• A reply on Conversation: We are organizing a TEDx event, what advice you should give us?!

  Feb 3 2012: Tu hablar espanol si ? De nada Chica :)
  
  Yeah I had some money saved up so the TEDxSummit looks like it'll work out for me. And I know how expensive tickets are from that part of the world ! I was in Argentina, Brazil and (mostly) Chile for 5 or 6 weeks and I loved it there so might be going back soon !

  Feb 3 2012: You've already had some good advice so I won't repeat it but I will say this... There are 3 things critical to making your TEDx event the best it can be. First, the Team. Get the mix right and you've already won half the battle. Second, focus on your Performers/Speakers. Help them tell their stories the best they can. And lastly, think about the Theme. This is what gives your TEDx identity. A TEDx can be anything you want it to be. The Theme is its spirit. It is that single defining image which everyone will take back home with them so give it some time and thought.
  
  Ok. I'm done :)

  A reply on Conversation: If you could learn 1 thing from a child what would it be ?

  Feb 2 2012: +1 to everything you said. I agree with most of it and would just like to add that children do not judge others simply because they do not assume. They realize that life is dynamic and though experiences are helpful no 2 experiences can ever be completely alike. Also they remember the best in people and not their worst. If adults could manage each other on that principle we would be a much happier lot.

  Feb 2 2012: Agreed Carmen. I personally think children don't fully comprehend fear, failure or even the fragility of Life and thus are able to do things beyond what we think is possible.

  Feb 2 2012: That's an interesting thought... Why do you think we start to judge others as we grow older ? I have some theories but I'd love to hear your take on it :)
