About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

I saw this like 7 years ago and just stumbled over it again... I have to admit that since ive seen this speech I got fixated on self developement and finding my passion(s). I can just encourage anyone to surround yourselves with people that lift you up, whatever you want do get done. Its all about determination and self-belief. And Tah Riq was one of the first persons Ive learned that from. So thank you so much for the lesson. And best wishes for all people out there wanting to transform their world by changing your perception of it. It really works! :)
Truly inspirational speech bro. Eloquent, emotional, extraordinary, weird thing is I can remember you doing this like it was yesterday. Point your mind and your body will follow, I leave you with the following quote: "Success is nothing more than few simple disciplines, practiced every day. Whilst failure is simply few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that lead us to either fortune or failure"
Tah Riq is amazingly insightful, multitalented man I am proud to call a friend. He is beautiful inside out and I'm really happy to see how many people realise his value in this world.
This needs to be seen world wide. Too many people now a days struggling and stressing about finances and rarely do i see someone who is truly happy. This goes right along with what Tim Shieff said, " Society's not always right." So with this video people will realize they dont need to live life according to the standards society has set in place. They just need to follow their own paths and truly embrace themselves and be who they really are. This video alone could create world peace.
This might just be the most powerful Ted Talk I've ever listened too. Exactly what I needed to hear, when I needed to hear it.
I don't think anybody realises how much sense this is making to me right now. I should be revising for exams; I'm not. I'm a young teenager ripping my hands open & jumping off things. In 50 years time i may not be the richest or smartest. But i will never regret not revising as I'm doing something i enjoy. And this 20 minute video has just explained my meaning of life. Don't let your bad thoughts in your head shout over the small positive ones. Thanks do Danny and Tahriq, I'm not worrying.
Easily the most inspirational speech i've ever heard, and i've been a major TED fan for years now. Much love and thank you man.
about 4 months ago i was practicing back flips on my trampoline. trying to learn them wishing one day i could do it on the ground. i fell on my neck and got a scar on my face. a while before that i got a sprain my ankle trying it on the Gym Flor... after then i had been way to scared to even try it. but after this video i when back on my trampoline and did a back flip. im almost falling both my classes in college but im not scared if i do thanks to Tahriq and Dany. GOD HAS BLESSED ME!!!
Wow, Tah Riq! Beautifully said.....thank you for your powerful inspiration!
You sir, are my hero. Much respect to you.
I just feel motivated to play drums after seeing this and that I can get good at it one day. Thanks a lot from a swedish, 17 years old drummer!
This video puts into words all the feelings I've had about the world for so long. I'm about to start college in the fall and I can't help but question if that's the right path for me. I know what I love, I love doing parkour. I never had a desire to go to school, it always just felt like something that was expected of me. And now here I am, about to commit another 4 years and dive headfirst into a pool of debt, and I ask myself, "Is this what I should be doing?"
I lived in that basement for a decade and went blind from staring at the dark. A leap of faith. Learning to have faith now and it's a strange experience, but you've made me realize it's all steps on faith. Every step we take. Time to walk back into the light. Thank you for your words. They ring true and that's a sweet sweet sound. Truth has a pure ring like silver. I shall follow my own heart now. It lays the path before me. Great words Bard. Sing them and make them forever.
20 minutes well spent! opens new sights of life indeed!
Words cannot describe how inspiring this video is.
Enjoyd this so much Tariq!!
i'm on halfway leaving school, i've had felt stuck and when my parents asked me what i was gonna do with my future, i told them 'I don't know, i'll get a job - and after that? - i'll find an other' No clear plans, i'll just do what's the right for me at the time. and then i watched this video. I don't know if quitting school would be the best choice, but staying in it wouldn't be good either.. but your speak made me realise lots of things. i'd really like to get to know you better Tah Riq :D
this is crazy,... that should come on TV!!!
Love it ! Really resonate with my current situation.
'If Not Now, When?', the track by Incubus is exactly what this video speaks of.
Thank you for share this!
Kristin. How can you say I only tried things I had talent for when the things I tried are so completely different and at times even opposed? Progress comes with your ability to recognise your own mistakes and self-correct. The quicker and more frequently you can do this the faster you progress. There is a marked difference between playing an instrument for an hour a day and practising an instrument for an hour a day. In moments like that, for some it's much easier to have a teacher who can do the corrections for you. If you are investing many hours but developing bad habits or rehearsing what you already know and enjoy doing you will make little progress. Progress is always on the edge of ones comfort zone. You have yet to discover your talent. Start by discovering what you enjoy doing most and the talent will follow. My two cents. Tah Riq
such an inspiration to us all 💗
a single tear drop for you my friend. fantastic.
