EMMA WATSON's HE FOR SHE UN SPEECH
Watch videovideo subtitled in Spanish and read
Earlier this summer, fresh from college graduation, Emma Watson, was named a U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador.
The actress gave an impassioned speech on feminism and gender at the U.N. headquarters in New York this weekend to launch the “HeForShe” campaignwhich aims to galvanize one billion men and boys as advocates for ending the inequalities that women and girls face globally.
Watson’s speech, which was met with a thunderous standing ovation, not only called for action from male allies, but clarified a persistent misconception about feminism in general. She said:
(source:Vanity Fair)I decided I was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Apparently I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, anti-men and, unattractive.

“Being shy and being introverted are not necessarily one and the same thing,” says Harvard-trained psychotherapist and author Katherine Crowley.

Here are some interesting Tips

The 7 characteristics of highly effective people who give TED talks
This is a link to Chris Bailey's post about " The 7 characteristics of highly effective people who give TED talks"
According to Chris The people who speak at TED:
see limits differently, care a ton about just one thing, can see how
their work fits into the bigger picture, are insanely curious, lead
‘tribes’, are crazy, and work unbelievably hard.
"Throughout my productivity experiment-continues Chris Bailey- to watch 70 hours of TED talks the other week, I couldn’t help but think about the characteristics that presenters at TED conferences share.
Speakers at TED are at the top of their game, and are no doubt some of the most productive people out there. Here are the 7 habits of highly effective people who give TED talks!"
ENJOY ;D!
