TEDxBoston - Christina Xu - The Importance of Being Awesome

"Without joy the Awesome Foundation would be the Cheap and Efficient Foundation, which is a lot less catchy."

Christina Xu is a trustee of the Awesome Foundation founded in Boston by 10 friends. Now with chapters worldwide, the independent, self-funded foundation awards $1,000 grants monthly to small projects they deem "awesome".

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)

I love the fact that there are still people out there who dare to go against the tide of apathy that is so widespread among us humans. You are rewarding creativity and empathy. The world needs a whole lot more people like you.

Rock the f**k on.
