The TED story
Since it is a life of monotony I dread
The confines of a dreary office I fled
I had a great idea in my head
First time round it didn’t work; my heart bled
But the cloak of negativity, I quickly shed
I would not put the idea to bed
“Failure is just success rounded down” as someone said
I am fairly well read and I had to earn my daily bread
So second time round, carefully I did tread
With a great team I led, the good word spread
And here I am, speaking at TED.
Wick-ed.
Things you might not know
TV News.
Some accents.
D.I.Y. and renovation.
Working with children.
Judging people at first sight.
Early Arabic Dubbed Cartoon theme tunes.
