Perfectionism; the double-edged sword | Eva Liu | TEDxAshburyCollege

Eva Liu shares her perspective on the quality of perfectionism, comparing it to a double-edged sword that is dependent on the wielder. Her talk describes how perfectionists such as herself will often "colour outside the lines" to achieve their standards and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of such a mindset. Meet Eva Liu, a grade 7 student at Ashbury College. Unlike many others, she likes to do public speaking. Eva has always been a somewhat bossy child in her childhood and there's no surprise that she continues to be a leader in her middle school years. Throughout her years at Ashbury, Eva has won many awards for English, French and the Overall Grade Award. Eva and her family are big sports fans. Eva is a highly competitive fencer and a figure skater. She has gone to provincial fencing competitions where she ranked 5th and is qualifying for the 2022 Nationals. In her free time, Eva likes reading books and finishing them (no matter how long they are) in the same day. She also likes writing articles. Giving speeches is a strong passion of Eva. She has always liked to give inspiring speeches to her friends and parents. Eva's life may seem like a crazy tumble of homework, sports and literature all mixed together, but she often likes to spend time reflecting on how she is living her life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
