- Scott Dinsmore's mission is to change the world by helping people find what excites them and build a career around the work only they are capable of doing. He is a career change strategist whose demoralizing experience at a Fortune 500 job launched his quest to understand why 80% of adults hate the work they do, and more importantly, to identify what the other 20% were doing differently. His research led to experiences with thousands of employees and entrepreneurs from 158 countries. Scott distilled the results down to his Passionate Work Framework - three surprisingly simple practices for finding and doing work you love, that all happen to be completely within our control. He makes his career tools available free to the public through his community at LiveYourLegend.net

Well that's me fucked.
+Mister F Me too!

2012 - gives very motivating ted talk
2015- dead after a accident
2020- his ted talk is just superhit since 2012.
Hope god gives this men rest in heaven
Oh man... Hopefully his walk with God was right above all. Careers are temporary.
Wow really
East Bay entrepreneur, author Scott Dinsmore killed while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro
🙏😔
At least he was doing something he dreamed of doing!
RIP Scott - Very inspiring fellow.
Here's the summary of his talk "What is the work you CAN'T NOT do?"
[1st step is to become an expert on yourself]
-Analyze your strengths, find out what you naturally enjoy doing.
-Discover your values: What is "Success" for you? Is it being very rich? Very healthy? Having a big family?
[2nd do the impossible]
-Challenge yourself more and more. The more you accomplish, the more you realize you CAN accomplish
[3rd surround yourself with the right people]
-Make friends with people who are positive and doing the things that you wish you could be doing. Your environment is definitely something you can change
-Do you have any negative people in your life? Get rid of them - they're not helping you
These are all things you can control, so figure out what it is you need to do and do it.
Fantastic
lol it not evn dat big
QuickTalks awesome advice, this video was completely eye opening and has helped me in choosing my career path...amazing...so freaking amazing!
Appreciated :) Thx a a lot!!
QuickTalks why are there SO many spam replies on this comment lol
alrighty then, I'm becoming a hotel bed tester
TelepathicTortoise hahaha...😂
Lol...Damn!!
TelepathicTortoise FUN!!!
there are actually jobs where you lay in hotel beds to warm them up for guests in China
I bet you that you could win Got Talent! A telepath could also probably join the Avengers. 😉 Who needs strenth and speed when you can defeat villans by sitting and thinking!
RIP Scott. You were truly an inspiration.
Danny Gleason what :(
He was hit by falling rocks while ascending Mount Kilimanjaro -- doing what he loved and living life to the fullest.
Omg, I had no clue. I came across his blog bc I was trying to seek answers on passion, purpose, or a career that suits me. I am so confused & now I am saddened to hear he passed away. Thank you for sharing! May he R.I.P.
@@sweatyeti This is almost funny.
@@Kisuke323 I was replying to Kiera, stating facts of his tragic fate. But, you're right...
It's as if his Dungeon Master was fed up with his Mary Sue of a character, perfect and happy in every way, and was like "That's it! Rocks fall, you die! No more fun for you!"
Everyone is trying to get more motivated and achieve their dreams and goals... And then there's me with no dreams or goals 😓
DIY Monster Maybe you're already living your dream and you just don't know it yet. Are you happy just the way things are? If so, sounds like a great place to be.
The thing is, I'm not happy 😕 It just feels like I can do so much more yet I don't know what to do 😭
Yes, I've been there many times. Have you thought about trying out a few things to see where your passions may reside? What are you naturally good at and do you like doing that? Sometimes you just have to get out there and start doing something and then you can start eliminating the things that don't hold your interest. There is something out there or inside of you that will spark your passion. Some people know what that is right away and some folks like us have to search for it and that's okay. Sounds like it's time to experiment! Good luck! Have fun!
Thank you for taking your time to reply to my comment 💘 That helped a lot! Thank you so much 😊
DIY Monster by reading your account name, I know already your passion. :) cheers
"The fastest way to do things you don't think can be done, is to surround yourself with people already doing them."
I think Scott and his family should be proud that even after his life ended, he is still inspiring others to live their lives and achieve their dreams. Their success is in a small way Scott's success, and I think that is a legacy to be proud of. R.I.P.
How he died
This is great info... IF... you don't already have a family to support or you have parents that are financially well off. Sometimes the things we hate doing keep a roof over your head and food on the table.
