The Meaning of Life (A TED Remix)

/

The TED Conference (Technology, Entertainment and Design) brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes.) Each conference is structured around an overarching idea. A TED Remix is a new juxtaposition of talks around a specific theme.

Maya Angelou was once asked if she knew the meaning of life. She said she didn’t know the meaning of life but that she knew how to live a good life. The answer was simple. Four words. Live your life with passion, compassion, humor and style.
