Bouncing back from hospital beds to resilience | Quang Thịnh Phùng | TEDxFTU Hanoi
Phùng Quang Thịnh opened the 2nd session with the topic "???????? ???? ???? ???????? ???? ?? ??????????". It is an inspiring personal story of a young basketball enthusiast who overcame life's setbacks to embark on a journey of rediscovering strength and purpose.
Once felt overshadowed by his peers and yearning for recognition, basketball gave Thịnh the sense of purpose he sought. However, a major turning point came when he was diagnosed with bradycardia and required a pacemaker implant. This forced him to give up many familiar activities and confront the physical limitations of his condition.
From a state of despair and fear, he gradually shifted his perspective thanks to stories from other patients and by taking time to reassess his challenges and change his mindset. Thịnh adjusted his lifestyle, found a way to continue engaging with basketball in a suitable role, and embraced gratitude for what life offered.
The speech concluded with a powerful message: embrace the "breakpoints" in life as opportunities for renewal and growth. It is our mindset, not the adversities we face, that determines how we overcome challenges.
"????? ????????? ?? ???? ?? ? ???????? ?? ????????" Every year, ???? ????????'s features an impressive lineup of high-quality speakers. However, we have always been on the lookout for a voice that can represent students and accompany young people on their journey of self-discovery. That person is none other than ???̀?? ????? ???̣?? – the champion of the ???????????? 2024 competition! Thịnh has shared his life story, detailing his journey of battling through days sick in bed and then continuing to nurture that flame, improving himself daily to become the best version of himself. He convincingly earned the highest title in this year’s ???????????? competition. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
