The RIS talks are featured on the official TEDx Talks YouTube channel. Watch our students in action below:
The Blurred Line: Living for Life, or Living for Likes | Piyawadee Sevikul | TEDxYouth@RIS: “On social media, the line between fact and illusion, online and offline, life and likes has blurred, and it is in our ability to unblur that line to find balance in our lives.”
Love & Labour | Kira Wongwannaraksa | TEDxYouth@RIS: “The pursuit of happiness is fragile; if we take one path independently, we will either achieve happiness for a short period or never. Money and gratitude alone can only sustain us and our loved ones around us for so long, so we must learn to balance these two ideas. We need to find time to bring our needs and wants onto the table while also showing love for those who have helped us, or mean the world to us.”
The Balance Between Passion and Responsibility | Punyawit Anantawittayanon | TEDxYouth@RIS: “Ever played games all day but remembered just as you’re about to sleep, you have homework? Balance personal time and work time. Make sure you don’t forget your passions, though.”
Perfectly Imperfect: Navigating Balance | Priya Hirunchupong | TEDxYouth@RIS: “Society’s obsession with perfectionism can limit personal growth and fulfillment. By embracing imperfection, we can find resilience, creativity, and true success in a more balanced way.”
Staying Afloat | Kewa Kyaw | TEDxYouth@RIS: “As a high schooler, it is hard managing college applications and school work without balancing your mental health. Even if you are not a high schooler, this talk will help you achieve different ways to manage your mental health while also juggling school life.”
Behind the Wheel Vs. Behind the Desk | Ryo Ketsiri | TEDxYouth@RIS: “Time doesn’t wait for anyone. This motorsports-influenced talk offers insightful strategies for chasing your dreams while maintaining academic prowess.”
Turning Busyness Into Progress | Kundol Tangruthaiwanich | TEDxYouth@RIS: “Prioritizing the activities you like is more productive than spreading yourself across too many commitments. Giving full dedication and focus leads to success in that thing in the first place. Balancing our time properly leads to actual progress, not cramming everything into an already busy schedule.”
Standing On Two Feet | Arissara Kunpuang | TEDxYouth@RIS: “Changes can impact one’s ability to be themselves fully. There is nothing wrong with exploring who you are, but always trust that you will be the happiest as you find the balance in your identity.”
The Glass Wall Inside Your Head | Thanakorn Vajirakachorn | TEDxYouth@RIS: “One must first achieve self-acceptance through belief and patience. Because you express yourself differently when you are with other people, and if you do not balance that properly with your true self within, it can become exhausting for you to thrive in society and be your happiest self.”
