storytelling.

couldn't resist posting another TED talk. he's not as compelling of a speaker as the two ladies i posted prior, but he still makes great points.

i still love stories. maybe i'm shifting my focus towards facilitating other people to tell their own stories rather than being involved in the creation of fabricated ones. i've always loved reading memoirs. to watch people tell their stories in person in front of a huge audience--the WORLD--...that's inspiring.

some great quotes that resonate and make me ponder:

"you care - not by chance, but by design.

learn to recognize your temperament and own it. 

change is fundamental in story. if things go static in stories, stories die...because life is never static. 

storytelling has guidelines, not hard, fast rules. "
