Incredible TED Talk by Rita Pierson Inspiring Educators To Give Their Best

This TED talk by Rita Pierson is not just powerful and inspirational, but also applicable in every endeavor of our lives where we have to work with people. I am not a school teacher (although my parents are both retired from that profession), I found this TED talk appealing to me.

This is the famous speech by the legendary Steve Jobs. This speech has been spoken the most about, watched the most and a few things have been criticized as well.
