Dream superpower of speaking any language

Dream superpower of speaking any language

In anticipation of TEDxYerevan 2012, our team has decided to conduct interviews with some of our previous speakers. Here is the first in the series, ladies and gentlemen, we give you TEDxYerevan 2011 speaker Stepan Khzrtian.

If you could be a superhero, what would you want your superpowers to be?
I am inspired by language and communication, and I would want to have the superpower of speaking any language. After all, in the beginning was the Word. And of course, I’d like to fly. Preferably business class (yeah right).

Who has been the biggest influence on your life? What lessons did that person teach you?
My parents. They have taught me discipline and humility. (I kinda just ruined the “humility” part, didn’t I?)

What makes you angry?
When people ask me what makes me angry. Ironically, right now I’m smiling. And so are you…?…

Vahé Berberian on falling in love

Fall in love with the concept, with the project. Fall in love with the person. Love does some strange things. It rekindles so many emotions. Don’t be afraid of pain. Pain is important, it makes you get out of your emotional coma. It makes you feel alive.

TEDxYerevan 2012: What to Expect?

Just like for the past two years, the event, licensed by TED, is self-organized by volunteers, who believe in the power of sharing ideas, hoping that TEDxYerevan 2012 becomes a local forum for ideas within community that inspires people to change their lives, their futures and ultimately their world.
