Full Text: What Adults Can Learn from Kids?Now, I want to start with a question:&When was the last time you were called "childish"?&For kids like me,being called childish can be a frequent occurrence.&Every time we make irrational demands,&exhibit irresponsible behavior,&or display any other signs of being normal American citizens,&we are called childish.&Which really bothers me.&After all, take a look at these events:&Imperialism and colonization,world wars, George W. Bush.&Ask yourself, who\'s responsible? Adults.Now, what have kids done?&Well, Anne Frank touched millions&with her powerful account of the Holocaust.&Ruby Bridges helped to end segregation in the United States.&And, most recently,&Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti,&on his little bike.&So as you can see evidenced by such examples,&age has absolutely nothing to do with it.&The traits the word "childish" addresses are seen so often in adults,&that we should abolish this age-discriminatory word,&when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility&and irrational thinking.Thank you.Then again, who\'s to say that certain types of irrational thinking&aren\'t exactly what the world needs?Maybe you\'ve had grand plans before,&but stopped yourself, thinking,&"That\'s impossible," or "That costs too much,"&or "That won\'t benefit me."&For better or worse, we kids aren\'t hampered as much&when it comes to thinking about reasons why not to do things.&Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking,&like my wish that no one went hungry,&or that everything were free, a kind of utopia.How many of you still dream like that, and believe in the possibilities?&Sometimes a knowledge of history and the past failures of Utopian ideals&can be a burden,&because you know that if everything were free,then the food stocks would become depleted and scarce and lead to chaos.&On the other hand, we kids still dream about perfection.&And that\'s a good thing, because in order to make anything a reality,&you have to dream about it first.In many ways, our audacity to imagine&helps push the boundaries of possibility.&For instance, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington,&my home state -- yoohoo, Washington!has a program called Kids Design Glass,&and kids draw their own ideas for glass art.&The resident artist said they got some of their best ideas&from the program, because kids don\'t think about the limitations&of how hard it can be to blow glass into certain shapes,&they just think of good ideas.&Now, when you think of glass, you might think of colorful Chihuly designs,&or maybe Italian vases,&but kids challenge glass artists to go beyond that,&into the realm of brokenhearted snakes&and bacon boys, who you can see has meat vision.Now, our inherent wisdom doesn\'t have to be insider\'s knowledge.&Kids already do a lot of learning from adults,&and we have a lot to share.&I think that adults should start learning from kids.&Now, I do most of my speaking&in front of an education crowd -- teachers and students,&and I like this analogy:&It shouldn\'t be a teacher at the head of the class,&telling students, "Do this, do that."&The students should teach their teachers.&Learning between grown-ups and kids should be reciprocal.&The reality, unfortunately, is a little different,&and it has a lot to do with trust, or a lack of it.Now, if you don\'t trust someone, you place restrictions on them, right?&If I doubt my older sister\'s ability to pay back the 10 percent interest&I established on her last loan,&I\'m going to withhold her ability to get more money from me,&until she pays it back.True story, by the way.&Now, adults seem to have&a prevalently restrictive attitude towards kids,&from every "Don\'t do that, don\'t do this" in the school handbook,&to restrictions on school Internet use.&As history points out, regimes become oppressive&when they\'re fearful about keeping control.&And although adults may not be quite at the level&of totalitarian regimes,&kids have no or very little say in making the rules,&when really, the attitude should be reciprocal,&meaning that the adult population should learn&and take into account the wishes of the younger population.Now, what\'s even worse than restriction,&is that adults often underestimate kids\' abilities.&We love challenges, but when expectations are low,&trust me, we will sink to them.&My own parents had anything but low expectations&for me and my sister.&Okay, so they didn\'t tell us to become doctors or lawyers or anything like that,&but my dad did read to us about Aristotle and pioneer germ-fighters,&when lots of other kids were hearing&"The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round."&Well, we heard that one too, but "Pioneer Germ Fighters" totally rules.I loved to write from the age of four, and when I was six,&my mom bought me my own laptop equipped with Microsoft Word.&Thank you, Bill Gates, and thank you, Ma.&I wrote over 300 short stories on that little laptop,&and I wanted to get published.&Instead of just scoffing at this heresy that a kid wanted to get published,&or saying wait until you\'re older,&my parents were really supportive.&Many publishers were not quite so encouraging.&One large children\'s publisher ironically said&that they didn\'t work with children.Children\'s publisher not working with children?&I don\'t know, you\'re kind of alienating a large client there.One publisher, Action Publishing, was willing to take that leap and trust me,&and to listen to what I had to say.&They published my first book, "Flying Fingers," you see it here.&And from there on, it\'s gone to speaking at hundreds of schools,&keynoting to thousands of educators,&and finally, today, speaking to you.I appreciate your attention today,&because to show that you truly care, you listen.&But there\'s a problem with this rosy picture&of kids being so much better than adults.&Kids grow up and become adults just like you.Or just like you? Really?&The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult,&but rather, better adults than you have been,&which may be a little challenging, considering your guys\' credentials.But the way progress happens,&is because new generations and new eras&grow and develop and become better than the previous ones.&It\'s the reason we\'re not in the Dark Ages anymore.&No matter your position or place in life,&it is imperative to create opportunities for children,&so that we can grow up to blow you away.Adults and fellow TEDsters,&you need to listen and learn from kids,&and trust us and expect more from us.You must lend an ear today,&because we are the leaders of tomorrow, which means&we\'re going to take care of you when you\'re old and senile.&No, just kidding.No, really, we are going to be the next generation,&the ones who will bring this world forward.&And in case you don\'t think that this really has meaning for you,&remember that cloning is possible,&and that involves going through childhood again,&in which case you\'ll want to be heard, just like my generation.&Now, the world needs opportunities for new leaders and new ideas.&Kids need opportunities to lead and succeed.Are you ready to make the match?&Because the world\'s problems shouldn\'t be the human family\'s heirloom.Thank you.Thank you. Thank you.英文演讲 |
