Service means something different to everyone. What does it mean to you? Zac Huss shares his own perspective on service and challenges the audience to think about what it truly means to them. My name is Zahary Huss. At 17, I aspire to attend the Air Force Academy to push to my skills in the field of leadership to better serve others as we collectively serve our country. I love having the chance to challenge myself and others to see where our limits are and where they could be both individually and collectively. I have a rather artistic and creative view of my free time. Investing time into a dedicated wood carving in memory of my great grandfather, for example, is no exception.
I believe that the only way to better one’s self is to focus on their own moral character by pushing the shining qualities we possess, while rather than pushing away from our lesser qualities, acknowledging them and seeking to find where they fit in our life.
There is value in the best and in the worst things in life. It is up to us to decide what belongs where and to sort through the chaos we all endure. That is what forges the better part of ourselves from where we have already fought to be. 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
