    Redefine TED – Inspiration. Hope there will be TEDchina someday and hope the first speaker for TEDchina will be Han Han, the most inspirational human being China ever produced for the moment in its history.

    Taking a side-step from the 100 Awesome Things train for a day, I had to repost this TED Interview of Galen Hooks, choreographer and dancer. Here she talks about her experience of dancing onstage at a TED event with The LXD- The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers, and league and place of dancers in society. This is an honest interview which speaks to dancers and those connected to the dance industry everywhere. I hope this moves you as much as it did me. Video of the actual dance coming soon.

      Úprimne zaujímavé čítanie ale nie až tak ako čítanie o online pôžičkách, ktoré som našiel pred pár dňami. Pôžičky online sú zaujímavé v tom, že sa dajú vybaviť na internete a nemusíte nikam chodiť. Pôžičky online vybavíte bez čakania v radoch a bez zbytočných poplatkov.
