Hamdi Ulukaya : The anti-CEO playbook

Hamdi UlukayaatTED2019  (transcript)
The anti-CEO playbook
Summary
People who are employees think that the CEO is a great man who runs companies, has big stocks, and gets big money.
However, the title puts the word "Anti that means to oppose" in front of the great CEO. The speaker explains that costly businesses and working for shareholders should be over.

The reasons that the business exists are that there are not shareholders but consumers who buy its company’s products willingly, there are employees who want to create products for them, and the company must be in the best position on the world problems that are gun violence, climate change, race and so on.
The anti-CEO playbook that was written about them is a new business book for our new generation.

‘Now I Am Speaking to the Whole World.’ How Teen Climate Activist Greta Thunberg Got Everyone to Listen
Summary
I feel angry and disappointed not to be announced the news and not to know about her.
There has been a girl who is 15 teen years old and who sits with emblazoned School Strike for Climate alone every Friday. She absences herself from school but there had been no audiences there that time.
She becomes said as teen Climate Activist, her movement has attracted attention, her picture has been on the cover of TIME magazine and the world is finally starting to listen to her.

She says, “We live still in an existential crisis but we have to start doing to avoid a climate and ecological breakdown today.”
Adults must feel very bad, though, the warning will be paid by young people. Furthermore, she says, “When l grow up, l want to be able to look back and say that I did everything I could".

I think that adults must still think that they didn't do anything they could, thus we have to start doing immediately.

Words in the story
emblazon /verb/ conspicuously inscribe or display (a design) on something.

The speech by Greta Thunberg at COP24 in Katowice

COP24, the speech by 15-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg everyone should listen to  (transcript)
My comments
A few days ago, l read one TED talks: The crisis of leadership - and a new way forward which introduced some new leads, I unintentionally searched them because I didn't know them completely, and I found the speech in which a girl talked about her action with understandable English.
Furthermore, she said that I've just thought about. 
It's that the population of Sweden is less than Japan and it means that tieing and bundling is easy, but it's not relating to doing something for our problem of climate change.
It's right, everyone must know and a small child is telling adults who have great positions and big money and who is said as leaders.

I have one more thought that producing much stuff leads to useing mush energy. Deadstock is not needed and the necessary money is only that I can live today.

Halla Tómasdóttir : The crisis of leadership — and a new way forward

Halla Tómasdóttir and Bryn FreedmanatTED Salon: U.S. Air Force  (transcript)
The crisis of leadership — and a new way forward
Summary
I was sorry to think that Iceland was a small country when the speaker has just introduced a teen climate activist as a new leader.

The generation that the leaders have authority, power, social positions companies, and money should be an end. It's not sustainable and it's risky because it means that to continue doing without the right thing.
The speaker explains that our definition of success is incredibly masculine, financial profit, economic growth but those have the climate crisis, the crisis of inequality and the crisis of trust.  We have to release those leaders who have a crisis of leadership.

A new way is that there's a leader inside every single one of us. Just we think that we don't have power, though, we have.  It's doing a little bit more and independently with each other.

Matt Walker : Sleep is your superpower

Matt Walker at TED2019  (transcript)
Sleep is your superpower
Summary
When l’ve heard that the study was researched by moon-shot, l don't think that l want to write my summary. It's because l always feel that they don't love their studies, l've heard that they now study about cancer, thus they must just tie it and sleep.
I think that the things that should be solved are why sleep loss is epidemic and why no one exaggerates about their deep sleep.
I think that, of course, you know and the previous story also tells, the thing that sleeping is lazy is planted deeply and actions that we wake up are always watched. If a great performer is asked his performances, he doesn't say the reason has deep sleep. We can't have the same deed sleep, it can't be measured and if it's the same, we can't do the same great performances also. Even if you feel about your deep great sleep in the morning, bad external factors might destroy it.
We think that the reason is not sleeping loss, whether we could do something or not or even if we are sleep deprived, we watch about something was done.

However, l don't wait to get sleep every day. When I go to bed, l can fall into profound sleep immediately without thinking about my homework.
Sorry to get on my soapbox.

I just wanted to use it because the speaker used it also.

Words in the story
deprive /verb/ deny (a person or place) the possession or use of something.

Russell Foster : Why do we sleep?

Russell Foster at TEDGlobal 2013  (transcript)
Why do we sleep?
Summary
It'll be easy to understand thinking at first why the question of why we sleep appears.
It's because we tend to think that we don't do anything while we are asleep. We want to play games, to watch TV and to read books and so on, though, we have to sleep. Furthermore, in the past, Thomas Edison seemed to say that sleep was a criminal waste of time.

However,  there has been the prophetic words that sleep was the gold chain that ties health and our bodies together so sleep is an incredibly important part of our biology in fact.

Sleep is thought as a source of restoration 1) and energy conservation 2).  it's intuitive. It's thought that brain processing and memory consolidation. 3) It means when we are tired and we lack sleep, we have poor memory, poor creativity, and poor judgment. Being tired leads you to sickness and having stresses. Sustaining stress associates with sleep loss but it leads to suppressing immunity and weight gain.

It can be said that for making our lovely day, sleep is important.

