being connected

my name is christina lorenz and I have always lived in the "LAX"608 area!

my take

I truly think the main message sent in with TED is learning that everthing and everyone is a resource for ideas.Raising resilency in children will last a lifetime and when children learn that mistakes are only learning experiences from which to grow .....the sky is the only limit and they could even strive beyond that!

When I try to think about life and what is most important it would be to embrace the here and now! I am always trying to find capture" THE BLUE MOMENT". Basically to me that means that the here and now in this very moment is the only time that truly matters. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come.If we are always remembering yesterday or dreaming towards the future we may never enjoy today. Stuck in the past and planning for the future somehow seems to take away from or discredit this very time in our life. This blog, this conversation, this smile, this sunrise, this embrace, this kiss all and all is all there really is!ENJOY THIS VERY SECOND IN YOUR LIFE AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS TO LIVE IN LOVE!

Ted

                                                       
Looking in on the tinkering school with eyes wide open,I felt a sentimental pull. Children need to feel that there is no limit to the things they can accomplish when they put their minds and hands together.The children find themselves capable and find value in their own and others abilities.Their is a message sent at the Tinkering School that the children who attend will hold onto for a lifetime.The message is simple. That they themselves can actually build things that work and of course,sometimes don't. They learn that with every step they make it is one more step towards the successful completion of a project or a learning from their mistakes moment.They learn that success is in the making and problems become solutions.                             All materials are there for their usage,whether for decoration or an essential part for a wheel for a racecar for without wouldn't work.Ideas are for spreading and putting their minds togetherthey can make or do anything.What the children gain from this that  all possibilities are endless.                   I think they could rename the school  to Empowering No Limits!
