My TED Story

I had a dream! a silly dream may be, but nevertheless it was a dream: to attend TED once (at least) in my lifetime.
We didn't use to have these kinds of events here in Lebanon! I used to spend my time watching videos online and i envied people who have LIVE access to these kinds of conferences.
And then, the dream came true, not once, not twice, but 3 times!

I attended TEDGlobal in 2010, TEDActive in 2012 and the brilliant TEDxSummit also in 2012.
That's more than i could have dreamed of in a lifetime.

And TEDxBeirut! 6 TEDxBeirutSalons and 2 TEDxBeirut main events in 2011 and 2012! What a success!!

Not forgetting the intimate WEEKLY TEDxSKE salon that we've been having at our home for more than 3 years now!!

Want to hear more? Want to hear about the 2 TEDxGreenBeirut salons that we did in 2010? :)

That's enough TED & TEDx in my life for now! :)

  Jan 16 2013: Hilarious as usual. I watched it LIVE at the TEDxSummit, but i remember there was a bit about the TEDx water bottle looking like a torpido, was this part removed? I wonder...

  A comment on Talk: Ben Saunders: Why bother leaving the house?

  Jan 16 2013: 100%! Loved the message behind the talk- We sometimes are so satisfied to see another person's experience online that we don't make the effort to experiment it ourselves. This is a good reminder that living it is different than reading about it and watching it online.
  This reminded me of a TEDxBeirut 2012 talk from mountaineer Peter Mouracade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deOvyZRdcw4&list=PLSP6jX6HW7IZEufclWnALIMYFGpnsY_io&index=10

  A comment on Talk: Andy Puddicombe: All it takes is 10 mindful minutes

  Jan 16 2013: I think this is the first time we see a talk about meditation and being in the NOW on TED- Wondering if Eckhart Tolle will be the next speaker at TED... Even Mathieu Ricard, Bob Thurman and the spiritual people who spoke at TED had more "research/scientific" talks than this one.
  
  I LIKE IT though.
