Personal Takeaways from Jacqueline Novogratz's TED Talk "Inspiring a Life of Immersion"
After watching the clip I have changed my
thinking concerning the conformity of the society
and especially in social classes indefinitely. The clips made me acquire
a clearer understanding of humanity especially when Jacqueline says that
everyone is equal. She encourages individuals not to alienate themselves from one
another as people desire to be directed through leadership. I find it motivating
to realize that taking a leadership initiative to bring about change in the
society can be impactful and beneficial especially
for the less fortunate in the community. I also
noticed that my life would be meaningless if I lived luxuriously, while my
neighbors were suffering. I have learned to value others and respect people for
what they are. Therefore, sacrifice, empathy, discipline, courage, and hard
work are important values to demonstrate to make the best out of our living.
Today, I am aware that the society needs my help as an individual. Jacqueline has
taught me that even the little I can do can bring about change and touch
someone else’s life. I am inspired to start doing the best I can to uplift
others in the community through volunteer work in social institutions or saving
up for a good cause. In fact, it would
be remiss of me not to state that Novogratz’s talk was an eye-opener in my life.
