從母親每日攢下的兩塊錢開始，宋怡慧老師擁有了她人生中的第一本百科全書——那不只是一本書，更是她與世界之間的第一次深刻對話。那一刻，她體會到「閱讀」不只是知識的入口，而是改變命運的起點。在演講中，她以溫暖的敘事帶領聽眾重返閱讀的初心，分享如何透過「每日一分鐘閱讀」的行動力，一年之內讀完比爾・蓋茲的荒島書單；更進一步指出，閱讀能帶給人不同的高度與視野，讓我們在文字間練習理解、共感與慷慨。宋老師也將分享許多真實而動人的案例：有學生從閱讀中走出失去與創傷，重新找到力量；也有人因為文字的美而重新愛上生活。她倡議閱讀不應只停留在個人，而是一場「慷慨的分享事件」——當一個人因閱讀而改變，他身邊的世界也將被溫柔點亮。It all began with two dollars her mother saved per day—enough to buy her very first encyclopedia. For Sung Yi-hui, that book was more than a gift; it was her first true conversation with the world. Through it, she discovered that reading is not merely a path to knowledge, but the starting point of transformation.In this talk, Sung shares how daily reading—even just one minute a day—can change a life. She reveals how such small acts can accumulate into great change, enough to finish Bill Gates’s “Desert Island Reading List” within a year. More importantly, she explores how reading broadens our perspective, deepens empathy, and teaches us the art of generosity.Through touching real-life stories, she illustrates how students have healed from loss through books, and how people around her rediscovered beauty in life through the power of words. For Sung, reading is more than a habit—it is a generous act of sharing, a ripple of change that extends from one heart to many. 新北市立丹鳳高中圖書館主任、聯合線上專欄作家、《親子天下》翻轉教育網站駐站作家、新北市立圖書館真人圖書、2019~2023年教育部圖書館事業諮詢委員、文化部第39次線上主題書展策展人、文化部第41、42、45次中小學生讀物選介評審。• Director of the Library, New Taipei Municipal Danfeng High School • Columnist, United Daily News Online • Resident Writer, Parenting Magazine – Flip Education website • Living Book, New Taipei City Library’s Human Library Project • Member, Library Affairs Advisory Committee, Ministry of Education (2019–2023) • Curator, 39th Online Thematic Book Exhibition, Ministry of Culture • Judge for the 41st, 42nd, and 45th Recommended Reading Lists for Primary and Secondary Students, Ministry of Culture This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
