Ten years of research and 500 face-to-face-interviews led Richard St. John to a collection of eight common traits in successful leaders around the world.
1. passion- love what you do 2. work hard 3. focus your energy on one thing 4. keep pushing yourself 5. come up with good ideas 6. improve at what you do 7. serve others 8. persist until you succeed
She coulda gotten money from somewhere else. Scholarship, got invited for something, or maybe someone else just paid for it. Either that or she worked hard at a minimum wage job just to get a first class ticket- in which case she’s not good at money.
So sad to read through the comments and find a whole bunch of hopelessness being spread about. It's just sad that people think that success is only the result of luck, and that it's all about who's dealt the right cards. Don't believe those lies... You CAN be successful. Yes, it may take more effort than average, or maybe less, depending on where you're at, but the choice to be successful in any area of life is your choice. Don't let the mopers, blamers, and critics of success and successful people drag you down. Most are only envious of where successful people are at and aren't willing to do what it takes in their own lives to be successful, so they'll just try to drag everyone else down to where they're at, because it makes them comfortable. Don't let them! Keep dreaming! Keep striving! You can make this world a better place!
EveryoneHarmonyPeace Indeed, it is a pity that there are so many pessimists on a video of a human willing to help people reach similar levels of success. If you are anything like me and enjoy watching this, I highly suggest you watch some videos by Tony Robbins.
Then can you explain to me why some lazy assholes that no one could possibly like, that lack intelligence subtlety, and charisma, become so filthy stinking rich that they own solid gold toilets? And don;t say hard work, because the key word here is lazy.
My problem is... that i dont know what i like... Design videos games... architecture... may be special effects :P been like 4 years of my life wondering
He is a 10-years researcher, an experienced interviewer, an athlete and a successful person. I bow my head for this man. Thank you for your suggestions. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
6:12 Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character. Successful individuals exude confidence, yet remain humble, knowing that success is not a destination but a journey
After watching the video, I remembered Henry David Thoreau's saying, "Success usually comes to someone who is too busy to find it." In other words, success is given to people who live a busy and passionate day for success, not to those who only hope for success and do nothing. I should be a person who can practice these eight elements at the same time by engraving passion, work, focus, push, idea, improve, serve, persist and person deep in my heart. 😄
8 Traits of successful people 1) PASSION - love what you do 2) WORK - Work really hard than ever before 3) FOCUS - focus on onething and not every thing (take up one idea in life and make that idea, your life) 4) PUSH - keep pushing yourself over your limit, every single time 5) IDEAS - comeup with new ideas 6) IMPROVE - keep improving on something you do 7) SERVE - serve others of some value ( success is not always about 'me') 8) PERSIST - there is no over night success
omg finally atleast one comment saying the video was good. I have no idea what these people are upto in the comments. Did they expect him to bring some magic lamp or smtn?
To save you all some time, the eight traits of success begins at 6:10 . before that, all he talked about was what led him to start this research of interviewing successful people
@@ayushanand7933 But at same time succesful people tend to listen to both gain perspective but also understand what information is of importance ;) If you do not listen to get the whole picture, then how will you be able to decide what information is of importance?
There are some serious issues with his methodology, so the conclusions should be taken with a large grain of salt. 1) He is asking successful people what they think led to their success. This is only useful if we assume that successful people have a good understanding of what made them successful. He admits he doesn't understand how he became successful himself. Plenty of people who win games of pure chance (e.g. roulette, snakes and ladders) incorrectly attribute their success to skill/strategy. 2) He is effectively asking successful people to describe their own personality. There are inherent biases at play. For example most people think they are more intelligent, altruistic, creative and hardworking than most people. 3) There is no control group. As far as we know, people who aren't so successful would also claim to be passionate, hardworking, and to have had persisted in the face of adversity etc. A good test for this theory is to see whether he can use it to design a questionnaire/interview/technique which can predict who will be successful and who won't (before they become successful or don't). I'm sure there would be a huge amount of interest in this if it can be made to work. For example employers might want to use it to test job applicants.
I agree with you in that there is bias when simply asking successful people an open-ended question such as, "What made you successful?" However, there are so many factors that play into the success of a person. Not all depend on just personality traits. I would go as far as to argue that luck and connections also play a huge factor into a person's success.
Good point! Unfortunately, human wouldn't like to hear that kind of story 'cause most people failed, and they want the miracle or some kind of beautiful lie to make themselves feel much more better.
I guess being positive is one of the most important steps and I'm so grateful that this guy right here did this. While you all are saying that this is fake, that he's wasting his time, etc., most of the people listening to him are being motivated. Having a passion, loving what you do is what you need if you wanna be successful. You do need to hard work, sometimes it can't be easy but don't give up and keep thinking to improve. Don't be negative, it doesn't work for anybody.
What’s interesting is that so many of us experienced the same automatic reaction to this video. I kept skipping through, got to the message and felt the same as so many others. Separately and alone. I felt like maybe I was too impatient... then I read many of the comments. It’s so interesting, IMHO, that it made me feel better about my response because I wasn’t alone.
+Akshay Agarwal I have to agree with this.I would say that most of the factors that determine if you're going to be successful or not ultimately are a result of your genetics and your environment. Some people are able to work harder than others because of their brain chemistry. And some people can just happen to have the right connections with people. So I would say it's mainly down to luck really.
+AldSotha I would say determination is still due to your brain's emotional chemistry. There are people who end up less motivated than other people because they are constantly depressed. Even then, as determined as I have been, any success I've had is by stumbling across the right people who I feel would value my work just as much if I put in a lot less effort. That said, I still put a ton of work into what I do because a get a great deal of pleasure from doing so. Again that's to do with how my brain works. Of course I did say it's mainly down to luck, not everything. Your genetics and environment are things you can take advantage of so you can reach your potential. I would say keep doing what you have a passion for, meet new people and share your ideas/work with them for example. You can do that more than ever now with the internet. Although I say it's mainly luck, there are so many ways to help your odds of being successful. I just disagree with people who say you can make yourself successful just by putting in tons of effort and following your passion. That's just what I have to say anyway.
