articificial intelligence AI | Dongoh (Daniel) Han | TEDxYouth@VISAnseong

In this essay, Dongoh Han explores the nuanced relationship between education and success, drawing on examples ranging from individuals like Andrew Tate, who achieved success despite a lack of formal education, to figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who attained triumph through knowledge acquisition. He contends that while education undoubtedly plays a significant role in personal development and societal advancement, success is ultimately subjective and multifaceted, shaped by individual values, experiences, and aspirations. Using examples such as Lionel Messi's rejection of a lucrative offer in pursuit of personal happiness and Lady Gaga's investment in creative endeavors, He also illustrates how success can diverge from traditional metrics like wealth or fame. Reflecting on personal experiences and cultural influences, Dongoh Han acknowledges the pressure placed on students to excel academically but challenges the notion that education alone guarantees fulfillment and achievement of personal goals. Instead, he advocates for a broader perspective on success that encompasses diverse aspirations and paths, suggesting that while education may serve as a guide, true triumph lies in forging one's unique journey. Dongoh Han, who is a Junior studying at Valor International Scholars, thought that education became obsolete since artificial intelligence like Chat GPT is impeccable and valiant. His experiences as a student changed his perspective and how he began to think about life. Through his encounters, his constant curiosity sparks his motivation to know himself more and research the things life can offer.
