Theme: Pegasus

As you might know, Pegasus in Greek Mythology was an immortal winged horse. In the present time, the white horse is an imaginary creature that exists in our fantasies. To relate this with the present time, we can think of this winged horse as our dreams that are yet to be fulfilled. As the youth of the nation, it is very much important that we responsibly realize that the nation is in our hands and to take it forward, it is utmost necessary that we progress. The youth of today wants to break free from all the barriers of life and fly freely but for that to happen, one has to dream and work towards making that dream turn into reality. In this process, n no. of hindrances might occur and drift you from your path but the bottom line is that once you decide you want something and work towards it, it is bound to happen. As very rightly said by Walt Disney, “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them”.

Pegasus is a utopia just like all your dreams and fantasies till the time you get up and start working towards it. But for all of that to begin taking shape, we must have a dream. We shouldn’t stop dreaming or stop believing in our dreams just because someone finds it ridiculous or impossible.

This TEDxEllisBridge event would revolve around the same idea. The focus would be on spreading ideas of not limiting the challenges but challenging our limitations each day.
