The theme for this year’s TEDxMcGill event is “Ripples”.

Ripples are the waves or disturbances that spread out

from the point where a droplet hits the water. The ripple

effect is similar, where a small action or event causes a

series of effects or consequences that gradually spread

out and influence other areas or situations, much like

how the ripples expand across the surface of the water.

Will the droplet follow a predetermined path? Will you?

Perhaps there are events or opportunities that would

never have occurred if it weren't for that initial droplet.

Sometimes, small actions or choices set off a chain of

events that lead to unexpected outcomes.
