TED talks, do you listen?

Some kind person.....
I can't remember who, sent me a link to a TED talk
and I have been hooked ever since.
There are hundreds of talks on myriad of subjects
and I easily get lost moving from one talk to another.
Each talk is 18 minutes or less,
though there seem to be more and more 5 minute talks.

I have learned so many wonderful things
and been spurred to imagine so much more
as I see people explore, work and play with life
as it is and life as it could be.

I thought having a thread to share some of our favorites might be fun!

Here is the link to the main page: http://www.ted.com/

If you find something you would like to share please post it!
I can hardly wait to see delights, encourages and inspires you!

I watched this one yesterday. I think it speaks to so much but about the importance of being out so there is not a single story of what gay is, but many, many stories.
For those of us at the Reunion last year, do you remember what meeting all of us did for Mary who had no story of what and who we are?

i LOVE the TED talks! I recently watched the one on the artist that curated a show of 200 different artists with different mediums, but the trick was that it was actually him who created it all.

I also like the one about tying shoes, and the one about making mistakes where the lady tells the story about the "ancient chinese symbol".

I found the shoe tying talk, it was great!

I really enjoyed this one, too

I love Ted.Com.

Last thing I watched was this http://on.ted.com/Saks
for a class on the social context of mental health and illness.

Elyn Saks is an intelligent, remarkable woman!
