I wish all of them find a life-long friend in books.<br /><br />Do you know that one of the most influential books for me is by an author in your country, "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho? A central idea in that book -- When you follow your dream with all your heart, all the mysterious forces in the universe will conspire to help you -- has become an inspiration for me. Book is one of those forces in the universe. Use it, and use it well.Lisa Bu, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03749023890027959390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480173020080319103.post-31786319316160860922015-04-20T13:58:20.494-05:002015-04-20T13:58:20.494-05:00Hi, Lisa.

They can't live without their smartphones, they think they have all they need in those things. However, when they see your video, they realize that there is a lot to learn from books. Not only school books , the ones they have to read to do an exam, but books about everyone, everything, everywhere... Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience with books. I wish you could drop me a line so I could read it to my students. They would go crazy! Well, my name is Bárbara Oliveira and my email is babkas78@gmail.com<br />Obrigada (Thank you in Portuguese)Babkas Brazilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021654475792660667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480173020080319103.post-19354227035109547662014-08-03T10:38:55.336-05:002014-08-03T10:38:55.336-05:00Hello Lisa, I just watched your TED 'books'...Hello Lisa, I just watched your TED 'books' talk and wanted to say 'thank you'.

As blogger, facebook, youtube etc are blocked in China and a lot of my friends (including my girlfriend) here are not that good in English, I would like to know if you have thought of some way so that your blogs and videos could be shared with them, in Chinese ! It would be nice if you could kindly think about it and if it is already there then plz share the links.<br /><br />保重<br /><br />啊外3dmatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14376135047516695342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480173020080319103.post-10793314206616362162013-06-04T13:34:16.796-05:002013-06-04T13:34:16.796-05:00David,

This <a href="http://blog.ted.com/2013/05/31/your-mega-summer-reading-list-180-books-recommended-by-tedsters/" rel="nofollow">TED blog post</a> includes brief explanation why I picked some books in my talk. It's interesting how people and books meet -- sometimes I find them, sometimes they find me :)<br /><br />Yes, I still listen to my favorite Chinese Opera often and sing along sometimes. I also start to love Western opera through an American friend. She also wanted to become an opera singer but couldn't because of WWII. We've been to several operas together and like to joke: In the next lifetime, we'll be a diva and very arrogant :)<br /><br />Thanks again for your kind message.<br /><br />LisaLisa Bu, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03749023890027959390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480173020080319103.post-34132494485003119212013-06-04T12:52:36.224-05:002013-06-04T12:52:36.224-05:00Lisa,

Definitely filled with ideas "worth sharing." You HAVE honored your parents.... in ways they probably could never have "dreamed of." <br />You did not have enough time in that presentation to also mention what it was that informed those especially rich (good!) helpful book selections. On the surface, I might describe it as "your personal interest" meets the "well known and beloved" --sometimes described as the classics, but that term might seem too academic. If there is more to say about what led you to those particular books, it would be good to share that also,.... or did I miss something in only watching the video once?<br />If you so desire, you could still experience (inhabit?) your childhood dream vicariously by developing a hobby of listening to great Chinese Opera (and singing along?), collecting videos, pictures, props or costumes, etc. or even supporting a local amature chinese opera group. <br /><br /> As you pointed out though, it is through books that we are able to move on from seemingly impossible dreams... to realizable ones and when we outgrow those, to seek out and discover still larger, deeper, more encompassing ones to pursue personally, and then share with others.

There are a few platforms that allow this such as Issuu and YUDU, thereby allowing digital self-publishing to be in the forefront for 2010.

But cost of covering subsequent cities will become less and less because of code reuse and scale of economy. Once the site becomes well known and dominant, the cost can be further reduced because they'll need less effort to convince city governments and organizations to give EveryBlock access to their databases.Lisa Bu, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03749023890027959390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480173020080319103.post-31556074305407542812009-08-18T07:31:20.969-05:002009-08-18T07:31:20.969-05:00Lisa -- you always find great stories to share. t...Lisa -- you always find great stories to share. the EveryBlock info is especially interesting. Again, the question is -- what is the business model. As you note, this would be very expensive to do.
