Life in eyes of stoicism | Marek Rudnik | TEDxYouth@2SLO

Stoicism is an exciting and haunting philosophy that can be implemented into daily life to make it more meaningful. Stoicism's unique and timeless character pretends to be a potential solution to the problems and issues We all face, including lack of discipline, complaining or worrying about what is not within our control. In my speech, I will outline the importance of gratitude, positive thoughts, the significance of the present moment, calmness, and attitude for the Stoic mindset. Hi, I am Marek Rudnik, a 2slo IB student. I became interested in Stoicism last school year during Spirit Week. During the spirit week, We had a casual discussion with our IB coordinator, Tomasz Mazur. We accidentally tiptoed onto a stage of philosophical matters and Stoicism. After the discussion, I decided to learn more about it. My enthusiasm deepened when I listened to one of the episodes of the podcast “Ze stoicism spokojem” by Tomasz Mazur. That was the pivotal point that convinced me to fully immerse myself in exploring it. Therefore, I would like to discuss Stoicism, emphasising its principles and fundamental values and share a few stoic lessons with You. 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
