What Does Your Heart Beat For? | Edelbert Claudio | TEDxYouth@SHC


Translated by: Mohamed Elamgad Checker: Riyad Almubarak

The human heart is simple, but elegant in its construction

Its size is about the size of the hand grip

It breathes life into each of us

Through his four rooms, and his bloody courses,

Not only do we breathe and move, we learn, we inspire and we love too

And I also like studying the human body very much

From its molecular levels to its basic movements and functions,

There is something special about the human heart

It makes me feel terrified

Now, I would say that the first person

I was intrigued and wanted to try this

My mother,

Registered nurse

Every day, I would like to ask her, “How was your day at work?”

I always learn something new or listen to exciting stories

Only through this question

But our conversations were not limited to physiology and anatomy

And on the contrary, being a curious child, from my endless questions

Led us to all kinds of discussions about the human body,

We were looking together for the meaning of being alive

We went deeper and wondered what it meant to be human

And my favorite conversation

Which reshaped my concept and thought about the human body

It was when I explained the secret behind our heartbeat

Now I want you to breathe a long, deep breath with me

(Breathing)

Come on

And now do not leave him

Put your hands on your breasts

And they brought him out slowly

Do you feel the blows?

Well, funny information:

Your heart will beat more than three billion times throughout your life

And…

Now, what’s the distinct thing about it?

Now we know that the source of our life stems from the heartbeat

But you know what the thing is

Who gives life to your heartbeat?

It is the atrial sinus node,

It is the tiny tissue inside the heart that ignites a series of electrical pulses

In order for muscle contractions to occur inside your heart,

Making the blood pump regularly inside and outside

Usually, do not hear the voice of it

Because we focus more on the speed of heart beat and blood pressure,

But maybe you can remember those lines you might see in the hospital

Which moves up and down so

In the hospital screen which is known as electrocardiography

Used by nurses and doctors

In order to track the electrical energy generated by the atrial sinus node

Lack of electrical power means no life

This is when the line is straight

Now,

Since we know that the sinus node atria strengthens our lives,

What does it mean to be human?

The American psychologist (Rollo Mai) once said that the essence of humanity

Is that at the short moment we are present in this planet is always rotating

We love some people and some things

Despite the fact that time and death will eventually befall us all

What is substance?

From a philosophical point of view,

Is the attribute or attribute set

Which constitutes the character of the individual or thing

Without it, substance will lose its identity

In other words,

Our personal essence is the thing that makes us what we are

And gives us a reason to stay alive

So what is your essence?

I thought of two categories in human life that define the human essence

The first is passion

Something you can not live without

Something you wake up for every morning

Something you believe in strongly

Change in the world you want to bring about

And even small things in life that bring you happiness,

Your favorite hobbies, your skills and your unique talents

And your professional life

The second is inspiration

The people you live for

People that enter your life

They feel happy, love, and give you a reason to continue fighting

Your dreams, goals, and values ​​are things that give you substance

Since we are human beings with hearts, we all have those things

The heart beats constantly throughout our lives

This is a constant reminder of what our essence is

When you change your perspective and look inside,

And literally listen to your heart, and feel those blows,

This will certainly make you see what you live for abroad

Essence gives meaning to your heartbeat

Today, we live in a world where we simply live

With characters, backgrounds,

Skin colors, creeds, and different values

So we forgot that there is something we all share is the heart

Each of us has his personal essence, things we care about,

We all have those hearts that pulse by the sinus node

Two entirely different perspectives

The first is philosophical, the second physiological

Two entirely different perspectives, but two perspectives that I like to study

We can put them together

This will not only help us live a more effective life,

But will also help us to recognize

We actually do not differ much from each other

We have seven billion hearts at the same time and each has its own speed

On the surface of the planet

Our hearts are precious, beautiful, and fragile

But their hits are strong

That is why I love to hear the sound of my heart beating

Because that does not help me understand

How complex and complex our bodies are,

But also reminds me of what my heart beats for it and who is beating for it

Thank you very much

(clap)
