Homework 20/08/14: Ted.com



TED is the best thing since sliced bread, it has hundreds of inspirational talks about all kinds of topics from how to be successful to the benefits of being introverted. I can spend hours just watching random stuff.

If you visit TED talks you can choose language English and whichever topic your prefer. Try to find a short talk, maybe from three to ten minutes, and take notes as you watch it. Tomorrow you can tell the class about it.

Here are some of my personal favorites:

David Gallo on underwater creatures
http://www.ted.com/talks/david_gallo_shows_underwater_astonishments

Richard St John on how to reach success
http://www.ted.com/talks/richard_st_john_s_8_secrets_of_success

Susan Cain on Introverts and extroverts
http://www.ted.com/talks/susan_cain_the_power_of_introverts

Elizabeth Gilbert on creativity
http://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_success_failure_and_the_drive_to_keep_creating
