can learn a lot from the perspective of a child… yet maturely knowing that not everything is to be silly or to be laughed about… But I also realize there’s a good chance if I accepted others exactly the way they are and appreciated them for that fact alone… and accepted life, more often, on life’s terms… there is a good chance I would laugh and enjoy life and people a whole lot more!! Studies have shown that laughter causes the body to release endorphins which help keep us healthier. Just like Proverbs says: “laughter is ‘good medicine’ it refreshes the soul”!!! I am so grateful God has given us children as good Role Models to enjoy the simple pleasures of life and laugh a little more often along the way!!! Coach Rick Andreassen, Founder and president, SAINTS Homeschool P.E. And SAINTS International Sports Ministry If an opportunity to give a TED Talk was offered to you, you would want to make sure your topic was something interesting that you had some success with. Because I have 47 years of experiencing one, my talk would be on Family Businesses. The dynamics of personality and skill sets are always key factors of making any business work. However, shared vision and values, strong communication and succession planning are even more important in family businesses. Since my entire business career has been involved in a family business, which is now turning 100 years old, I think I could keep the audience’s attention who are interested in family businesses for at least the 18 minute TED Talk. Romney C. Rogers, Managing Partner, Rogers, Morris & Ziegler, LLP I'd be interested in exploring the ethics of amateur golf. On the one hand, the rules are important, but for a mediocre golfer (e.g. yours truly), they can cause major frustration at the expense of enjoying the game. Shifting the ball out of a bad lie, granting a mulligan (or two, or three), etc. If it's just a round with friends or solo (as I prefer), what's the right balance between law and grace on the golf course? Scott Manor, Ph.D., President | Professor of Historical Theology, Knox Theological Seminary If I were tasked to give a TED Talk on a random topic outside of the gospel that I preach almost every week, it would be on the benefits of CrossFit. I have been doing CrossFit since 2011, and there are so many benefits that you learn from it beyond the exercise and health benefits. Some of the lessons are getting through difficult workouts with a plan of a specific weight, reps, etc. to be able to finish. This has helped me in studying for and passing licensing exams for work and even in moments in the church where things seem difficult, but the more you do them, learn from others and break it up, what looks impossible can be possible with a plan. One of my favorite quotes is “It always seems impossible, until it is done.” CrossFit parallels life when trying to achieve what the world may say is impossible by proving it can be possible with God and a plan. Steve Daigle, Campus Pastor, Calvary Chapel Parkland I have always been a huge baseball fan. Growing up in New York Yankees versus Mets. I’m a Met fan and proud of it. I would always dream of going behind the scenes in the locker room and just understanding all the non-public things that go on. I would love to do a TED Talk, attend a TED Talk, and be part of it to see all that happens behind the scenes.