Not excuse, it's a question of priorities. Some people value family over ambition. And, in extreme cases, money means family, especially with the impoverished.
***** Some don't have a choice. Don't make this black and white, it's what stupid people do.
***** What the fuck lol, I can watch whatever videos I want, and I'm not arguing from my point of view, I'm being pragmatic. And I wasn't disagreeing with the video or mocking it, I was disagreeing with your broad statements with no basis in reality.
***** There are. There ARE also people who struggle to put a meal on the table. Are you gonna tell the guy working 60 hours a week barely paying his bills with no savings to also chase his dreams? To the poorest of the poor, their dream is to be able to know they can afford a night out to eat. To the displaced refugees, their dream is to survive etc. You get the gist.

This was the talk I needed to see and hear 20 years ago. I just found it, and to learn this inspiring person is not with us anymore is so sad. Thank you, Scott. May you rest in peace.
I just found this TEDxTalk today and I got so pumped! I just knew in my mind that this young man had a book released, so I began to Google it. After a couple of seconds of research, I realized that this man passed away while hiking mountains making his way around the world. I just broke down and cried. What a wonderful soul to give us this short, yet powerful message before ascending. I believe he fulfilled what he was meant to do in this life and that he'll be back.
There's something so earnest and honest in the way he talks, does it so naturally and I guess that is why he is believable and so inspiring. Rest in peace Scott
What I like most about this Ted talk is that he talks about doing the " impossible" doing YOUR best.and also the importance of who you surround yourself with and your environment. So true!
Scott died this past weekend while climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro during his extended vacation and world tour with his wife Chelsea (I don't have details yet). I never knew him personally, only through being Facebook friends online. He was truly someone I thought of as invincible--larger than life. Such an inspiring guy and such a beautiful soul. His light will undoubtedly continue to shine on through his legacy and the lives he touched along the way. Please keep his wife in your thoughts and prayers.
Wow ! sad to hear but happy it was doing and pushing his limits, Well done Scott Dinsmore practicing what you preach sad to hear you're gone. Quite often the right and inspiring die young that in itself for those who have heard Scott speak will be inspired to push onward and upward.

What??
Scott Dinsmore died nearly a year ago in an accident on Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Jenna F That fucking sucks
Yes.
Rest In Peace Scott! I know this is years later, but your words will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for the inspiration...and helping me understand my legend. 🙏
This is the best TED talk I have ever seen. Its what I am ALL about. I think a majority of us have our passions and find this environment, but whether or not we dive in head first really gauges that rate at which we can challenge our own impossibilities. I know personally I have gotten a taste for what it feels like to be the least qualified in a room or less athletic on a team. It puts you in a position where you're willing to feel humility, to learn and grow. These situations let you set your bar on reality much higher than if you had placed your self in a more comfortable situation. Its hard to continually pursue that environment that forces you to expand your realm of possibilities, but that's why it is so rewarding.
Out of total shock and sadness and utter empathy for Scott's wife Chelsea and his family, I have come to realise this: If there is anything we can do to make Scott’s totally unfair sudden passing not a complete tragedy to mankind it is to take what he started and make it into something even more massive. Because I’m sure that’s what he would have done if he was still here. So let’s all do (more of) what we love and let’s not waste our potential. Let’s inspire more and more people around us to do the same and by that help make the world the much better place it can be. And let’s take his and Chelsea’s example and live life to the fullest. Let’s make the most of the now and enjoy the little things no matter how busy we may be. Let’s always be brave enough to be the best versions of ourselves and thereby giving our loved ones and beautiful planet what they deserve. Let’s live following the excellent example Scott set. Let’s all live our legend and make Scott proud.
I wasn’t aware that he died. I just looked him up. At least he died doing what he loved and started a movement that continues to this day. I’m sure he’s watching it all from the best seat.
17:09 - 17:43 Goosebumps! Thank you Scott, what an amazing person you were in this world.
A clarity in the middle of chaos. Thank you Scott. Beautiful soul you are.
You are a true inspiration Scott.

+Thomson Muriyadan (thedigitalmonk) wow...RIP Scott ...
Thanks Thomson, I knew!
aw thats so sad:(
Evidently, he didn't choose his actions well enough.
