Understanding Rejection | Mikhayla Leandra Krisbayu | TEDxSanta Laurensia HS Alam Sutera

Why can the same idea be considered brilliant by one person and absurd by another? In this talk, Mikhayla explores how education, social background, personal beliefs, and communication shape the way people perceive ideas. Rejection is not always a sign of weakness in the idea itself—it often reflects the perspective of the audience hearing it. Mikhayla is a student with a strong curiosity for ideas, whether they come from technology, philosophy, or everyday life. She enjoys expressing herself by combining her interests in writing, coding, and journalism to share her thoughts and perspectives with others. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
