  • 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)

    I love how his tie is deliberately askew and how he peppers his talk with humor to disarm the audience and waits for them to catch the joke. Clearly he is a force to be reckoned with outside this public speaking "persona."

    Some errors in subtitles were difficult for me to understand what really he says.

      its more about quitting those things you know somoene else can do a better job at, like when you are in a school project and some of your mates enjoy writing and you enjoy making the lay-out/index look nice and sorted. you wil split it up, not doing both things together.