Sean McQueen Yeah, but even when depressed, there are things you can do. There is also, that people need to choose realistic goals. Stupid goals may lead to disasters. I agree generally wity you last sentecne there.
Exile N Subjugate Taking a small loan of a million and turning it into billions is pretty successful wouldn't you say....He paid 35 million in taxes in one year.....If your father gave you a million the first thing most would do is burn it in nightclubs in New York and drive around in a Bentley with whores and drugs...Not many people like discipline ....Most of hollywood have given their kids more than a million and most turned into Charlie sheen.
that girl's gonna get somewhere in life. Understanding that she needs to learn from people around her as a teenager and pursuing it relentlessly... amazing.
@@了了了 I mean, millionaires are not that special or rare. I'm poor af myself but I have a lot of relatives who are worth north of 10m USD and they all just look like normal people and do normal people things.
i don't know why people hate this video so much. i don't care about fake story and laugh, but what he said was meant to inspire, and nothing is wrong with that
Pushing your version of success on others is part of problem with this world. Not saying people don’t deserve to have their stories heard but that’s all this is. One persons life. One person perspective. Yours and all of our lives are so individualized and unique that success stories like this are just teaching us to us other peoples strengths and our teaching us that our strengths are weaknesses which is not the best way to approach cultivating better lives for others
@@colecarmichael5724 dude, you're so insecure. this video could guide millions of people into finding a success and happy life, it is a generic advice that you could apply to everything you do, not just business related. it could be applied to a non profit organization, or whatever charity organization. it's the advice that derrived from thousands of successful people. or are you saying you're better than those thousands of successful people? you're not the one who spent 10 years interviewing thousands of people, you're not the one who sorting, and analyzing gargantuan amount of data gathered. that mean, your opinion is worthless, you don't even have the credibility like him.
***** LOL It's none of that. You seen Tai Lopez' ads? You know, "Here in my garage just bought this new lamborghini here." You must have seen it, they were ALL over youtube for a couple of months.
I read his book 12 years ago, when I was still a regular IT guy. I'm no longer in the IT field (nor I'm a half-millionar). However these principals that I read 12 years ago are the basis of my new business and I feel great!
See the lady moving her head at 2:52. Her hair isn't magically morphing; this is an artifact of bad green-screening. And his audio isn't right. In a big environment like that, there would be ambient sounds and faint echoes that would be impossible to remove. This guy has had stage time, they just don't have a good recording of his sound on stage. So they tried (miserably) to jury rig it.
+El rincon de obey Alberto Diaz, a scientist, took 10 years to determine what are the causes of Guillain Barre syndrome and between those years, I'm pretty sure he treated over 500+ patients as well, to confirm the details.
+El rincon de obey Well, I suggest you follow those eight traits for a year and then tell us if you aren't successful. If you fudge once on any of those eight trait for even a day, you lose the challenge and the credibility behind that statement of yours.
+sapienecks I never said those traits werent correct or good. I just said they are so common to hear that it makes no sense that he had to interview over 500 people. I mean, its like saying: most successful people have a heart, a brain, a digestive system,etc.
Last week I ran my first 5k without stopping and all the time I could hear the voice in my head saying that I can do it. Forwago, thank you so much for everything!!
1. PASSION - love what you do（热爱你所做的） 2. WORK - work really hard（尽你所能的努力工作） 3. FOCUS - focus on one thing, not everything（专注一件事，而不是所有事） 4. PUSH - keep pushing yourself（不断的鞭策自己） 5. IDEAS - come up with good ideas（让自己想出更好的点子来） 6. IMPROVE - keep improving yourself and what you do（不断的提升自己和自己的事业） 7. SERVE - serve others something of value, because success isn't just about me me me（造福大家，为别人做些有用的事，因为成功不是一个人的事） 8. PERSIST - persist, because there's no overnight success（坚持下去，因为没有一夜之间就能成功的） 在它们之上，我们再发展我们的具体本领，那些我们在各种不同的行业中所需要的不同的技能： * 技术能力 * 理解能力 * 人际关系能力 * 创造能力 * 管理能力 * 计算机能力
A lot of these things successful people say is things we already know. It's the same thing told over and over again. Our biggest problem is fear, self doubts, lack of passion, impatience, procrastination, forgetting you're not the only one on earth with misfortunes, selfishness; the need to fit in either with a person you care about, a small group, or a large crowd. If you cannot fix those problems yourself then there's nothing to be done. Success depends on you, what do and who you associate with. It's easier to blame others for our problems.....easier than 1+1=2.
He forgot things 9 and 10: Being very sociable and travelling a lot. Give me 5 famous people right now who got rich in their basement without having any serious connections and I'll give you a cookie.
Lu Randir Those developers aren't successful, they're one-hit wonders. They make a single really shitty game that somehow becomes popular by a pure stroke of luck, they get a few hundred thousand dollars from it, then it the hype dies down, the project ceases to be maintained, and nothing is heard about the developer ever again. Additionally, these developers don't actually become successful until they make connections. Like the people who came up with the portal idea were non-existent until Valve snatched them up, and Minecraft didn't boom off until Microsoft snatched it up.
Daemon Ryuou On January 12, 2011, Minecraft passed 1 million purchases, less than a month after entering its beta phase.[94][95] At the same time, the game had no publisher backing and has never been commercially advertised (Wikipedia) I agree that miniecraft is an outstanding example but there are many smaller which are succesful enough to make great profits for small gropus, they simply not always prefer to grow to big studios and keep making indie games. I personaly were working on few AAA titles and now I have my small basement studio making small games which give me much more income than those AAA titles. You can be successful without being CEO of huge company, an you need little more than internet and laptop to develop those days. Anyone can and skill you get over time anyway :)
Lu Randir Making a single hit does not make you successful. And having a couple of people like your game on a homebrew forum doesn't either. and when it comes to game development, having connections is always the case. You don't just make a game and wait for the money flood in; a lot of time and money is put into advertisement.
