this is worth the post.
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is an invitation-only event where the world's leading thinkers and doers gather to find inspiration. It is inspiring and thought-provoking, which I love. I have been following it off and on for some time now.
I recently got this mail from them, and I felt like I had to share. What inspires you?
Here's an inspiring way to start the week.
Take a look at these films. They are each just one minute long. They feature a choir in one country singing another country's national anthem: a simple idea that packs surprising emotional power.
France sings for USA
Japan sings for Turkey
Kenya sings for India
They were shot by film directors looking to support the landmark TED project Pangea Day (which I hope you have calendared for Saturday, May 10).
The event is looking amazing, and I will be writing with some breaking news later in the week. Meanwhile, check out the trailer. And do feel free to forward this note.

P.S. There are more of these anthems on the way.
And I repeat: what inspires you?
