If you think about feelings you’ll think of simple words like ‘happy’ or ‘sad’, but feelings can be much more complex. Looking back on your experiences, your emotional responses may teach you something that you didn’t know! If you understand your common feelings better, you can handle problems and grow stronger, even when you fight with someone that you don’t like! Take a moment to hold onto your emotions. Hi! My name is Seola Yoon. I’m 11 years old and I’m from South Korea. I lived in Korea for 7 years and I moved to the Philippines for 3 and a half years then I came to Malaysia 10 months ago. My hobby is watching my favourite idol videos or live. I am afraid of going up to the stage even though I went to the stage many times, but if I see the audience clapping and smiling after finishing my speech I feel glad that I did a great job. I decided to join TEDx because I wanted to spread out all of my opinions and feelings to you to express my feelings through my speech. After you listen to my speech I hope you get inspired by it. 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

During the COVID-19 pandemic millions of people globally were retrenched from their jobs and unable to transition to new fields of work that the world had adopted because of the inflexibility of their skillset. Our current higher education university system is not holistic in its approach and is focused on producing inflexible limited specialists for archaic occupations in a 21st century world. This talk provides a three-step framework for university curriculum reform that will hopefully set up students for true success.
