Using the debate topic “Is living like most people the easier path?” as her starting point, Pang Ying examines how the singular standards of society’s value system can quietly confine us. Conforming to the mainstream may feel effortless, but it often traps us in a one-size-fits-all measure of worth—stripping away our right to define life’s meaning for ourselves. She argues that what exhausts us is not survival itself, but the mental weight of meaninglessness and self-limitation. Pang urges her audience to r ...

Do you remember in elementary school when your teacher would have you write a letter to your future self at the beginning of the school year. In fifth grade, I wrote at the end of my letter, "Amelia, I hope you find out who you are." Now, fifth grade Amelia is so different from 14th grade Amelia, but aspects of her and her experience will forever remain in me. She was marked by excessive anxiety that made her miss school often.She became the joke of the class for never being there. She was made fun of by th ...

[Applause] Have you ever felt lonely in a room full of people. Well, I have. And it wasn't because I was actually alone, but because I wasn't being myself.I was wearing something trendy, something that everybody seemed to love except me.

Sometimes the pressure to fit in can make us forget who we really are.And that's what I want to talk ...
