"…I brought these two bottles of nail polish into the laboratory, and I stripped the labels off. And I brought women into the laboratory, and I asked them, “Which one would you pick?” 50 percent of the women accused me of playing a trick, of putting the same color nail polish in both those bottles. At which point you start to wonder who the trick’s really played on. Now of the women that could tell them apart, when the labels were off, they picked “Adorable,” and when the labels were on they picked “Ballet Slippers.” So as far as I can tell, a rose by any other name probably does look different and maybe even smells different."

- From the very last bit of this TedTalk. Take that Shakespeare!!!

"Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have."

- Heard in the TEDTalk Chip Conley: Measuring What Makes Life Worthwhile, and originally from The Real Enjoyment of Living by Rabbi Hyman Judah Schachtel.

This is really fascinating. Almost every TED talk seems to be great.
