First Impressions Can Mislead: Su Yonghao at TEDxNanshan Salon

Su Yonghao, a civil engineer, world traveler and owner of a café-bar, reflects on how first impressions can give a false sense of understanding. He shares experiences from a trip in India, being defined by the camera on a dating reality show, and noticing the limits of first answers while serving customers at his café. The talk argues that good judgment means allowing for uncertainty and giving answers more time.

• Pausing prejudice during travel in India
• Being defined by the camera on a dating show
• Questioning first answers in everyday life

“第一印象很重要”，但它未必是准确的。 苏咏豪是一名工科男，也是一名环游世界的背包客，更是经营咖啡餐酒吧的创业者。他分享了从印度旅途中暂停偏见的感受，到在恋综节目中被镜头定义的无奈，再到接待咖啡店客人时发现“第一版答案”的局限性。 通过这些故事，他引导我们理解：真正好的判断，不是快速得出答案，而是学会允许“不知道”的可能性。或许，暂停判断，给所有答案多一点时间，才是了解真实的开始。 土木工程师 香港科技大学工学硕士 咖酒主理人 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
