I had forgotten about Ted for too long. Yes, the website. Ted.com. A place exclusively designated for intelligent conversations. Talks by great thinkers for curious and open receptors.
I found this inspiring talk on inventing and making things. The title suggests that "We are all makers". Yes, I believe we are. I believe human beings have an extraordinary capacity for understanding how things work, the why's and how's of mechanical functions. I believe that we have enough sensitivity to create magical worlds through literature and visual imagery, to compose astonishing musical pieces that can elevate the spirit into a higher ground. We all can make anything we want. We can transform our realities by the power of choice. But we first have to choose we want to make these things. You first need to believe you are a maker too.
For all of you crafters, artists and idealists, here is the conference for you to view.....

Asking the right questions
There is a moment in life when one should stop everything and stare right back at oneself. Look at you. Look at who you are, where are you standing, your surroundings. Acknowledge everything about you, your sadness, your joy, your restlessness... what moves you and what stops you flat.
In that moment, in that precise second, ask. Talk to yourself and find out that thing, the splinter that's holding you back. Look for the burning sensation on the mouth of your stomach, dare to dig that place that you've put aside, where you hide the leftovers of your busy life, and ask. The questions are personal, and they will reveal themselves to you. Look for them, embrace them, and them start the transformation.
Be prepared. This exercise is the beginning of it all. When we ask the right questions, a revolution starts within our soul. These questions are the fuel needed for progress, for evolution. They remove the rust on our brain and challenge us in limitless ways.
Life should not be a series of accidents. Take charge, and believe.
