Ubuntu: The One Word to Change How You Work, Live and Lead | Shola Richards | TEDxSouthLakeTahoe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2020
- What if our global mindset was refocused on the transcendent concept of Ubuntu - the African philosophy that represents the power of human connectedness, kindness and compassion? In this vulnerable and thought-provoking talk, Shola Richards addresses that important question, while showing how Ubuntu can be used to transform how we work, live and lead. Some people call me a cheerleader (admittedly, I'm a natural at enthusiasm), but I'm actually a champion of those who value integrity.
Because really, what's more important than the principles we exude...and thus, the principles we spread?
A father, husband, son, brother, friend, author, keynote speaker, and also the founder of The Positivity Solution.

His personal mission is simple: To help more people live and work with more positivity. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Came for an operating system, stayed for humanity.
Same bro @
Me too.
Totally
Ubuntu was named Ubuntu because its open source and based on community and building something together.
The founder is South African.
Edit: I was also on a deep dive in linux distro's I wanted to swith to Kali OS from ubuntu but I'm also South African
My life changed too after I changed from Vista to Ubuntu.
Obuntu is also the freedom to be ourselves with the compassion and understanding of our fellow human beings. ❤❤❤
I'm here after reading Shola's Fb post that went viral and find this message equally important. His mosquito analogy was an "Aha" moment for me.
Yup, same here. I'm gonna "be a mosquito" and share this.......
UBUNTU! This inspiration drives one to be a better person. We live by examples of words of kindness and actions of compassion. Continue spreading this message that the world may hear, Ubuntu, Ubuntu!
No matter what someone does it is never appropriate to bully them. If they're the worst employee you ever had it is never necessary to bully them. Bullying is never required or necessary
Found Shola this morning and could not have come at a better time. Ubuntu. Spread the word.
This is one of the most powerful talks I've seen. Beautiful, heartbreaking, and an invitation to be kinder, more compassionate, and more connected. Thank you, Shola! Ubuntu.
"I am ... because We are..." THANK YOU MOSQUITO!
I found Shola's positivity website in 2016 when I was at a low in my life. I was stuck in a rut, working 40+ hours at a paycheck job. It felt like I was wasting my life, my time and my years. Reading his blog posts made me have a different outlook on life and to realize that life was meant to be lived, positively and happily. Ever since, I have had the pleasure in meeting him in NYC. I read both his books, look forward to his Monday morning emails and absolutely love the messages he gets across. His enthusiasm is so inspiring and I was so excited to hear he was giving a TED talk. TED talks are the best and this one was so awesome! Thank you so much for all the work that you do and continue to do!
I am here after reading Shola's post on FB about only feeling safe when walking in the neighbourhood with his daughter and dog. I have had a very deep connection to the word Ubuntu for some time, so much so, I named my blog "The Ubuntu Diaries". I am grateful that Shola is sharing this important message. It is up to us to elevate humanity and lead/work/live with Ubuntu in our everyday.
Ubuntu - a great concept, I have read both of the books written by Shola and continuously go back to them as touchstones for leading positively and with compassion. Worth the watch!
And what about Michael Tellinger's Ubuntu philosophy?
YESSS! I found myself nodding along the whole time Shola was speaking, and clapping at the end. (At home, alone in my living room...) I feel such a connection to Shola's words -- I am doing very similar work, with a slightly different approach and messaging, but the refrains of kindness, compassion, and our shared humanity resonated so deeply with my own work. I hope this TEDx hits 1 million views very, very soon.
We've had Shola Richards as a keynote speaker at one of our conferences -- he is inspiring!
There are few moments in life that truly resonate and stay with you, this is one of them.
This made me imagine some Western-African fusion philosophy...
After all... The only reason you have something to think about is because *we* are, and by being, share something with all others. Thus the stuff of our being entertains our thinking and becomes the media through which we realize our existence. In this sense, perspectives and selves can identify only through a shared reality and therefore a shared truth through interoperability must underline it all. I think therefore I am because we are - cogito ergo sum quod sunt, ngicabanga ngakho-ke nginguye umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu. Cogito ubuntu, I think I am because we are.
Absolutely "Right on spot"! The time must be Now. Everywhere for all.
The message given is not just for employers but for all. Schools should make this mandatory as well. Thank you so much.
Thank you! There is strength in our diversity! Compassion, kindness, connectedness! I am a Registered Nurse & Music Major with Faith!
