About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)

What I learn from my father was not to be eager to be with him; rather, he sent me to hellfire to stand alone and face the world as it is: In a serious economy's chaos...

[drtaraknathchattopadhyay]

Nice topic. Good speaker is also a good listener.

You can almost learn from anything seemingly dull. She still made points with her annoying voice and vocal tone. I absolutely hate the way she talks, but her points save her...plus she helped to save a life.
