Mozart was locked in a room with a piano. Lock yourself in a situation you want to become and you'll be a genius with the muscle memory.
That will not work.
Yes this will work thank you
How do you know this?
I am a crearive writing and poetry writing genuis, and I am basically locked in a room most of my dad reading and writing and editing work. Writing greatly poetry comes super easy to me now, and people say I am gifted, but they don't know my journey. I am obsessed with ever step that is needed to write great creative work. I am currently taking all my class over again, even though I got A's in them and I have steady writing success. I will not argue with anyone for saying I am a genius. Geniuses know when they are one, and have the right to say they are just like someone can say they are a woman or a man or a doctor or a lawyer.

Cheers for this, been searching for "how to become a computer science genius" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Ronny Geniusify Epiphany - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my brother in law got cool success with it.
This was great, thanks, been searching for "how to become a genius like einstein" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Ronny Geniusify Epiphany - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.

Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "how to tell if you are a genius" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Ronny Geniusify Epiphany - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my co-worker got excellent results with it.
My mind was blown when he revealed that all it takes to go from No Talent -> Genius is finding the SMALL steps that are WITHIN your abilities. And not to mention that you must treat it like a journey... it might take 5 years or 10 years, but DO NOT rush it! What an incredibly insightful video
But I can't take 10 years to ace my exams.. We all have one year even the genius ones have the same amount of time as you.
I'm an example, I used to fail at maths when I was in 6th grade and I improved drastically within a year , I became a topper in 7th grade! All I did was I believed I could do good and practiced, practiced and practiced a lot everyday!
Happy for you sister.
Congratulations... Hope I could do the same
How do you do that man plss say it because I also want to be a topper at maths
Yeah but imagine people with dyscalculia and you see a problem with the logic

"It's not about the age you have, It's about what you doing with the age you have". Truly inspiring.
Is it not obvious?
@@snackers7 Most people who believe in the talent myth don't know this
Somehow the whole thought of this video reminded me of calculus, with how the area under a curve is solved by adding up infinitesimal strips and how smaller steps that we take lead us to a bigger picture. It's beautiful.
Same here 😅
Yep, just like this universe's nature
Are you Engineer
Well the steps look a lot like a Riemann sum.
And I was thinking about how he sounds like Gru ._.
I literally think this is the best video I’ve ever seen on RUclips

Same to you💖❤💋
You don't figuratively think it's the best?
Same
my thoughts, exactly!
Very inspiring talk. I fully agree with all the statements made.
Thanks!
This is just superb, I have been researching "how do geniuses learn" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Ronny Geniusify Epiphany - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 got amazing success with it.

