The virtue of giving - and receiving help | Asel Diushenova | TEDxAUCA

Self-development evangelist, blogger, and influencer Asel Diushenova uses her platforms to encourage others to let the best of themselves out while appreciating that weakness can also be strength. Given the chance to reflect openly, Asel emphasizes the power of accepting your imperfections and simply being there for others. Hailing from Bishkek, Asel Diushenova has always been hungry for more knowledge. At 19 and feeling like that guy in Paulo Coehlo’s novel ‘The Alchemist’, she packed her bags in search of the meaning of life and just...went. But in the midst of adventures across places such the US, England, Moldova, South Korea, Japan, Turkey, and Azerbaijan - and wondering where to find her “treasure”, Asel realized that the whole universe - including her “treasure” and all of the answers she’d been looking for - were inside of her. Wanting to take her passions of seeing the world, meeting new people, and trying new things to the next level, she founded the self-development platform and online community school, Ipdate Me. Simultaneously, Asel harnesses Instagram to share her growth experiences while living abroad, issues that expatriates may face, and ways for her audience to build resilience. She graduated from the International University of Central Asia with a degree in International Relations. 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
