Our Theme
The Design Of Happiness
Life is made up of raw, fleeting moments that leave lasting imprints on our hearts—a tearful goodbye at an airport, the warmth of holding hands on a cold winter night, or the rush of joy when hearing someone say, “I’m proud of you.” It’s these seemingly small, personal experiences that shape our happiness in ways we often overlook. "The Design of Happiness" is about embracing life intentionally—finding meaning and purpose in everyday moments and crafting joy, one step at a time.Finding happiness begins with the simplest acts: nurturing healthy habits that ground us, reigniting hobbies that once made us feel alive, and carving out time to just be—to breathe, to reflect, to heal. It’s about choosing yourself, even when life feels overwhelming. It’s in the quiet commitment to show up for your well-being, one small, meaningful step at a time.The catalyst to our happiness lies around us. It is imperative to recognize these catalysts and create moments where we are constantly confronted with joy. It varies from the environment we live in, to the people we surround ourselves with, and the thoughts that we bury in our minds.Happiness cannot be achieved unless it is gently crafted into our daily routines. It is the ideology of ignoring the hustle bustle around you and being present in the moments that bring you joy.The power lies within you, in the choices you make and the perspective you hold.Every habit, every deliberate decision you make to try and find happiness for yourself is the design of happiness. Real change rarely comes from grand gestures or sweeping resolutions. Instead, it begins in the small, deliberate shifts—those quiet moments where you choose to do or see things differently. Building a meaningful, fulfilling life is a process of intentional design, rooted in the choices you make every day. Happiness also stems from the narratives we create about our lives—the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what matters most. These narratives shape our identities and influence how we perceive the world. When we learn to frame challenges as opportunities for growth or see imperfections as unique markers of our journey, we open ourselves to deeper satisfaction. By consciously crafting a story where small victories are celebrated and setbacks are seen as temporary, we transform how we experience life. The design of happiness is as much about the inner dialogue we nurture as it is about external actions.In this edition of TEDxYouth@HFSInternational, with your guidance, we will explore "The Design of Happiness" from diverse perspectives—ranging from how architecture and surroundings influence well-being, to how intentional daily routines and personal stories shape a fulfilling life. Together, we will discover how thoughtful design can transform not just our homes or environments, but also our inner worlds.
