Angela Maiers is an education and technology consultant from Des Moines, Iowa who shares with us how two words can change a life.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Thank you so much for such an inspirational talk! It got me wondering wether my children and my wife know just how significant they are and if i'm helping, as an educator, to unleash their power to change the world.

    Again, thank you so much.

    If we want to have any value to the words "you matter" that means the person needs to do something that earns those words. If the default position is we all matter - well then those words just lost a lot of meaning

    We might be insignificant to the course of history in the galaxy, but to the world we live in with the people we live among, we are enormously significant. Many times you may not be able to see it, but you never know.

    That is my point - too many stupid people are crapping out more stupid people and repeating the cycle. Ironically - responsible intelligent people are holding back in the making babies dept - so we are creating a society that creates retards breeding retards