@@novaknovakovic1585 thats a scam
@@Night-jp1ro And he's a bot.
Amazing talk. All makes sense. It's like my own life story. At 43, after being diagnosed with fatty liver, I decided to start jogging. It was hard, I was only able to run to a maximum distance of 2-3km at a time. I also started to swim, at most 50m, at once and stop to catch more breath.
Then after about 2 months I realised that actually I improved in both running and swimming. I signed up for a short Aquathlon (750m swim + 10km run) events.
Then I read a running article about marathon that says: one should dream big to keep yourself motivated and have a focus on certain things.
So I decided to sign up for 42km full marathon and also 6.5km open sea swim. I trained hard, 3x running a week after work and 2x weekly pool swim. Occasionally I took leave from work so that I can swim in the pool without disturbance when no one else want to swim under hot mid noon sun.
6 years later, I completed 11 full marathons, 3 open sea 6.5km swim and 3 ultra aquathlons.
Whatever the presenter said makes every sense to me. It also reminded me of the story of the 3 Polgar sisters whose father literally made the 3 of them chess geniuses.
A picture, they say is worth more than a thousand words. Now, this is genius: using his artistic skills to communicate an unrelated message. One of the finest deliveries of TEDx I have seen
This masterpiece should be getting viral!!!!!!❣️
That guy is Hilarious!!!
And that speech was amazing.
Thanks so much! It was a team effort and was also thanks to the feedback from the TED Team :D
HAHAHA HA I genuinely laughed at how awesome and playful his presentation was.
I wish more people can see this. This is so underrated.
One of the most brilliant videos I've watched on RUclips as yet. I was not bored for even a minute. It held my attention for the whole 16 minutes. Everything he said was delightfully lucid and exceptionally clear.
I'm so blessed. The point that I've got here is that, to become genius I must learn to take one step at a time. Thank you so much.
This change my perspective and doubt that somehow talent always win and felt that i couldn't attain the level of intellectual to become a professor but after watching this, I will spend my time devoting to become great in the path that I have chosen
Hey Mark Diaz, I am 21 years old, and I have always been fascinated by "Human Nature" in a way that brought me to read Robert Greene's book, "The Daily Laws," and somewhere near the end of the book, I said to myself that I want to become “An Artist of Human Nature” and a "Genius." For last 6 years, I have been on this journey of self-reflection, learning from great philosophers, reading books and preaching all I can by interacting with people who have extremely different personality that mine. And this is why I am happy to acknowledge that I have a certain level of familiarity with the art of human nature.
That being said, I still have some insecurities that hijack my mind and cloud it with emotional fog to convince myself that I cannot get too good at any technical skill because it's hard for me. I find it very hard, exhausting, and disappointing. But after watching this video, "Can anyone become a genius?" I am convinced by the analogy with which you depict what makes a genius. I am fascinated by it, and realizing everything you said, I can see the hope that it is possible for me to become good at something like coding, business, dance, piano, and boxing.
Just imagine that I truly preach everything you said in this video and become “An Artist of Human Nature” and a "Genius." I want to let you know how thankful and grateful I am for you sharing this with the world.
Thank you!
I absolutely loved this video. I wish more teachers in this world were like this. It take a very creative person like himself to really get peoples attention by laughing in the process.
Your geniuses depends on how much time you give at something to make a genius muscle memory... Take your time from distraction and give it to your goals.
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS ️️️️ I want to re-play again and again!
This is literally one of the best TED talks I’ve seen since ever! Just think about how original it is but has only relatively low view counts. What a pity
Here I'm. Just killing my time after scrolling countless on social media and come here to have some motivation. I have exams on coming Tuesday, what interesting is i will be turn 24 in a few months and just started my bachelor's in science with nearly zero background. The course will start in coming 2 months and i want to make a commitment which i've been doing every time XD. Why i choose to learn science is kind of funny, i got high a lot and i choose f it i'm out of comfort zone and will be scientist instead of film making which i got much love for it.I'm still making no progress but let's get back to commitment i will get my degree in next 4 year. Writing this long even took me 20 minutes.
Great Ted Talk. The way he presented, delightful to watch. Hope we taught every important sector of our life like that, a perfect Edutainment.
i remember when there was a ''genius'' at my school, he was a very talented kid, and he got everything without trying.
All i did was study and work hard but, i was still never as good enough.
I feel you, I was in that same situation. No matter how hard I tried, my intelligent friends always got higher scores, came up with faster solution, earned more attention from teachers and lectures.
same
Did you ever live with them? See how they spent their time? Maybe they worked twice as hard as you did.