So thankful to hear this message! Shola is such an uplifting and engaging presence- loved this Ted Talk! Feeling inspired and opening my heart and mind to the internal work and change that this has sparked within me. We have to start by being the example ourselves... thank you Shola for leading by example. It’s been an honor to know Shola for the past 7 years. My quality of life continues to improve because of his message and light. So happy that more people around the world will have the opportunity to connect with him and hear his loving words and powerful stories.
Following your FB post because I wanted to hear more. I'm glad you're here so you can walk with your daughter & dog.
Thanks to CBS This Morning i found you! I too was in an abusive work environment. Toward the end the company moved Human Resources to another state. My boss would randomly target me publicly or call me into his office and scream at me. After a month of this and finally in desperation, in the most loving way i could muster, i asked “Is there something going on in your life?” The anger drained from him. His body slumped. Yes there was an issue in his life. We talked a bit heart to heart. Ubuntu. He stopped the abusive behavior
Wow! This took guts! How are things presently?
I had the privilege of listening his speech two years ago biut even today listening to him in this video let me think how I am embracing to live with love, compassion and interconnectedness. I really believe I AM BECAUSE WE ARE. Thank you Shola for try to make this world a better place for everyone.
UBUNTU and I clicked. I have also made a podcast on Linux Hindi
Edit:- I thought it was a ted talk on operating system UBUNTU but this was about the meaning of the term UBUNTU "I am because we are". And this tedtalk I will never ever forget in my life. Glad I made this mistake,.
Thank you Shola for sharing such an inspiring message. This is what the world need more of today! Ubuntu...I am because we are!
Shola is brilliant. This moving TEDTalk deeply inspired me with his accurate observation that the answer to all that ails others and ourselves is kindness, caring and compassion. Giving and getting. Simple -- but hard. Really, really hard. As Shola accurately says, if we want to change the world, we have to BE the change we so desperately want. We have to deliver kindness, caring and compassion to those in pain to help heal them and ourselves. The world is full of pain and the only solution is respect, inclusion and a desire to help our fellow human beings through that suffering. Ubuntu indeed. And, if not now, when? And, if not us, who? BTW, if Shola runs for President in November I'M VOTING FOR HIM! He is the living embodiment of kindness, caring and compassion. Bravo!
A true leader you are Shola! I've had the pleasure of working with you. I am blessed. Thank you :)
Uplifting and comforting speech! Thank you Shola for your kindess to share Ubuntu with us.
Your wisdom and perspectives continue to resonate in me. Thank you Shola!
Such a fantastic speech. I'm so inspired by Shola and love this concept of Ubuntu!
Then you're gonna love Michael Tellinger and his Ubuntu philosophy.
Bravo, Shola Richards! Your message warms the heart and soul!!
Kindness! Connection! and Compassion! Word 💯
Wow! Thank you for sharing this experience. I am at a lost of words for the feeling that this gave me well watching it.
Just what I needed to hear today. Peacemakers need leaders like you to show us the way forward. Thank you.
wonderful, we all need more compassion and humanity - and people TO teach and open people's minds to the postive possibilities we all can bring into the world.
Thank you so much, Shola, for your courage and shining spirit, and for sharing these messages! Such important work you are doing. Ubuntu forever!
Anti-bullying focuses on wrong behavior and can easily be misused to silence people or bully them on an organizational level.
I like and feel the idea of Ubuntu. Each employer should have a "compassion culture". That is a positive value to focus on, not a ban.
After retirement in 1-1-11; I moved with my beautiful Dominican wife to her house in her country. We are married now for 20 years, 8 years in Antwerp (EU) and 12 years in Santiago de los Caballeros (RD). My wife is sometimes a little bit too enthusiastic "Ubuntu" for family and friends and we have sometimes some month left at the end of my pension. A retired man needs a nice, inexpensive hobby, so at the same time I also changed from Vista to Ubuntu.
However I never regretted, that "Ubuntu" came into our lives, fixing issues is so much more easy :)
Amazingly simple and intensely needed concept. Thank you, Shola, for sharing UBUNTU to the world!
Michael Tellinger beat him to it.
What a wonderful, practical message. One we definately need, especially now. Thanks Shola!
Love the concept and practical approach for both workplaces and communities that Shola shares in this Ted Talk. Inspiring and relevant.
Such a blessing you are Shola...
This is very uplifting. Thank you for blessing us with such a profound message.
Love you and the message Shola! Can't stop, Won't stop...sharing the love.
I had a dream about this word. I’m floored at its meaning.
Cisco Systems in its visionary presentation presented the idea of people with active member accounts walking into their work spaces at their joint collaboration atmosphere-environment offices and just log on to have tables automatically adjust themselves to their respective heights etc.
