Your Favorite TEDtalk?
Chimamanda Adichie: The danger of a single story

What would you speak about during your 3 minute TEDx Talk?
I am not an artist, scientist, entrepreneur or world changer. So I would need to share a personal story. I would talk about the joy of the bicycle as a means of transportation, the speed at which you go through a city, the way the cadence of images and scenes seems to help you think, by not being boring but at the same time not asking your full attention. The joy of transporting two kids on your bike. Inhaling the city. And throw in some in-depth research linking nations’ happiness quotient to the number of bicycles per person. I am pretty sure there must be a strong correlation and I will search until I find one. Bicycle quotient and level of IQ? Economic prosperity? General attractiveness of the population? World peace?

Come up with five keyword that define you
Ignorant, boring, lazy, unfocused and not very smart. Compared to any TED speaker that is.
