How I won 12 scholarships worldwide | Siwar Hakim | TEDxDjerba

TEDxDjerba is back in its second edition after the success that the first edition knew in 2014. This year will be having a look back on the old civilisations, how it led us here today and how can we build a better future. They say “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” and we say damn right it does. You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands - your own. No dream is too big. No challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach, 'cause from where we're standing, magic is being made every single day..