Thank you Scott! You came through this video at the right time in my life. You moved on too quickly, but I guess you learned what you came here to learn and lived it! And then it was time for you to move on.
But before moving on you taught us and showed us the lesson you learnt, practically, by living it.
Your moving on just drove home the point - Life is too short and unpredictable. And that we need to follow the way our heart tells us to. Then we can leave this planet without any regrets. God Bless You! RIP.
RIP Scott Dinsmore. Thank you for the inspiration. It is too bad I only learned of you after your passing. I hope your wife and family find peace and good fortune in the future.
RIP Scott. I read about your tragic passing in 2018. Sincere condolences your dear wife and family. Thank you for helping others with your TEDtalk.
RIP Brother. Didn't know what happened to you until I read the comment section. Glad to know that you are now a shining angel living a happy eternity.
God bless.

It's him :(
+jagjit bhatia RIP
He gives inspirational talks to the Angels
💕 It’s hard to imagine how young and how much of a passionate life he left behind on earth. His legacy will forever be engraved in my soul. Thank you Scott ❤️
This guy changed my life and outlook with this talk, I was so sad to hear about him passing. Few years back. Literally changed my career!
I listened to this Ted talk for the first time last year as motivation whenever I worked in a warehouse as a seasonal material handler. I was hopeless and needed some type of escape from the work I was doing. This talk inspired me to never settle in a life that doesn't bring me fulfillment and happiness, and I've watched it easily over 10 times since that day. I'm sorry to hear that this man has lost his life, since he helped spark such a desire for better in mine. I hope his family and wife can find peace. Rest easy, and thank you for everything.
3 things 100% in our control 1) surround yourself with passionate ppl
2) Learn about yourself 3) Learn your own impossible and push that.
I do agree for 1 and 2 you said as I tested in self. I discovered and surrounded with passionate ppl who inspire me and it is real in our control and learning about self as well and now I am ready to test for 3 . Thank you
That's why I'm surrounded by only affiliate marketers on my Facebook because I want to excel in that. I am constantly learning about myself as well. As far as impossible, I'm training for a bodybuilding competition in October and recording my own music. I'm going hard starting tomorrow, doing a walk, a combination of walk/run and then a whole hour of running after that. So, 3 hours of working out.
@@cartergomez5390top g!
This was an AMAZING talk. People say it's fluff because it's more of a philosophy, purpose is not something that can be answered for you. Like he said it's not about doing something crazy, it's about making life something that matters to YOU. Surrounding yourself with people that inspire YOU. It's going to look different for each person. Really think about the fact that life can be gone without warning at any second, just like this young man. Each second you have, fill it with something that feeds your soul. He did live out HIS dream- he wanted to help people discover their passion and purpose. Understandably, not everyone can switch their environment or quit their day job...I don't think that was the point. For example, if your family means everything to you, supporting them is doing something that matters to you. That's the point. Also, it's never too late to begin projects or to change your lifestyle- even if it's just in small ways. I mean no one has life "figured out", we all just have to try our hardest to make it work for ourselves.
Very informative. I ask myself everyday what am I afraid of? What is stopping me from doing something that I love. I can strongly agree with you when you mentioned surrounding yourself with positive individuals who share the same passions as you because you can learn from them and it will only help you expand your dreams.
Rest In Peace Scott! I know this is years later, but your words will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for the inspiration...and helping me understand my legend.
I feel blessed because I love teaching children. To not be apart of that 80% feels good. He put things in a great perspective too. Great video!
I was knitting when he said, "I don't care what it is you're into, what passion, what hobby; if you're into knitting you can find someone.."
I heard the news of your passing through Leo's blog post, so I came back to watch this video again. Your legend will live on. RIP.
I am so touched and saddened by his death. So young, charismatic and full of life. It's hard to accept that someone so young is gone. But what better way to go that knowing you made your great work come true, to help others. In that way he is not truly gone part of him lives, his legacy lives. RIP my friend.
The people responding in these comments that choose to complain about mundane things they see in the video or that are introducing all the reasons why they think the message is flawed or can't be done... Have already made their decision.
RIP Scott.
Loved your story about swimming across the San Francisco Bay.
You're a visionary.
