These 6 TED talks might change the way you think

Former US First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt had once said, "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." Indeed, we're inclined to agree. On that note, media organization TED has been promoting these "great minds" for three decades now, helping them disseminate their ideas to the wide world. Here, we list 6 disparate, but relatable TED talks that might interest you.

"The Element" author delivered this 19-minute speech in 2006 and talked of schools, creativity, and the co-relation between the two.
