Theme: Digging Deep

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new”, Dan Millman famously wrote and the origin of TEDxAUT is revealed. We make changes because what we already have is not perfect, we want thing to be better. The goal to change is usually solving a problem and it’s said that half of the solution is understanding the problem. What if we have not yet put enough effort to get to know the roots of our current circumstances? What if we need to look at the world more carefully? What if we should dig the ground deeper?
