Hİ every body! I hope you are all doing fine.
Today, thanks to my dear friend Matt from Istanbul Toastmasters, I discovered an organisation called “the Moth” – a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the telling of real life stories. How exciting is that :-)) In a way, it is very much like TED – we listen to interesting stories, we are amazed, entertained and we learn a lot !
I recommend you to check out THE MOTH’s web-site. if you like a story, please share it with us too! At the bottom of their web page, there is also the story behind why they call themselves “The Moth.” 🙂 It is nice to read too.
And here is an example of a wonderful and extremely entertaining story told at a MOTH meeting: This is the story of Malcolm Gladwell presented at “The Moth” 2009 in New York with the title “Her Way”. Gladwell talks about a wedding toast that went horribly wrong for him and his friends 🙂
A quick note: if you haven’t read the books of Malcolm Gladwell yet, I higly recommend you to do so! It think I read all of his books and they are fantastic. If you decide to read, I suggest that you to start with “Outliers” and then continue with “Blink” and the rest. (They are translated into Turkish too.)
Thank you Isil
Someone told me that Turkey has the highest divorce rate in Europe. Isn’t that curious?
Dear Martin, I did not know that. I will check it out. Yet I am a bit skeptical about that!
