4 Quotes that will make you WANT to attend Columbia's TEDx Event

With Columbia's TEDx Event themed around Impulse and Impact quickly approaching (May 2nd), we decided to survey the students that are apart of the teams constructing the event from the ground up. Here were their thoughts on what drives them to create impact and why you should be apart of the event, whether that be by volunteering or being apart of the audience.

1.) "I like to see great change and make better and healthy habits." - Naomi (Presenter Team)

It is important to find the value of listening to others' stories and the impact it can have on your life and the life of many others.

2.) "The gratification and feeling of fulfillment that comes from making an impact." - Veronika (Presenter Team)

Changing lives is a lot of work. Regardless, the fulfillment and gratification one can receive knowing they changed someone's life for the better is priceless.

3.) "What drives me to create impact is witnessing people smile. It is such a powerful experience, a smile is truly a potent tool that can brighten anyone's day." - Alice (Production Team)

Humans are all emotion driven. Something as small as a smile can help make someone's day without you even knowing it.

4.) "Telling stories can help reshape lives" - Jonathan (Marketing Team)

The power of words and stories are endless. Listening to others can help you gain an insight or skill that you thought you were incapable of or was never possible.

Final Thoughts

You never know who or what can impact and change your life. Make sure to attend our event on May 2nd for a chance at experiencing this firsthand. The impact humans can have on one another is everlasting.
