An idea worth spreading
“Pretend your time is worth $1,000/hr. Would you spend five of them doing extra work for free? Would you waste one on being angry?” -Niklas Göke
If you let it, your world and the people around you will take all your time. Your time is not unlike your paycheck; if you don’t budget for things, you’ll have nothing left over by the end of the month.

The TED story
For me TED talks played an important role in my self-development first. I never thought that one day I will be able to organize such a event in my city. It started as a random big dream without any concrete steps to make it come true. I love my city and together with our volunteers we managed to bring even more inspiration to it through our TEDxKaleici event. Never listen to those who tell you to not be a dreamer. Work hard and make your dreams come true - just as we did!
