Out of the mouths of babes

What would you do for the world with $1 000 000 wish? This year TED raised the stakes. In years past starting in 2005, the TED prize of $100 000 was awarded to 3 candidates who inspired and showed their leadership capabilities with their TED wish. This years TED prize is $1 000 000 which will also give a greater impact to the winning wish.

With the TED prize just a week away from closing nominations it got me to thinking... 'out of the mouths of babes.'

Our children have so much creativity, empathy, compassion and a fresh look at the world without limiting beliefs on what can and can not happen. They see it with new eyes, coming at a problem from very unique ways (as they are not just trying to repeat a previous solution they are starting at the beginning, the whole picture).

I am always so amazed at what kids do come up with when asked (and not asked..) What would they put forward for the TED prize? If they had $1 000 000 how would they use it to make the world a better place, how will they inspire?

This could be a great exploration to ask your child what would be there wish for the world? How would they make it happen? What would they need?

Please share! I would love to hear what these creative thinkers come up with!

And if you know someone who inspires you, has a dream, a passion, a mission (or if you do!) nominate them (or yourself) by August 31st at www.TEDprize.org. You can also join along in the conversation and follow what other people wish for the world...it is quite fun to see all these great innovative ideas in so many areas.  It all starts with inspiration with sparks ideas, community and passion!

    I believe learning is a way of being; a natural, vibrant way of living.  Being open, curious and wondering about the world around us creates such an inner enthusiasm and spark for life. 

    Giving our kids the choice to learn what they love and to expose, expand and challenge themselves is the greatest gift (and skill) we can pass forward. 

    The best place I find to start is myself; to lead by example. When I am inspired and enthusiastic it just spills over to those around me. Find your thirst for learning and seeing the world anew again. Your kids will definitely lead your way and be your inspiration!
