起死回生的解藥/The Elixir of Revival | 王孜詠 Wang Tzu-Yung | TEDxMingdao HS Youth
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 pressure into motivation and loneliness into self-reflection. This journey taught me that challenges change the moment we change our perspective. More than saluting or sailing, it was the beginning of learning how to face life with a positive and resilient mindset.我是王孜詠,一個對世界什麼都好奇、三分鐘熱度,但熱到會衝去美國軍校的人。身邊的人常形容我跳痛、叛逆、固執,因為只要有人說「你不要這樣做」,我大概就會立刻去試試看。從國樂玩到鐵人三項,再突然飛去軍校,大家都在問我:「你到底想幹嘛?」
老實說,我也不知道,反正就順其自然吧!這就是我為我的人生下的定義!去年暑假,在我仔細思考了整整三秒後,我和朋友決定在畢業隔天飛去美國軍校夏令營。結果,才剛到不到三小時,我們就開始偷偷製作逃跑計畫。
這場演講,我想和你們分享的不是我有多堅強,而是我怎麼在一個如此崩潰的環境裡,學會轉念、撐下去,最後笑著完成六週,然後——不捨地大哭著回到台灣。I’m Tzu-Yung Wang — endlessly curious, easily fascinated, and stubborn enough to go to a U.S. military academy just because someone told me not to. From traditional Chinese music to triathlons, then suddenly military training, people often ask me: “What are you trying to do?” Honestly, I don’t know — I just go with the flow.
Last summer, my friend and I joined a U.S. military academy summer program. Within hours, we were secretly planning our escape. Through this experience, I learned how to shift my mindset, persevere in a tough environment, and ultimately finish the six weeks smiling — even if I cried leaving.

- 16:54La batalla invisible: Ciencia, humanidad y esperanza | Felipe Couñago | TEDxAlbaceteSin duda los avances tecnológicos en medicina y en particular en oncología, nos han permitido diagnosticar antes, tratar mejor y vivir más. Sin embargo, a veces olvidamos que detrás de cada innovación debe seguir estando la persona. En esta charla reflexiono sobre cómo el éxito profesional y la excelencia técnica no siempre van de la mano del sentido, y sobre la necesidad de redefinir qué entendemos por éxito cuando trabajamos con pacientes, enfermedad y vida real.

- 11:54Born from Grit, Raising with Grace | Simran Rai | TEDxNHVPS YouthStory of a journey standing as a testament to the power of opportunity from Sarvam Shakti foundation, and inner strength. With grit and grace, she shows that girls from underserved communities can rise into confident leaders, given the right support. She reminds us to see them not as charity cases, but as “Shaktis”, bearers of strength, capable of uplifting entire communities. Necessary approvals have been obtained by the foundation. Simran grew up watching her father work long, exhausting days as a daily wage earner. Life around her was chaotic and filled with the pressure of survival, yet her father held one unwavering belief that his daughter deserved a chance to learn and grow beyond what society expected of her. That chance arrived through Sarvam Shakti. There, Simran entered a world of movement, discipline, health, confidence, and expression. Dance, yoga, nutrition, and self-awareness became tools that helped her shed the labels of “marginalised” or “disadvantaged,” and rewrite the story society had written for her. Today, she speaks about the power of opportunity; not charity or sympathy, but true opportunity that sees a girl for who she can become. Simran reminds us that compassion and curiosity exist in every child, regardless of background. All they need is someone to notice, believe, and give that first chance. When they do, girls like Simran don’t just rise; but they shine This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