Great use of the Henry David Thoreau quote. "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."
thanks, great quote
***** I don't understand it
could you explain it please !?
Ahmed Khashaba most people have a great feeling of longing that they hold inside. like they have a dream that never comes true.
Finding a passion is so important. When you meet equally passionate people you get to know a positivity like you've never known before. That can allow you to go after greater passions and once you do that you're your own force
Wow I'm inspired and I miss you Scott. Rest in peace. God bless you and your family. I never met you but I enjoy your videos, legacy.
I just heard the sad news about Scott Dinsmore's death. I did not know him personally, but my prayers go out to his family. I am grateful for people like Scott who encourage others to do big things.
+Jared Easley oh my goodness, what happened to Scott?
+Vanessa Gorgano he died, an accident they said.. so sad :(
+Vanessa Gorgano A Boulder fell on him while he was climbing mount Kilimanjaro
That is sad. It makes me sad to hear that. I never met him, but on here (as many "Ted talkers", (if you will) he seems so lively, and to hear that this happened to him, makes me sad.
+examinfo Well, that's the risk when you take the "push your limits" thing too far. Some challenges are not worth the risk. I think of Christopher Reeve and Jason Priestley.
Loved this! Scott's passion and enthusiasm is so inspiring. I can totally relate to his story about the advice he heard about building his resume. When I was 20, many moons ago, I heard the same ridiculous nonsense. It's worth spending 17+ minutes to watch…you won't regret it!! Thanks.
I am taking my college of education capstone for my Bachelor of Arts degree in cognitive studies and I'm about to graduate this May, so I'm preparing my elevator speech. Yesterday I prepared my cover letter and the day before that I submitted my resume. I've done it all before but having the University's help is very beneficial.
no words could describe how much your speech inspires me at this stage of my life. thank you scott rip
After listening to this lecture, I decided to become an expert on myself. People are divided into 20 percent of people who change the world with passion, and 80 percent of people who just live in desperation. I think only those who are experts about themselves and those who understand themselves can find the life they want and live passionately. 'What kind of person am I?' I kept asking this question during the lecture. There is a goal for me. And I am working hard toward this goal. However, I don't know if I really like this goal 100 percent. Because I don't know who I am completely. The most grateful thing about this video is that it taught me the importance of having my own time. My own time taught me how to find a way to enjoy myself, and taught me about my special strengths, my values, and the importance of experiences. From now on, I will test my limitations by doing things that seem impossible, and I will challenge whatever I want to do. I will also live my life passionately checking what I can or cannot do. My life is only mine, and only I can change it. This lecture made me regret my previous negative life with limitations. Come to think of it, I wonder why I set limits on my future in the past. The pressure and gloom that I didn't know was blocking my way. My life is long and I still have a lot of time left. Now I want to say, 'There's nothing I can't do.' I feel like the dark clouds in my head have gone through and become a clear, blue sky.
I'm 19 and I just graduated high school in May and I'm on my gap year struggling to figure out what to do with my life...I feel kind of depressed at times, I don't know if you've ever had those thoughts at night where you just think "what am I gonna do with my life? what about next year? I don't want to live at home forever...." but I get those quiet often. Everything that I would just love doing feels out of reach. I'd love to be a musician, be involved in the making of films, or anything with entertainment. It's not a typical get a degree and go find a job type of career but it's where my passion is. But this talk inspired me...it's just the most frustrating thing ever when you're just not happy with how your life is going at the moment
msmusik2 what are you doing now? I'm also in a similar situation
and what you thought 3 years letter?
Same for me except I'm 20 everywhere here people are like nah we aren't hiring it's hard to find good paying jobs that aren't in a warehouse here which is basically you either don't work or work in a warehouse until you pass out of heat exhaustion
@@nanuli2295 she's a film executive now, lining up dates for Harvey Weinstein
That's really good. I did everything on time and didn't think of what should I go for and gave myself to whatever came, it's much better to think. Before you chose. I appreciate you. You'll get it!
Miss you Scott. Rest knowing that you packed a whole hell of a lot into 32 years. Prayers for your family.
I think you can find it even without knowing that you are looking for it, its more natural way.
But to let that happen you have to learn to step out of routines, stop, open your mind and listen to your intuition in the back of your head whispering. Do what you enjoy doing, explore staff which fascinates you, stop planning your life and make use of everyday opportunities, do unexpected decisions, become a yesman sometimes and don't be afraid of failing, because failure is there to show you the right direction.
