Before I die I want to...

There are a lot of ways the people around us can help improve our lives. We don't bump into every neighbor, so a lot of wisdom never gets passed on, though we do share the same public spaces.

我们周围的人能以很多种方式 来帮我们把生活变得更美好 我们不一定能常常碰到我们的邻居 所以即使我们生活在同一片公共空间里 邻居的智慧也难以被传递开来

So over the past few years, I've tried ways to share more with my neighbors in public space, using simple tools like stickers, stencils and chalk. And these projects came from questions I had, like, how much are my neighbors paying for their apartments? (Laughter) How can we lend and borrow more things without knocking on each other's doors at a bad time? How can we share more of our memories of our abandoned buildings, and gain a better understanding of our landscape? And how can we share more of our hopes for our vacant storefronts, so our communities can reflect our needs and dreams today?

The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of “China’s Got Talent” show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium. Guess who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle. And I told her, “I’m going to Scotland the next day.” She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese. [Chinese] So it’s not like “hello” or “thank you,” that ordinary stuff. It means “green onion for free.” Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle — a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn’t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was “green onion for free.” So

2016保罗皮夫ted演讲稿

保罗皮夫ted演讲稿为大家整理社会心理学家保罗皮夫在ted上的精彩演讲词《越有钱越无情》，保罗皮夫在演讲中用一款游戏分析了富人与穷人的关系构造，通过游戏他证明出，财富的增加和社会地位的上升会直接导致自我中心的失控，而相反这类人群的社会责任却不能与他们的财富成为正比。以下是具体的保罗皮夫ted演讲稿全文。 保罗皮夫ted演讲稿

我想让大家花一点时间，想象一下自己正在玩大富翁游戏，只不过在这个游戏里面，那些帮助你赢得游戏的因素，比如技巧、才能和运气，在此无关紧要，就像对于人生一样。因为这个游戏被操纵了，而你已经占了上风，你有更多的钱，有更多在棋盘上移动的机会，以及更多获得资源的机会。在你想象这个经历的时候，我想让大家问一下自己，一个被操纵的游戏里面，作为优势玩家的经历会如何改变你思考自己和对待对手的方式? 在加州大学伯克利分校，我们做了一个试验来研究这个问题：我们招募了100多对陌生人到实验室。通过投掷硬币的方式，随机选定一对中的一个作为这个游戏中占上风的玩家。他们拿到了两倍的钱，当他们途径起点的时候，他们拿到两倍的工资，而且他们可以同时掷两个骰子而不是一个，所以他们可以在棋盘上移动更多。(笑声)在接下来的15分钟内，我们通过隐藏的摄像头观察了现场情况。今天是第一次，我想和大家分享一下我们观察到的，有的时候音质可能不太好，还请大家原谅。因为毕竟是用隐藏的摄像头，所以我们加上了字幕：

2016詹姆斯卡梅隆ted演讲稿

说起詹姆斯卡梅隆，大家一定会熟悉，他就是《阿凡达》的导演，下面是小编整理的詹姆斯卡梅隆ted演讲稿，演讲中，他说从来没有一次探险是在有完全安全保障的情况下完成的。你必须愿意承担这些风险。

詹姆斯卡梅隆ted演讲稿

1、科幻的童年

我是看科幻小说长大的。高中时，我连坐校车上下学时都在读着科幻小说。这些书将我带到另一个世界，满足了我无止境的好奇。每当我在学校，我总是在树丛中寻找一些"标本"——青蛙、蛇、昆虫......我把它们放在显微镜下观察。我总是试图认知这个世界，想找到它可能的边界。

我对科幻小说的热爱或许是那个时代的写照。60年代末期，人类登上了月球，去了深海。通过电视，我们看到了不同的动物和地方。这都是我们不曾想象的。这种氛围中，我不知不觉地喜欢上了科幻小说。每当我看完小说，故事中的影像就会在我脑海中不断放映。或许是因为创造力必须找到一个发泄方式，我开始画外星人、机器人、飞船......我甚至会在数学课上在课本的背面画画。

