What is the Legacy You Want to Leave? | Ayan Aden | TEDxDeMontfortUWomen

Why do you do what you do? If you were to die tomorrow, what would you leave behind? We all have a personal story of a time in our lives that we decided to make a change, but can you still recognise the motivation behind your actions today? In this wonderful blend of public speaking and spoken word, Ayan Aden asks us to consider the way in which we live day-to-day. She talks about legacy as "doing the small things big, not the big things" and, with the use of lyrical mastery, she talks us through her personal tale of legacy.

    I have talked that much stuff that I delete things. Because I couldn't be bothered showing people anymore. I just get bullied by the police to remove some of it anyway

    Too much 'efficiency' can lead to burnout. Take the time to relax.

    It's a pretty you don't go for the big things because we need more people that do,🧚🏻‍♂️like me. Definitely at this time don't you think? But it's fine if people want to stick to little things. If that's what they can only handle.🤗
