Ideas Worth Spreading
I’m not sure how I didn’t discover TED: ideas worth spreading sooner. But as they say, better late than never. Below are just three – of the many – TED talks that are making me think days.
IDEO‘s Tim Brown on “Creativity and Play”
Harry Potter’s J.K. Rowling on “The Fringe Benefits of Failure” from Harvard’s commencement ceremony.
The American Visionary Art Museum‘s founder and visionary Rebecca Hoffberger (this will help you understand why AVAM is my favorite place on earth).

Well done, really interesting and fun! I know one university professor who thought everyone should fail a course…people can deal with success, but dealing with failure teaches us more.