Daemon Ryuou Hehe if you say so :) I think its easy to find a lot of games which sold hundred of thousands of indie copies which as far as I can count is great income for indies. Its not income comparable to minecraft or AAA as a whole but per person income is really satisfying. So I think maybe simply success definition between mine and yours is the problem here :D
Poorly dubbed and cut together images of a guy in a green room and real people from who knows where, with some random group of people superimposed to make it *look* like he has an audience taking forever to get to the promised points, most of which are common sense presented in the most wishy-washy bullshit manner possible. TED talks have a reputation for being amazingly informative. But as I've watched them I've noticed a lot of things like occasional errors in the speakers presentation of the subject or a streak of subjective bias in favor of the speakers subject and even just plain nonsensical garbage like this. :/
Xeno I've learned that TED talks should be taken with a grain of salt and they're not nearly as informative as they say. You still have to double check every claim and sometimes speakers are just plain wrong. This is all this man's opinion on how to be successful, you can take it or leave it. Success can be defined however you decide it is.
TheStoneSpiral Your comment is very *simplistic*... at least it can create a discussion. I will suppose you are open and that was an easy comment or that is ust your style. Actually, I really liked this video and it made me laugh, but that was not _THE_ video about the subject from the same speaker I am searching. The video I search is for me a reference I am not shy to share. It is a video I wanted to share. I will find it for you and post it later here. However, what you expect here? He explained his story and to me, wow... it was a formidable speech and for me it added up to the video I already had. But that was mostly him describing a part of his work / search on the topics. Can't you understand he has done work with hundreds of people (call them interview) and that he analyzed what he has got from all these succesfully people, and he at least tried to rationalize what can lead to success? People do not always say what is the truth. I talk like Dr. House here. In the sense that people are not 100% conscious of the truth or the real reasons for their success for example. That does not mean some people are not very near. However, when he said he was considered a MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER... no matter how accurate he is to the absolute truth on success, I can tell you that the video I search of him, represents his conclusion in this video you qualified as garbage very easily. I guess I could also be a little jackass and save some finger pain (if I had severe arthritis I would be able to say this I guess) and just give that quote: "The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." - Bertrand Russell
TheStoneSpiral What do you expect about live speakers? And people that tackle lot of varying subjects that are not always easy to rationalize. Like answering a question about "What lead to success?" And then concluding on something [not an absolute and exhaustive truth if you read well] "8 traits of successful people" (in this video they are given very fast at end and that is the big reason of me seeking this speaker, on top of his clear skills to tell a story a cool way, he made me laugh just in this video a couple time, no matter if the editing is true or fake, I don't care, the speech and content is there and it was very interesting to me... but not the video I would share if I had only one, it is more a behind the scene here). You expect there is never gonna be an occasional errors? (fear of doing any error is actually a good way to fails! That does not mean you want to aim 90% of error rate, but if you *never* do errors, chance are you don't try much, of course if you do not try much, you do not do any errors... but you probably don't get much success either!!). But saying this guy is non-sense garbage is not playing in your favor at all honestly here. But I am open and I will call this an offside for you. The game is not over and you can try to pass the line again correctly. ;-)
TheStoneSpiral When you say "Success can be defined however you decide it is." -- I re-read this a couple of time. You may be right in the sense that you can define success. But the goal of this guy is not to define success. The goal is to find what lead to success. Your own success can be anything of course: - Make 3 gazillion dollars - Have a nice wife 3 kids, 1 healthy, 2 handicaped one and a tri-legged dogs, and one busty wife and a sporty mistress. - Find a cure for AIDS - Bang 100 chicks in a year... "I don't want to know your name, I just want ..." (Group X) - Be a nice person - Play in the Major League of Cricket - Whatever - etc. Then the question is... how people reach their success. And how people that we regard as more succesful reach success? What are the attitude of those? Answer/traits could even be what we perceive as negative... let's say irrespectful people who are bullish and are egocentric then to be more succesful... then those might be traits. Of course if any of this was part of a potential real answer or would increase your chance of succeeding, that will be shocking, but maybe those bully do succeed also because of other things than their bully attitude and some Mr. Nice Guy succeed for the same reason. As I understand, the guy did interviews, he analyzed, he tried to extracts common traits or important thing to have as traits or to develop as traits to reach success. There is not only one way to reach success, but let's say if you listen to it and build on those traits, supposing he is on the right track, you should increase your chance of reaching success. If your success image is being millionary, then chance are you can do it only by winning the lottery. Chance are you then lead a marvellous life... or find out the money does not make you that much happier until you find your new money, repeat and reach the same sad conclusion. Then find out Steve Jobs did lot of succesful projects at different companies (not only Apple!!) and was very rich at a very early age... and... it did not matter that much to him. He continued... because he was driven. Or maybe his money was just something else and money will make you all happy. Like this little girl. She only want to succeed and get millionary, right? ;-)
Why does it seem like he's not really there and just superimposed? Why do the laughs and reactions seem so canned. Great message though, but the first anecdotes before the traits seemed pointless
It's because it subtly feels like a purposely surreal tim and eric sketch, but it's actually only incidentally surreal. The presenters inflections and style of comedic delivery is what causes this.
It is not in front of a live audience, the sound of the presenter sounds like it was recorded in studio, the audience was photoshopped in. It doesn't feel real or genuine, and it seems like a trick, so it's harder to buy into his theory.
frekkin genius mate. would never have guessed those 8. thanks a bunch!! hope you continue 500 interviews an whatev other bs. totally worth it, original, insightful, precise. you must feel so successful. i will too now. thank a bunch mate.
My dad went to a conference thing with his girlfriend who is a manager. He didn't want to be the only non successful one so he told all of the company founders and etc that he was "Tony from Toblerone". We will never let him forget
I will be successful for sure! Honestly, anybody reading this comment, I'm becoming an author that will spread lovely stories around the world about important life lessons, my view on life and people!

