My TED Story

I first came to TED in 2009 after watching Al Gore's video in 2006 that talked about climate crisis. I was quickly hooked, and started to get interested in this global set of conference and its great concept to disseminate "ideas worth spreading". Then, I decided to join the community in 2011, seeking inspirational stories, sharing my vision of the Rising Africa and looking for ideas that I can take to energize my way through life.

    A reply on Conversation: Happiness?

    Feb 15 2013: Of course Kate, I think we'd first know what we want ! Some live their lives without asking any questions, day by day, and enjoy the simple pleasures that life has to offer. Aimlessly, with no real goals or projects, they sail and want happiness. No value judgment on my part here : we may well live happily in recklessness.

    But others, however, are struggling to achieve their goals because they know where they want to go. They know what they are for levent early in the morning. Their entire being is stretched to their purpose and at any time they don't forget this desire that tugs and pulls them toward their goal. And, believe it or not it pays.

    That's why I think frankly that happiness is to Stay focused and Never stop fighting... no matter what happens !
  • A comment on Conversation: Happiness?

    Feb 14 2013: Many currents of thought argue that being happy is to feed the strongest passions and satisfy all his desires even more crazy, but many would argue that this path can only lead us into a vicious circle. However, I think we all have the substance of ourselves a need, a desire, a certain totality. We can not define it, it is often called "happiness", but it is at the bottom of each of us, a claim of a visceral something that would be our fulfillment, our all. That's what I always look behind every action, dream or smile. Finally, this is what I would try to hear.