Thank you Scott for gracing us with your brilliance. You have a beautiful soul. RIP.
Love this video, Scott continues to inspire, Rest In Peace always
why do motivational speakers always use their own success story of achieving their dream of becoming a motivational speaker as motivation?
that's a great question Roger, I understand where you're coming from. They do this for many reasons, here are a few of them. One, when they tell their own story instead of someone else's, their story becomes more authentic and real - many people in the audience pick up on that authenticity and connect with the genuine nature of the speaker. Two, credibility. They've done it themselves, so they have the authority to talk about how someone else can achieve the same thing. Sort of like, "if I've done it, so can you." Three, telling your own story comes naturally and you know all the details of it, especially when it supports the point of the speech. Without a doubt, telling other people's stories is great too. With that said, there is often enormous value and authenticity in telling your own story to the audience.
because that is the only practical thing they can make people relate to even though it is not a template for others. it is only to inspire

I predict in the future we will all be motivational speakers. And computers will do all the work! Cant' Wait!
because it's a fucking scam.
I burst out in tears the moment you said they set him down in the wheel chair. I had thrown my hands up in a victory before you even said it. Thank you. It's powerful to match that connection via computer.
I am so touched by your speech I cried. You inspired me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart !
So persuasive, so intelligent! Thank you, Scott!
Such a great loss to the world and such a wonderful talk! I never knew you, but wish I did! Your legacy lives on...
I needed to hear this Ted Talk so badly. I'm graduating from college soon, and I have so many possible ways I could pursue my future career. I've always wanted to follow my passion, but it's a scary thing to do if everyone around you has a completely different mindset.
Grateful for this wake up call!
A beautiful soul and a visionary.
I'm reminded everyday the things I'm able to enjoy because someone once dared to dream..
R.I.P. Scott. You were, are and will be an inspiration to all of us.
I watched this video, at first, thinking about how stupid all this blather was that this guy was spouting. All this motivational bullcrap. Then, I started to read the comments, realized this young man died, while probably pursing to live by the philosophy he believed in. Rest in Peace. May this lesson help me to leave behind my cynicism.
oh shit
holy crap I am in this guy's facebook group! And it has been super inactive. I just thought he moved on but he literally passed on!!!!
so true
it makes me wonder, about the super inactivity - knowing what he left with you, continue to input with the others, to carry on in his stead. Make it grow!

Just two videos of TEDx and I already know what I am all about
Really love your efforts , TEDx
I love this♥️
I'm on my path now, trying to create good circle of human beings, and I consider watching speech like this as another form of keeping good company.
Great Ted talk, maybe one of the best I've seen so far. I would like to thank the presenter for this, I'm someone who is struggling to find a career path to go down, and this really helped. Thank you! A lot of great things to take from this.
I WAS PSYCHOTHERAPISTS FOR 30 PLUS YEARS AND IT FOUND ME AND THAT IS what all careers did for me..
It found me!!!.. passion
@@loismayette2747 can you please tell me your thoughts about what I told you here? I wanna get some more advice, I hope.
This video motivated me so much I left my 400k job to working to flipping burgers, but I am very happy
Thanks for the video! Great to have people like you who serve to inspire and impact the world around you.
God bless you Scott for inspiring a lot of people, including me. You certainly helped to make the world a better place when you were still here.
Just rewatching this after hearing the news. Just feels appropriate.
RIP Scott.
Thank you Scott for this heartfelt talk. Loved it.
Scott inspired me to start my blog, which eventually made me comfortable enough to start a RUclips channel. I am eternally grateful for him.
Scott's speech mentions very good point. Most people work without any meaning. Having sense of meaning brings you different point from where you are. In the same time meaninglessness comes with dissatisfaction. Live Your Legend is very courageous slogan. As a university student, I hope I can find the ideal career path for me.
Love that! "What is the work you can't not do." Double negatives, yet, still very provocative, very inspiring. I want to get my certification to be a personal trainer to help other people see that they don't have to resort to surgery to lose weight. Your body can do so much, it's your mind you must convince.