Summary (the 8 traits): 1: Love what you do. 2: Work really hard. 3: Focus on one thing, not everything. 4: Keep pushing yourself. 5: Come up with good ideas. 6: Keep improving yourself and what you do. 7: Serve others something of value, because success isn't just about me it's about everyone. 8: Persist, because there's no overnight success. Hope it helps!
if you interview poor ppl about their life, you'll most likely see these 8 traits present in their life also. If you're really dont want to sound philological, there is another factors that play into success: OPPORTUNITY. there are several books that complied stories and exp. about just opportunity and how it plays a large factors into a person life.
Gratefulness is the secret to happiness. Once we all realize how incredibly lucky we are to even be alive on this planet and stop comparing ourselves to others, true happiness will find us. The one thing that helped me so much to become more grateful was Forwago.
+TheVictorianSun It's really fake dude... I saw these audiences and they were in other ted talks i saw, and these laugh tracks are over used and obvious.
Huge problem with this whole project: survivor bias. It's like interviewing lottery winners and coming the conclusion that the way to get rich is to win the lottery by buying a lot of lottery tickets. In reality, on average people that buy a lot of lottery tickets are worse off, not better off...
ZeZeBatata69 He's being sociable and reaching out to multiple audiences who may have shorter attention spans for long, boring speeches. Ted-ed is meant for teens and up. He's telling an anecdote to supplement his point.
+Rebecca Walker She worked for two years for her ticket... it was on the news article she is from Detroit and makes really shit money she probably sold drugs on the side
Great storyteller. Just taught a class in organisational storytelling and I will send this to the students as an example. At the same time, it reminds them of key traits not just to life success but to project success, study success...pretty much any time you want to get somewhere.
I'm personally using *OnlineNetCareer .Com* and it makes me around $400 per day. You can actually Sign Up for there. Thank me later. All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.....
This was one of the best Ted-ed talks ever!!! Thank you so much for this video. It was really wonderful. Very simple yet effective. Kudos to the Ted talk Richard St. John :)
Next do a video on survivorship bias. The greatest component to success is luck. You can do everything wrong and succeed or do everything right and fail.
This felt more like an ad than information. It was perhaps 6 minutes of build up and 1 minute of explanation which feels like he's selling a book or ticket to a talk. Editing also made it feel insincere calling into question the validity. Even if the information is accurate, we still know nothing about the 8 traits. That is poor use of time. The feeling of being cheated is so great that I feel I need to stop lurking and type this review. That's pretty bad.
1. passion- love what you do
2. work hard
3. focus your energy on one thing
4. keep pushing yourself
5. come up with good ideas
6. improve at what you do
7. serve others
8. persist until you succeed
Accd to that even a 5 year old could be successful..
Thank you a lot. You just saved me 10 minutes!
Thank you! I just got back 6 minutes of my life.
Thank you

