微小的总和 Doing our bit
2023 年 8 月 13 日｜August 13, 2023
在描绘历史演进、科学进步和社会发展时，我们常常将卓越的成就归因于某些特定个体。然而，实际推动社会发展的，并不仅仅是某一位伟人的巨大贡献，而更多的是无数人微小但持续的“一点点”努力。
在时隔三载终于回归的 TEDxGuangzhou 大会上，我们将会以「微小的总和 Doing our bit」作为主题，期望深入探索这些微不足道的努力，向所有人展示创造改变并不一定要取得伟大的成就或做出巨大的牺牲。只需做好我们自身的那一点，甚至只是坚守“分内之事”，都能产生深远的影响。
History tends to celebrate the heroes. But real progress—the kind that lasts—often comes from small, steady efforts made by many, not the bold actions of a few.
This year, TEDxGuangzhou returns after a three-year pause with a timely theme: “Doing our bit.” We want to reimagine what impact looks like. You don’t have to be extraordinary to make a difference. Sometimes, just showing up, staying kind, doing your job well—that’s enough. We believe that when small efforts add up, they become the quiet force that moves the world forward.
尽管本次 TEDxGuangzhou 活动已完成筹备，并获得多位讲者与志愿者的热情参与与支持，但最终在广州警方的要求下，活动未能按计划举行。在此背景下，部分讲者愿意将他们原本为现场准备的演讲以录制视频的方式呈现，继续与公众对话，传递他们的观察与思考。
Although TEDxGuangzhou was fully prepared and supported by many passionate speakers and volunteers, the event was ultimately unable to proceed as planned due to a request from the Guangzhou police. In this context, some of the speakers have chosen to present their originally prepared talks in video format, continuing the dialogue with the public and sharing their reflections and insights.
