I've been following the concept for several years now. I've watched most of the available talks, and I believe that TED has influenced and helped me develop and become who I am today. I deeply believe in spreading good ideas and giving back to the community. Ive been spreading TED ideas inside my community for several years now, quoting speakers and pointing people to watch the talks, but I've come to the conclusion that as long as it is not available in their native language, people wont pay enough attention. I have a busy schedule, and I decided to start with a very short talk, just to see if I can do it. I hope, I will be able to contribute more, and inspire more people to join these efforts. I've been in the audience on 6 TEDx conferences, and lately gave my first TEDx talk at TEDxYouth@Belgrade
