Daily Ramblings – Ted Talk – Seeing Humanity in my Enemy

Tags

Common Ground, Enemy, Euna Lee, Humanity, North Korea

Here is a short video of a reporter who was captured and detained by North Korea for 140 days. This reminded me of a visit I paid to East Berlin (still under Communist rule) and how I saw the same things in the East German people when I and my fellow soldiers visited for a day. Very powerful video.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Daily Ramblings – Ted Talk

This week’s Ted Talk:

Well, folks, I would love to say I’ve been consistent with this, but if you’ve been blogging any length of time, you realize life happens and you won’t always get that posting up that you wanted to–at least I didn’t.

This week’s Ted Talk is quite interesting. It’s short (around 9 minutes). It is given by a model who started her career when she was just a kid. I don’t want to spoil this, please watch. I would recommend this highly for any moms out there with girls who are aspiring to be models. After watching, they may change their mind…

Look for my next installment next week…

If you think this would work in your community, pass it along to your local government. This is a terrific idea and seems to be working for the city of Albuquerque, NM.

See you next week for another installment…
