When you have a very short amount of time to discuss the thing that you are the most passionate about, your word choice is critical. When you have the opportunity to have this talk in front of more than 500 people and countless more via the world wide web – you make every sentence more powerful than the last. This kind of verbal artistry lends itself to many quotable phrases and the TEDxPeachtree audience was there, technology in hand, to capture every inspiring syllable.  Last Thursday, #TEDxPT was a trending topic in Atlanta for eight hours. Here are a few of the top tweets:
