- 11:49Why Do We Compare Ourselves to Others? | Vu Duong Ha Trinh | TEDxThe Dewey Schools THTHà Trinh challenges the notion that comparison is detrimental, proposing it as a catalyst for self-improvement. She shares her experiences of navigating identity and expectations to find personal clarity. "A chameleon soul, a restless seeker, a kaleidoscope of identities—wandering through borrowed dreams and silent expectations, forever caught between who I am and who I’m told to be.I’ve worn many hats, played many roles, and walked many paths—always chasing new ways to define myself, new dreams, challenges, lessons, etc. But no matter where I went, one thing remained: the unspoken scoreboard, the silent measuring tape, the endless “Am I enough?” questions and comparisons.But what if comparison isn’t the enemy? What if it’s a tool, a mirror, a lesson?I’m not here to preach. I’m here to share—real stories, real struggles, real breakthroughs. And if you’re curious about how we can navigate this world without losing ourselves, well... you might just find your answer here.I’m Duong Ha, a shape-shifting dreamer, an 11th grader at Marie Curie Hanoi School, and this is my story."
