Ted

[Bubbles]

I get these on Amazon prime and have watched a few, on space and black holes etc 

Anyone else watch them?

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL70DEC2B0568B5469

They are on all sorts of subjects, really interesting.

Yes, that's an interesting playlist, Rose; and it doesn't surprise me in the least that Sir Ken Robinson's talk features at the top, he's one of few that has his head screwed on regards ALL aspects of education.

Dear Rose,

I auditioned for Ted, failed miserably but it was great and scary at the same time here is another link to Ted talks.

Rose,


Gonnagle is being overly modest, he did very well in a quite scary arena.

Dear Rose,

Karen Armstrong's Charter for Compassion and Glasgow, the charter is mostly about bringing religious organisations together for a better world, but most of Karen's talks focus on the Golden Rule ( see link below ) which to my mind does not solely belong to the religious, for me it is universal, so my talk was threefold, the charter, Glasgow and trying to persuade the non religious that we have a common goal.

Just to add, there was a young lady on the night who gave a talk about the merits of failure, learning from your failures, it struck a chord, I hope to fail better next time

Gonners, I'm sure you did not fail. I mean who judges these talks.... it's their opinion; there could have been a number of people in the audience that thought.... 'by golly, that was good, interesting. A different panel could have put you through (however it works).

Hold your head high, man.... I'm sure, as Nearly said, you did well.

You're my hero Mr G.

[Gonnagle]

Dear Sweetpea,

The whole experience was great, that great that I hope to do it again, we should all take ourselves out of our comfort zones.

Dear Vlad,

I don't need hero worship, I worship myself quite adequately, for instance, today I got on a bus with the poor people, wee granny's with pensioner passes, students with some kind of discount ( should we make all students walk until they find gainful employment ) unemployed people, you know!! the general riff raff of humanity and I did not blink an eye, for that 10 minutes or so travelling with the common people I felt quite at home, I was one with the common man

I am a hero, tomorrow I hope to have the car back on the road, I can't be a hero everyday.

Gonnagle.

[Nearly Sane]

I am not a big fan of pride, as a concept it mainly seems a bit of a cheat, it's not about you doing something, it's about other people doing it and you admire it.

But I saw Gonnagle make that speech and I was proud, in part because I helped convince him that it could be done, in part just because I was there to support.

I admire Gonnagle in so many ways, not just about that, but it took guts, it wasn't easy, it was a challenge.

[SweetPea]

Gonners, Yes, you could have another go (I refuse to say 'attempt' or 'should').

I just think that sometimes these types of occasions are 'judged' (dislike the word) on how the subject was presented. So, was it that you did not strut up and down the stage enough; throw your arms around enough, or perhaps did not leave long enough pauses at the end of sentences. Gonners..... it's all nonsense, and programmed gesture. What is important is the subject and the message being portrayed.

All the best if you 'go' again.

It sounds really interesting, I hope you succeed, if you try again.

I'd like to see it 🌹

Yes I'd give it another go 🌹
