When a family member got diagnosed with cancer, Petra started to think about what is really important to her in life. She decided to think about her "Big Five", the 5 goals she wants to reach in life. In her talk, she not only explains her Big Five and how they helped her to accomplish admirable things, but also urges her audience to find the things that give their life true meaning.
