Last year, I've come to know about TED which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design.It started out as an annual conference that brings the world's greatest thinkers and doers and a community of curious souls together, giving the talks of their lives, spreading ideas. Now those talks are available online to the public, FOR FREE!!
Not that I'm most fascinated with the free stuffs.... I simply admire how TED upholds their mission dearly... the fact that they are serious about playing a huge role in making this world a better place to live in thru the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world.
And the fact that this knowledge is being shared around the world for free.... speaks a lot about TED.
It started out from this fascinating video, Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of Insight, forwarded by a very good friend of mine, Jimmy. Jimm if you are reading this... thank you again.... coz you have been a hugeee part in how I see this world in a more creative sense!! Thank you for being You!! :)
She's a brain researcher who studied her own stroke as it happened. A really amazing story.. on how she can pull a study from her own horrific experience.
She mentioned that "although the stroke damaged the left side of her brain, her recovery unleashed a torrent of creative energy from her right". Worth the watch!!
From watching this video.. comes the next.... and the next....
How I wish the college days lecture talks were as enjoyable as the ones I've watched weekly on TED.
