My Life Goal: Composed by Chopin, Expressed by Benjamin Zander

TED talks. You've heard of them. This website is how I occupy my time when I'm feeling too lazy to actually get up and do something, but at the same time, I need to feel productive. 

Yesterday, I had an awkward amount of time between class and institute. Twenty minutes is too short to make any real progress with homework or text book reading, and, besides, it was 9:30 am, so I wasn't really feeling like taking a nap. So, I TEDed. This talk. It was great! And I love what he said, towards the end. "It's not about wealth and fame and power, it's about how many shining eyes I have around me."

I want to inspire people to live up to their potential. I want to empower others. I want "to awaken possibility in other people". 

This is my goal.
