TEDxABESEC
"To be, or not to be", our theme for the present edition of TEDxABESEC, delves into the ideas of existentialism, skepticism, and self-worth. This theme represents the tipping of the scales when we weigh our options. One is always heavier than the other. A man is not usually able to make up his mind. As a result of which, he becomes better at thinking about doing things than actually doing them.
