Still one of my favorites. Velcro and warp drive, human relationships and
other motivators… or excuses.
Watch this if you need a firm kick in the butt… and let me know what you
think, please.
I’ve had people tell me how much they hated this talk.
He’s a Loser. Its Clear As Day.
If nothing out there seems to motivate you to take control of your life and
do what you want, this talk will definitely help push you in that direction
Appeals to me so much since I was always fearful to pursue my dream.
Amazing ted talk. Thank you. I can watch this again and again.
Look at Larry!! How he is engaging the listener !! These guys are gem man!!
This guy is fabulous, fear is the thought pattern that is between us and
the great career that we would like, our passion, our purpose, our calling
can just happen when we consistently ask the question “What can I do right
now to keep me happy?” and courageously follow the path of happiness moment
by moment. We can let go of the other thought patterns that get in the way,
as well as fear there is anger, jealousy, blame, guilt, resentment, sorrow,
irritation, frustration, criticism, stress, tension. Live the dream and
shine, only you can do this for yourself. I believe in your power to do
this, do you?
everyone should see this
Larry Smith on Why you will fail to have a great career – #passion

Whose Steven J?
I don’t get it. So why do we fail to have a great career? Because we always
have a “way out”?
I advise you to read the works of Aleister Crowley. At least the Book Of
The Law – it’s basically the same topic expressed in a different way. Very
helpful ;)
This guy should be the next Batman villain. I can picture him now. Trapping
Batman, then sitting him tied up in a chair. And walking back and forth
telling Batman, how he will never have a great career. And Batman crying
saying, “Stop it…Enough!”
I find this guy too faddy, pessimistic and vague on what he wants to
convey. Even when trying to see past it, I get demotivated. People change,
aswell as goals, dreams and circumstances. There are things you can control
and make the most of, and things beyond your control. As long as you stand
up for the choices you’ve made and don’t whine about it I don’t see a
problem. The notion of failure is pretty subjective anyway…
This speech was… Very misleading and clever. This man dressed optimism in
pessimism so well you don’t know what’s what until the end.
I think he’s trying to say you don’t have a great career becasue deep down
you really don’t want one enough. Also that there are myriad of
opportunities missed due to self sabotage not just for a career but for
happiness in general.
This guy said something optimistic in a pessimistic way that still manages
to register as optimistic.
Give this guy a sith robe and call him Darth Smith of the TED.
Ah….Tesla was insane. Just saying.
I really enjoyed this lecture. I have a fear of sucess that is quite
common, but I don’t think the speaker mentioned; that is I fear actually
getting what I want. I fear succeeding. My whole world-view is based around
the belief that good things don’t happen to me, so why bother trying?
wrong sequence
In other words, he believes the world is a true meritocracy, which it
obviously isn’t.
thank you so much for responding to the other poster. I also believe that
we have to look at job placement through the lense of realism rather than
the lense of idealism. The current culture in America is this terribly
naive belief in the infallibility of simply trying really hard no matter
what happens to you. The people who have this belief are neglecting to see
the complexities of real life.
You’re a loser.
Dude sounds like Bane.
NO i disagree. Most people have talent at something. The problem is they
are competing in areas where they dont have talent at all. So this makes
them average or even below average. I dont know about you, but you must be
average at many things. Why? because its natural. We as humans have talent
at a few things and probably are average at alot of things, because we dont
have what it takes to be on top of everybody.
Well, you have quite clearly and concisely articulated your problem. Now
you have the option of either doing something about it. Or putting it up on
the shelf and carrying on with the status quo. An excuse is an excuse, no
matter which way you want to spin it 😉
Some of the most successful people realize their lack of talent but
maximize their potential. I find most “professionals” that coast are
brilliant and rest on those under-performing skills.
