Secrets of Success in 8 Words, 3 Minutes of Video

« on: August 24, 2009, 12:23:09 AM »

Best 3 minutes you'll spend on your career! Who knew the road to succes was this simple. Then again, the words are simple, and so is saying you'll do them. Actually following all the way through is the hard part. But at least you now have a blueprint.

Quote

About this talk:

Why do people succeed? Is it because they're smart? Or are they just lucky? Neither. Analyst Richard St. John condenses years of interviews into an unmissable 3-minute slideshow on the real secrets of success.

About Richard St. John:

A self-described average guy who found success doing what he loved, Richard St. John spent more than a decade researching the lessons of success -- and distilling them into 8 words, 3 minutes.

Thanks for this one, will listen to it at home. I planned to do a short write-up for newcomers with one section about enthusiasm, career etc. soon and will probably include this one (same as your DIY speech Wink

). Nice that download links are available too, so no need to go through the source.

Will take a look at this later today. Ironically, I received something similar in my fortune cookie this weekend:

"You will achieve success by conquering an obstacle."

Also 8 words and also true. I don't know how else you'd achieve success without conquering an obstacle.

Just came home from work and could finally watch it - althouth very short (funny to see that others haven't had time to watch this earlier too) it is really the kind of motivational speech some of us need. Thanks for sharing.
