How to find and do work you love: Scott Dinsmore at TEDxGoldenGatePark (2D)
Scott Dinsmore's mission is to change the world by helping people find what excites them and build a career around the work only they are capable of doing. H...
"making an impact only you can make". Nonsense.
ReplyDeleteThe Wright brothers were one of at least 3 different groups around the
world all working out the mechanical and physical problems of powered
flight at the time. If it wasn't them, it would have been someone
else. Scott admits himself that FOURTEEN PEOPLE broke the 4-minute mile
barrier after Roger Bannister. So, if not him, then one of the others
certainly would have.
There is no such thing as some unique thing that *only you can do* (except
for the raw fact of existing). There will always be someone else who will
do whatever gets done. You aren't really necessary.
But I can't choose my environment. I am in school, subjected to this cookie
ReplyDeletecutter lifestyle where everything I learn must be straight off the syllabus
and all my creativity is sucked out of me. I can't simply surround myself
with inspiring people when there are none around me. I have 1 friend at the
most. I wish everyone could move to San Fransisco and participate in
awesome activities with awesome people but unfortunately there are so many
people stuck in a cycle of poverty where it is impossible. I do think this
is an inspiring speech, however the inspiration fades out after a few
minutes once reality kicks in, and I seem to be more sad in realising that
it is just not possible for everyone
Imagine world where everyone would do only what they love doing: no garbage
ReplyDeletewould be collected, department stores closed because nobody dreams of
spending life at the register, no roads built because nobody wants to spend
whole day laying down asphalt in the heat of Arizona summer.
This video is suppose to be inspiring, but it's actually depressing for
many people because you make them believe that they can do job they love
and get paid handsomely for it. It takes people some time after watching
this to realize that they can't do this.
I'm sure this has been said countless times before,... but, I just don't
ReplyDeletethink this is realistic for many, if not most, of us. I really wish I could
convince myself it was too.
I've been trying to build up my blog into one that can support me traveling
ReplyDeletearound the world for years and years now. It barely pays for itself.
Obviously there's more to it than just wanting, or I'd be a millionaire
already. I believe in following your dreams, but there must be more to it
than that!
4:02 I like to wake up every morning and write stupid youtube comments.
ReplyDeleteDOes this help with my future career? -____-
he needs to slow down...sounds like he consumed way too much coffee.
ReplyDeleteDesde que somos pequeños en la escuela se nos enseñan materias como:
ReplyDeleteMatemáticas, Ciencias Naturales, Historia, etc. básicamente se nos enseña
cómo es que algunos fenómenos naturales ocurren, cuáles son las
composiciones químicas de algunas sustancias que usamos a diario, cómo
funcionan ciertos sistemas, sin embargo nunca se nos enseña lo más
elemental, nunca se nos enseña a conocernos. Es por ello que para muchos es
muy difícil tomar la decisión sobre que carrera elegir para estudiar en la
universidad, porque no sabemos discernir entre aquello que nos gusta y nos
apasiona y lo que creemos más conveniente ya que nos brindará una buena
posición económica. Vivimos en una sociedad totalmente materializada, Se
nos ha enseñado a elegir trabajos en los cuales podamos obtener un buen
sueldo que logre saciar nuestras necesidades materiales, y que nos logre
colocar en una buena posición económica, con ello brindarnos un buen
estatus social sin importar ser infelices a causa del exceso de trabajo o
peor aún realizar un trabajo que no nos gusta.
Me parece que no solo es importante conocernos sino también aprender a
priorizar los valores, y sectores de nuestras vidas a los que queremos dar
mayor importancia.
También es importante encontrar un trabajo que no interfiera con la
práctica de los valores que crees más importantes y que cumpla con ciertas
características que te hagan sentir cómodo en el ambiente laboral.
Encontrar pasión por lo que haces me parece que es otra clave para poder
equilibrar tu vida, ya que la práctica de éste no implicará sacrificio.

practice gratitude and do your best.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like a Tony Robbins cliche. Let me guess, he sells motivational
ReplyDeletebooks, does motivational lectures, and doesn't actually have any other work
he 'loves'. Off to wiki, and to apologize if I'm wrong
No universities on passion, purpose or how to choose a career because the
ReplyDeleteUS public education system teaches you how to think, what to think, when to
think about it and how to be a good worker.
So if you imagine, Scott, a future world where 80% or more of the people
ReplyDeleteenjoy the work they do, who is going to do the more than 80% of the work in
the world (factory jobs, fast food industry,,ditch-diggers, miners,
farm-workers, dishwashers, store clerks etc.) that is by nature boring,
uninspiring, monotonous, and sometimes down-right exploitative!!??
"Scott Dinsmore's mission is to change the world by helping people find
ReplyDeletewhat excites them and build a career around the work only they are capable
of doing. He is a career change strategist whose demoralizing experience at
a Fortune 500 job launched his quest to understand why 80% of adults hate
the work they do, and more importantly, to identify what the other 20% were
doing differently."

What is the work that you can't not do?
ReplyDelete#inspiring
I want to make as much money as possible but i really don't want to work at
ReplyDeleteall.
*chuckles in an unusual fashion* Do what you love? Find out your strengths?
ReplyDeleteWhere do I find a fucking job! Do you have a job for me, or is this just a
huge waste of my time?
Who can translate this viedo to arabic ??
ReplyDeleteHow to find and do the work you love
ReplyDeletethis message needs spreading! shout to everyone in control of their lives!
ReplyDeleteIf we all lived as nature intended we would all be happy. Finding our
ReplyDeletecareers is not natural at all. Take some Indian tribes of the Amazon,they
do even have a word for depression in their languages!! We are designed to
be free,to work when we have to but when we do that work should be our
choice. We are not supposed to get up and 6am and have unflexible routines
that are dictated to us by someone else,this is slavery and the reason for
so much depression in our world,we are slaves to money and the system. Some
of the happiest people on earth live of the lands as their own bosses in
the wilderness. I remember watching a program about a tribe and the
documentary maker asked one of the men if he was happy with his way of life
and his response was "Of course i`m very happy,when i want to eat,i
eat,when i want to hunt,i hunt and when i want to rest,i rest" It`s this
freedom of choice that has been taken from us that`s the problem. This is
what the very rich and the very poor (material wise,as in indiginous
people) have in common as to the reson for their happiness . FREEDOM.....
For the difference in the results that people produce, comes down to what
ReplyDeletethey've done differently from others in the same situation.
