Thanks for the nothing. Everyone knows if you have a goal you are golden.
BUT how can you find worthy goals in your life, which can keep you
interested in the long run and can also put bread on the table? That is the
real question which was again not answered in this talk either.
The truth of life has been revealed, the truth is you are not in control,
you just react to your environment always. Free will is an illusion. Google *Truth
contest* and check out the truth the evidence suggests.
dlwatib> He’s over-confident and over-authoritative in his hand gestures.
He points his fingers too much, especially at the audience…
I disagree, IMO, his hand gestures are articulate, and well-related to what
he’s saying.
dlwatib> His default hand position is the “tented hands” self-confidence
gesture.
His ‘default hand position’ is with the fingers of each hand resting on the
corresponding fingers of the other hand, and both hands at rest above the
solar plexus. I see this as a balanced, focused position. And where did
you say your degree in body language is from?
HI, I’m a 20 year old with Aspergers which is an antisocial disorder. If I
have a problem communicating my feelings and opinions to other irl, what do
“I” need to do? To become Self-motivated.
As a psychiatrist I can tell you that in general the field of psychiatry
really doesn’t allow enough freedom of action on people’s part… An awful
lot of problems that get labeled as psychological problems really amount to
people making rotten choices…
I find it hard to get motivated working for somebody else I know I can
probably come up with strategies to get myself motivated but nothing is
going to motivate me as much as working for myself being in charge of my
own destiny and actually having a chance to make what I’m actually worth
because it’s all up to me I learned that decided to start my own business
it’s worked out well for me
He’s over-confident and over-authoritative in his hand gestures. He points
his fingers too much, especially at the audience. And he also uses a lot of
“hands down” power gestures over the audience. His default hand position is
the “tented hands” self-confidence gesture.
The talk itself is OK, but could certainly be improved. There are a couple
of TED talks that make clear that it’s not just any praise that is
important to receive, but praise of effort that focuses attention on
learning and improvement rather than achievement.
Amazing lecture!!! He really explain about the process of self-motivation
and how it can affect our live, but he too explain that in the same time we
learn and teach.
Of course the concept of “online training” exists. You learn online what to
do by watching videos and reading stuff, then you do it int he physical
world. There is no contradiction of any kind; the guy just doesn´t seem to
understand the concept.
i hope all this internet stuff awakens enough of the population on this
planet to exponentially accelerate our evolution before we self distruct
from ignorance
I think he has too much faith in our “education” system by distinguishing
between it and training. It’s basically just unskilled laborer training.
That’s the primary function of (public) schools today: to train a workforce
to get up in the morning, go in to work all day (and you better be on time
damn it), always follow instructions even if there’s a quicker and/or
better way, and never question people with authority over you.
Thank you very much Professor Geller. I feel like a success seeker now.
This has changed the way I see many things. This information has
dramatically changed my life.

Productivity and Quality. He has written numerous articles and books,
including When No One’s Watching: Living and Leading Self-motivation. Scott
will examine how we can become self-motivated in “The Psychology of
Self-Motivation.”
I think Scott Geller’s hand and arm movements/actions are really quite
articulate. They complement his verbal presentation very well. Almost a
hand-ballet…
Live long enough you will understand goals and there is so much to have–but
we have educated generations to destroy our imagination in public schools.
To learn to trust your intuition – which is your best friend. Look up
Napoleon Hill: Conversation with the Devil. It’s on youtube.com and in
audio form.
bla bla. Nothing new here, 100 s of books on motivation, thought there was
more technique. Gr8 speech if you have never read or heard these basic
facts of motivation.Nothing special in this speech at all, only an elderly
man trying to be witty who has had lots of coffee. No offense though!
All three questions are written in same oder in chankya neeti,an indian
scholar named chsnkya written that in 1000 ad best thing if you want
anything about life

My first and only hero told it to me it best, sixty-odd years ago,
“I ain’t got no edjalalacation, but I got SENSE like NOBODY’S bizznezzz!”
An, he was RIGHT! That’s howcome I am what I AM!
Just eat yer SPINNITCH!!!!!!
This was a fantastic ted talk

HI, I’m a 20 year old with Aspergers which is an antisocial disorder. If I
have a problem communicating my feelings and opinions to other irl, what do
“I” need to do? To become Self-motivated.
Can anyone reply to my comment with the 3 questions? I am too lazy to go
back and write them down…
His way of speaking and body language reminds me of Walter White
As a psychiatrist I can tell you that in general the field of psychiatry
really doesn’t allow enough freedom of action on people’s part… An awful
lot of problems that get labeled as psychological problems really amount to
people making rotten choices…
I thought he was going to come on and say “I’m so pumped about this talk”
atitude is everything, i’ve always believed that
I can tell you one thing that will make you more confident; not wearing
that shirt.
Do you have 15 minutes?
I am 45 Years young and everyday, I do push ups about 150 a day.
I find it hard to get motivated working for somebody else I know I can
probably come up with strategies to get myself motivated but nothing is
going to motivate me as much as working for myself being in charge of my
own destiny and actually having a chance to make what I’m actually worth
because it’s all up to me I learned that decided to start my own business

Online Training is entirely possible… if you’re a software designer,
software operator, or software developer.

I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is cool.
Country music doesn’t work ? Online training doesn’t work?
This talk was clear, concise, colourful, captivating.
Fantastic, what a great speaker!
Brilliant TED talk! One of my favourites.
