These sites:
www.ted.com/  "TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading" A couple of my favourite TED talks:
​> Steve Jobs - How to Live Before You Die (Steve urges us to pursue our dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks)
> Jacqueline Novogratz - Inspiring a Life of Immersion (for those driven by sense of service and dedication to a cause)
​> Ken Robinson - Schools Kill Creativity (schools should be teaching creative intelligence, physical intelligence, emotional intelligence etc, not just the academic focus we currently have)
​> Adora Svitak - What adults can learn from kids (maybe we should listen to them more and trust more!)
