Be Empty To Become Full | Thuy Van Pham Hong | TEDxYouth@TranPhuGiftedHighSchool

“To be the fullest, I believe we need to learn to be empty, to understand that we are yet very little and we have so many things to learn in life…”

We can compare life to a relay marathon. Humans always have to try to keep up with the constant changes of society, but instead of anyone else, we are our own companion. In fact, no milestones should be considered “the last”. In this ever-changing world, people should know that they are imperfect and always need to "empty" themselves to broaden their horizons. The talk on the power of "emptying" yourself will hence be delivered by the woman entrepreneur, social activist, and 3rd Runner-up Miss International 2015 Pham Hong Thuy Van at TEDxYouth Tran Phu Gifted High School 2023. Pham Hong Thuy Van is a Vietnamese model, MC and coach. She was born on October 6, 1993, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Thuy Van is best known for being the 3rd runner-up of Miss International 2015.
Aside from her pageant career, Thuy Van is also an entrepreneur and a philanthropist. She is the founder of the vegan cosmetic brand SHEGAN and is known for her charitable works through the Inspired by SHE, which supports young girls, women in society. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
