Love it! I'm 4.5 years cancer free and you are right Steve! Since my diagnosis, I've run 6 marathons, started my speaking business, wrote a book, and I live in Germany! Great Steve :-) I didn't do it until 10 May 2010!
I'm dying to inspire people to live their dreams. Through my music and my clothing brand I can see this coming to fruition. As someone who has been on both sides I can't emphasize enough how important it is to figure out your dharma and follow it... Thanks for this speech Steve ;)
My dream is to inspire people through music. Music inspires me and whatever i happen to discover and listen to shapes my entire life. I want to be someone that can motivate and make people happy and inspired
Thirty years ago I had passion.... My best friend was a martial arts enthusiast, golfer and motorcycle rider. He was much like me in that we inspired one another to rise to toward challenges. This TED talk reminded me of how he told me of his wild brother who he quoted as having said, "Those who aren't busy living are busy dying." I think he warmed people too, like Steve.
the most inspiring speech ever given at TED as it is so relatable and makes people question themselves, which is what we don't do everyday. this is definitely not a speech we forget soon after you watch it, this is sth you have to think about carefully and scrupulously . i guess i'm not sleeping tonight....
I'm 25, My dream is to be a Game Developer, Which is why I decided in October of 2017 to learn how to program and learn how games are made so that I can skill up and pursue it. I remember ever since I was a little kid I was fascinated by all the behind-the-scenes for any type of game. I'd watch every video I could get my hands on. I'm fully aware of the pro's and con's of the video game industry but that makes me want to go into it even more. Currently, I'm learning C# and getting better all the time, then I'm gonna move onto the Unity Game Engine to integrate the two. After that, build a portfolio.
It's easy to look at a dream like something way off in the distance. Something that may or may not be accomplished. A thing, an object, a goal. A thought that runs though our mind every now and then. A noun. But dream is also a verb. It has to be lived, it has to be done, it has to furthered, it has to be acted upon. It has to be chased! It's not just an idea or result. To dream encompasses every step it gets to reach there. That hit me, and that hit me hard, sir!

Beautiful speech! So here is my ''I'm dying to''. I'm dying to become rich so that I can help a lot of people, make this world suck less and so that I can meet a celebrity that admire more than anyone. I wont say who it is and it might seems shallow as a dream for many people, but this artist is really like a muse to me, I admire him so much, that it would means the world to me to have the chance to meet him and have a conversation with him. Maybe it's a weird dream, but it's what my heart really want at least right now. So wish me luck lol And good luck to all of you with your dreams! xxxx
He lost me when he said life isn't hard. It's beautiful, magical, and wonderful... but it's also hard. For me at least. Working hard and living check to check, one disaster from being homeless is hard to do day after day. I get what he was trying to say, but I don't agree with him. Realizing that our life here on Earth is finite is a good thing to do, it should motivate. But for some of us, life is hard. Peace.
it's all about how you handle yourself during those disasters. I am living the same life as you, 1 year 7 months ago I was a druggie, and a complete failure. now I am 1 year 7 months clean and sober. still living pay check to paycheck and now I have a baby girl, I would never want a different life. I only want the chance to tell myself "get away from drugs before you waste 10 years and come out 27 and with a kid. don't listen to your parents when they say get a stable job, they are just looking out for you and saying what they think is safe for you. follow your passion, keep programming." now I am going to school nights & weekends, working 40hrs+ a wk and raising a child living paycheck to paycheck, but I have a different better quality of disasters. life will always be hard, we are resilient, and we grow with difficulties. The only people who don't have problems are the dead.
The best lesson I learned about dreams and life was from a Brady Bunch episode when Mike told his son, "not anyone can be a Don Drysdale. Maybe you can, but maybe you can't."
+Victorious Max then study happiness! You already sound like a awesome put but work on becoming a better u! We all can improve something's about ourselves. Then u will become the person you want to be!

I liked it! I am asking to myself this question: What about me being about to die and think, what was the purpose for me to be on this planet? Scary, because I still don't have the answer. The reason is I don't have a dream. I am looking for it though, or perhaps my dream is to find a dream... lol.

ONE OF THE MOST USEFUL TEDX TALKS I'VE EVER SEEN! A MUST WATCH FOR A PRACTICAL SPIN ON DREAMS!
Loved his message. Easily one of the best Tedx talks I've heard.
One of the best Ted talks. Entertaining, inspiring, and delivered like a boss.

Absolutely inspiring!! Thank you, Steve!
Beautiful speech! So here is my ''I'm dying to''. I'm dying to become rich so that I can help a lot of people, make this world suck less and so that I can meet a celebrity that admire more than anyone. I wont say who it is and it might seems shallow as a dream for many people, but this artist is really like a muse to me, I admire him so much, that it would means the world to me to have the chance to meet him and have a conversation with him. Maybe it's a weird dream, but it's what my heart really want at least right now. So wish me luck lol And good luck to all of you with your dreams! xxxx
I love this video. This video is beneficial for those who have their own dream.

Working hard and living check to check, one disaster from being homeless is hard to do day after day. I get what he was trying to say, but I don't agree with him. Realizing that our life here on Earth is finite is a good thing to do, it should motivate. But for some of us, life is hard. Peace.
In his defence, I think he was speaking to a rather upper-middle class audience. After all, this was in San Jose.
please listen first, he was talking about life vs living.
it's all about how you handle yourself during those disasters. I am living the same life as you, 1 year 7 months ago I was a druggie, and a complete failure. now I am 1 year 7 months clean and sober. still living pay check to paycheck and now I have a baby girl, I would never want a different life. I only want the chance to tell myself
"get away from drugs before you waste 10 years and come out 27 and with a kid. don't listen to your parents when they say get a stable job, they are just looking out for you and saying what they think is safe for you. follow your passion, keep programming." now I am going to school nights & weekends, working 40hrs+ a wk and raising a child living paycheck to paycheck, but I have a different better quality of disasters.
life will always be hard, we are resilient, and we grow with difficulties. The only people who don't have problems are the dead.
TheMisterMonkeyman no it isnt

Loved the way life has to be.. True and good one. But when relationships happen, we stop thinking of ourself. Thats the bitter truth too.
Awesome!!
Perfect!

I liked it! I am asking to myself this question: What about me being about to die and think, what was the purpose for me to be on this planet? Scary, because I still don't have the answer. The reason is I don't have a dream. I am looking for it though, or perhaps my dream is to find a dream... lol.
