15 years,100’s of Funerals, 1000’s of stories.. and just a few short sentences that have changed my life forever. Even in this modern world, the most powerful teaching device is still the story. Stories are easy to remember and have the ability to get to the subtle points of life in a way that facts and figures can’t reach.
An observer of life, Jeff Gould often notices things that can benefit and instruct, and most often they are encased in a story. Jeff is not rich or famous, and does not wish to be. He is married, with a wife, four daughters and a mortgage. He is an everyday man who has met some remarkable people and learned some things that just may be helpful to you, if you have the time to learn This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

He needs a fair bit of polishing, but his instincts are sound. A few DEEP breaths beforehand, maybe... or a Valium. A talk like that is not what one should hype themselves up for, just prior. Instead, he should approach it like it is something he HAS to do, but doesn't really want to.
