I would have had pen and paper for everyone, so we could follow along with Graham. I believe everyone can draw with practice. This was pretty fun to watch, and I did draw Spike while I was doodling at home. It even looked like Spike!<\/p>\n<p>At the end of his Talk, Graham talks a bit about &#8220;limiting beliefs&#8221;. It reminded me of this post by Eric Barker:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bakadesuyo.com\/2018\/01\/beliefs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Changing These 4 Beliefs Will Make You Surprisingly Happy<\/a>\u00a0that you might find interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Graham has a second talk &#8220;How to draw to remember more&#8221; that I haven&#8217;t watched yet, but I will&#8230; if I remember.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to draw to remember more | Graham Shaw | TEDxVienna\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gj3ZnKlHqxI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4>Why some of us don&#8217;t have one true calling<br \/>\nEmilie Wapnick | TEDxBend<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Emilie Wapnick: Why some of us don&#039;t have one true calling\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.ted.com\/talks\/emilie_wapnick_why_some_of_us_don_t_have_one_true_calling\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I was really interested in Emilie&#8217;s talk, and saw myself (a bit) in her description of &#8220;multipotentialites&#8221;. Mostly because at the ripe old age of 50-ish I don&#8217;t really know what I want to be when I grow up. I&#8217;m holding out for the idea that if I haven&#8217;t grown up by 60, I won&#8217;t have to. Thank goodness I have a job where I get to do many different things, but I kind of like Emilie&#8217;s description of finding one thing, diving in until, well, you basically get bored, then moving on to the next thing. I often feel too spread out over all my interests! Ah well, it&#8217;s not a terrible problem to have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this TED Talk Lunch we joined forces with our Systems Fun Committee&#8217;s Dine-In team.