Successful individuals exude confidence, yet remain humble, knowing that success is not a destination but a journey
After watching the video, I remembered Henry David Thoreau's saying, "Success usually comes to someone who is too busy to find it." In other words, success is given to people who live a busy and passionate day for success, not to those who only hope for success and do nothing. I should be a person who can practice these eight elements at the same time by engraving passion, work, focus, push, idea, improve, serve, persist and person deep in my heart. 😄

8 Traits of successful people
1) PASSION - love what you do
2) WORK - Work really hard than ever before
3) FOCUS - focus on onething and not every thing (take up one idea in life and make that idea, your life)
4) PUSH - keep pushing yourself over your limit, every single time
5) IDEAS - comeup with new ideas
6) IMPROVE - keep improving on something you do
7) SERVE - serve others of some value ( success is not always about 'me')
8) PERSIST - there is no over night success

If only I read your message before I watched the video.
am i the only one who watched the whole video and didnt notice the fake audience?
Damon Kutt I am with u.. I dived so into video that I did not notice any thing fake.. It's really informative...
No
You might be - I listened to - instead of watched - the video and the similarity of the laughing and clapping was obvious.
Same
Me too 😉
the reactions are too quick and the video quality of the crowd is different. This is all fabricated.
Atlas Broadshoulder yeah you're right
Atlas How
Atlas Gee, I had no idea. Thank you SO much.
The way he speaks does sound like it was practiced a 1000x. Still a great message though imo
He successfully managed to pay people to laugh at his jokes
Indeed. Haters gonna hate.
Haha he's right ^ he just hated on ur joke
The audience was edited in -- it's all fake.
Woulda really loved an actual explanation
@@zidanemarkey1860
What he meant is that he's jokes aren't funny
To save you all some time, the eight traits of success begins at 6:10 .
before that, all he talked about was what led him to start this research of interviewing successful people
You will surely get success, successful people save time. Regards
Thank you kind sir
Yeah like 😂
@@ayushanand7933 But at same time succesful people tend to listen to both gain perspective but also understand what information is of importance ;) If you do not listen to get the whole picture, then how will you be able to decide what information is of importance?
Thank youuuuu
Anyone else feel cheated on this video?
@BVBZ WENT WILD Are you successful?
Everyone care to ask these kind of questions to anyone in front of them when they feel lost in the middle of nowhere so yeah...
@Bvbs actually, many kids have such deep questions an things to say, you really would be surprised.
@Bvbs if they’re sitting in a plain with me i would asume they aren’t
Bro ig the story about that was more necessary than explaining who u can work hard or other things from that list. U obviously know how to work hard
Eight traits starts from 6:10. You are welcome :)
Thanks. I was nearly losing the will to go on.
Thanks!
this dudes full of it. too early for Christmas ham
Thank You

Thanks!
I really liked this talk, his humility was shown in how simple and consise 10 years of research were presented and his findings resonated with me.
There are some serious issues with his methodology, so the conclusions should be taken with a large grain of salt.
1) He is asking successful people what they think led to their success. This is only useful if we assume that successful people have a good understanding of what made them successful. He admits he doesn't understand how he became successful himself. Plenty of people who win games of pure chance (e.g. roulette, snakes and ladders) incorrectly attribute their success to skill/strategy.
2) He is effectively asking successful people to describe their own personality. There are inherent biases at play. For example most people think they are more intelligent, altruistic, creative and hardworking than most people.
3) There is no control group. As far as we know, people who aren't so successful would also claim to be passionate, hardworking, and to have had persisted in the face of adversity etc.
A good test for this theory is to see whether he can use it to design a questionnaire/interview/technique which can predict who will be successful and who won't (before they become successful or don't). I'm sure there would be a huge amount of interest in this if it can be made to work. For example employers might want to use it to test job applicants.
I agree with you in that there is bias when simply asking successful people an open-ended question such as, "What made you successful?" However, there are so many factors that play into the success of a person. Not all depend on just personality traits. I would go as far as to argue that luck and connections also play a huge factor into a person's success.

How many unsuccessful people did you interview and why they were unsuccessful?
Good point! Unfortunately, human wouldn't like to hear that kind of story 'cause most people failed, and they want the miracle or some kind of beautiful lie to make themselves feel much more better.
@@yvonnehsu16 Apt and logical comment.
@@user.netizen11 true
I literaly could have listed those 8 without going through 10 years of research
Great Video still
But it'd be an educated guess while this relied on a decade of research and analysis to posit a data-backed thesis.
I guess being positive is one of the most important steps and I'm so grateful that this guy right here did this. While you all are saying that this is fake, that he's wasting his time, etc., most of the people listening to him are being motivated. Having a passion, loving what you do is what you need if you wanna be successful. You do need to hard work, sometimes it can't be easy but don't give up and keep thinking to improve. Don't be negative, it doesn't work for anybody.

