More About Me

I'm passionate about

The future, design, art, music.

An idea worth spreading

I'm a big fan of innovations and even though I might not be full of ideas, I do have thoughts to share. My "Idea worth spreading" would be, the an idea of challange. Challange yourself, everyday. Not as in making things difficult, but by trying something new. If you don't eat biscuits try them! If you normally eat white bread, try tasting dark. If you don't listen to music, try going to a concert! Challange youself. It's the only way you're gonna learn about yourself. And who knows, you might end up enjoying yourself, while learning. And isn't that what we all strive to do?

Talk to me about

Whatever you fancy.

People don't know that I'm good at

Lying and cooking.

My TED Story

Hm, i'm hoping to fill this out real soon ;D

• A comment on Conversation: What if the TED Community worked together to build the model 21st century learning environment? What would it look like?

  Jun 29 2011: Not to overwrite some of the previous statements, sorry friends, 70+ good ideas, too much for me to read at once. But I think that a TED learning center, should be what TED is about, Ideas worth Spreading.
  
  Let's close our eyes and imagine an institution. You can picture your college, or any other institution. Here we (the students) learn, and we develop. We make use of the "drop-in" Term. No signing up, no appointments. Students talk, while students listen. When a student gets an idea, he gets the time and the tools to nurture this idea. And when he thinks it's valid he announces a talk, to inspire others.
  While opening the door for investors, corporations, organizations who are looking for the next big thing. If they find an idea that they think is brilliant, they can contact the student.
  Think
  Inspire
  and put it into reality.

  A comment on Talk: Dave deBronkart: Meet e-Patient Dave

  Jun 29 2011: Very inspirational. I'm myself an arthritis patient, in an age of 19 this has been hard for me. I have disregarded my doctors because of their lack of interest, and their lack of success. I have most of my life been against patient to patient help, as I would rather get an answer or an advice from a person with a medical education. But Dave deBronKart has changed my mind, and renewed my faith, in us.

  A comment on Talk: Joshua Walters: On being just crazy enough

  Jun 29 2011: I think this was interesting. I have a brother who suffers from a severe kind of sensibility. Which makes him, in some peoples minds, well.. Crazy. He hears things, I don't hear, because, my mind says, it's not important, it's not relevant. He can't shut out these things. Patterns, sounds, threats, he sees, hears and feels them all. Some times i'd like to be in his shoes, for a day. Just so I could really, feel, the world. This speaker gave me some hope, for him, and for others that are "crazy". I prefer to say different. Not from all of us, just different from me, you all are. So different is now, normal.

• A comment on Talk: Honor Harger: A history of the universe in sound

  Jun 29 2011: Amazing talk, I love how Honor Harger actually made me interested in Radio Astrology, this was quite groundbreaking information for me.

• A comment on Talk: Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight

  Jun 29 2011: This was a very emotional Talk. I liked that about it. It was a joy for me, to hear Dr. Jill Taylor talk about this experience, she reached me, in some sense. I find it strange, reflecting on the talk, that this woman was talking about a stroke. She could've talked about anything. To me she talked about life, in any case, she taught me something new about life. She is Ted Talks, for me.
