人的潜能如同自然资源，往往深埋地下，不会浮于表面【TED演讲|成长第八辑】

1.Shonda Rhimes 珊达・莱梅斯

演讲：My year of saying yes to everything 《对一切说 “可以” 的一年》

English: Saying yes to the things that scare you changes you. It does not mean you have to accept every opportunity blindly. It means you stop hiding behind fear. Every time you say yes to something that frightens you, you expand the boundaries of who you are. Courage grows with practice.

中文：对令你恐惧的事物说 “可以”，会重塑你。这不代表你要盲目接纳每一个机会，而是不再躲在恐惧背后。每一次你对让自己胆怯的事说可以，你就在拓宽自我的边界。勇气，是靠练习一点点增长的。

2.Ken Robinson 肯・罗宾逊

演讲：Do schools kill creativity? 《学校扼杀创造力吗》

English: Human resources are like natural resources. They are often buried deep. You don’t find them on the surface. You have to go looking for them. Creativity is as important as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status. Growth means honouring diverse ways of thinking, not forcing everyone into one single mould.

中文：人的潜能如同自然资源，往往深埋地下，不会浮于表面，需要我们主动去发掘。创造力和读写能力同等重要，我们应当给予它同等地位。成长意味着尊重多元的思考方式，而非把所有人塞进同一个模子。

3.Chris Hadfield 克里斯・哈德菲尔德

演讲：What I learned from going blind in space 《太空失明教会我的事》

English: You do not become competent overnight. Mastery comes from thousands of small, ordinary preparations done day after day. Big dreams are built upon countless tiny, unglamorous steps. Growth is not about one heroic moment. It is about steady, consistent work before the moment ever arrives.

中文：能力不会一夜之间就达成。精通来自日复一日成千上万平凡细碎的准备。宏大梦想建立在无数不起眼的微小步伐之上。成长无关某个英雄般的瞬间，而是在高光来临之前，持续稳定地付出。

4.Emilie Wapnick 埃米莉・瓦普尼克 (TEDx)

演讲：Why some of us don’t have one true calling 《为什么我们有些人没有唯一的人生使命》

English: Multipotentialites thrive on learning, exploring and mastering many different fields. You do not have to pick one single passion for your whole life. Your growth can come from the intersections of many interests. There is no single correct path for a meaningful life.

中文：多重潜力者，在学习、探索、掌握不同领域的过程中获得力量。你不必一辈子只选择一种热爱。你的成长，可以来自多种兴趣的交叉融合。通往有意义的人生，不存在唯一正确的道路。

5.Brené Brown 布琳・布朗

演讲：The call to courage 《勇气的召唤》

English: Growth does not happen when we stay comfortable and protected. It happens when we dare to show up imperfectly. We cannot avoid shame, disappointment or hurt. But we can learn how to hold those hard feelings and keep moving forward anyway.

中文：成长不会发生在安逸与被庇护的环境中，而是当我们敢于带着不完美勇敢现身的时候。我们无法避开羞愧、失望与伤痛，但我们可以学会接纳这些艰难情绪，依旧继续前行。

6.Charly Haversat 查莉・哈弗萨特 (TEDx)

演讲：Stop chasing perfection 《停止追逐完美》

English: Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to do your best. Perfectionism is the belief that if you look flawless, you can avoid pain and criticism. But it blocks growth. Progress requires mistakes, messy attempts and things that do not turn out well.

中文：完美主义不等于竭尽全力做到最好。完美主义是一种信念：只要自己看起来毫无瑕疵，就能避开痛苦与批评。但它会阻碍成长。进步离不开犯错、不完美的尝试，以及那些不尽人意的结果。

7.Luvvie Ajayi Jones 卢维・阿贾伊・琼斯

演讲：Get comfortable with being uncomfortable 《学会拥抱不适感》

English: There is great power in speaking your truth, even when your voice shakes. Growth lives outside of what feels safe. You will not always have all the answers before you begin. You learn as you go, and you build confidence through taking action.

中文：即便声音颤抖，敢于说出真实想法，本身就拥有巨大力量。成长存在于安全感之外。开始行动之前，你未必总能掌握全部答案。边走边学，在行动中建立自信。

8.Sirena Huang 黄凯盈 (TEDx)

演讲：The power of curiosity 《好奇心的力量》

English: Curiosity fuels lifelong growth. It is not about being the smartest person in the room. It is about asking questions, being willing to admit what you do not know, and staying open to new ideas. When you lose curiosity, your growth stops.

中文：好奇心驱动人终身成长。它不在于成为群体里最聪明的人，而是愿意提问，坦然承认自己的无知，乐于接纳新想法。一旦失去好奇心，成长便就此停滞。
