This was the first video I watched on TED : http://www.ted.com/talks/pranav_mistry_the_thrilling_potential_of_sixthsense_technology.html ..
Ever since I was following many interesting talks on TED , all speakers had one thing in common passion and happiness in what they are doing .
I have submitted a couple of ideas to TED and I am contributing regularly to as many TED conversations as possible , voicing my opinions and connecting with people on TED . Reading more self help books and other short stories ,following my passion for music, psychology , philosophy etc . My enthusiasm is just increasing everyday as I watch a talk everyday .
Regards,
Bharath
