Have you heard about TED TALKS?

I'm sure you do, it's everywhere. If not yet, you must not decline the opportunity to know him.

Here’s why:

You would see a lot of shared topics about TED spreaded online  but had no idea who is TED?

Well, TED is not a person it is a global conference event that talks about great ideas and profound insight that are worth sharing. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design which has been founded in 1984.

There mission statements begin on this:

                      We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So we're building here a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other.

Here are some of my favorite quotes that struck me from the speakers from TED.

‘The fallacy behind the notion that to achieve happiness, one must get what they want. He uses psychology and neuroscience to explain that what we think makes us happy is, oftentimes, flat out wrong.  

“Natural happiness is what we get when we get what we wanted, and synthetic happiness is what we make when we don’t get what we wanted. In our society, we have a strong belief that synthetic happiness is of an inferior kind.” - Psychologist Dan Gilbert  

Believes that instead of labeling a select few people as a genius, we all have something in us that is genius. 

-       Elizabeth Gilbert  

“You’re imperfect, and you’re wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging."-Brené Brown  

Emotion – There are 6,000 emotions in the English language. We experience less than 12 emotions. What would you do if you had 6 days to live?-Tony Robbins 

"If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original", Ken Robinson says.  

TED itself is not just a gathering, their core value is to shape and deliver ideas that motivate human beings to a different outlook and understanding.
Now, take a deep breath and always keep yourself updated on TED.
