Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.
This made me laugh
You need to understand portuguese for this.
But it's well worth it.
Há uns tempos atrás, olhava para o TED que se passava em Portugal com algum respeito....entretanto, percebi qualquer palhacito com menos vergonha na cara sobe ao palco e começa a falar de treta que pouco interessa a qualquer pessoa....
Reparei que, de um modo geral, estes palhacitos usam a bandeira do empreendedorismo, blablabla wiskas saquetas!
Parece-me tudo tão demasiado ridículo, sem sentido, vago, disparatado, ao ponto de ser difícil conseguir definir o que é o TED hoje em dia....
Qualquer pessoa com uma ideia, seja original ou plagiada, integralmente ou com adaptações, e que desenvolva um site, blog, que tenha mais de 1000 views por dia (reais ou imaginárias)...qualquer palhacito que saiba conjugar os verbos, ser, ter e haver no presente do indicativo, e que consiga, ainda que devagar, dizer a tabuada dos 2 até aos 5, está habilitado a ser orador do TED.
Não interessa muito do que se fala, ou de onde vêm as ideias. O que interessa mesmo é que se fale, fale e fale. Que se ande de um lado para o outro no palco e que se faça rir a audiência, pelo menos uma vez, nem que seja à custa de auto-ridicularização. Outra coisa fundamental é o ar de Steve Jobs que cumpre respeitar - pelo menos no vestuário.
Quem és tu, meu caro orador de 21 anos? Eu? Dá-me só 5 minutos, vou ter uma call daqui a 30 segundos com o director de marketing da Pixar - que vou ser o próximo Pinóquio pá!
Pá, eu, eu sou um empreendedor / (slash) consultor de Santa Maria dos Anjos. comecei a empreender aos 16 anos na Vila Longa dos Anjos, you see, com mais outros 3 empreendedores, friends da escola; começamos por fazer sites que não tinham interesse algum, que foram muito bem recebidos pelo public, sobre banha de porco, pig fat, depois empreendemos mais um bocadinho e começamos uma startup que se chamava GrijoForumOnline, que potenciou a uma escala tridimensional a discussão local sobre porra nenhuma; entretanto estamos em 2009 e conseguimos um patrocínio de 7000 euros para irmos de Santa Maria dos Anjos à Praia dos Anjos a pé e fazer um levantamento de conchas deslocadas, com o objectivo de as devolver ao mar; isto deu-nos imensa projecção no cenário marítimo da Praia dos Anjos, e foi então que em 2010 que a CM da Praia dos Anjos nos convidou para orgnizar o festivar "marcha das conchas" que reuniu oradores de todo o mundo, principalmente do Estados Unidos, e é então desde aí que eu não consigo deixar de usar expressões, palavras e stuff like that em Inglês; hoje já consigo ser empreendedor profissional, falar em conferências sobre a porra nenhuma de que te falei, tenho uma empresa de prestação de serviços especializada em consultadoria, e tenho clientes como a Amazon, Apple, IBM, Novartis, Vaticano, o Papa himself, CocaCola, e a Serralharia do Norte.

"Since I discovered my passion in filmmaking, I dedicated all the time I had to it. Any free minute was spent in playing with cameras, writing down stories, capturing images anywhere on this planet. I got more and more lost in projects and in what I loved doing so much: to find truly unique beauty in just about everything and capture it. My life was based around work.
My passion turned into routine. I almost burned out and it took me a while to understand what was happening. That experience has built a bigger-picture understanding of the world around me and my role in it. In an overstimulated world like today it becomes increasinly important to be able to focus, take it slower and identify beauty in just about everything.
After selling all camera equipment in March 2012 to take a 7 month break, motivation is back and life is more balanced than it ever was. Blickinsfreie is back!" René Eckert (Founder Blickinsfreie), January 2013 As comeback, Blickinsfreie presents "IN SEARCH OF" - a series of short films showcasing what we have captured the last 4 years all around the globe.
Most of the material has never been aired before and gives you an insight in our past projects. In "EPISODE 1 - THE BRAZIL EXPERIENCE", filmmaker René Eckert gives an in-depth look into his feelings and describes the motivation behind his comeback in the world of filmmaking. In addition the episode shows the most beautiful images we have captured during our stay in Brazil in 2011.
While most movies out there focus on other people´s lives or even worse on products you should buy or better have, I hope this one makes you look at your life and what you really want to do with it.

Made my day
"Blades Square"
“Blades square,” the coach yelled from the Boston Whaler as he increased the speed on his outboard motor, pursuing the eight man boat as we gained speed. I sat in four-seat, right in the middle of the engine room, the place for the taller, heavier rowers. The eight man team reluctantly complied with the coach's order and rowed across the Long Island Sound, NYAC jerseys on our backs and the muggy, humid early summer morning sun reflecting in the water, practicing for national championships.
Most of the time, oarsmen feather their oars - rotating the blades to be parallel to the water as they move through the air, helping the boat run on an even keel. Holding the blades square decreases the margin for error from a few inches to a few quarters of an inch. If anyone in the boat splashes their oar in the water, the delicate balance of the boat is upset, teammates grumble and the boat slows dramatically.
In college, we rowed blades square only infrequently. It was a difficult technique drill. At NYAC, blades square was the norm. The coach demanded blades square all the time. Before races, after races, at 5am when we pushed off the dock to start practice and and 8am when we returned, dog-tired.
The blades square mentality pervaded the rest of our practices. Coach held us to standards higher than we expected to hold ourselves. Because he demanded blades square, we demanded it from ourselves. And it became a matter of pride.
I'll never forget those first days rowing blades square, my knuckles bloodied from hitting the gunwales each time an oar touched the water and the boat balance collapsed to one side. Nor will I forget the rest of the summer when blades square became routine and eventually second nature. Or the weight silver medal hanging around my neck as I stood on the podium.
One of the entrepreneurs I'm lucky enough to work with has an expression for this idea that I love: “every damn day.” It's the battle cry for 2013 for his company. It's a refrain for excellence day in day out, through the dark cold winter and the lazy dog days of summer.
Whatever you call it, rowing blades square or every damn day, the idea is the same. Leaders have to demand excellence from their teams and drive teams to expect excellence from themselves. Every damn day.
