Today, Ela is thinking of becoming a professional tennis player. to become a player and win Grand Slams.Ela was very excited when she found out she was going to give a TEDx talk. that he had heard about it. He immediately started making plans with his parents. After watching the TEDx video, I realized that the speakers are very experienced and professional. and realized that they were children, so he changed direction and invited the child speakers. and started watching it. They were most interested in Molly's speech, which was viewed 8 million times. Molly took the stage with a baby and captured the audience's attention in the first 10 seconds. and she took it. Ela wanted to try it too, but her mom couldn't find a baby. At this point, his mother said to him, “In life, always take the long way you have to. The long way takes time, there are potholes you have to fall. But you must be able to get up every time you fall. That's what transforms.” This was a very important motivation for Ela. Preparing for speaking exams for their lessons in secondary school “If you get up from where you've fallen, you'll be able to help yourself. if you trust, if you work hard, you will make a good speech.” her mother's words inspired her. In her speech, Ela also mentioned a research survey. This one ten years ago fifty people were asked in research what they would change in their bodies. what they wanted, they were asked. The children's answers were fantastic; his chin like the jaws of a shark, fire coming out of your eyes, like a cheetah. they fantasized about running fast. Adults, on the other hand, dreamed about the shape of the nose or he wanted physical changes like weight. “While children fly, adults why is he content with grounded thoughts?” asked Ela. Ela said she has been playing tennis for 2.5 years and wants to win a Grand Slam. he realized that the adults were smiling at him skeptically. “Come on. Let's see...” and so on. When he investigated what it meant, he found that learned that the statement contains skepticism and continued to believe in himself would be the real motivation to transform him. In the research questionnaire, the dreams that children see as achievable, seemed impossible to adults. But Ela is happy to dream and will not give up on continuing to transform.