对科幻小说的不断接触让我想到：外星人不一定生存在外太空，他们很有可能就生活在我们星球上。所以15岁时，我决定成为一个潜水员。而当时实现梦想唯一的问题是我生活在加拿大的一个小山村，离最近的海有6英里远。但我父亲并没有让这成为我梦想的障碍，他在边境对岸的美国纽约州布法罗找到了一个潜水培训班。于是我便在布法罗的一个泳池里获得了潜水证书。直到两年后，当我们全家搬到加州，我才第一次有机会真正地潜水。在这之后的40年里，我在海底大约总共花了3万个小时。大海如此丰富多彩，众多神奇的生物生活其中。比起我们的想象力，自然的想象力完全没有边界。我想，至今我对大海的了解还是很少，但我对海洋的好奇却一直延续着。

2016david grady ted演讲稿 让偷走你时间的人滚蛋

信息安全管理专家davidgrady在TED上的精彩演讲，引起了300多万浏览的分享，他说，我们每个人都患上了一种可怕的新型全球传染病MAS，症状就是：你在日程表上突然跳出的"见面邀请"的那一瞬间，你几乎就已经接受了。下面第一公文网小编整理这篇davidgradyted演讲稿让偷走你时间的人滚蛋

davidgradyted演讲稿让偷走你时间的人滚蛋

这是啥?一把椅子。假设：这是一个礼拜一的早上，你正呆在办公室，准备为这天工作做安排。然后呢，有个你好像只是在楼下大厅见过一面的家伙，正好逛到你办公室，随手就拿走了你的椅子。

他也不说一句话，也没给你任何解释。你就觉得很奇怪：周围那么多椅子，他怎么就偏偏选了我这把呢?甚至完全不管我今天是否可能用到这把椅子的事实。

你可能就受不了了，想和他大吵一架。但真实情况是?你一路尾随他，跟他走到了他办公室，然后，你要他给你一个解释。

好了，十几个小时过去，周二早上到了。你又在办公室，日历上，突然弹出一个想和你见面的邀请。

有个女人说，她想和你聊个事，这事和一个项目有关，而你对这个项目其实不是很了解。然后，邀请也没啥明确议程，甚至都没为啥你得去的原因。

TED精彩演讲：坠机让我学到的三件事 Imagine a big explosion as you climb through 3,000 ft. Imagine a plane full of smoke. Imagine an engine going clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack. It sounds scary. 想像一个大爆炸，当你在三千多英尺的高空；想像机舱内布满黑烟，想像引擎发出喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦的声响，听起来很可怕。

Well I had a unique seat that day. I was sitting in 1D. I was the only one who can talk to the flight attendants. So I looked at them right away, and they said, "No problem. We probably hit some birds." The pilot had already turned the plane around, and we weren't that far. You could see Manhattan.

I know what you're thinking. You think I've lost my way, and somebody's going to come on the stage in a minute and guide me gently back to my seat. (Applause) I get that all the time in Dubai. "Here on holiday are you, dear?" (Laughter) "Come to visit the children? How long are you staying?"

我知道你们在想什么，你们觉得我迷路了，马上就会有人走上台温和地把我带回我的座位上。（掌声）。我在迪拜总会遇上这种事。“来这里度假的吗，亲爱的？”（笑声）“来探望孩子的吗？这次要待多久呢？"

Well actually, I hope for a while longer yet. I have been living and teaching in the Gulf for over 30 years. (Applause) And in that time, I have seen a lot of changes. Now that statistic is quite shocking. And I want to talk to you today about language loss and the globalization of English. I want to tell you about my friend who was teaching English to adults in Abu Dhabi. And one fine day, she decided to take them into the garden to teach them some nature vocabulary. But it was she who ended up learning all the Arabic words for the local plants, as well as their uses -- medicinal uses, cosmetics, cooking, herbal. How did those students get all that knowledge? Of course, from their grandparents and even their great-grandparents. It's not necessary to tell you how important it is to be able to communicate across generations.

Why TED talks are better than the last speech you sat through

世上最好的演讲：TED演讲吸引人的秘密

Think about the last time you heard someone give a speech, or any formal presentation. Maybe it was so long that you were either overwhelmed with data, or you just tuned the speaker out. If PowerPoint was involved, each slide was probably loaded with at least 40 words or figures, and odds are that you don't remember more than a tiny bit of what they were supposed to show. 回想一下你上次聆听某人发表演讲或任何正式陈述的情形。它也许太长了，以至于你被各种数据搞得头昏脑胀，甚或干脆不理会演讲者。如果演讲者使用了PPT文档，那么每张幻灯片很可能塞入了至少40个单词或数字，但你现在或许只记得一丁点内容。
