I will admit it: I have stayed in when friends were going out because I couldn't stop watching TED Talks.
I. Love. TED Talks.
I think being a librarian requires a certain level of innate curiosity, and I have never lacked for that. TED Talks feed this curiosity in power-packed snippets of goodness.
I recently watched Lisa Bu's talk from the TED2013 conference and it blew me away. On the surface, the talk is about the power of books and the importance of comparative disciplines (religion, literature, philosophy, etc.). But Bu's talk is really about dreams and how she has found a way to reform and reconnect with her dreams. As a person who values passion, goals, and challenges, this quote from her talk especially spoke to me:
"I have come to believe that coming true is not the only purpose of a
dream. Its most important purpose is to get us in touch with where
dreams come from, where passion comes from, where happiness comes from.” - Lisa Bu
Please take 6 minutes and enjoy this talk; I found it unexpectedly funny and profoundly moving.
