My TED Story

Just met Ted in person. Ted is sexy. Tad shaped my world in a way that will make me better and make me evolve and develop as a person. With Ted it was all about conversations. One of them was dedicated to winners and loosers in the cold war. We won and we win said I. We won and we win said American. And we are both right, as far as we say WE. As far as this WE reflects not the nationality, but the unity of us as rootles individuals who are not bounded with bounderies and the past of our countries (existent and non-existent). I have met Ted, and he made me feel that WE actually win. Another topic was weather TED is a new religion. Well, no, said Chris. Another viewpoint on that was that TED (TEDx) is the only organization in the world that can compete with church in the amount of events held each day. But TED is even more powerful - it makes us significantly increase number of these events with our everyday actions. It is a pleasant pandemia, and I am glad I am infected.
