LOVE LETTERS from TED.com

The title is LOVE LETTERS
 but it has nothing to do with VALENTINE'S.
This is such a great and encouraging act of kindness!
It reminds me of PAYING IT FORWARD!
It's a 'feel-good' talk!

 As you are listening, you can also follow along  
with transcript, just on right below video on TED.com
LISTEN to it a few repeated times|
Each time give yourself a different goal or objective,
like: LISTENING for the contractions, or to the intonation, ...
The vocabulary or expressions you can SAVE for LAST!!!
There are many aspects you can listen to ... JUST DO IT!!!
