Sparked by the simple question, “What leads to success?” analyst Richard St. John spent years interviewing other successful people in order to find out what helped them succeed. One of the most important criteria in the formula of success is, doing what you love.
In a nutshell, this is an inspiring video on the secrets of success. Presented in just 3 minutes, it covers the 8 keywords that successful people use as a blueprint to their map of success. Yes it is rather skimming the surface, and obviously there is more to success than just the keywords. But the keywords are the ’key’.
How many of you are practicing this now?

Beng chronologicly endowed and folicly impaired, i wished he spoke slower, expanded the subject more and did itb again.
I don’t like wasting my time watching videos. I don’t watch them. 8 words? Make a list.
Time: invest it wisely
That was a truly awesome video. Ted, you obviously have done some very deep research. Thank you so much for sharing those ideas, and keep them coming!
This is nothing new–lots of people are saying this. How can we really evolve if everyone keeps repeating the same elementary things. While many people mya hear this information for the first time some of us really want to go deep–so please present something really revolutionary.
I’m with Alex — make a list to read. I don’t like videos either.
What is wrong with people. 4 comments above and 3 of them are negative. I dare say Alex wonders why he is not more successful — mind shut, that’s why! Someone once said that successful people don’t need to be taught, just reminded occasionally. The video was good, short– only 3 minutes, and accurate. Much appreciated.
what a bunch of sour puss above. you all arent ready if you are gonna stay so darn negative.
This info. is always worth repeating! We have been negatively programmed by the media, so why not replace it and get positively reprogrammed with something positive, hence the repetition. If you think you are so smart and deep, you should be teaching US something, Raymond.
maybe we have to hear the same thing over and over because we are not listening and applying it. I like the way this was presented and thought it was fun. Thank you.
I would like a list. I cannot open the video
Hi, I would add to Harmony a little message, I observed that we are programmed to be DUMB. Just follow the leader, and stupid, blind, mute, deaf, get over the edge, no matter what. Look around ourselves! All Telemarketing, Global warming, story’s about the Credit cards — spent money without thinking! Than Panic! After; No one know’s how to fix. Healthcare, Economy… etc. Education is almost to the level of Stone Age. “Can you rub stone to stone to create fire? Good man! You Graduated! Next.…” And we never take in consideration education or to listen and think! Very few go with Passion and Work for the Passion but must Focus and Persist in work and focus for that passion in search for Ideas, making it better and better Good, but Push is so hard and all is dropped by this. ?Who do you think I am to Push? I have Passion,Worked for Focus Persisted In creation of Ideas I am Good at You go ahead and Push and Serve me!! Get it? That’s where we are: No fundamental’s Every one of them wanted to pick up only the finale! The End is to Push and Serve and there goes the failure. No Success only pushing and Serving.
Awesome video! Short, sweet and funny. I will pass this on to others with gratitude. Wishing you the very best, Ray
Thank you for Your time to give us free information that we can Choose to help us if we apply it. The bottom line. It is up to each individual to plow their own field.
I couldn’t get the video to work either.
However, for those who can’t see it, the original is hosted at ted.com, here.
Excellent! I work with troubled teens, I would love to see and have THEM and their school mates see the two hour version! This 3 minute quickie presentation succintly and humourously presents the subject.
Pearls befor swine? No, take no offence, we’ve all had ‘brain block’. It fades in perspective after age 50 usually.
Say NimRods, (that’s half a ‘numbskull’) it’s ‘OK’ that you are left brain dominate, just know that the right right evokes 85% of the passion that Makes Things Happen! With ‘leftbrainers’ you gota get the logical written facts first. (what I call ‘Bankers Brain’). Armed with z facts tells U:> Why you Need to ‘Turn On’ your Right Side ‘Go Get-er Done’ Attitude! & then Away U Go!
Reprogram, relax, release and enjoy the pleasure with some one who is ‘Tuned IN, Open and Free’. Take what you like from this ‘fired up, justly excited guy’ and some other day/year when you dumb down the intellect, ‘Suprise’! The same message written or spoken will have a fresh ‘WOW’ impact & meaning!
At least 80+% of Bright Lights’ Folks will get this message far better than print & basic non emotional data. (remember ‘Data’, he was z ultimate Spock.) ‘Just Z Facts’ mam, just the plain dry bone facts.(fade to dullsvill) The Truth ‘rhymes & resoniates’ with logical harmonious thinking. ‘Truth is that Simple & Sweet’. Say it Strong, Say it Often, and…Make it Burn! Thats the ‘Way’ to deliver an important message.
For me personally, I want to record this three minute power point and have it ready to turn on instead of the snooze alarm. JAZZ up my sleepy brain cells pumped into: (hear the movie producer ‘promp bar’ (what are thouse things called) Saped down and the Shout: ‘ACTION’! For Sure>Make It A Great Day.

