How do you become a school teacher, wedding DJ, minister, life coach and writer? According to Matthew Dicks, saying 'yes' in circumstances where others might not can get you a long way there. In his talk Matt explains why there is no better way to create movement in life than pursuing the myriad opportunities that present themselves, and tells a colorful story of how his life is a product of saying 'yes' as much as possible.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, selforganized events that bring people together to share a TEDlike experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, selforganized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are selforganized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
