亲爱的三目君：
一、 TED介绍
TED（指technology, entertainment, design在英语中的缩写，即技术、娱乐、设计）是美国的一家私有非营利机构，该机构以它组织的TED大会著称。TED诞生于1984年，其发起人是里查德·沃曼。每年3月，TED大会在美国召集众多科学、设计、文学、音乐等领域的杰出人物，分享他们关于技术、社会、人的思考和探索。志愿者会将TED演讲的视频翻译之后加上字幕，放到TED的官方网站供人们免费观看。TED演讲的主题并不仅仅局限于技术、娱乐和设计。事实上，科学、教育、发展、文化、商业、艺术等等话题也经常出现。演讲中也会穿插一些艺术家的表演。
二、 TEDxGDUF介绍
TEDx是由TED于2009年推出的一个项目，旨在鼓励各地的TED粉丝自发组织TED风格的活动。TEDxGDUF是基于广东金融学院建立的，由美国TED官方授权的TEDx组织。
三、选题介绍——《你什么意思》（WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, and HOW ARE YOU?）
如果2012真的是世界末日，你是否會堅持你正堅持的一切，直到世界盡頭？如果明天世界行將毀滅，你是否還能毫無悔恨地微笑，直到合上雙眼？你的生活，有意思嗎？
所以，你什麼意思？
每天穿西裝打領帶，閉著眼睛鑽入擁擠的地鐵，是誰的意思？每天刷微博打瞌睡，從一個昏昏欲睡的課室倒向下一個，是誰的意思？
所以，你什麼意思？
我們相信，有這樣一群人，每天的生活於他們而言，不是被迫的按部就班，而是主動地迎接挑戰。我們相信，有這樣一群人，面對冷眼與懷疑，他們不願放棄更沒有悔恨。我們相信，每個人都能成為這樣的人。
所以，你什麼意思？
On TED
TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds:
Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader.
Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer
TED includes the award--winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.
The two annual TED conferences, in Long Beach/Palm Springs and Edinburgh, Scotland, bring together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers,
who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes or less).
On TED.com, we make the best talks and performances from TED and partners available to the world, for free.
More than 1200 TEDTalks are now available, with more added each week.
All of the talks are subtitled in English, and many are subtitled in various languages.
These videos are released under a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND license, so they can be freely shared and re-posted.
Our mission: Spreading ideas.
We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world.
So we're building here a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers,
and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other. This site, launched April 2007, is an ever-evolving work in progress, and you're an important part of it. Have an idea? We want to hear from you.
The springtime TED Conference is held annually in Long Beach and simulcast in Palm Springs. More than a thousand people attend, and the breadth of content includes science, business, the arts and the global issues facing our world. Over four days, 50 speakers each take an 18-minute slot, and there are many shorter presentations, including music, performance and comedy. There are no breakout groups. Everyone shares the same experience. It shouldn't work, but it does. It works because all of knowledge is connected. Every so often it makes sense to emerge from the trenches we dig for a living, and ascend to a 30,000-foot view, where we see, to our astonishment, an intricately interconnected whole.
TEDActive features a live simulcast of the Long Beach conference, in Palm Springs, with an emphasis on connection, conversation and creation.
TEDGlobal is TED's summer conference. The themes of the global conference are slightly more international in nature, and the full TED format is maintained, with a wide-ranging roster of speakers and performers over four days of TED main-stage sessions -- plus the famous TED University, where attendees share their own knowledge with one another.
TEDGlobal was held in Oxford, UK, in 2005, 2009 and 2010, and in Arusha, Tanzania, in 2007. TEDGlobal is now held annually in Edinburgh, Scotland.
TED also hosts events around the globe. TEDIndia was held in November 2009 in Mysore, India, celebrating and exploring the beckoning future of South Asia. TEDWomen was held in December 2010 in Washington, DC, asking the question: How are women and girls reshaping the future? TED also hosts smaller events around the globe, including many TED Salons, evening-length events with speakers and performers, and TED@ events, exploring a topic or location.
The TED Prize is designed to leverage the TED Community's exceptional array of talent and resources. It is awarded annually to an exceptional individual who receives $100,000 and, much more important, the granting of "One Wish to Change the World." After several months of preparation, the wish is unveiled at an award ceremony held during the TED Conference. Over the life of the prize, wishes have led to collaborative initiatives with far-reaching impact.
TEDTalks began as a simple attempt to share what happens at TED with the world. Under the moniker "ideas worth spreading," talks were released on-line. They rapidly attracted a global audience in the millions. Indeed, the reaction was so enthusiastic that the entire TED website has been re-engineered around TEDTalks, with the goal of giving everyone on-demand access to the world's most inspiring voices.
The TED Fellows program helps world-changing innovators from around the globe become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities. TED Fellows, TEDGlobal Fellows, and TED Senior Fellows are drawn from many disciplines that reflect the diversity of TED's members: technology, entertainment, design, the sciences, the humanities, the arts, NGOs, business and more.
The TEDx program gives communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level. TEDx events are planned and coordinated independently.
The TED Open Translation Project brings TEDTalks beyond the English-speaking world by offering subtitles, interactive transcripts and the ability for any talk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. We launched the project with 300 translations, 40 languages and 200 volunteer translators; one year on, there are more than 21,000 completed translations from our thousands-strong community. It's an ambitious project that radically enhances the accessibility of the talks -- for the hearing-impaired, for those who speak English as a second language, for search engines (which can now index the full transcript of a talk), and of course for the vast audience of non-English speakers worldwide.
Today, TED is best thought of as a global community. It's a community welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world.
WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, and HOW ARE YOU?
Why we chose this theme.
If you knew the end of the world was near, would you continue living your life thesame way you've been living it?
If tomorrow was your last day to live, could you close your eyes, and without any regrets, say that your life has been satisfying and meaningful?
WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, and HOW ARE YOU?
Everyday you cram yourself into the same crowded subway car, or bus, wearing the same suit you wore the day before.
Is that what you really want? You live life through your emails and tweets, day dreaming about something better.
You drag yourself from one dreary classroom to another wondering "Why am I doing this?".
WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, and HOW ARE YOU?
We believe things can be different.
Why, for some, is life an interesting adventure rather than cliché?
Why, for some, is self doubt, scorn, and indifference, not an option? They keep moving without regrets, never giving a thought to surrendering.
What we do believe is that this kind of life should not only be for some, but for EVERYONE!
WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, and HOW ARE YOU？