Clicked on this thinking it was Ubuntu Linux ended hearing a nice talk about the true meaning of Ubuntu.
Ubuntu indeed is the best Linux!
Diversity Equity and Inclusion deserves a deeper dive than this smooth over. Embracing authentic principles of our First Peoples is a movement of intent. Nice start thought!
Thank you for giving this talk i really loved the message. Hope to see another in the future from you.
Ubuntu means Humanness. As a point of correction. "I am because you are" is the root philosophy.
Muntu, Munhu, Buntu etc means a human being.
Shola: Spot on!!! One exception: This is a GLOBAL issue!!! Of course depending on where one might live, the severity index is higher or lower..none the less, I have followed you for several years and I would like to congratulate you on your success! Although, why does everyone pick on "Karen"? Yes, thank you MOSQUITO!!!! :-)
The existing system must first, fall 😍
Thank you!
Thanks Shola for that message. You inspire me to keep going.
Thank you.
Spread Love ❤️!
"Shared humanity" Now more than ever this must be a time to come together yet the "issues" continue to divide. We are a humans and need to start realizing that we are all connected in one way or another. The 'bullies' need the most love. Racism is taught. What we allow will continue, its time for change.
Wow, what a giant of a man!
Beautiful! Thank you!💗
TRUTH!!!
❤
Powerful! Thanks for sharing!
Great job! Well said
I know you came here expecting the talk about Ubuntu OS.
Coming from the Southern African culture where Ubuntu is in my mother tongue isiXhosa and isiZulu I take it for granted that people don't know it as a philosophy and as a pure essence of humanness and human dignity and interconnectedness and mutual respect. "Umntu ngumntu ngabantu" (A person is a person because of other people). I am because we are.
Life is only hard becuae of people's lack of compassion
This is truer than anyone seems to understand.
UBUNTU IS LIFE
Shola you are my mosquito. This was wonderful! Elizabeth B.
sudo apt install very-interesting
Not being (wrong) isn't enough - it never was. Sitting in the stands isn't supporting your team. Waiting on the sidelines isn't suiting up. We can challenge others with respect without respecting the wrong. We can challenge fear and ignorance with compassion. Only hoping those facing oppression will figure it out is oppression.
Incrível!
That how i feel with ubuntu
Ubuntu continue sir it's Bantu people Ubuntu mean I am and we are?? We are chosen children of Judah God United we stand
Finally a real human
Thank you ❤️ I needed this heart ❤️ #🦟
Who is here after marathi movie Ubuntu?
Michael Tellinger, anyone? Nobody else is here for that Ubuntu? You're gonna want to check that out if you enjoyed this presentation.
Democracy is awesome.
Ubuntu is promising.
Lots to learn from.
People are already talking about cross-platform integration.
Microsoft has already identified the importance of Ubuntu and tries to bridge the communication gap by making Microsoft devices able to communicate with Ubuntu based devices.
Still waiting for him to mention mention Michael Tellinger.
Yeah, but why does it boot up to quarter screen in virtual box? And why do YT algorithm keeps giving me these clips?!!
We are living in the networking age.
One question which will probably get me in the rabbit hole. Why does the government get away with it
hi SHOLA RICHARDS
I don't know you. I love you.
I'm a bit sceptical about this philosophy, seeing how "successfully" Africa has implemented it.
CANNONICAL IS PAYING HIM!!!!!!!!
So Linux dev's appropriated the name?
Sterling !
omg. Felt like God was speaking.
“UBUNTU” is an African word. But it does not mean “ I AM” especially because it is a language from my people.(Xhosa/Nguni/Zulu).
“UBUNTU” means “Humanity or TO BE HUMAN”.( UBUNTU is The act of being human)
“ABANTU” means “HUMANS or PEOPLE”.
“I AM AFRICAN” means “ “NDINGUM AFRIKA”
how about we all just get rid of work and money, this solve a lot of problems
1:08 deserves a whole seperate standing O
Dang I thought this was a Linux TEDx Talk
I came here when I searched linux
Duuuuude xD me too. But the talk is worth it
All you did was re-package identity politics into ubuntu, undermining the stronger values of this perspective...
I prefer Debian tho
9:00 Jeff Bezos, is that you??
A leader is an egomaniac, not compatible with equanimity. This guy is not real. He is just a preacher.
What about Michael Tellinger?
I can’t listen to what word what you say too much NLP fakeness and acting 👎🏽
"Be a mosquito!"
UBUNTU 🤍
