【TED英语演讲稿带翻译】今天，我想和大家分享一个关于“如何改变自己”的故事。这并不是一个关于成功的故事，而是一个关于失败、反思和重新开始的故事。
我曾经是一个非常焦虑的人。每天早上醒来，我都会想：“今天我能不能做得更好？”我总是对自己要求极高，但结果却常常不如预期。我不断努力，却总觉得不够好。直到有一天，我意识到一个问题：我不是在追求进步，而是在逃避失败。
那是一个普通的下午，我在图书馆里读一本书，书的作者是一位心理学家。他提到一个概念：“成长型思维”（growth mindset）。他说，真正强大的人不是那些从不犯错的人，而是那些从错误中学习并继续前进的人。这句话让我深受触动。
于是，我开始尝试改变自己的思维方式。我不再把失败看作是终点，而是看作一个学习的机会。我开始记录每天的成就，无论多么微小。比如：“今天我早起了。”“今天我完成了任务。”这些小小的胜利让我逐渐建立起自信。
与此同时，我也开始关注自己的情绪。我不再压抑自己的负面情绪，而是学会与它们共处。我开始练习冥想，写日记，甚至和朋友倾诉。这些方法帮助我更好地理解自己，也让我更愿意接受自己的不完美。
慢慢地，我发现，当我不再执着于“必须做到最好”，我的表现反而越来越好。我不再害怕失败，因为我明白，每一次失败都是通往成功的一步。
最后，我想说的是：改变自己并不意味着要变得完美，而是要学会接纳自己，勇敢面对挑战，并不断前行。希望你们也能找到属于自己的方式，在生活中找到真正的力量。

"TED English Speech with Translation"
Today, I want to share a story about "how to change yourself." This is not a story about success, but rather one about failure, reflection, and starting over.
I used to be very anxious. Every morning when I woke up, I would think, "Can I do better today?" I always set high expectations for myself, but the results were often disappointing. I kept trying, yet I always felt like I wasn't good enough. Until one day, I realized a problem: I wasn't chasing progress—I was avoiding failure.
It was a normal afternoon when I was in the library reading a book. The author was a psychologist. He mentioned a concept called "growth mindset." He said that truly strong people are not those who never make mistakes, but those who learn from their errors and keep moving forward. That sentence deeply touched me.
So, I began to change my way of thinking. I no longer saw failure as an end, but as an opportunity to learn. I started recording my daily achievements, no matter how small. For example: "Today I woke up early." "Today I finished my task." These little victories gradually built my confidence.
At the same time, I also began to pay attention to my emotions. I no longer suppressed my negative feelings, but learned to coexist with them. I started meditating, keeping a journal, and even talking to friends. These methods helped me understand myself better and made me more willing to accept my imperfections.
Gradually, I found that when I stopped focusing on "having to be the best," my performance actually improved. I no longer feared failure because I understood that every failure was a step toward success.
Finally, I want to say: Changing yourself doesn't mean becoming perfect. It means learning to accept yourself, facing challenges bravely, and moving forward constantly. I hope you can find your own way to find real strength in life.
