Confidence is the mindset of knowing that "no matter what happens, I am gonna be alright!"
Ted should be a school , I swear they will create a whole new sort of generation.
Wow, after 13 years I came across this wonderful speech. For me, it was the right time, neither too early nor too late.
“No one will believe in you unless you do.” - This has been true in every big and crucial moments of life.
Easiest and fastest way to gain confidence is to do exactly what you are afraid of.
What a great man…. Sending him a digital hug...
PLEASE like this so i can watch it again and again
This is the Ted Talk that changed my life. I remember listening to this Ted talk in school in 8th grade, now I'm 20 years old and i carry every single value that he talks about to this day.
You and i gonna achieve our dreams
Amazing how im learning more about life from Ted talks than public education
Summary on how to become self-confident: 1. repetition persistently 2. positive self-talk or self-affirmation; get a personal mantra 3. get away from people who will tear you down 4. positive perception/interpretation of all situations To build confidence in others: 1. catch them when they are good (highlight when they do well)
I watched this last year and it motivated me to run a marathon. Now I've done 2 marathons in total and a bunch of other races. Got 3 marathons planned for next year. Believing in yourself is very important!!
Important points I picked up in this - persistent practice makes perfect - stop negative self-talk - reinforcing positive behaviour through positive feedback - live strong and don't let other people drag you down
He's amazing, his body language, his voice, his charisma...I loved him !
I used to treat other people the best I could, and I still am; the only difference is I started to treat myself the same. I treat myself the same way I treat the people I love, and I feel more confident and more happy since then. This video is a real treasure! Thank you so much!
man ... why they don't teach us this kind of things in schools
The fact that this video got so much views reminds us that self confidence is a big issue
he was my athletic director at my university. I remember talking to him and sort of asking(begging) him if i can drive his model S he was so nice to throw the keys to me and in his voice said " run before i change my mind". Nicest guy you'll meet.
10 years later I'm still going back to this video which really changed my life and made me who I am today. At that time, me as a Brazillian still did not understand english, but I watched it many times, translating every word and it inspired me. 2 Years later, I became fluent in english and went to US to study Manufacturing Engineering there and then I came back to my home country. Today I'm a polyglot, I have a good job and the life I wished to have 10 years ago, which I was able to construct with the self confidence, motivation and a lot of effort videos and books like this tought me. I know Dr. Ivan will never read my comment, but I just want to say: THANK YOU !!! Regards from Brazil!! It's awesome how a video posted can change lives many many miles away and for years!