Thank you for stimulating me, I had ‘Endorphin Fun’ writing this.
I loved this mini– information may be already out there but Ted’s presentation is Fun! and perfect for the time frame — and a kids atttention span!!! which by the way i happen to have Today!!
Worth watching an passing on to beginners, as well– beats those chain emails you get saying your lonely if you only have one friend!!
Maybe there are 8 keywords. I prefer 1 key phrase. “Relaxed Concentration”.
By this I am able to “attract” ideas that show the next step to take and then the road-map. Thus there exists an “on-going interest” . This leads me to solutions I don’t know ever existed. Thus I feel like getting “pulled” to the solution.
By “Relaxed” Concentration, I am able to conserve energy and also have fun.
I did like the concept of shortening broad concepts to few words that can be easily recognized by subjective mind and thus opening a gate to mentally repeat the steps as “mantra”.
i love it lol that C.R.A.P.
lol that C.R.A.P. thing was funny this video is real quick and to the point…its awsome!
sorry i didnt mean to submit the very first one
WAT TO SAY
SHE SAY NOTHING ;0)
SIMPLICITY IS THE ANSWER YOU DID IT RIGHT TO MANY WORDS CLUD A SUBJECT SIMPLICITY IS THE ANSWER GREAT VIDEO
SIMOLICITY IS THE ANSWER YOU GOT A GERAT VIDEO FANTASTIC THANKS
Outstanding! Yes, everyone learns differently, which is why multimedia is so powerful. Yes, we need postive reminders (especially with all the negative we get each day from the media). Yes, distilling the complex into the simple is critical (KISS). Yes, JUST DO IT is still the best way to create anything you want to create.…do it, believing. THANK YOU, Richard, for your research and distilling down a two hour presentation into this short, effective video. Unbelievable that some people think investing 3 minutes of their time to hear something so important and distilled is a waste of time! And for those who wanted a list.…I did too, and I made one as I listened! Stop complaining and start taking responsibility!
Pretty Cool Vid, for those unable to watch … the keywords are: Passion, Ideas, Work, Focus, Push, Good, Serve, and Persist. Namaste!

Simple and sweet. What resonated for me was Passion and Serve.
In my opinion this video was great, with obvious compassion for a desire to help people succeed and added some humor which is always appreciated. If you don’t have time for videos take two seconds to click away from it and you obviously had time to make a demeaning comment, so really, come on, how precious is your time? If you have all these negetive comments why are yal here in the first place? I’ve only been on this site for an hour and can see the positive revolutionary messages the people that work hard and are genuine are trying to achieve!!! So overall I say, jolly good job to those making positive comments and obviously want to better life for the greater good, or even respectfully critisizing, but to those of you who aren’t maybe check yourselves again get over it gain some real confidence…oh maybe read an article I just read on this sight called “Stop Taking Things Personally”. And also to those of you positive go getters I really feel if you believe in this ultimate good as I, check out http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com there are wonderful things there.…Let’s start a revolution as one
Hi,
Please provide the transcripts for all audio/video stuff you provide. I am missing on the contents as it is difficult for me to watch audio/video.
Pls because I really want to know what you are providing.
Thanks,
Roshini.
Great and funny, but the “A…” word couild be changed to “Jerks”. Enjoyed it.
Enjoyed it and it was worth listening to. Suggestion: Change the “A…” word to “Jerks” or “Know-it-alls”. Five starts.
