When I am sad or disappointed or depressed, when things are not going in the way I hoped they would go, when my problems seem big, important, unsolvable, I do two things: I look at art and I watch TED. Both make me feel better, but TED helps me regain perspective. TED makes me see the bigger picture, turning my problems into manageable, insignificant bumps down the road. TED makes me more determined than ever. I owe TED a huge debt of gratitude for how much better it makes me feel.
