我的故事不是關於站上多少次舞台，而是關於在一次次挫折後，仍願意再次踏上台前。從英語演講的失利、戲劇試鏡的落選，到重新點燃熱情，我學到：舞台不屬於最完美的人，而是屬於勇於面對不完美的人。 如今，我把握每一次展示自我的機會——無論是午間論壇、OPEN MIC、藍色動感樂團旗隊演出，甚至走上美國議會的講台。我希望讓聽眾知道：你不需要等待準備好才開始。當你選擇專注當下、忠於熱情，每一次登台都是你成為更堅定自己的轉折點。 My story isn’t about how many times I’ve been on stage—it’s about choosing to step back onto it after every setback. From speech contest failures to missed drama auditions, I learned that the stage doesn’t belong to those who are flawless. It belongs to those who are brave enough to stand there despite ...

這場 TED 分享的不是一段單純的軍校夏令營經驗，而是一段「思維翻轉」帶來的成長歷程。六週的美國軍校生活，從嚴格紀律到文化衝擊，都曾讓我感到挫折與懷疑。但在夥伴支持與自我調整下，我開始學會轉念：讓壓力成為推力，讓孤單變成與自己對話的契機。這段旅程讓我明白——當你改變看事情的方式，挑戰也會隨之轉化。真正的收穫，不只是技能，而是學會用正向心態面對人生。 This TED talk isn’t just about a six-week summer camp at a U.S. military academy—it's about how a shift in mindset can transform a difficult experience into personal growth. The strict discipline and cultural differences once left me discouraged, but with support from friends and a willingness to reframe my thoughts, I learned to turn ...

當世界都說「要正向一點啊」、「別想太多啦」的時候，我其實正在經歷一種說不出口的痛——那種你也許懂：人很多，卻好像沒有誰真的看見你。 我是朱庭誼，這場演講不是勵志故事，也沒有奇蹟般的轉折，而是一段關於疼痛、懷疑、誠實與修復的歷程。 我們並不孤單，也都能一步一步，走出自己的節奏與方向。 這場演講，是我寫給過去的一封回信，也是一束微光，獻給仍在痛裡努力前行的你。 When the world kept saying, “Stay positive” or “Don’t overthink it,” I was quietly going through a kind of pain I couldn’t quite name — the kind you might know too: being surrounded by people, yet feeling completely unseen. I’m Ting-Yi Chu. This talk isn’t a success story, nor one with a magical turning point. It’s a journey throu ...

在氣候危機日益嚴峻的時代，我們需要「正行」。從正視問題開始，專注共好的價值，讓利他行動點燃永續。我將分享個人轉職的心路歷程，以及從國際氣候會議參與到推動淨零轉型的實際經驗，說明如何透過行動，讓青年、女性和社會脆弱群體的聲音被聽見，最終轉化為具體的公正轉型方案。我相信，在氣候危機中，每一個正直的行動，都是改變未來的力量。 The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our time. It demands more than awareness — it calls for righteous action. To act righteously is to face the truth, to choose the path of integrity, and to work for the common good, even when the road ahead is uncertain. My journey took me from international climate conferences to community-driven initi ...

「到底什麼比分數重要？」這是一個值得台灣中學教育深思的問題。長久以來，社會深受傳統士大夫觀念影響，認為「萬般皆下品，唯有讀書高」，學生往往被分數和排名框住，忽略了潛能、天賦與人性的多元面向。二十五年來，我在明道不斷鼓勵學生超越考試思維，探索自我價值，並培養關心人與自己、人與他人、人與社會的能力。我們也重視合作、溝通、創造力與批判思考，因為這些才是面對未來不可或缺的能力。尤其在 AI 已經超越人類智能的時代，中學教育更應強化人類智慧，幫助學生善用科技，成為自律反思的自主學習者，進而邁向終身學習。比分數更重要的，正是要能在未來世界成為有價值且有幸福感的人。 What truly matters beyond grades? This is a pressing question for education in Taiwan today. For too long, our society has been shaped by the traditional belief that academic achievement is the sole path to success, where students a ...

