The only barrier to learning a language is memory. — The process of language learning is the process of forming memories. Nothing more, nothing less. If you understand that, and you understand how memories are formed, then you can make progress in a way youve never dreamed possible before. Gabriel Wyner is an author, opera singer and polyglot based in Chicago. After reaching fluency in German in 14 weeks with the help of the immersive Middlebury Language Schools, he fell in love with the process of language learning, going on to spend two months in intensive Italian courses in Perugia, Italy. Searching for ways to bring the immersion experience into the home, he began to develop a system that rapidly builds fluency in short, daily sessions. In 2010, his efforts paid off. He learned French to fluency in 5 months, and then Russian in 10 months.

Born in Los Angeles, he graduated summa cum laude in 2007 from the University of Southern California with dual degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Vocal Arts Performance, and was awarded the Renaissance Scholar’s prize for excellence in unrelated disciplines. He then moved to Vienna to pursue triple Master’s degrees at the Konservatorium Wien in Opera, Lieder and Voice, and graduated with honors in 2011.

Currently learning Japanese, hes learned Hungarian and Spanish over the last few years. His book on language learning – Fluent Forever: How to learn any language fast and never forget it – was published on August 5, 2014 (Harmony/Random House). His most recent project has been the development of a new language learning tool, which became the most successful Kickstarter for an app in history in September of 2017.

Что вы чувствуете, глядя на просторную комнату, где из вещей только место для сна, столик, шкаф для одежды и икебана в специально отведённом месте?

Вероятнее всего, спокойствие. Так традиционно жили японцы. Так может жить каждый из нас: минимализм – это не только стиль в дизайне интерьера.

Минимализм это культура и стиль жизни.

Автор бестселлера Сара Найт в своём юмористическом выступлении «Магия пофигизма» рассказывает о «методе не-сожаления»: как прекратить тратить время на те вещи, которые вы не хотите делать.

После пятнадцати лет работы в лучших книжных издательствах Нью-Йорка Сара Найт начала работать на себя. С тех пор её книга «Сегодня я уволилась (и ты сможешь!)» стала очень популярной, а её книга «Магия пофигизма, меняющая жизнь: как перестать тратить время, которого у вас нет, делая вещи, которые вам не нравятся, с людьми, которые вам неинтересны» стала бестселлером.

После побега из корпоративной культуры её становление как «невольного анти-гуру» продолжилось, когда она с мужем переехала в Лас-Терренас в Доминиканской Республике. В своей новой книге Сара объясняет «как взять себя в руки и перестать волноваться о том, что вам следует сделать, чтобы закончить то, что нужно сделать, и начать наконец делать то, что вам нравится». Сара с отличием закончила Гарвардский университет по специальности английская и американская литература.

Это выступление записано на мероприятии TEDx, независимо организованном местным сообществом с использованием формата конференций TED. Узнайте больше на ted.com/tedx

لتبدأ الرِحلة…
لتهرب من الواقِع وتقصِد السفَر فمن المؤكد أنك تبحثُ عن الراحة…
والطائرة التي ربما تحلق قبل أن تكمل اجراءاتك…
ألست بحاجةٍ لحلٍ يجعلُك آمِناً من المنزِل حتى الطائرة ؟

أو ربما وأنت عائد للوطن بعد طول غياب ، ونسيت المعالم والطرق ، وتخوّفت من أن تتوه وسط الشوارع و عناء إجراءات الوصول!
ما رأيُك أن تستقبلك سيارة ، ويكمل عنك فريق كل اجراءاتك ، ونأخذك لوجهتك دون عناء أو مشقة…

ماذا عن المرضى في الانتظار، واكمال الاجراءات…

Can a person overcome the most difficult moments of their life? Amy Downs shows how people can not only survive, but how they can thrive if they have a hopeful mindset. The pathway of hope leads to all people creating a better future. Amy Downs was one of the last survivors to be pulled from the rubble of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing in which a total of 168 people were killed including 18 of her 33 co-workers. While buried alive and waiting to die, she realized she had never really lived. She began her career as a teller 32 years ago working for Federal Employees Credit Union located in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. At the time of the bombing, Downs was a credit card loan officer who flunked out of college and weighed more than 350 pounds. In the coming years, she’d not only lose 200 pounds, but become a triathlete—and even compete in an Ironman Triathlon. She’d not only go back to school, but she’d graduate with a Masters of Business Administration. She’d not only get promoted by Federal Employees Credit Union (who would soon change their name to Allegiance Credit Union) but she eventually became its CEO—an award winning CEO, no less.

In this 2020 TEDxSeattle talk, Jodi-Ann Burey explores the nuances of what professionals of color and other underrepresented groups face when they are told to “bring your authentic self to work.” Many who do so may face backlash when navigating company cultures designed around white privilege, exposing themselves to penalties for not conforming to the dominant culture. Burey calls for people of color and other underrepresented people to focus their energies on realizing their own imaginations for racial justice on their terms. Separately, Burey outlines steps toward achieving more equitable and just workplaces, and implores company leadership and people with privilege to accept accountability for changing their cultures.

2:49 — “Professionalism” as code for white cultural norms and standards
6:44 — How authenticity masks the need for systemic change
9:30 — Shares how gaslighting works to deny the realities of people of color at work
11:34 — Explains the work people of color have to do to mask themselves at work
12:54 — A call to action for people of color to create their own spaces for authenticity
13:19 — A call for those with power and privilege to take on the work of changing workplace culture