What’s interesting is that so many of us experienced the same automatic reaction to this video. I kept skipping through, got to the message and felt the same as so many others. Separately and alone. I felt like maybe I was too impatient... then I read many of the comments. It’s so interesting, IMHO, that it made me feel better about my response because I wasn’t alone.
actually sucess is all about taking the right decision at the right time....which may be result of many factors... even luck.
+Akshay Agarwal Hmm, may be very true.
+Akshay Agarwal I have to agree with this.I would say that most of the factors that determine if you're going to be successful or not ultimately are a result of your genetics and your environment. Some people are able to work harder than others because of their brain chemistry. And some people can just happen to have the right connections with people. So I would say it's mainly down to luck really.
Sean McQueen
Determined and reasonable person rises above gentics and environment. It is alot about luck, but not everything.
+AldSotha I would say determination is still due to your brain's emotional chemistry. There are people who end up less motivated than other people because they are constantly depressed. Even then, as determined as I have been, any success I've had is by stumbling across the right people who I feel would value my work just as much if I put in a lot less effort. That said, I still put a ton of work into what I do because a get a great deal of pleasure from doing so. Again that's to do with how my brain works.
Of course I did say it's mainly down to luck, not everything. Your genetics and environment are things you can take advantage of so you can reach your potential. I would say keep doing what you have a passion for, meet new people and share your ideas/work with them for example. You can do that more than ever now with the internet. Although I say it's mainly luck, there are so many ways to help your odds of being successful.
I just disagree with people who say you can make yourself successful just by putting in tons of effort and following your passion. That's just what I have to say anyway.
Sean McQueen
Yeah, but even when depressed, there are things you can do.
There is also, that people need to choose realistic goals. Stupid goals may lead to disasters.
I agree generally wity you last sentecne there.
My success was based on a small loan of a million dollars
Exile N Subjugate Taking a small loan of a million and turning it into billions is pretty successful wouldn't you say....He paid 35 million in taxes in one year.....If your father gave you a million the first thing most would do is burn it in nightclubs in New York and drive around in a Bentley with whores and drugs...Not many people like discipline ....Most of hollywood have given their kids more than a million and most turned into Charlie sheen.

Pushing your version of success on others is part of problem with this world. Not saying people don’t deserve to have their stories heard but that’s all this is. One persons life. One person perspective. Yours and all of our lives are so individualized and unique that success stories like this are just teaching us to us other peoples strengths and our teaching us that our strengths are weaknesses which is not the best way to approach cultivating better lives for others

See the lady moving her head at 2:52. Her hair isn't magically morphing; this is an artifact of bad green-screening. And his audio isn't right. In a big environment like that, there would be ambient sounds and faint echoes that would be impossible to remove. This guy has had stage time, they just don't have a good recording of his sound on stage. So they tried (miserably) to jury rig it.
I dont want to be rude, but did he really needed to interview 500+ people to get the 8 most stereotypical tips in the world?
+El rincon de obey Alberto Diaz, a scientist, took 10 years to determine what are the causes of Guillain Barre syndrome and between those years, I'm pretty sure he treated over 500+ patients as well, to confirm the details.
+HoppoTheWhale Wow, you should get more likes..srsly..
+El rincon de obey Well, I suggest you follow those eight traits for a year and then tell us if you aren't successful. If you fudge once on any of those eight trait for even a day, you lose the challenge and the credibility behind that statement of yours.
+sapienecks I never said those traits werent correct or good. I just said they are so common to hear that it makes no sense that he had to interview over 500 people. I mean, its like saying: most successful people have a heart, a brain, a digestive system,etc.

10 years of research for those 8 .. they seemed obvious. I think right place right time helps a lot too
I would also add, who you know.
Woa 7 years ago
Was the fake laugh track necessary?
1. PASSION - love what you do（热爱你所做的）
2. WORK - work really hard（尽你所能的努力工作）
3. FOCUS - focus on one thing, not everything（专注一件事，而不是所有事）
4. PUSH - keep pushing yourself（不断的鞭策自己）
5. IDEAS - come up with good ideas（让自己想出更好的点子来）
6. IMPROVE - keep improving yourself and what you do（不断的提升自己和自己的事业）
7. SERVE - serve others something of value, because success isn't just about me me me（造福大家，为别人做些有用的事，因为成功不是一个人的事）
8. PERSIST - persist, because there's no overnight success（坚持下去，因为没有一夜之间就能成功的）
在它们之上，我们再发展我们的具体本领，那些我们在各种不同的行业中所需要的不同的技能：
* 技术能力
* 理解能力
* 人际关系能力
* 创造能力
* 管理能力
* 计算机能力
A lot of these things successful people say is things we already know. It's the same thing told over and over again.
Our biggest problem is fear, self doubts, lack of passion, impatience, procrastination, forgetting you're not the only one on earth with misfortunes, selfishness; the need to fit in either with a person you care about, a small group, or a large crowd. If you cannot fix those problems yourself then there's nothing to be done. Success depends on you, what do and who you associate with. It's easier to blame others for our problems.....easier than 1+1=2.
He forgot things 9 and 10:
Being very sociable and travelling a lot.
Give me 5 famous people right now who got rich in their basement without having any serious connections and I'll give you a cookie.
I want cookie :D many game developers get successful before they get connections and trawling which came after they "won" XD
Lu Randir Those developers aren't successful, they're one-hit wonders. They make a single really shitty game that somehow becomes popular by a pure stroke of luck, they get a few hundred thousand dollars from it, then it the hype dies down, the project ceases to be maintained, and nothing is heard about the developer ever again.
Additionally, these developers don't actually become successful until they make connections. Like the people who came up with the portal idea were non-existent until Valve snatched them up, and Minecraft didn't boom off until Microsoft snatched it up.
Daemon Ryuou
On January 12, 2011, Minecraft passed 1 million purchases, less than a month after entering its beta phase.[94][95] At the same time, the game had no publisher backing and has never been commercially advertised (Wikipedia)
I agree that miniecraft is an outstanding example but there are many smaller which are succesful enough to make great profits for small gropus, they simply not always prefer to grow to big studios and keep making indie games. I personaly were working on few AAA titles and now I have my small basement studio making small games which give me much more income than those AAA titles. You can be successful without being CEO of huge company, an you need little more than internet and laptop to develop those days. Anyone can and skill you get over time anyway :)
Lu Randir Making a single hit does not make you successful. And having a couple of people like your game on a homebrew forum doesn't either. and when it comes to game development, having connections is always the case. You don't just make a game and wait for the money flood in; a lot of time and money is put into advertisement.
Daemon Ryuou
Hehe if you say so :) I think its easy to find a lot of games which sold hundred of thousands of indie copies which as far as I can count is great income for indies. Its not income comparable to minecraft or AAA as a whole but per person income is really satisfying. So I think maybe simply success definition between mine and yours is the problem here :D