Thank you, so much.
Yes tahriq! well done man! so spoke so well!
craziest things i've ever seen. trully inspirational.
this guy has a real talent for talking, for entertaining. a real story teller lol
This video is amazing and inspiring. Thankyou.
thank you for opening my mind!
Great message and great presented. So far he only tried out things he happened to have talent for; that does not prove talent doesn't exist. I did much the same as him; invested thousands of hours in different areas I felt "obsessive" about. It worked out in some... but I also never saw any progress in some others, despite same focus, same commitment, same hard work, same belief.... so I learned there was also areas where I had no talent. Well, one at least ;-D
oh man, this is so inspiring, i'm traceur too and this is so inspiring for me!so beautiful,and Danny is one of my idols!
One Word To Explain This Video, Inspirational...!!
Wonderful talk but I began to wonder whether the crowd was dead, stoned or semi unconscious??

Really inspiring video!
best thing ever heard
This was all the inspiration i needed to start my parkour training back up.
THIS IS JUST AMAZING, TRULY AMAZING:)
@splitpersanity i didnt mean that im reckless or careless with what i do or that i throw myself around all silly nilly but that what my family sees, me throwing myself from roofs. I love what the human body can do and i take good care of mine so i can do it for years and years to come
so it really does boil down to believing in yourself.. nice roll btw dude,
the mind of every traceur .... Belief
the best speech what i´ve ever heard amazing!!! it´s realy important to me heard it couse i am parkour practitioner too so :)) thank you so much man! :) ♥
As soon as he said Daniel Ilabaca I was like.. WHOAA
thank you very much, for opening my mind! \
@splitpersanity thanks man. as for parkour itself, your stories have also been inspiring my training as well. using that mindset of saying that the only thing that changes is you, has helped me overcome a lot of mental barriers i've had lately.
i could look this like 100 times
A-MAZING! Always knew Danny was a good tudor and a friend in need =)
This made me try a wallflip last week,... !!!! I tried it just 15 min,... and my first wallflip was done.
u have earned much respect from me
daniel illabaca is my favorite traceur !
@Josour17 I respect you brother and I respect God, Like you say ,we're all different, I wish you well with training and life , Take Care,
well said. Daniel Ilabaca is my fitness inspiration
Well said! Cheers man
wise words
words of wisdom
Bravo!
TAH-RIQ is unquestionably at the forefront of standup comedy in Bali. Sadly he doesn't realise it.
amezing
He is surely free from the Matrix :)
@MotusPK Word man, Give the respect to God, peace brother , safe training
@Evilstuff YES
how did he grew his hands and legs back?
Nothing is true, everything is permitted...
@ChrispyNET No problem! ;)
It's late, but could you elaborate on this please?
@Reeceholmespk you did good Reece!
Can someone tell me where I can find LYRICS?!
Where can I find a friend like that?
@Reeceholmespk I'm glad you've managed to justify to yourself sherking off revision.
YES!!!! One more of our resistence resistance! One more making free minds figthing for wath real life most be!! Please look at this vid is not mine! Just is one more of us and is from my beatifull country..
@Reeceholmespk I'm in the same boat dude! My parents and grandparents are really confused why i love to go out and throw myself from rooftops and i always seem to be getting hurt, i graduate this weekend and on tuesday i injured my leg on a trampoline doing backflips and can barely walk so everyone is pretty upset at me haha but it wont keep me from trying again when im feeling better and i know that my health will get me back up and going by this weekend no problem
Why the hell isn't there more people in the audience ?!
I feel for that one person.
"I'm free!" Win. :)
And then he woke up.
is he even in front of a real crowd?
@mattnexus I wouldnt give respect to god, i would give my respect to the people who inspire me with happiness. For me, god has nothing to do with how i live my life. But we're all different....
I want to take this video and hug it to death!!!
@Fwibos Alright, I guess this is ok. Still, I wish I had a friend willing to help me like that. The crowd in my head has tomatos.
That was fucking awesome
@Reeceholmespk well done reece:)
@Reeceholmespk Im the Same, I hurt myself occasionally, but i always think, "this is So much better than being trapped in the system" I dont care about what job ill have in the future, i dont care about money, cars or fame, i just want freedom
@splitpersanity just did ;)
@emirguy no you blessed yourself. god has nothing to do with it.
"mi mente" on vimeo
has this guy met the 8 year old sonata writer?
Well, I proved I had no talent, doesn't that prove talent exist?
