TED sheeches

Dear friends and classmates,

I don't know whether you have ever heard about TED (technology, entertainment, design).
The link below is a short introduction about it.

http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/TED%E5%A4%A7%E4%BC%9A
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TED_(conference)

There are so many excellent, brilliant, and exciting speeches that TED held.

I truly believe the vision of TED:

TED大會希望傳達這樣一個的信息，即優秀的思想可以改變人們對這個世界的看法，使人們反思自己的行為。TED大會只是TED社區的一部分，任何人，只要他認同某個TED演講所傳遞的觀點，都是TED社區的一員，他們都可以為實現某個偉大的理想而共同努力。

現在有些演講的內容也都有翻譯成各國語言，有些還有中英文字幕，不只可以學習到一些核心思想，也可以學習一下語言，
昨天看到Jamie Oliver的演講，Jemie is the winner of 2010 TED prize. 也是推廣食品教育，
像台灣的阿基師也是強調多吃食物，不要吃過度加工的食品。

傑米•奧利佛 (Jamie Oliver) 的 TED 大奬願望：給予孩童食品教育 (中英雙字幕)

I think it is a great speech, share with all of you and hope you like it.
