The TED story
My very first TED crush was in 2013 when Bono gave a talk on the progress of world's extreme poverty and global health issues.
In the same year, I've joined the TED Translators and started to translate TED and TEDx talks into Japanese. While translating the talks, I sometimes find myself laughing, weeping, and giving applause in front of my computer. It's been an amazing experience and this is something that I wish to continue to help amplify great ideas around the world.
