هیچ مسیری بدون قدم های تو به جلو نرفته است.
زمان رسیدن به مقصد تمام فراز و نشیب های طول راه را به یاد می آوری.
مسیرها می‌توانند ناتمام بمانند،
می‌توانند کوتاه یا بلند باشند.
آنچه مهم است، پستی ها و بلندی ها و چالش هاست.
فراز و نشیب هایی که تجربه منحصر به فرد هر کسی است
که همیشه شنیدنی است.
حتی اگر گاهی مسیرها ما را به دنیای پیش بینی نشده ای ببرند.
ما در تدکس اصفهان 2024 افتخار این را داریم
تا در مسیرهای افرادی قرار بگیریم
که تفاوت‌ها، شباهت‌ها و چالش‌های هرکدام ارزشمند و شنیدنی است.
مسیرها تمام ویژگی های مبدا تا مقصد را در خود جای می دهند.
تو کجای مسیر خود ایستاده ای ؟؟

I am Ahoora Niazi, born in Kermanshah in 1368, and I am currently active in the field of technology in Persian language social networks. Since childhood, I was very interested in making videos and performing on stage, and in 2018 I started my activity on Instagram and YouTube, and this eventually became my current career path. In those years, I was one of the first people active in the field of technology to publish our content on Persian-language social networks, and for this reason, I understood the problems of producing technology content in Iran with my skin and bones. The role model of my life during the years of my career was the character of Forrest in the movie Forrest Gump, who was always focused on one task and did not think about anything else except that task.

Engineer
.

Mohammad Arab

Architect
Born in 1359 in Isfahan, he studied architecture and began his professional career in 1381 with the local consulting engineers' office of Bavand, working on the development plan of historic Isfahan. In 1391, he founded the USE Studio with Mina Moeineddini and has continued his activities in the field of architecture and urban planning to this day. He has always tried to achieve a proper understanding of the conditions that define the context and content of a project, facing various challenges in this field with a critical perspective and a strategic approach. In dealing with many projects, what matters is not just the visible context (physical) or the presented brief (initial program of the project) by the client, but the analysis of the hidden layers of the context, as well as the dialectical relationship between humans and the designed space. How does architecture, over time, impact the states and behaviors of contemporary humans and their daily lives?

For more than a decade, I have been active in the field of empowering damaged women and about 80% of my business and educational infrastructure is at the disposal of empowering women and youth with an entrepreneurship and employment approach. The only time that I feel good and useful, is the time that I am helping others. I feel that my life would be meaningless without helping others and I myself, would grow through this process. I am against the growth of poverty and for this purpose I created an NGO in the direction of creating value and creating decent jobs so that I can attract other people, who are like me, to help others.
