Happy Monday everyone! Hope it’s been a good weekend and you’re feeling positive about the next week!
Today I wanted to give you a bit more freedom on what you wanted to see today. I realise that some of you need a bit more positivity than others, some of you want to think more… and I don’t want to talk about the same things over and over, like I told you last time. So today, I want YOU to choose your own video. From this website:
Yeah, I know not posting up an actual video might make some controversy between the handful of you that I know read this – but I said I wanted to show you a variety of things on the internet, and I seriously believe this website could be bookmarked on everyone’s browser.
It says it all in the tagline: TED is about “ideas worth spreading”. The website has a database of over 700 speeches and conferences about a variety of things, including science, culture and entertainment, and you’ve had some pretty prolific people take part in this: Richard Dawkins, Bill Gates, Jane Goldall, as well as some top modern day philosophers and Nobel Prize winners. You can also find videos depending on what you want to get out of it; whether you want something funny, inspiring, or just to make you smile and see how beautiful things are.
Now, I don’t ask much from you guys usually; however, this time I want you to do a little bit more than to just read and watch. I want you to find a video on this website, and I want you to tell me about it. Why you chose it, why you like it, and if you think I should use it on a post sometime in the future. Basically, I want you to choose your own inspiration today, and let me know about it.
And seriously guys, bookmark it. This is really going to be one of those websites that you’re not going to want to forget about. I found it months ago, and it’s taken me a fair bit of the weekend to find it again. Well, to find it and watch a bunch of videos…
Let me know what you find!
: )
PS – in case you just skipped through that whole post because you were only looking for a video, go back and read what I put. Or, be really lazy, and just go here:

ReplyDeleteThis is one of the videos I watched - over an hour long but all of it amazing! It made me want to go off and do something, anything that I've always wanted. Truly inspiring man. If you don't think you have time to watch it - make time, I guarantee it'll be worth it :)
