演讲者是一个杀人犯，因此在监狱里渡过了20多年的生活，而在监狱里从一个不良青年如何成长为一个可以TED 中的一个演说者？他巨大的转变来源于什么？
1.  great mentors who forced him to look at his life honestly, they forced him to challenge himself about his decision making.
2.  Literature. It shattered every stereotype he had thought about himself.
3.  Family. His father stood by his side with unshakable faith. His amazing wife taught him how to love in a healthy way.

当他愿意为家人改变的那一刻，他开始打开心扉与人交谈分享者故事，他遇到了一些狱友同样和他有着被虐待的童年，进而发展到走进监狱的结局，同时他们也有着同样的渴望得到帮助和理解，wanna turn it around。
监狱不是人生的终点，而是新生活的开始。
浪子回头金不换，他当上了大学老师，在MIT Media Lab参与科研，在university of Michigen 教书，当年昔日的坏人获得脱胎换骨的重生。
Everybody can have a transformation, we need to create the space for that to happen.
请世人多一些包容，因为过去的错误不代表注定了余生
Please be not held hostage to their pasts, where misdeeds and mistakes don't define you for the rest of your life.

谢谢分享，
这世上有一种过错,叫做无法弥补。朋友，错了就错了，过去的就让它过去吧！我们唯一能做的,就是向前看,朝前走。呐,做人呢,最重要的就是开心，懂得放下！渴不渴？干了这碗鸡汤吧！

不错哦！谢谢楼主
