Stop Asking Me, 'What do You Want to be When You Grow Up?' | Todd Amatayakul | TEDxYouth@ISBangkok

As kids, we’re often asked the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Yet, this is the wrong question to be asking our youths. This Ted Talk proposes a new question - one that empowers youths to think of the person they are, and the things that they can do to create an impact now. Todd Amatayakul is a 17-year-old studying at International School Bangkok. His recent works with entrepreneurial projects in the educational toy field have led to his interest in youth empowerment. Through this newfound passion, he had the opportunity to work with youth in international schools around Bangkok. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thank you Todd. Those two questions are what parents and teachers should ask. Are what children and youths should think about. An enlightening presentation. Thank you again.

If your kid doesn’t say I want to be a good person, their answer ain’t worth anything.
