TEDxNanjingSalon " Think about Journey"

We cover distance to reach our destination. We go on a journey to make a change.

From sailing across the Pacific Ocean on your own to touring the North Pole on a sleigh, from experiencing zero gravity in space to pushing human limits as a skydiver, a journey could be physical and spatial.

However, a journey could also be abstract and temporal: from appreciating classical music to researching emotional and psychological puzzles, from the life story of a magician to a transformation from consumer to contributor and the rediscovery of sympathy and philanthropy, a journey is our exploration of the unknown and the unlimited possibilities.

How do you interpret Journey? What do you think of if we talk about Journey?
What’s your most memorable travelling story?
What inspiration and revelation it brings to your life?
Together let’s Think about Journey and the people on the way.
Think about Journey
Power of the Way

Think about journey
TEDxNanjing 月度沙龙”Think about Journey”
当我们希望到达另一端或彼岸之时，我们就需要一段旅程。
当我们做出改变之时，需要一段旅程。

旅程，可以是空间意义上的游历或探险：只身划船横渡太平洋，踩着雪橇到北极，在航空飞机中体验零重力，或穿着翼服体验一种极限。
它也可以是一种时间或内在上的改变，探索未知，思考可能性：对古典音乐的理解，对情感，心理难题的研究历程；一位魔术师个体人生的旅程，或是人类自身从消费者到贡献者，培养起怜悯大爱之心的历程。

你眼中的旅程是什么？当我们谈到旅程时，你想到了什么？
你所经历过最难忘的旅程故事是…
它带给你怎样的思索与启迪？
思考一下，一同探索旅程，探索旅程中的行走者和行走的力量。
Think about journey 行走的力量
