John Francis - I walk the earthI know I've posted TED as something to watch elsewhere - but this one really deserves a special mention. In his 17 years of silence he travelled thousands of miles and picked up an education (without speaking!!) from nothing to PhD. He said he learned how to 'listen'. Amazing man, with an amazing tale!
| Quote: | | For almost three decades, John Francis has been a planetwalker, traveling the globe by foot and sail with a message of environmental respect and responsibility (for 17 of those years without speaking). A funny, thoughtful talk with occasional banjo. |
