In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

  1. It bit strange , not a word about just enjoying and loving playing drums – for sure competence impacts on motivation but what about the intrinsic reward of playing itself – not just because one achieved a new level of competence

  2. The more I listen to TED speakers, other smart people, look into the scientific method, think about universality and philosophy, compare them with empirical evidence of people believing, saying, doing things in conflicting manners..

    … the more I conclude I am right about my framework of ethics, how objectivity, rationality, and logic trump emotion when it comes to truth, how speaking openly in condemnation against bad things is done all the time but only you can't do it? 

    The more I conclude the world is full of shit, and my submission to rationality and universal logical principles is correct.

  3. Path to success in modern era is all about extraordinary things, not necessarily right or wrong, rather stupid things also. In my book under the Lady Gaga Effects, there is why I say the word " stupid" related to success. Its because this is what people want, extraordinary things, something out of the box, it can be brutal, it can be stupid it can be anything that may trigger human mind. Just look at the book ending with " for dummies" perhaps the most profitable publishing book it is today, this is why " dummies" triggers and capters our mind. For more have a look at my book Unknown Mysteries of Life and the Path to Success, or just insert my name Ferid Azemi on amazon and there you may find my books.

  8. I do not like when people redefine terms like "education" or "training". There is a dictionary for a reason.

  11. the best thing about people who speak is that they show you how stupid they are

  14. Am I the only one who's becoming really annoyed by the kid in the ad, singing, "I think I'll go for a walk outside………"  I'm starting to fantasize about the car he's in being head-oned by a semi.
