Author Video Description
Jasper，一位勇敢地拥抱公众的眼光、做自己生活中的主角的年轻人。作为我们大家从小看着长大的“小小春”，从过去的电视节目《爸爸去哪儿5》到如今的TEDx演讲舞台，Jasper通过自己的努力一步一步锻炼着自己，不断尝试着新事物，在行动中平衡着“从小出名”所带来的身份认同矛盾感。“生活就像一场采访”，在人生旅途中，我们从一次次经历中学习，逐渐适应如何平衡聚光灯打在身上的感觉。我们不仅仅是参与者，我们是“明星”、是讲故事的人、是每个场景的灵魂，让我们将这种“特殊”变为一种力量，书写我们自己的故事，导演我们自己的人生，在自己的聚光灯下闪亮。 Normally, people call him Jasper. Yes, his parents are famous, but thanks to Jasper’s own efforts, now…he can drive with his mom and dad! Jasper grew up in the “love but not spoil” discipline of his parents. From Hong Kong to Shanghai, just a few years of school age, he experienced two completely different learning environments. However, thanks to his happy and optimistic personality, Jasper now enjoys “seamless integration and happy learning”. He has also been exposed to tennis, golf, violin, piano… No matter how the score is estimated, it is said that”Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it”so now there is a new attempt——”speech”. Looking forward to more attempts in the future, please advise! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