Poorly dubbed and cut together images of a guy in a green room and real people from who knows where, with some random group of people superimposed to make it *look* like he has an audience taking forever to get to the promised points, most of which are common sense presented in the most wishy-washy bullshit manner possible.
TED talks have a reputation for being amazingly informative. But as I've watched them I've noticed a lot of things like occasional errors in the speakers presentation of the subject or a streak of subjective bias in favor of the speakers subject and even just plain nonsensical garbage like this. :/
TheStoneSpiral So this is what you learned from this?
Xeno I've learned that TED talks should be taken with a grain of salt and they're not nearly as informative as they say. You still have to double check every claim and sometimes speakers are just plain wrong.
This is all this man's opinion on how to be successful, you can take it or leave it. Success can be defined however you decide it is.
TheStoneSpiral Your comment is very *simplistic*... at least it can create a discussion. I will suppose you are open and that was an easy comment or that is ust your style. Actually, I really liked this video and it made me laugh, but that was not _THE_ video about the subject from the same speaker I am searching. The video I search is for me a reference I am not shy to share. It is a video I wanted to share. I will find it for you and post it later here.
However, what you expect here? He explained his story and to me, wow... it was a formidable speech and for me it added up to the video I already had. But that was mostly him describing a part of his work / search on the topics. Can't you understand he has done work with hundreds of people (call them interview) and that he analyzed what he has got from all these succesfully people, and he at least tried to rationalize what can lead to success? People do not always say what is the truth. I talk like Dr. House here. In the sense that people are not 100% conscious of the truth or the real reasons for their success for example. That does not mean some people are not very near. However, when he said he was considered a MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER... no matter how accurate he is to the absolute truth on success, I can tell you that the video I search of him, represents his conclusion in this video you qualified as garbage very easily.
I guess I could also be a little jackass and save some finger pain (if I had severe arthritis I would be able to say this I guess) and just give that quote:
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt."
- Bertrand Russell
TheStoneSpiral What do you expect about live speakers? And people that tackle lot of varying subjects that are not always easy to rationalize. Like answering a question about "What lead to success?" And then concluding on something [not an absolute and exhaustive truth if you read well] "8 traits of successful people" (in this video they are given very fast at end and that is the big reason of me seeking this speaker, on top of his clear skills to tell a story a cool way, he made me laugh just in this video a couple time, no matter if the editing is true or fake, I don't care, the speech and content is there and it was very interesting to me... but not the video I would share if I had only one, it is more a behind the scene here).
You expect there is never gonna be an occasional errors? (fear of doing any error is actually a good way to fails! That does not mean you want to aim 90% of error rate, but if you *never* do errors, chance are you don't try much, of course if you do not try much, you do not do any errors... but you probably don't get much success either!!).
But saying this guy is non-sense garbage is not playing in your favor at all honestly here. But I am open and I will call this an offside for you. The game is not over and you can try to pass the line again correctly. ;-)
TheStoneSpiral When you say "Success can be defined however you decide it is." -- I re-read this a couple of time. You may be right in the sense that you can define success. But the goal of this guy is not to define success. The goal is to find what lead to success.
Your own success can be anything of course:
- Make 3 gazillion dollars
- Have a nice wife 3 kids, 1 healthy, 2 handicaped one and a tri-legged dogs, and one busty wife and a sporty mistress.
- Find a cure for AIDS
- Bang 100 chicks in a year... "I don't want to know your name, I just want ..." (Group X)
- Be a nice person
- Play in the Major League of Cricket
- Whatever
- etc.
Then the question is... how people reach their success. And how people that we regard as more succesful reach success? What are the attitude of those?
Answer/traits could even be what we perceive as negative... let's say irrespectful people who are bullish and are egocentric then to be more succesful... then those might be traits. Of course if any of this was part of a potential real answer or would increase your chance of succeeding, that will be shocking, but maybe those bully do succeed also because of other things than their bully attitude and some Mr. Nice Guy succeed for the same reason.
As I understand, the guy did interviews, he analyzed, he tried to extracts common traits or important thing to have as traits or to develop as traits to reach success.
There is not only one way to reach success, but let's say if you listen to it and build on those traits, supposing he is on the right track, you should increase your chance of reaching success.
If your success image is being millionary, then chance are you can do it only by winning the lottery. Chance are you then lead a marvellous life... or find out the money does not make you that much happier until you find your new money, repeat and reach the same sad conclusion. Then find out Steve Jobs did lot of succesful projects at different companies (not only Apple!!) and was very rich at a very early age... and... it did not matter that much to him. He continued... because he was driven. Or maybe his money was just something else and money will make you all happy. Like this little girl. She only want to succeed and get millionary, right? ;-)
short but precise THANKS! its not boring
Why does it seem like he's not really there and just superimposed? Why do the laughs and reactions seem so canned. Great message though, but the first anecdotes before the traits seemed pointless
I usually love Ted's videos but this praticular one is really annoying for some reason I can't even articulate.
It's because it subtly feels like a purposely surreal tim and eric sketch, but it's actually only incidentally surreal. The presenters inflections and style of comedic delivery is what causes this.
It is not in front of a live audience, the sound of the presenter sounds like it was recorded in studio, the audience was photoshopped in. It doesn't feel real or genuine, and it seems like a trick, so it's harder to buy into his theory.
frekkin genius mate. would never have guessed those 8. thanks a bunch!! hope you continue 500 interviews an whatev other bs. totally worth it, original, insightful, precise. you must feel so successful. i will too now. thank a bunch mate.
I’m watching this to write a school essay and I really like this video, it’s very inspiring