Amazing speech ! One of the most incredible and thoughtful videos that I've ever come across before !!!
I just keep coming back to this
I really got caught up in his speech, Mark Diaz did an amazing job talking about how a person can find the way to improve his own abilities, It's amazing how he organized the information with his own skills, as soon as the pictures appeared, I focused on them and started to understand what he meant. I feel very proud that I made the decision to learn english almost three years ago, because I could understand everything he said and I think that I will sign up for his online classes, because he knows how to encourage people to make their dreams and goals come true.
R.I.P. Replay button, it was the video's fault. Just so good!
This was the most interesting commercial I've ever seen
this video will be stuck in my head for the next month and I’m really happy about it :)
not only was this entertaining, but it’s actually such a good point and extremely helpful
my name’s also Joanne and I’m an artist!
my dream is to become a professional illustrator or animator, but these past couple of years I’ve felt unmotivated to draw and constantly distract myself with my phone. I felt like this lecture was for me, I must try smarter!
Hey Joanne, how's your journey going?
When I was a little kid, my dream was to be a brillant rocket scientist but i was deeply depressed and got some suicidal thoughts (because this has been my dream & life purpose since my childhood) when i met a genius guy who could easily solve problems which i tried so hard but i couldnt or like he could remember all the things teachers said or remember a lot of knowledge from books we read 3-4 months ago which i couldn't. he had a super sharp memory which is why he didn't need to work. he worked hard just the night before the exam but still he got the best grades which i could never reach although i worked super hard. it was the turning point in my life. i realised that i was just an average girl with no special talent. i gave up on my dreams because of my genes which i cant do anything.
I will be 18 years old next month and this will be my only wish, a wish that will never come true.
I relate hard. I wanted to be a physicist because I love physics but I lack intellect to do anything useful in that field. There are smarter people than me in my class and that depresess me too. It's similar situation. There were many times I've tried to better myself, think more but you can't compete with natural talent and genes. It comes easy for them. Maybe I have too much of a negative outlook on this, I don't know. But it's hard to not be discouraged. I gave up on my goals which once seemed achievable. Now I think they are just wishful thinking. I empathize with you. Hang in there.
Hey I hope you are fine
You have everything going for you. Love this
This is beautiful! Thank you, Mark!
Your video will be relevant 10 years from now. Epic
Absolutely amazing!!!! Congrats!
Thank you for the new perspective I now have after watching.
This was hands down THE BEST Ted talk I have ever seen. Thanks for inspiring me 💜☺️
I do not understand how this video has only 243k views today, otherwise, this is an amazing video presented ingeniously. Amazing!
its an outstanding speech. thank you
I am a genuis writer, mostly a poet. Everyone is born with an ability to become a genuis in something. Yes, I was born with a naturally ability to write great poetry but I still made myself a genuis poet. My parents were writers and so is my oldest brother, and still, GENUISES ARE MADE. Please stop saying "make it". Many genuises aren't even publically known and don't care to be.
My poetry mentor said I showed signs of it. I picked up a book of poems, when I was young, and understood how it was put together, I reached enlightment reading it.
You make yourself a genuis in something, through repititon and programing your mind, to do it more by instincts. When I took my mentorship, any assignment he gave me, I did it three times. I then spent weeks after my mentorships, doing it over and over again. It was not hard nor stressful, I just knew it had to be repeatedly done. I have taken countless steps to become a genuis poet. I even have done the same course over and over again in my free time.
@Lulu Jjk to discover what your brain was attached to as a kid. You can do a list of all the things you really enjoyed as a kid. What ever one that even now you are drawn to keep doing is most likely what you were born to become a genuis in. All you need to do is create desire and keep it and have a good strategy and tactics to become a genuis in it and create wealth from it, in every way you can.
Nothing but love and only love for this video. Amazing
👌Brilliant! Genius is not about your genetics but about your Habits. Thank you for spreading true education
Super interesting conference, this is a rare speech thanks for putting all this effort to convey such useful info
you've taken it up a notch with this one
Thank u so much Mark!It's very inspiring and instructive!
I'm your new fan and i'm just really glad to watch Ur amazing vidéos..Such a great coach💪
This is so true!❤️❤️
I don't want to waste my rest of life , now!
Oh wow that's amazing and very motivated speech that I learned when I watched until the end of the video.. It's not about your age it's all about your passion dont let your age destroyed your dreams to make it possible..
I am 42 years old now and my strongest point in life was computing and technology and I have a slight learning disability and I was brought up old school my mum is 75 and my dad is 77 years old, I became good computing and technology at the age of 7 or 8 years old all just by playing around on my dads computer back then it was more programming to make your own games or cassets or discs and all I did was just play around with it, when I was in hightschool I was a one finger typer at a time now I can type and use a keyboard with my eyes shut, but it was not till I was in 6yr of hightschool it all just came to me and all I did was not give up read and watch into it, I was never a classroom person, but still it just all came to me and yet I self tought myself that being my own boss. but I allways loved solving things and maths but iv never been great at maths im 42 years old now iv been self teaching myself math since 2018 it took me 3 years to get familure with maths and now I am and now I can do calculus better but I still go over it and persaver makeing better my weakness, as they say practice makes perfect, hopefully one day before I die I would love to do advance math, topology differential deometly, abstract algebra and anaylasis because I love solving things, I say to myself its not comeing sooner but ill just persavere.
and anyway they say that kid prdiogy thos child geniuses when they get older can`t take the preasure becasue there tought to be the best in everything or what they do so they become competative and do what they do and eventually take there own lives because one beating them or something never works out because they never got the work out they deserve so go at your own pace and not be competative about it.
Great inspirational talk, with some great humour to keep us engaged. Well done.
OMG I'm so shook!! this is ICONIC

