TEDxHamamatsu 2017
The third TEDxHamamatsu event is going to be held welcoming 8 speakers with including a performer and as always we are not looking for “spectators” who will just watch the event but instead “participants” who would feel the experience and move it to action.
We are preparing programs for participants that would make them share their ideas and become eager to take action.
You may find a step for “Something you want to do some day” or “Something you want but cannot find the chance to do” that is inside of you at TEDxHamamatsu 2017.
Why don’t we “Grab it!” together?
TEDxHamamatsu 2017: Grab it!
I found an article on the Internet last summer. It was “Ideas are worthless”. Furthermore, it was Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, who said the words. He is one of the TED speakers.
He must have given his talk on the TED stage, understanding the spirit of ideas worth spreading. I watched his talk to understand why he wanted to say so.
In his talk, he never said or mean “Ideas are worthless.” He said “If an idea comes upon you, do something for it, then it will soon turn out the idea is valuable or not.”
TEDxHamamatsu started in 2015. The first theme was “Catch our wind, Renovate your sight” (2015) and was followed by “Fusion” (2016). I hoped the participants to find various ideas, to rediscover the attractiveness of them, and to create something new by combining them together.
As the next step, I would like you to take action this year. Everyone may have his/her own action.
I guess you might have left undone:
- What you have been wishing to carry out
- What you have been looking for the chance to start
- What you have been thinking to do someday
You may have some reasons for not doing them. But the chances are that you chose not to.
Larry Pgae says,
When a really great dream shows up, grab it!

“Grab it!”
What does “it” mean to you? TEDxHamamatsu 2017, “Grab it!,” will explore with you to consider the ideas, to share with others, and to take actions together.
I wish the time you will spend in the TEDxHamamatsu encourage you to turn your ideas into reality.

New various ideas may be also produced all over the world today. It doesn’t matter whether it is great or not. You’ll never know that even a small idea can lead to something or produce new values until you take action or share the influence.
So why don’t you try first?
Don’t you think you may grab something if you bravely take a step forward? The steps and the destinations can be many and varied. Don’t forget that your one step may lead to the future.