Thank you so much!
Summary (the 8 traits):
1: Love what you do.
2: Work really hard.
3: Focus on one thing, not everything.
4: Keep pushing yourself.
5: Come up with good ideas.
6: Keep improving yourself and what you do.
7: Serve others something of value, because success isn't just about me it's about everyone.
8: Persist, because there's no overnight success.
Hope it helps!
It does. Thanks for summarising the video for us
if you interview poor ppl about their life, you'll most likely see these 8 traits present in their life also. If you're really dont want to sound philological, there is another factors that play into success: OPPORTUNITY. there are several books that complied stories and exp. about just opportunity and how it plays a large factors into a person life.
Well, it's 8 traits that successful people have. Not how to be successful
Gratefulness is the secret to happiness. Once we all realize how incredibly lucky we are to even be alive on this planet and stop comparing ourselves to others, true happiness will find us. The one thing that helped me so much to become more grateful was Forwago.

Just skip to 6:08
Thanks :D
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!
One of the best TED talk i ever seen..
wow...
9th trait: insert canned laughter in order to look like people give a shit about the same old same old you are pushing. Nice.
Huge problem with this whole project: survivor bias. It's like interviewing lottery winners and coming the conclusion that the way to get rich is to win the lottery by buying a lot of lottery tickets. In reality, on average people that buy a lot of lottery tickets are worse off, not better off...
wow you have extraordinary talent of speaking and explaining flawlessly , sign of intelligence for sure , mad respect
WTF is this shit? some C level comedy routine with canned laughs? Love when the cut to the crowd. top notch.
Its an educational speech. Not a comedy routine.

Then cut the hacky joke attempts.
ZeZeBatata69 He's being sociable and reaching out to multiple audiences who may have shorter attention spans for long, boring speeches. Ted-ed is meant for teens and up. He's telling an anecdote to supplement his point.

+Rebecca Walker That's why she's poor
Ok the audience is so fake or edited that it almost seems like they purposely made i obvious.
What are you talking about? You can see an arm vaguely resembling his at 1:21!
i love this video so much~ i knew it's always about passion..
don't skip to any link. The build up is important to understand the value of those traits.
Nah. The story up to 6:12 is trite and boring.
Great storyteller. Just taught a class in organisational storytelling and I will send this to the students as an example. At the same time, it reminds them of key traits not just to life success but to project success, study success...pretty much any time you want to get somewhere.
Is this a parody or a Tim & Eric video?
I KNOW RIGHT?
The best way to develop these 8 traits is to follow your shrim
I'm personally using *OnlineNetCareer .Com* and it makes me around $400 per day. You can actually Sign Up for there. Thank me later. All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.....
People saying it is fake audience, fake clapping and fake laughing. It doesnt even matter. We were just here to listen, right?
I strongly agree with you. Ted makes videos to inform you. Ted doesnt make videos so that you can listen to the audience. I agree!!
I love your talks.
Hit the blunt mang, hes like... shreck level high.
Melon Farts ayyy lmao
Teedon LOL this guy could be a meme
Teedon ayy lmao
"Im not sucessful" "I'm a millionaire."
Already tuned out
I don’t think 1 million would do. At least in terms of assets
Exactly! This sentence was BOOM super hit in my head.
Never thought I would enjoyed this. ❤️❤️❤️
THANK YOU VERY MUCH CAPTAIN OBVIOUS !!!
This was one of the best Ted-ed talks ever!!! Thank you so much for this video. It was really wonderful. Very simple yet effective. Kudos to the Ted talk Richard St. John :)
Next do a video on survivorship bias. The greatest component to success is luck. You can do everything wrong and succeed or do everything right and fail.
BEST TED TALKS ! SHORT BUT FULL OF KNOWLEDGE
I respect your 10 years of work
There is one more trait - to look at the positives of your mistakes ie.learn from your mistakes
And get lucky
Quack Dragon 😂👌🏻
this is the most awkward laughing ever.
I love it is all about that passion to achieve greatness
To be a successful person didn't need to be perfect , just remember passion,work,focus,push,ideas,improve,serve and persist.
This felt more like an ad than information. It was perhaps 6 minutes of build up and 1 minute of explanation which feels like he's selling a book or ticket to a talk. Editing also made it feel insincere calling into question the validity. Even if the information is accurate, we still know nothing about the 8 traits. That is poor use of time.
The feeling of being cheated is so great that I feel I need to stop lurking and type this review. That's pretty bad.
The best part of this is that they are FACTS. Also that the people he intervied were noticable and A-list people
I loved it. Great talk!
Thanks. I screen shot the “8 to be great” & will put them into practice