That is really needed in this day and age when people are undergoing life threatening procedures to feel beautiful. I hope you have made progress towards your dream
@@aviwemahanjana2809 Thank you for taking the time to comment. I didn't get certified as a PT. My dream career as a linguist (fluent in 6 languages) found me!
I have helped several people get into better physical condition, because I care, their progress was payment enough, for me.
Most people would rather pop pills than do the work to get off the meds. That's their prerogative.
Also, with the rise of scammers, I started helping others to see the truth of who they are dealing with. People sometimes contact me, online for help, when a loved one is being asked by a scammer to send money. I love that "aha" moment when the target finally gets it.
Scott you were an amazing man - you will be missed!
I really liked Scott's presentation. I liked the "find your strengths" and "what are you really good at" parts. I'm 66. I think there's also a part that says do what other people won't do and figure out why you are doing what you do. I finally figured out what I was good at near 40. All my experiences helped me get there. 5 years ago we went into our own business and we are enjoying life and having an impact. I believe life is about growth and having the strength to get better every day although not necessarily living the dream. I'm sad that Scott's gone. His presentation lives on and will help many people find thier way in a confusing world.
Nice work Scott! I especially like that you mentioned the importance of performing a self-assessment. I now recommend the book "Strengths Finder 2.0" to those that I work with. Thanks so much!
Amazing! This put some fire under my feet. Keep it moving. Thanks Scott!
Do what you love, love what you do and the money will follow.
Not true. If you care a lot about money, but want to do nothing as a job. Then you should drop one desire or the other
is that from the movie the 3 idiots?
Motivating, and really valuable speech.
I realized that this whole education system doesn't reveal the most important thing - how to live one's life.
If you don't do figure it out by yourself, precious years are wasted.
I... really needed this. Taking a break from school to find some answers is what I thought (and still think) I need. But overly concerned parents and friends are making it difficult to do anything other than find a job to take place of school. So it was wonderfully motivating to hear this.
Thanks, Scott:)
I've done the same, i dropped out of university and am currently in the process of trying to figure out what I want to ne doing with my life. It hasn't been easy
This man is making so much sense and what he is saying is speaking to me. I am right now studying in South Dakota for "mining engineering". I am from fucking NJ and the only reason I am here is so that I can have a damn job..? I am cynically depressed and I feel that I am stuck in my position because of the pressure from my father. FUCK this. I hate it and it is so unnecessary. I am seriously moving back to NJ this next fall for school whether he likes it or not. I took out all my funds in loans anyway so he didnt even pay for shit! Why do I feel that I have to stay in my position. I mean I am 19 years old, I should be waking up every morning and have the feeling of utter emptyness. Every day i contemplate leaving. I cant focus on my studies here and I have to man up and tell my father to suck a donkey dick.
good luck, man.
Change it now!! It's never too late! Check out Tony Robbins. His UPW event is beyond awesome.
Most engineers I meet say they aren't really into it so I definitely believe that. I picked the field of engineering because I didn't have the self-confidence to believe that I could possibly compete with others. Things have changed now, I truly feel that I am ready and my self-confidence is unstoppable. I am ready to go back to school in Jersey.
*****
Thanks homie
If he isn't helping pay for it then he can't dictate what you do. If you made it into an engineering school you are probably pretty smart. Do some exploring. I do recommend acquiring a marketable skill that you may not love better that you do. Just as a back up. But don't go into huge debt for it. Heck even if it is as a computer technician or a barber. Doesn't matter as long as it is a marketable skill that can pay the rent while you figure stuff out without racking up huge debt. Do you have any ideas of what to do instead?
People who are inspiring live forever.
My husband is a forklift driver who loves, loves, loves his job at the company he works at. He doesn't get paid as much as he could. He has a 45 minute commute. His co-workers would annoy me, but my husband has a very accepting attitude about peoples' differences & personality quirks. In fact, every day he goes to work so filled with gratitude and joy. His boss and boss's boss appreciate him and let him know this . . . Which I think is part of his love for the job. He has made himself almost indispensable. His joy in his work makes me happy.
R.I.P BRO..........YOU ARE THE LEGEND. YOU LIVED A GREAT LIFE AND INSPIRED MANY WHEN YOU SPOKE AND YOU CONTINUE TO INSPIRE PEOPLE, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE PASSED ON.
