Finally, there had better be a reason why you are giving the speech. What this means is that you are going to have to wrap your speech up with a takeaway for your audience. How do you want to feel when your speech is done? What action do you want them to take because they heard your speech? Be very, very clear about this and wrap-up your speech so that it will happen.



Audience members go through an application process to be admitted. They also pay approximately $6,000 annually for a membership, which is why TED has also been accused of being elitist. An accusation that they acknowledge is partly true. Aside from the application and fee, there is also a limit on how many tickets can be sold. They generally limit it to 1500. Combine all these factors, and you create a craze.

Might it now be time to openly question the value of a college education? With the walloping non-stop increase in tuition costs, it sure seems like we've entered an education bubble that will leave many in mega debt with no prospect for even an ho-hum career. Latest reports indicate that 53% of recent college grads are either unemployed or working at a job that does not require a college degree. There are more than 100,000 janitors in the U.S. with college degrees and 16,000 parking lot attendants.

Jessica enters the What Not to Wear 360 room with here "regular" clothes, and her own red hair pulled into a knot on top of her head. It's like a superhero without her costume, as Jessica says she feels awkward and unattractive in normal outfits.

Speaker preparation is rigorous, and speakers can't bring notes and read from any papers. Speakers can't use the TED talk to promote what they have to sell. The goal is choosing speakers that focus on changing the world. So they can't be speaking about a book they wrote to try to sell you copies, for example.

A rough-hewn version of these ideas might go like this: past behaviour is usually a good predictor of future behaviour. So if a particular virus behaves a certain way with 30 individuals, we can assume it will behave the same way with 300. Epidemiologists identify these patterns and give their findings to people who develop medicines, preventative protocols and health policies across the board.

The experience of seeing my mother through her health crisis has forced me to re-orient myself to the world. And one of the reasons I like so many of the Join the TED discussion is that I hear aspects of my struggle in them. They help me make sense of all the tumult and upheaval, that sense that I'm no longer walking around with a safety net under me. It's also why I like the ideas my 12-stepping friends have, like the one that says we must examine our lives with "rigorous honesty" if we are to live in reality and not be victims of wishful thinking. That means I have to look at my responsibilities directly. I have to acknowledge that in many situations not speaking up can be worse. I have to know that not acknowledging the elephant in the room means I may have to live with it for a long time.

Many families would do well to consider other types of post-secondary education for their kids. Perhaps learning a marketable trade is the way to go. There will always be a need for auto mechanics, electricians, carpenters, beauticians, make-up artists, and workers with other hands-on skills. These jobs will not disappear and cannot be shipped overseas. Or, one might consider investing in a small business or franchise. Become an entrepreneur. Pursue your culinary skills. Follow your artistic dreams. Or, attend college not as a four year vacation with beer parties, drug parties, hooking up and easy courses as the main attraction. But pursue your degree with the primary goal of learning marketable skills.
