I’m pretty sure we had a thread about this at one time but i couldnt find it.

anyways, i try and watch all of the talks on [ted.com](http://ted.com) but lately there has been too much on education, art and other stuff that doesn’t really engage me that much.

today’s TED talk really got me going… i’ll just leave this here.

here’s one from the other day that is short but along the same lines…

I’ve probably gone back and watched this 5 times and basically cry or nearly cry every time.

This is a pretty good article based in part on the book written by that speaker:

> **[Good News! Your Life Isn't Limitless!](https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/advice/good-news-your-life-isnt-limitless/)**
>
> If you narrow your career choices, you are actually less stressed and more happy with life. Meg Jay's book, The Defining Decade, helps us discover why.

k that is super long… too long, but what i did read of it was pretty good.

i think whoever wrote that didnt realize that this is the internet and i don’t have to be interested in it.

I suppose article is a bit of a stretch for what they wrote there, it’s more like the length of a chapter in a book. Either way it’s good stuff.

gay guy talking about loving your children no matter what. some very moving conversation about Dylan Kleibold’s mother…

also, i clapped around 19:36, first time doing that… gay dude and his partner have a stack of kids with lesbians… awesome. better than heteros not having kids.
