Have you met TED? No, I'm not talking about Ted Mosby, the guy from "How I Met Your Mother" but from the increasingly popular TED talks video podcast. Yeah, I'm a big fan of TED, some people don't seem to get it but I find that watching some of these TED talks given by people who are following their dreams and doing what they are suppose to be doing in whatever field that might be can be quite inspiring and they might even help us to find our own purpose in life and to follow our dreams, or at least they might help us to open our minds to new ideas and possibilities.
I always like sharing with my friends my favorite TED talks so I decided instead of sharing them one by one to make a selection of my Top 10 TED talks based on the talks that I've found most inspiring and motivating and publish them on this blog, so If you are trying to find what is your purpose in life or if you need some inspiration or motivation to pursue your dreams, live your passion and continue doing what you are meant to be doing then I strongly recommend you watching these top 10 TED talks.
