Reshma Saujani: Teach girls bravery, not perfection (script)

Summary

All girls must have experienced that they're afraid to raise their hand during the class, and they're afraid to ask questions. It is because they didn't want to be the only one who didn't understand or the only one who was struggling. They show nothing that they did if they felt that it wasn't perfect or if it's a little difference. They don't have mistakes and they're not wrong. This is the result of what most girls are taught in avoiding risk and failure. Then they quickly give up in doing something. They can't have a little courage. If girls and women have even a little courage, and if they can believe that it's okay to be with imperfections then they can build awesome things. In building a better world, it's necessary to teach them to be comfortable with imperfection and we have to help in doing it.
This time, I knew that it's good to accept with imperfections. With courage, I want to try what I want to do.