我是柯昱丞，一個對世界充滿好奇、渴望跨文化交流的青年。我參與了政府的「青年百億海外圓夢基金計畫」，經過書面申請與面試後，很榮幸代表臺灣前往美國費城。那裡，我們與當地青年深度交流，拜訪多個重要機構與政要，甚至舉辦了費城史上第一場「臺灣之夜」。 這段旅程讓我深刻明白：勇敢做夢並踏出第一步，就可能改變自己、也改變世界。我希望透過分享，讓更多人相信——夢想不是遙不可及，而是從你願意開始的那一刻展開。 I’m Ko Yu-Cheng, someone driven by curiosity and a passion for cross-cultural connection. Through Taiwan’s Global Pathfinders Initiative, I was selected to represent youth in Philadelphia after completing the written application and interview process. There, we engaged with local young leaders, visited key instit ...

在家自學，也就是是正式申請個人實驗教育。人數極少的自學生，相對於體制內的主流多數學生，很神秘，也常被貼標籤。小學在家自學，國中才回到體制私中的我，先跟著媽媽摸索如何自學，同時也努力對抗、掙脫標籤；接著來到夢想中的私中適應體制學習，改由爸爸陪著重定義自學標籤。這是一段我和自學標籤如何相處的故事：我和標籤在衝突後和解，現在，正努力學著與他攜手並進。自學是形式，更是能力；標籤是印記，也可以是LOGO！我希望聽者從我的故事看見：每個人都有被貼標籤的時候，但我們可以選擇讓它限制自己，或讓它成為前進的徽章。 Homeschooling — officially known as applying for Individual Experimental Education — is rare. With so few of us compared to the crowds in traditional schools, homeschoolers often seem mysterious and easy to label. I was homeschooled through elementary school, t ...

Main Argument - The core argument is that society is becoming increasingly desensitized to disinformation, leading to a dangerous indifference that erodes ethical standards and harms society [2][5][6][10] - The speaker advocates for proactive measures, specifically "weird checking," to combat disinformation by challenging the social norm of accepting lies [28][30] Problem Definition - Disinformation, defined as intentionally deceptive false information, is distinct from misinformation, which is unintentional [11][13] - The speaker highlights the phenomenon of "deception fatigue," where repeated exposure to dishonesty diminishes emotional and moral responses [20] - Disinformation has significant real-world consequences, including contributing to preventable deaths (e g, 330,000+ deaths during the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa), fueling distrust in election results, and costing the global economy an estimated $78 billion USD annually [8][9] Proposed Solution - "Weird checking" is introduced as a method to counteract disinformation by questioning the normality of spreading fake news, thereby influencing social norms [28][29] - Individuals are encouraged to actively resist disinformation by calling out those who spread it, reinforcing the idea that such behavior is socially unacceptable [30][31] Social Norms and Behavior - Social norms significantly influence human behavior, and the normalization of dishonesty creates a dangerous feedback loop [23][26] - The speaker draws a parallel to the shift in social norms around smoking, suggesting that similar changes are possible with disinformation [24][25] Call to Action - The speaker urges individuals to resist passivity and actively condemn dishonesty to preserve their own moral compass and protect society from the harmful effects of disinformation [32][33][35]

[music] [music and applause] Okay. [snorts] Today I'll talk about something we all carry but rarely notice. the invisible bands of life that shape who we are.When I was in class 10, I was in a good equivalable mode. Caring parents had put me in a great school with brilliant batchmates and fine friends. I was doing well in studies and extracurriculars.Suddenly, a quantum jump happened. A big success which was a disaster in disguise. Have you ever been deceived by a Ureka moment that turned out to be a nightm ...

Just by the show of hands, do you believe that no one is really disadvantaged. No one is disadvantaged. Some people are disadvantaged.H interesting. But you see, if no one is truly disadvantaged like the topic says, how do we explain poverty. And what about people that were born with impaired hearing.And this is speaking to those that said that no one is really disadvantaged. People with impaired sight, malformed limbs. How can someone thrive when life actually seems unfair.Is that not a disadvantage and in ...
