A Life Changing Superpower: Words. | Sisy Chen & Tingjen Hsieh | TEDxTaipeiAmericanSchool

The power of words as a tool of harm or encouragement Did you know that Sisy and Tingjen are cousins!? They met in middle school while performing at the end of the year BBQ. They enjoy eating together, having late night chats, and performing music of all genres - music runs in the family! The two of them agree with Queen B when she says, “Your self-worth is determined by you. You don’t have to depend on someone telling you who you are.” Tingjen and Sisy have noticed that stereotypes and peer pressure greatly affects the self esteem of teenagers. They believe that although self confidence is often stressed in media, it is crucial for us to not confuse artificial confidence with true confidence. There is more than one way to find your true confidence, and Tingjen and Sisy would like to initiate a shift in our view of morale and guide the community in the direction of finding beauty in their true colors.
