TED – Ideas Worth Spreading

11 May

Recently downloaded the TED application for my iPad, and I have gotten into the habit of trying to watch TED.

From their own website:

TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

Ideas Worth Spreading. Think about it. In a nutshell it is part of what Social Media is all about. Ideas that we think are good, that we are trying to share with others. Not for any motif of profit or fame or glory…but to make things better. The TED mission is simply stated in Spread Ideas.

The site itself is mostly videos of speakers talking about ideas that will help change in a positive way.

The video below is about SMILING.  Sounds easy.  And it is.

Yet we all do not do it on a daily basis.
