    this is exactly what an insecure person like me need to watch... yepp be open and vulnerable, let people know who you really are and eventually u will feel connected with somebody who is desperately looking for a person like you

    His sparkling eyes and compelling voice what a power packed lesson for life
    It blows my thoughts because I come from that culture where you are supposed to be tough in order to survive the harsh/stark reality of life

    Nothing seen like this before,that guy risked being laughed at or worse if the audience didn't find any of it funny,
    that sort of thing,reaches,it reaches at a deeper level,touches you and makes you feel "maybe that's what I need to do to,maybe I must be vulnerable,maybe by doing what he did I can be successful and more of a fun person.Let the world know,how exciting of a human I am"-those kind of words.

    • @QuixoticDucky
      @QuixoticDucky 8 лет назад +13

      If you don't risk being laughed at you probably aren't being yourself. Especially with the proliferation of the internet, there is always someone who won't like you or won't get you. Confidence is not about knowing everyone likes you -- that's impossible -- it's about knowing you like you.

    Love this talk! And so true. We are all afraid to be vulnerable and to be ourselves. And often that can hold us back from achieving our full potential. Sometimes when you do allow yourself to be vulnerable, it can give others permission to do the same. And then we just realise that we are all human. And it's OK.

  • @smitty7326
    @smitty7326 8 лет назад +32

    Fantastic. Your focus is on workplace creativity and insecurity, but I think there's also a lot more life lessons to pull from here. Great talk.

    Goddamn, didn't think I'd find a Ted talk about insecurity. Let alone be delivered by someone who struggling in the same job I'm struggling with right now with the exact same insecurities I'm battling.
    This made me feel better. TED is truly psychic

I wish I could have worked with guys like this!" honestly, it would have made my path in life a whole lot easier and a lot less painful. thank you both -am inspired and grateful!!!!

    I LOVE THIS TALK! The imposter syndrome is something that many of us suffer from. It has been helpful to me that so many people spoke up about the imposter syndrome in the recent years at both my schools and work places. This insecurity and lack of confidence makes it really hard to be vulnerable. Thanks for the reminder of a lesson that we can all learn from.

    @exreview6904 10 лет назад +8

    "Innovation and creativity requires you to be vulnerable" . That's a good quote because Ex'pression college now cost $140,000. Getting all these unsuspecting kids into debt before they've matured enough to question the matter isn't a very innovative business model. Especially since Obama has cracked down on some of this nonsense.

    • @prashanthvaidya
      @prashanthvaidya 7 лет назад +6

      True! :)
      The part where it hit me was do not think success would help you get over your insecurities. I needed to hear that.

  • @jamesdragonforce
    @jamesdragonforce 8 лет назад +6

    What I'm picking up here is the point that insecurity stems from a sense of entitlement for many people.
    When you're vulnerable, you are also more honest and humble with yourself, thereby losing the attitude.

  • @Selyidar

    I am openly vulnerable. It doesn't help with my insecurity at all. It just pushes people away, makes them uncomfortable and distancing.
