve your day and get rid of the individual labels that society gives you don't classify yourself as a typical Korean student but a unique person with extraordinary personality try to have other people and make some difference in your life do not let your concern and plans or a feature stop you from doing what you want to do today and feel grateful and what you have today Jeanne Shaw of famous american journalist said nothing is as far away as one minute ago this octane reinforces the point that we must focus on today leave the presence and try to become a person you haven't dared to be before future take train your present so they continued your whole life running and this is how I view feature as a typical Korean students thank you for being here today [Applause] [Music]
