#6 TED talks

The reason I like this TED video is that the speaker illustrates not only his father's story but also other interviewees' , which touches my soul very much. Dave Isay opened the first StoryCorps booth in New York’s Grand Central Terminal in 2003 with the intention of creating a quiet place where a person could honor someone who mattered to them by listening to their story. His TED Prize wish is to grow this digital archive of the collective wisdom of humanity. Hearing his vision can make StoryCorps global  and we can be a part of it by interviewing someone with the StoryCorps app. It goes without saying that this video is very charming and inspiring. As the speaker states: "we can create an archive of the wisdom of humanity, and maybe in doing so,we'll learn to listen a little more and shout a little less." We must remain human being's  friendly essence and intelligent wisdom.

  1. Very inspiring Simon! This is really a good recommendation not only for ourselves but also for other people who want to know and share their life stories. I truly respect and honor what he has contributed. Maybe we normal people are really just normal people, but in some simple ways, we can also extend our hand as long as we have the heart and passion. :)
