"If I should have a daughter, instead of Mom, she's gonna call me Point B ... " began spoken word poet Sarah Kay, in a talk that inspired two standing ovations at TED2011. She tells the story of her metamorphosis -- from a wide-eyed teenager soaking in verse at New York's Bowery Poetry Club to a teacher connecting kids with the power of self-expression through Project V.O.I.C.E. -- and gives two breathtaking performances of "B" and "Hiroshima."

Black pepper is are the still-green unripe berries of the pepper plant, which is a flowering vine, cultivated for its fruit. The berries are cooked briefly in hot water, to clean them and prepare them for drying. The berries are dried in the sun or by machine for several days until the fruit around the seed shrinks and darkens into a thin, wrinkled black layer. Once dried, the fruits are called black peppercorns, which are used as a spice and seasoning. The same fruit is also used to produce white pepper and green pepper.

We become impatient, irritable and may even sabotage our success by acting impulsively. Why? Because, we want what we want when we want it. And quite frankly we are used to getting things we want. We are very competent and capable and know how to get things done. We are great Human DOings!!! But this one area of our life: Career, Relationship, Body seems to be taking longer than expected. The more we squeeze the vice grip of control, manipulate and conspire to force the square peg into the round whole the more we feel the resistance and push back. So, we try another angle and still nothing. Then finally in sheer frustration we decide to stop trying. If our way is not working then maybe this Job opportunity, Relationship, or Body weight is not for us. But, we really WANT it, really, really bad. So, we take back control and then again like the definition of insanity we do the same thing and get the same pathetic results.