We will miss you, Scott.
LOVE this.
Officially inspired.
I read his blog 1 hour ago and it captivated me and the only thing that came up to my mind is how to thank him back I mean he offered so much in just a blog what about the other work he participated, I can't believe he's gone, what a venerable man.
Thank you. Needed to hear this to re-focus. Simple and concise.
To all those who believe in realism and think he spoke bullshit, no great person ever thought normally. You have to be crazy, optimistic, fairytale believer to be there.
True for a small minority of people the rest that share these qualities are not doing well to say the least.
The problem w/ genious, most ppl think ur Nuts!

Not necessarilly true. Like no data to back that up. And the big hole is that there is no line to measure "normal thinking" life itself is not normal. No one "thinks" normal. Haha.
So inspiring, thank you for your work Scott!
Thank you Scott, I used this video in a career exploration seminar I taught at UC Davis this quarter and the students find it helpful!
I love all of the Tedx videos. Thank you, Tedx producers and instructors.
Another inspirational talk.
So sad that losing his life on Kilimanjaro recently was what it took to bring Scott to my attention - then again, following your passion is the only way to go!
+Lucas Pitcher I didn't know he died until I read your comment. He definitely "lived" though and continues to live through the beautiful vision he's shared with the world. We'd be lucky if we held the words he spoke in this video dear. May he rest in peace.
+Next Level Life He was struck by a boulder.
+Lucas Pitcher I too only just discovered the Live Your Legend community - just learned this morning that he died. Such a sad discovery :'(
+Samirah Yousef one less twat who landed on his feet and thinks everyone else did too.
Ah, you sound bitter. Umberto eco
That is sad.
Most people don't have the leisure or funds to follow your advice.. They have to take the available work to feed themselves and families..
***** Don't we have a brown or black president ? And your point is...
***** when you bring up race your comment becomes irrelevant
***** your father left you, your life is irrelevant. Fuck that shit escalated.
Awesome comeback...on that note, this argument is irrelevant. Peace!
sammy samsam Great, bring ethnicity into this. Nowhere does he say "you're not allowed to have a job you don't like": Necessity doesn't (or shouldn't) inhibit new perspectives. Rather, he says there are opportunities out there.
Food for thought. Thank you so much for sharing this!
R.I.P Scott you left your mark even with that helpful short speech of yours to many around the world 💔💔
Your legacy will continue Scott!
I can't express in words how I feel right now after watching this. I found this because I've been desperately trying to figure out what color is my parachute. Because of this I'm going to follow my passion being a history nerd and build a business with it. Thank you so much.
How is the history business going
@@mr.workhardplayhard6550 due to life altering events I had to put it on hold but I’m still working on making my dream coming true. Thank you for the update.
@@Tjm5656 I wish you the very best in your future endeavors and know you will be successful
the work I can't not do can't yet financially support me but “how can I possibly do this, to how can I possibly not?” I'm here. Thanks for the talk!
Wow this popped up in my feed. I watched this 9 years ago and really found it resourceful. Cannot believe the gentleman passed away 7 years ago.. RIP
I just heard of his passing, a freak accident on Mt. Kilimanjaro. He will be missed.
Sometimes its safer to stay at home and watch TV
@@classicartfoundation639 no...statistically, most accidents happen at home. If you lost your home, you'd get the worst PTSD because you couldn't go home.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 how do you loose your home? Wtf
@@ezraprzytyk foreclosure usually. Often the result of losing your job, serious illness or accident, or in the US a subprime mortgage.
@@classicartfoundation639 Be respectful, please!
Great lecture. I am currently going through one of my biggest crises, being 27 and unable to move on to other jobs despite a year out of school. I'm not getting hired and I don't really know what exactly I want to do. I'm terribly embarrassed that I haven't tried working while going to school. It's pretty difficult right now. Hopefully I can find a business that will be fulfilling. Thanks for video
I am more than a decade older than u and I'm very much in the same boat as you. Luckily even though we've wasted many years not pursuing something that makes us happy, we're still young enough to turn things around and there's a lot of good advice here in this lecture. I'm feeling positive, optimistic, and inspired! ✌️😁😎👍💯
i haven’t felt emotion or inspired in like months and this is what i needed
Rest in Peace - glad his message is still inspiring.
