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, then joined a private junior high later on. At first, I learned alongside my mom, figuring out how to self-study while trying hard to shake off those labels. Then, when I stepped into my dream private school, my dad helped me redefine what being “a homeschooler” could mean. This is the story of me and my label — how we fought, made peace, and now walk forward together. Homeschooling isn’t just a system, it’s a skill; a label isn’t only a stigma, it can be a badge.What I hope listeners take away is this: we all carry labels, but we can choose whether they confine us or become a badge that pushes us forward. 我是幼兒園到小六都在家自學，每週回學區小學上幾堂課，國一才開始全日學校生活與體制學習的國二生。我努力適應著，從自學轉換成上學，以前是維持自己節奏自轉，現在是有秩序地加入公轉。From kindergarten through sixth grade, I was homeschooled, attending a few classes each week at my local elementary school. It wasn’t until my first year of junior high that I began a full-time school life within the formal education system. Now, as a second-year student, I’m working hard to adapt — transitioning from self-directed learning to structured schooling. In the past, I spun on my own axis; now, I’m learning to orbit in harmony with others.

In this talk, Sunil Sharma stresses upon remaining grounded in successes, and recovering from failures of life.He relates to a tough lesson he received early in life. A sudden success, and the resulting admiration of well meaning friends had made him complacent and over confident. He lost focus and failed to reach a much bigger goal - clearing the IIT entrance, one of the toughest competition exams in India.He recovered slowly, but made humility and balance the pillars of his life. One should stay away from extremes, especially of ego, followed by other areas of life.Honouring the eternal concept of The Golden Mean by Confucius, he added his humble thoughts of making flexible bands to handle five major areas of life, as we age: health and fitness; relationships; career and finance; personality; and spiritual evolution, ultimately leading to good deeds. He briefly quotes good research works to make the point.He ends on a light note, while reminding to stay away from the blindfolds. An NTSE Scholar and Chemical Engineer from Panjab University.

Olivier has challenged the current pressure and solutions around the health industry and overall ways of living by provoking mindsets rather than artificial add-ons, personalized approach rather than overall success recepies.

This passion for human potential led him to a seven-year career as a sports physiotherapist, helping both elite athletes and ordinary people to recover, progress, and achieve balance.
