A comment on Conversation: What is your favourite single sentence from a TED Talk?

May 19 2011: Peace of mind attained only through self satisfaction in knowing that you made the effort to the best that you are capable of.
Never be late.
No profanity.
Never criticize your team mate.
(John Wooden, one of the legendary basketball coaches in USA during his talk winning and success, TED 2001)

A comment on Conversation: What do your favourite TED talks tell you about yourself?

Apr 26 2011: For me three presentations come to mind - (1) Hans Rosling on use of data for explaining the real world problems (2) Ken Robinson on how schools kill creativity, which is probably the most watched TED talk, and we show to all our house visitors (3) by David Pogue on how simplicity sells products. The message in all of them is clear - we don't need to complicate the problems in order to better them and most often, the best solution is the simplicity.
