15 is the new 50 | Zaha Gupta | TEDxTDV

On her fifteenth birthday, the speaker chose simplicity, shedding most of her belongings to focus on what truly matters. In a world full of challenges and distractions, she shares how intentional living and purpose shape her generation’s courage to dream and act. What others learn at 50, they’re learning now at 15—an opportunity and an obligation. Plato once said, “The beginning is the most important part of the work.” For many, Zaha represents just that—a promising beginning and a glimpse into the new and next generation. An eleventh grader with a passion for exploring the world in its depth and breadth, Zaha finds joy in reading and writing. She embodies the ‘light’ we aspire to see and hear in today’s times. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
