Monica Lewinsky, Tai Lopez and Elizabeth Gilbert all have one amazing thing in common: they have shared their unique insight and knowledge in a TED Talk, to be shared with the world. TED, which stands for Technology, Education and Design, holds an annual conference to share breakthrough ideas about science, English, creativity, global politics and just about everything in between. TED Talks are important because they bring ideas from every corner of the globe together, and then distribute them in the most inspiring and magnificent way. If you've never seen a TED Talk, don't worry, because I'm about to countdown the eleven must-see TED Talks that will inspire you to do just about anything.

11. Scott Young and Vat Jaiswal teach you how to learn any language

In this TED Talk, two young men teach you an invaluable skill: how to learn a language. Not only that, but their technique can be applied to learning any new skill, and it will change your life.

10. Three Questions to unlock your authentic career

For Ashely Stahl, your passion and your career aren't necessarily the same thing. She shares her secrets to finding your authentic career path and her personal story of finding her own authentic career.

9. I'm 17

Being 17 is not something that Kate Simonds is ashamed of, it's something she's empowered by. With the wit and smarts of any older adult, she tells us why age is just a number and your true strengths lie in yourself, not how old you are.

8. How I named, shamed and jailed

In his TED Talk, a journalist from Ghana tells you how his brand of investigative journalism is creating true change for his community and his country, all while not showing you his face and concealing his identity.

7. How to find and do work you love

At TEDx Golden Gate Park, Scott Dinsmore reveals the secrets to finding a job you love, while sharing his personal story and how he chose his career path.

6. How to magically connect with anyone

Brian Miller has a special way of connecting with people, and in this TED Talk, he shares he secrets with you, but it's not what you're expecting.

5. The price of shame

Monica Lewinsky has become one of the most recognizable names in American history, and in this TED Talk she shares how her personal brand of shame has effected her life and why we should all be concerned about how we treat each other online.

4. Plus-size? More like my size.

Ashely Graham has been modeling her entire life, and she has the confidence to prove it, but it's been hard fought. She tells her story and sends her empowering message to all women in this TED Talk.

3. The person you really need to marry...

Tracy McMillan has had a sordid past, and she comes from that to tell you, in her own witty and fun way, what truly matters in all of your relationships-romantic or otherwise.

2. Mel Robbins changes your life in 20 minutes

Mel Robbins is a relationship and life coach who, in this TED Talk, tells you how to get your life together in a way only she can. She demands that you stop "screwing yourself over" and get what you truly want out of life.

1. How to live a rich life with The Minimalists

My personal favorite TED Talk, by The Minimalists, introduces you to a way of life that is rich, satisfying and will give you every thing you ever wanted-for no money at all.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
