May is the beginning of the graduation season for many colleges and high schools throughout the US. While deciding what physical gift to buy that special graduate in your life, consider including the gift of some good solid advice. A nonprofit organization called TED (Technology, Education & Design) is a great resource for such advice. TED is devoted to spreading ideas in the form of TED Talks, which are powerful presentations usually 18 minutes in length or less. TED.com put together their Top 5 Graduation … Now What? TED Talks to share important life advice with those who are graduating. Take a listen, this is really great advice for everyone!
