When Confidence Becomes Autopilot | Mila Wen | TEDxArbutus Ridge Youth

“What happens when confidence becomes overconfidence?” Through a personal experience of making mistakes while handling her contact lenses, Mila Wen explores how becoming too familiar with a task can lead us to overlook important details. As she reminds us, “Practice builds confidence, but confidence should never replace attention.” Hello everyone, my name is Mila, and I have hobbies I really enjoy, such as playing the piano, badminton, reading, skiing, and building Lego. After a tiring day, I like to relax with books, and skiing downhill at high speed always feels like a thrilling adventure to me. At school, I am one of the leaders to young children. Twice a week, I guide my small buddies through different activities and enjoy the time I spend with them. 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
