Not true for everyone.
@@cuttingedge6911 i was making a joke
Mozart was locked in a room with a piano. Lock yourself in a situation you want to become and you'll be a genius with the muscle memory.
That will not work.
Yes this will work thank you
How do you know this?
I am a crearive writing and poetry writing genuis, and I am basically locked in a room most of my dad reading and writing and editing work. Writing greatly poetry comes super easy to me now, and people say I am gifted, but they don't know my journey. I am obsessed with ever step that is needed to write great creative work. I am currently taking all my class over again, even though I got A's in them and I have steady writing success. I will not argue with anyone for saying I am a genius. Geniuses know when they are one, and have the right to say they are just like someone can say they are a woman or a man or a doctor or a lawyer.
@@bragadeesh1190 It works, I have done it.
One of the most underrated videos. Masterpiece
Same here..... all I can say is wow that was exactly what I needed

"It's not about the age you have, It's about what you doing with the age you have". Truly inspiring.
Is it not obvious?
@@snackers7 Most people who believe in the talent myth don't know this
My mind was blown when he revealed that all it takes to go from No Talent -> Genius is finding the SMALL steps that are WITHIN your abilities. And not to mention that you must treat it like a journey... it might take 5 years or 10 years, but DO NOT rush it! What an incredibly insightful video
But I can't take 10 years to ace my exams.. We all have one year even the genius ones have the same amount of time as you.
I'm an example, I used to fail at maths when I was in 6th grade and I improved drastically within a year , I became a topper in 7th grade! All I did was I believed I could do good and practiced, practiced and practiced a lot everyday!
Happy for you sister.
Congratulations... Hope I could do the same
How do you do that man plss say it because I also want to be a topper at maths
Yeah but imagine people with dyscalculia and you see a problem with the logic
@@kabilantony2719 hardwork and belief in god
Somehow the whole thought of this video reminded me of calculus, with how the area under a curve is solved by adding up infinitesimal strips and how smaller steps that we take lead us to a bigger picture. It's beautiful.
Same here 😅
Yep, just like this universe's nature
Are you Engineer
Well the steps look a lot like a Riemann sum.
And I was thinking about how he sounds like Gru ._.
I literally think this is the best video I’ve ever seen on CZcams

Same to you💖❤💋
You don't figuratively think it's the best?
Same
my thoughts, exactly!
A picture, they say is worth more than a thousand words. Now, this is genius: using his artistic skills to communicate an unrelated message. One of the finest deliveries of TEDx I have seen
Amazing talk. All makes sense. It's like my own life story. At 43, after being diagnosed with fatty liver, I decided to start jogging. It was hard, I was only able to run to a maximum distance of 2-3km at a time. I also started to swim, at most 50m, at once and stop to catch more breath.
Then after about 2 months I realised that actually I improved in both running and swimming. I signed up for a short Aquathlon (750m swim + 10km run) events.
Then I read a running article about marathon that says: one should dream big to keep yourself motivated and have a focus on certain things.
So I decided to sign up for 42km full marathon and also 6.5km open sea swim. I trained hard, 3x running a week after work and 2x weekly pool swim. Occasionally I took leave from work so that I can swim in the pool without disturbance when no one else want to swim under hot mid noon sun.
6 years later, I completed 11 full marathons, 3 open sea 6.5km swim and 3 ultra aquathlons.
Whatever the presenter said makes every sense to me. It also reminded me of the story of the 3 Polgar sisters whose father literally made the 3 of them chess geniuses.
Very inspiring talk. I fully agree with all the statements made.
Thanks!
This is just superb, I have been researching "how do geniuses learn" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Ronny Geniusify Epiphany - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 got amazing success with it.

