Jul 10 2010: Just before listening to this talk, I had heard this other one:
"Jane Chen: A warm embrace that saves lives"
http://www.ted.com/talks/jane_chen_a_warm_embrace_that_saves_lives.html
And I think both go hand in hand, are closely related, especially when emphasizing the only way to reduce the birth rate: increased life expectancy of children.

As always, Rosling never ceases to amaze us with his witty talks. He is a genius!!!
Thank you!!!

Jul 5 2010: A really inspiring talk!
It's fantastic the way she explains how we are interconnected with all around us and why it is important to take care.
It is a pleasure to listen!
And I'd like to share this video clip by David Attenborough, Jane Goodall and Carl Sagan. Music + Science is always a good combination!

May 27 2010: wonderful talk!
education= creating condition for talent flourishing
Clearly, conditions around you is what will define you as a person.

I leave this link, it's the poem Sir Robinson recited at the end of the talk:
The Cloths of Heaven - W. B. Yeats (by Harvey Keitel)

May 20 2010: Thank you for this info!

May 13 2010: When he talks about “emotional contagion” as a primitive form of communication, it reminds this famous video which, I think, represents quite well his point:

May 3 2010: “The bigger the challenge, the bigger the sense of achievement when you get to the end of it”
Remarkable message!
I also liked a lot when she talked about the “tiny actions” and its impacts, because it’s so true and it’s a profound message. And I think in this way for two reasons:
if we can realize that everything we do, counts, we will finally understand that we DO have the power to change, to make a difference;
and 2-We are adults, and as such we are role model, children will follow us, so let’ do things that count for good, they will do the same!

Apr 27 2010: "we are sparks of change"
what a wonderful and meaningful expression!!
All the stories of this talk are very inspiring, engaging and moving
From these women we can learn a lot, mainly about “turning discord into harmony”
I didn't know her, but from now on I'll follow her.

Apr 16 2010: I think she is a great source of inspiration not just for artist but for everybody,
It’s wonderful to see, as she talks, her love and passion for this job, it's extremely motivating,
I liked a lot two ideas:
the power of vision
and the concept of artist not only as "content creator" but fundamentally as "catalyst" of historical moments of our time.

Apr 9 2010: This is one of the most moving talks I saw so far.
What struck me is that, it wasn’t a message about the wonderful thing that nowadays technology, medicine and engineer can achieve; it’s something more profound and within everybody's reach. The message he tried to convey with his words, silences, face, gestures and tears is that our commitment to the suffering and pain of others is a powerful tool to improving their lives, to improving everybody lives.
Commitment and empathy with the suffering and pain, give him strength to work harder and faster.

Apr 7 2010: Garr Reynolds posted about this talk yesterday with some interesting comments and links to explore:

I particularly liked this link, when he talks about the beginner's mind:

Apr 6 2010: Tomás, I absolutely agreed with your comment; because when we teach children how things work, we're inspiring them to be creative; we're pushing them to imagine new ways of doing things. And I think this is because when they know how something works, they also know what is good and what is wrong, what does work and what doesn’t, and from there, they can move forward. Knowledge is the first step toward Creativity.

Mar 24 2010: Today, march 24th, is "Ada Lovelace Day", it's an international day to celebrate the achievements of women in technology and science. In this post that I leave:

http://timkastelle.org/blog/2010/03/ten-great-women-you-can-write-about-for-ada-lovelace-day/

the author talks about ten women (including Jane McGonigal) who are doing a great job in these areas.
In the mid-1800s, Ada Lovelace was the world's first computer programmer, becoming an important figure in the history of computing.

Mar 24 2010: Wonderful talk!

Mar 15 2010: Thank you very much for this talk!
I liked a lot the "ikigai" word and its meaning...
"the reason for which you wake up in the morning."
without doubt this is the "key point", no just for having a longer but also a meaningful life.

Mar 15 2010: I liked this talk,
I think that many times we know a lot a director for its movies but we do not know much about their own stories and how they get to do/ film what they do, and I think, in this talk Cameron tell us a little about that personal process.
And what he says at the end of the talk is very inspiring, mainly when refers to curiosity and imagination as lesson learned, without doubt he pays a great tribute to those ideas, since almost all of his movies were always full of curiosity and imagination.
