Theme: 乘风破浪：Riding On The Wave of Change

我們秉承了TED大會的理念——發揚值得傳播的點子（Ideas Worth Spreading），定于2014年7月20日舉辦TEDxPenangRoad的第一場中文演說大會——【乘風破浪】。我們希望能向大眾傳播優秀的思想，啟發大眾，讓大眾反思并學習從不一樣的角度與觀點去看待問題，看待世界。

主講嘉賓陣容鼎盛，他們將各別扮演不同的角色——弄潮人、掀浪人及觀汐人，從各方各面為觀眾帶來最精彩的演說。

1. 弄潮人 ： 不甘於平凡，立志在平庸世界揮灑色彩。
2. 掀浪人 ： 激起改變的浪潮，醞釀著下一道改變的力量。
3. 觀汐人 ： 不僅是隔岸觀潮，而是靜聽潮水前進後撤的餘聲，心觀日出夕下世界變化。

Alexdrina Chong

We live in the world of binary oppositions. Yes and No; This or that; Right or Left. Him or Her. Social imaginary prompts us to think away from the familiar routes of life locked in this binary oppositions and think of it “anew”. This understanding shapes my approach towards life, and also in running my business, and the way I lead my students towards life long learning. Simply to stay inspired, to live a meaningful life.