This masterpiece should be getting viral!!!!!!❣️
I wish more people can see this. This is so underrated.
One of the most brilliant videos I've watched on CZcams as yet. I was not bored for even a minute. It held my attention for the whole 16 minutes. Everything he said was delightfully lucid and exceptionally clear.
That guy is Hilarious!!!
And that speech was amazing.
Thanks so much! It was a team effort and was also thanks to the feedback from the TED Team :D
Hey Mark Diaz, I am 21 years old, and I have always been fascinated by "Human Nature" in a way that brought me to read Robert Greene's book, "The Daily Laws," and somewhere near the end of the book, I said to myself that I want to become “An Artist of Human Nature” and a "Genius." For last 6 years, I have been on this journey of self-reflection, learning from great philosophers, reading books and preaching all I can by interacting with people who have extremely different personality that mine. And this is why I am happy to acknowledge that I have a certain level of familiarity with the art of human nature.
That being said, I still have some insecurities that hijack my mind and cloud it with emotional fog to convince myself that I cannot get too good at any technical skill because it's hard for me. I find it very hard, exhausting, and disappointing. But after watching this video, "Can anyone become a genius?" I am convinced by the analogy with which you depict what makes a genius. I am fascinated by it, and realizing everything you said, I can see the hope that it is possible for me to become good at something like coding, business, dance, piano, and boxing.
Just imagine that I truly preach everything you said in this video and become “An Artist of Human Nature” and a "Genius." I want to let you know how thankful and grateful I am for you sharing this with the world.
Thank you!
I absolutely loved this video. I wish more teachers in this world were like this. It take a very creative person like himself to really get peoples attention by laughing in the process.
HAHAHA HA I genuinely laughed at how awesome and playful his presentation was.
This is literally one of the best TED talks I’ve seen since ever! Just think about how original it is but has only relatively low view counts. What a pity
I'm so blessed. The point that I've got here is that, to become genius I must learn to take one step at a time. Thank you so much.
This change my perspective and doubt that somehow talent always win and felt that i couldn't attain the level of intellectual to become a professor but after watching this, I will spend my time devoting to become great in the path that I have chosen
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS ️️️️ I want to re-play again and again!
Great Ted Talk. The way he presented, delightful to watch. Hope we taught every important sector of our life like that, a perfect Edutainment.
I just keep coming back to this
Amazing speech ! One of the most incredible and thoughtful videos that I've ever come across before !!!
Your video will be relevant 10 years from now. Epic
I really got caught up in his speech, Mark Diaz did an amazing job talking about how a person can find the way to improve his own abilities, It's amazing how he organized the information with his own skills, as soon as the pictures appeared, I focused on them and started to understand what he meant. I feel very proud that I made the decision to learn english almost three years ago, because I could understand everything he said and I think that I will sign up for his online classes, because he knows how to encourage people to make their dreams and goals come true.
This deserves to be longer, Powerful message
Absolutely amazing!!!! Congrats!
This was hands down THE BEST Ted talk I have ever seen. Thanks for inspiring me 💜☺️
not only was this entertaining, but it’s actually such a good point and extremely helpful
Houston we have a problem, this video is too good!
Your geniuses depends on how much time you give at something to make a genius muscle memory... Take your time from distraction and give it to your goals.
its an outstanding speech. thank you
This is beautiful! Thank you, Mark!
this video will be stuck in my head for the next month and I’m really happy about it :)
i remember when there was a ''genius'' at my school, he was a very talented kid, and he got everything without trying.
All i did was study and work hard but, i was still never as good enough.
I feel you, I was in that same situation. No matter how hard I tried, my intelligent friends always got higher scores, came up with faster solution, earned more attention from teachers and lectures.
same
Did you ever live with them? See how they spent their time? Maybe they worked twice as hard as you did.
@@rr.studios they were literally my friend i knew him💀 did u live with me?? maybe i do know what i’m talking abt and maybe i know more than u 💀
@@rr.studios stop acting like you know me or him 💀
R.I.P. Replay button, it was the video's fault. Just so good!
Thank you for the new perspective I now have after watching.
You have everything going for you. Love this
saved this video cause it saved my life
How?
I also want to know :o
Yes, yes please exsplain, you would help others as well
me too.

👌Brilliant! Genius is not about your genetics but about your Habits. Thank you for spreading true education
AWESOME ADVICE AND AWESOME VIDEO !!! THANK YOU MR. MARK!! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS !!!
That video surprises and inspires me a lot because most of the time I think about that and I am an example of the same. In the case in which I learned English, I remember saying years ago that I am not good at speaking or knowing that language, but thanks to my constant practice and motivation to learn, today I can proudly say that I know a new language and I really like it.
This was the most interesting commercial I've ever seen
I do not understand how this video has only 243k views today, otherwise, this is an amazing video presented ingeniously. Amazing!
I get chills every time l see it
I just love how he says drawing. It’s so cool
This is so true!❤️❤️
I don't want to waste my rest of life , now!
Who's still gonna be here in 2020?? I will!!!
Lol u were actually excited for 2020 get rekkttrt it sucks boi
This is probably the most informative and entertaining Ted Talk I’ve seen so far
Beautiful talk. Thanks for inspiring people.
Super interesting conference, this is a rare speech thanks for putting all this effort to convey such useful info
When I was a little kid, my dream was to be a brillant rocket scientist but i was deeply depressed and got some suicidal thoughts (because this has been my dream & life purpose since my childhood) when i met a genius guy who could easily solve problems which i tried so hard but i couldnt or like he could remember all the things teachers said or remember a lot of knowledge from books we read 3-4 months ago which i couldn't. he had a super sharp memory which is why he didn't need to work. he worked hard just the night before the exam but still he got the best grades which i could never reach although i worked super hard. it was the turning point in my life. i realised that i was just an average girl with no special talent. i gave up on my dreams because of my genes which i cant do anything.
I will be 18 years old next month and this will be my only wish, a wish that will never come true.
I relate hard. I wanted to be a physicist because I love physics but I lack intellect to do anything useful in that field. There are smarter people than me in my class and that depresess me too. It's similar situation. There were many times I've tried to better myself, think more but you can't compete with natural talent and genes. It comes easy for them. Maybe I have too much of a negative outlook on this, I don't know. But it's hard to not be discouraged. I gave up on my goals which once seemed achievable. Now I think they are just wishful thinking. I empathize with you. Hang in there.
Hey I hope you are fine
I will never live without this!!
I had no idea how badly I needed this video until now.
Love it! Very inspiring thank you Mark!
Thanks Bridget :D
OMG I'm so shook!! this is ICONIC
Love this!! Captivating!
Nothing but love and only love for this video. Amazing
Oh wow that's amazing and very motivated speech that I learned when I watched until the end of the video.. It's not about your age it's all about your passion dont let your age destroyed your dreams to make it possible..
just gave this a standing ovation from my dining table
That's great.
This keeps me alive!
I love you very much, Mr. Mark. You have all the appreciation and respect. May God grant you paradise If you want to succeed, you have to keep going and repeating
my name’s also Joanne and I’m an artist!
my dream is to become a professional illustrator or animator, but these past couple of years I’ve felt unmotivated to draw and constantly distract myself with my phone. I felt like this lecture was for me, I must try smarter!
Hey Joanne, how's your journey going?