@@Aziz0938 If he isn't sir than nobody is
I just love how he says drawing. It’s so cool
That video surprises and inspires me a lot because most of the time I think about that and I am an example of the same. In the case in which I learned English, I remember saying years ago that I am not good at speaking or knowing that language, but thanks to my constant practice and motivation to learn, today I can proudly say that I know a new language and I really like it.
I know I’m not the only one who screamed. Omg this was freaking amazing
A couple things I want to touch on... There's a difference between talent and skill, the first is a natural affinity and the other takes work to develop, and absolutely anyone can develop their skills in accordance with their talents (i.e. work hard at what you love to do or wish to do) and thereby become a genius. BUT in the case of Mozart and many of the great musicians, what almost always sets them apart is that they developed what is referred to as "perfect pitch", the ability to know what a note is by hearing it, and this ability can only happen or rather be "imprinted" during very early stages of brain development. So in that respect, not "anybody" can become a Mozart if their brain is already developed beyond that stage of imprinting. But still, anybody can become a genius at something via consistency and dedication, absolutely!
i learned perfect pitch at 13
@@notme9806 Please make a video of someone hitting random notes on your preferred instrument while you immediately call out the note names and I will believe you.
@@adamcolbertmusic i swear and its not only me i studied 6 years and this music school and to pass each year we have to pass this exam where the teacher plays the piano and we have to write the notes he is doing, and each year he would play faster and faster. and every kid in that school had to do that test to pass to the next year so thats why i believe its a skill thats all
@@adamcolbertmusic also it was a shock to me to learn that it wasnt a common thing in other country's schools. ( i live in morocco btw)
@@notme9806 We have a similar test in the Aural Skills class where the teacher gives the starting pitch and then the students have to write the melody that follows, but that has more to do with "relative pitch" and identifying intervals from the starting note (for example if the starting note is F and the interval is a minor 6th then you'd know it was D flat). Did your teacher tell you the starting note like that? Or just jump in playing random notes?
Beautiful talk. Thanks for inspiring people.

AWESOME ADVICE AND AWESOME VIDEO !!! THANK YOU MR. MARK!! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS !!!
One of the best Ted Talks that I have ever watched! Kudos to the presenter, what a great performance!
Thank you baldie
He talks like Gru
Got my new favorite channel!
Transformative video in short span of time !!! Genius
Well, a genius is someone who is well above other people in a field, so if I take informations given here, that some people are born with a talent that allow them to take greater steps, given that they will work hard also, then no matter how much time you dedicate you will never be able to become a genius, because it's relative to others and talented hard working people will always be above you.
Please stop this BS!
The title should be “anyone can be good at sth, if they work really hard”, but please stop abusing the word “genius”. It’s like telling people with no limbs: “anyone can swim, so can you”, you are gonna get someone killed.
Drawing is a skill, it can be trained, it does not take a genius to draw, the first drawing is actually not that bad (grab a random person on the street, s/he won’t be able to do that), the second drawing is actually not perfect (any manga artist can do that). And it took that person 5 years???
Using small steps means you are not a genius, you spend more time and energy to achieve sth can be done easily by a real genius.
This video is very misleading, I understand the PC culture, everyone's the same, but people only say it because intelligence cannot be easily measured (standardized test sucks). If you tell me I can grow to 185cm but I'm 160cm 45 years old, I will punch you in the face, because it can be measured and I know it's impossible.
Normal people want to listen to these stories not because they are true, but because they are very comforting, and if you agree with the speaker, I have bad news for you.
Yes, the world is a lie and life is harsh, get over with it.
And last, Mozart had “perfect pitch” , an ability to identify a note by hearing it. The ability is considered remarkably rare, estimated to be less than one in 10,000 individuals.
Do you know what it means to be a genius? No it's not high IQ or talent. It's the ability to do things against the odds that shouldn't be possible in society today. The instructions given are terrible. Are you able to do the work based off of bad instruction and do them wrong???
What are you even saying?
I LOVE YOU!! you're amazing
I can feel your passion!
This video is so slowly paced-even in 2x speed it felt dragged along
Very inspiring, thank you!
This requires a mandatory comment! Great content!
I love this so much. You made my day.
I get chills every time l see it
Taking notes :) impressive work!!
such a great story... BRAVO!!!
Brilliant! And, to boot, I am taking small steps and learning from their online school. Highly recommended!!!!!
Thanks so much for recommending us :D Hope you learn a lot!
