Mania?


Here is a short video (4:35) of a TedTalk by Jay Walker on mania, specifically the world’s mania around learning English with a focus on China. He sees it as a turning point with English representing hope for a better future and the opportunity for people from around the world to engage in problem solving.

Ok, so what? This is of interest to me for a variety of reasons that I will begin to share in my next post.

Thanks for posting the thought provoking video, Mike. I have followed TED for several years now, and also find many interesting ideas worth spreading (as is their goal). I look forward to your next post to see where you'll go with this.

P.S. "MOST IMPORTANTLY, I DON'T WANT TO LET MYSELF DOWN!"