Words in this story
slumber /noun/ a sleep.
consolidation /noun/ merger, combination, union,
prophetic /adj/ accurately describing or predicting what will happen in the future.
restoration /noun/ recovery
conservation /noun/ preservation

Emperor Akihito abdicates with prayer for peace as Heisei Era ends

The Japan Times
Emperor Akihito abdicates with prayer for peace as Heisei Era ends (article)
Summary
On May 1, 2019, the Reiwa Era that is the new Japanese era name begins. It means that by Japanese unique emperor systems as the symbol of the state,  the imperial is succeeded and the abdication by a living Japanese monarch has been the first since 1817. It’s big differences because the Heisei Era commenced following the death of Emperor Hirohito who experienced  World War 2 and by the abdication, we could receive gracious words from Emperor Akihito.

I think that this is the best time when we have to think about our responsibility of Japanese so Emperor prays for peace and happiness for all the people in Japan and around the world and we, citizens of the world, have to carve out our bright future.

Words in this story
Emperor Hirohito of Showa Era, Emperor Akihito of Heisei Era, Emperor Naruhito of Reiwa Era
reign /noun/ rule, government, a period of rule, a period of time that a particular government is in control.
abdication /noun/ act of relinquishing office or power, resignation
monarch /noun/ hereditary sovereign, sole ruler, king, queen
deity /noun/ God

Hannah Gadsby : Three ideas. Three contradictions. Or not.

Hannah Gadsby at TED2019  (transcript)
Three ideas. Three contradictions. Or not
Summary
The speaker told us that three ideas were lies in the talk.

The speaker was a comedian who was struggling with her own identity.
Unable to tell it and other anxieties that she was being laughed to audiences and her grandmother made her quit being the comedian.  She wanted to tell her true story without comedy thus she created “Nanette” program, though, she is after all her speaking with comedy.

She mustn't want to use a comedy way, she mustn't want to tell her identity, and she mustn't want to share laughs. She sees contradictions in those.
She shares her pain and somehow the best way is to do with a comedy.

In our life, the most difficult thing might be knowing about ourselves because we don't want to understand contradictions.

Harald Eia : Where in the world is it easiest to get rich?

Harald Eia at TEDxOslo
Where in the world is it easiest to get rich?  (transcript)
Summary
The answer must be what many people want to know and the speaker tells us that Scandinavia is the best place. It's because not only he is a Scandinavian but also the social democracies of the country give free higher education to everybody and Scandinavia is being a breeding place.

For example, in America, Japan and called other economic power, there are many rich people, though, it's difficult to be rich from now because education is very high and there are many people who are working to take your money in the banks, supermarkets, and even restrooms.

A breeding place means there are people who can think that replacing working people with machines, 1) holding back the highest salaries of older workers, 2) and increasing the productivity of a society. 3)

The country can be said where the welfare state and the unions work in tandem with capitalist dynamics.

In Japan, people, especially politicians and elder think about only money that they can get and Japanese education is only to memorize. I think that for the place, important things are that a nation thinks to create a great country and they don't say that a president and a prime minister are wrong.

Words in this story
breed /verb/ cause (an animal) to produce offspring, typically in a controlled and organized way.
tandem /noun/ a bicycle with seats and pedals for two riders, one behind the other.

Evan Williams : The voices of Twitter users

Evan Williams at TED2009  (transcript)
The voices of Twitter users
Summary
This talk was told by a co-founder of Twitter excitedly. Still, there were people who didn't know Twitter was based around a very simple and seemingly trivial concept. In 140 characters or less, people can send messages on what they are doing and people who are interested in them can get those. The fundamental idea is that Twitter lets people share moments of their lives whenever they want and feel connections in touch, despite a distance, in real time. It made many people including me excited.  It led to volunteers, businesses, raising money, even politicians started to use Twitter, and building an application programming interface. It's spreading rapidly and excitedly and people and even cofounders had a hope what will next with Twitter fascinatingly.

I was encouraged to know that there were not only Japanese people but also many people in the world who studied English from Twitter. No one had thought that the platform was filled with not healthy conversations in the near future.

Jack Dorsey : How Twitter needs to change

Jack Dorsey at TED2019
How Twitter needs to change  (transcript)
Summary
I think that the title must be wrong and what needs to change must be us who are Twitter users when I've finished reading the article.

The story started about recent tweets on the platform of Twitter but it's not healthy conversations including abuse, harassment, manipulation, misinformation, and so on.

The opinions of audiences and curators are that the platform of Twitter needs to change, it's gotten much advertisement charge, and the company is said to be successful, but it's not successful. The company should serve more healthy and comfortable platform.

The speaker "Jack Dorsey" who is the CEO of Twitter and a founder said to require stopping something in the past and to thinking how the framework should work and what is needed for the world today. In particular, it's going to change detection of abuse words and displaying the follower, retweet count, and the button "likes".

However, even Chris Anderson has said that misinformation on Twitter will affect democracy that is at stake, though, I have thought that the reason that democracy is at stake won't be Twitter conversations. It's at stake from the beginning, it's only conspicuous, people must want excuses, and the world is changing quickly more than we think. By we growing and learning about the world, Twitter must turn for the better.
I  found one TED story that was told about ten years ago and it must be read after reading this. ↓