A couple things I want to touch on... There's a difference between talent and skill, the first is a natural affinity and the other takes work to develop, and absolutely anyone can develop their skills in accordance with their talents (i.e. work hard at what you love to do or wish to do) and thereby become a genius. BUT in the case of Mozart and many of the great musicians, what almost always sets them apart is that they developed what is referred to as "perfect pitch", the ability to know what a note is by hearing it, and this ability can only happen or rather be "imprinted" during very early stages of brain development. So in that respect, not "anybody" can become a Mozart if their brain is already developed beyond that stage of imprinting. But still, anybody can become a genius at something via consistency and dedication, absolutely!
i learned perfect pitch at 13
@@notme9806 Please make a video of someone hitting random notes on your preferred instrument while you immediately call out the note names and I will believe you.
@@adamcolbertmusic i swear and its not only me i studied 6 years and this music school and to pass each year we have to pass this exam where the teacher plays the piano and we have to write the notes he is doing, and each year he would play faster and faster. and every kid in that school had to do that test to pass to the next year so thats why i believe its a skill thats all
@@adamcolbertmusic also it was a shock to me to learn that it wasnt a common thing in other country's schools. ( i live in morocco btw)
@@notme9806 We have a similar test in the Aural Skills class where the teacher gives the starting pitch and then the students have to write the melody that follows, but that has more to do with "relative pitch" and identifying intervals from the starting note (for example if the starting note is F and the interval is a minor 6th then you'd know it was D flat). Did your teacher tell you the starting note like that? Or just jump in playing random notes?
such a great story... BRAVO!!!
Really nothing feels better than this
How come bright side’s video has more views than this, and they’re on the same topic. SMH 🤦🏾♂️
Well, a genius is someone who is well above other people in a field, so if I take informations given here, that some people are born with a talent that allow them to take greater steps, given that they will work hard also, then no matter how much time you dedicate you will never be able to become a genius, because it's relative to others and talented hard working people will always be above you.
you've taken it up a notch with this one
True it is a journey ,wonderful speech
Thank you baldie
He talks like Gru
I love this so much. You made my day.
we need more videos like this
This video is so slowly paced-even in 2x speed it felt dragged along
Please stop this BS!
The title should be “anyone can be good at sth, if they work really hard”, but please stop abusing the word “genius”. It’s like telling people with no limbs: “anyone can swim, so can you”, you are gonna get someone killed.
Drawing is a skill, it can be trained, it does not take a genius to draw, the first drawing is actually not that bad (grab a random person on the street, s/he won’t be able to do that), the second drawing is actually not perfect (any manga artist can do that). And it took that person 5 years???
Using small steps means you are not a genius, you spend more time and energy to achieve sth can be done easily by a real genius.
This video is very misleading, I understand the PC culture, everyone's the same, but people only say it because intelligence cannot be easily measured (standardized test sucks). If you tell me I can grow to 185cm but I'm 160cm 45 years old, I will punch you in the face, because it can be measured and I know it's impossible.
Normal people want to listen to these stories not because they are true, but because they are very comforting, and if you agree with the speaker, I have bad news for you.
Yes, the world is a lie and life is harsh, get over with it.
And last, Mozart had “perfect pitch” , an ability to identify a note by hearing it. The ability is considered remarkably rare, estimated to be less than one in 10,000 individuals.
Do you know what it means to be a genius? No it's not high IQ or talent. It's the ability to do things against the odds that shouldn't be possible in society today. The instructions given are terrible. Are you able to do the work based off of bad instruction and do them wrong???
What are you even saying?
this is my fav video!! i cant stop watching it...love!!
Honestly this guy is amazing ☺️
What a beautiful presentation! ❤
Simply brilliant. Why this video is underrated?😮
Here I'm. Just killing my time after scrolling countless on social media and come here to have some motivation. I have exams on coming Tuesday, what interesting is i will be turn 24 in a few months and just started my bachelor's in science with nearly zero background. The course will start in coming 2 months and i want to make a commitment which i've been doing every time XD. Why i choose to learn science is kind of funny, i got high a lot and i choose f it i'm out of comfort zone and will be scientist instead of film making which i got much love for it.I'm still making no progress but let's get back to commitment i will get my degree in next 4 year. Writing this long even took me 20 minutes.
This was incredible. Thankyou Kaufman, it was very insightful.
