Über dieses Video

In this insightful TEDx Youth talk, Malyaka and Maryam explore the powerful shift from seeking validation to embracing growth. Together, they challenge the mindset of constantly trying to prove our worth through achievements, comparisons, and external approval, and instead advocate for a healthier focus on learning, improving, and becoming better versions of ourselves. Through personal reflections and relatable experiences, they examine how self-doubt, fear of failure, and the pressure to meet expectations can hold us back from reaching our potential. More importantly, they show how growth begins when we stop asking, "Am I good enough?" and start asking, "How can I learn from this?" This talk is a reminder that confidence is not built by proving ourselves to others, but by trusting the process of growth, embracing mistakes, and recognizing that progress matters more than perfection.
