Think before you speak. Speak before you act: Ian Keteku at TEDxLaurierUniversity

When your courage needs a bailout package, watch Ian Keteku's very entertaining poetic TEDxLaurierUniversity talk. Ian Keteku is the 2010 World Poetry Slam champion. In this talk he shares stories of Sponge Bob, Goldilocks and kittens doing moonwalks. He speaks of connectedness and butterfly effects and encourages us to spread peace, love and joy - and most importantly, to "be committed."

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'm here because I have no filter, I say what's on my mind freely, it's my right to freedom of speech. Some people think it's impulsive. Anyway, I never really cared but sometimes I upset people unintentionally.

I think we shouldn't speak any word we don't know the meaning to. 🥰
