Empower & Trust - local ideas conference

Attended a local TED-like conference. Met people who were there for business opportunities as well as people who really are utilizing their passion & talents to make the world better. To be fair, they both made this conference possible.

The most enjoyable parts were those Q&A sessions. Thought-provoking questions & ideas & discussion. After all, Who the hell around you will have the mood to explore or debate these big ideas (or things beyond self interest) in everyday's hustle?

In one way or another during the conference, the key to sustainable changes emerge, Empower & Trust. It's no longer about us helping them, being super-smart heroes or super-generous organizations. Empower people, Trust them, they'll show you they can make the changes for themselves and for our earth.

afterthought:

With the launch of TEDx, it'll be easier and cheaper to organize similar gatherings (of 10 or 10 thousand people) around the world...world changers meet to share & explore & co-create ideas...to inspire and motivate each other...to set foundations for world-changing movements...

It'll be a lot of fun, if we take action to make them happen.
