I loved this talk. The moment he said that writing a diary entry everyday would let you remember everyday of your life, altered my consciousness.

I recently started summer courses at college, and combined with my blogging and programming I felt very overwhelmed, and what's been going through my mind lately is "there's not enough time in a day." Yet, when I finally sit down and start to write my code, all of the anxiety of not being able to finish what I set out to, not being able to make a post about it by midnight, it all goes away. All I need to do is stop thinking 15 minutes ahead, it does me no good. Thank you Conor Neill. :)

This speech perfectly drives home the power of knowing your audience. Realizing that he is not speaking to native English speakers makes his control that much more incredible. A great tip for most speakers is to imagine the audience does not speak your native language. Would you not also slow down and use simple language.

Thanks for sharing. I remember a quote of Jim rohn. Saying. Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. We do not fail overnight. Failure is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices. To put it more simply, failure is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every day. Incredible Ted talk! ❤️

I remembered that too. And I can see how this talk influenced the book Atomic Habits. At the end of the day, as Jim Rohn says, there are no new fundamentals. All these authors take each others knowledge and give them their own flavour. But the fundamentals are the same and have been written thousands of years ago.

Melissa Graham The title is not helping and the speech is not accessible via TEDx App (I've tried on Apple TV App and youtube). Maybe because people especially young generations are used to quick fix they'd rather get a 3 bullets point... The mastery way is lost, worse it's not even respected anymore.

Excellent presentation. Remember, good things comes to those who can wait. He has a very effective way of talking. He's slowly gets to the point, but elegantly and very informatively. He's making sure that no one misses a thing.

Let me confess something, I've watched almost a hundred TED talks, watched a lot of talks from 'most viewed' or 'must watch' recommendations from the sea of TED talks. Sure, in a way they were all good & some of them were extraordinarily insightful, eye-opening & relatable. But, let me tell you something- THIS TALK IS REMARKABLE! It’s remarkable by its topic. It’s remarkable by its clarity. It's remarkable by his way of figuring things & making us understand the facts very easily. & above all, the lesson was remarkable. In a sea of videos,speeches and talks on topics like being effective, working towards goal, ways to be successful & so on, this is one of the bestest talk which carries a lot of insight in just 23minutes. Loved it! Edit: this talk is extremely underrated. They didn’t even put it on the TED app.. So disappointing!

Practical Tools to help you with each of these criteria 1. Integrity- Open their diary and count your hours. The coherence between a diary and your values is where your integrity lies. (When you track your minutes dedicated to tasks, you will know what your current value is and what you need to adapt in scheduling to allow enough time to for the values you tell your self means most to you. Be honest with yourself. If you say something means a lot to you then spend a lot of time on it! 2. Energy- Any task you do that takes time only allow your mind to see 15 minutes. Break and 15 minutes. Repeat and continue. (Deal with one step at a time, do not let your mind to jump ahead see the whole picture). Climb a mountain one step a time. 3. Intelligence- Write down everything. Write down your life and document yourself. Describe the marshmallow

This is like one of the best things i ever listened to in my whole life. I just had the beginning of a panic attack an hour ago. And sometimes because of this issue I feel so powerless, like I'm not able to achieve all of my dreams (and I'm a big dreamer) because I'm too weak. The thing is I stopped smoking a month ago, I stopped Marihuana two years ago (the main reason for the panic attacks, they stay with you, even though they visit you less) and I lost some friends because of that. I don't know what will happen because of me stopped smoking, maybe I have to get distance to other people. Anyway the point is he is so totally right. Human beings aren't perfect. Our nature is weak, but we decide. I just love this so bad. It's giving confidence and hope. Thanks Ted talk for giving the internet a good reason to exist.

He is speaking to a room of SPANISH people. I suspect amongst other things he is speaking slowly out of generous consideration that English is not their native language. This talk is BRILLIANT and applicable for any type of success you might want. Relationship, health, wealth... To bring this back to YOU and the invitation he lays forth.. If you are complaining about the speed in which it was delivered, perhaps your mind is really just creating a diversion, because your ego does not want YOU to pay attention to it. Consider... This may be a way your ego sabotages other areas of your life. Success can be scary :)

When he mentioned documenting your life everyday, I came to a realization that the journals I wrote over the years were not a waste. When I read back the things I wrote, I could not believe the history I've been through and the growth I have attained. His point on taking things one step at a time made me re-think about my youth when I used to do that, because I always want the end result now and forget the process getting to the desired result. I would totally bet on myself now. What a brillant talk. One I very much needed especially during this trying time with COVID. God Bless this man.

I had always wondered what makes some men (or women) great! What is the one thing common in the lives of Churchill, Caesar, Napolean, Ataturk, Ghandi etc etc. I think I finally found it nearing my 60th birthday few years back! It is the fact that they all kept a diary! When I talk to my young colleagues, young engineers at the beginning of their career, I advise them to keep a diary. This holds true for anyone in any profession or walk of life. I wish I had known this 50 years ago when I tossed away the diary my father had given me as a birthday present. He had given me the most important present but I had nobody to advise me about its importance!.... This is an extremely well prepared and delivered TEDx talk!

Tool to maximize intelligence = Writing down any idea or your own life / write diary. Tool to maximize energy = one step at a time Tool to maximize integrity = The coherence between diary with value Success is repeated consistent good habit.

I'm speechless , this is absolutely the best Ted talk I watched so far

I'm absolutely blown away that there are negative comments about this. Starting with zero money and four children and an unemployed wife 20 years ago, I started and still own a small advertising business that more than quintupled my personal income, while allowing me to employ others along the way, give generously to what I believe in, get 100% out of debt, run a marathon and win an international body-transformation contest with my wife - among other things - At 50 years old, I can tell you that my success is in large part based on employing these three principles. My failures are almost 100% related to NOT employing these principles. Going forward, I intend ot focus more directly on these things. I listened all the way through and took notes. I thought his delivery was perfect. Any faster, and it would be hard to think about what he was saying. The people who haven't because it's "too slow" must be either really intelligent, or just impatient.

This is one of my fav Ted talks.... Thank you Connor Neill

Enjoyed this talk very much. I watched it years ago and the (only) one thing that stuck with me from back then was to focus only on the next step when things get hard. That has been helpful over the years, even though I had forgotten where I learned it. Hearing this talk again has now opened the greater message for me and I am committed to living by this. Thank you!

I am so glad i found this vid at the age of 20, sitting here in my room searching for motivation during the lockdown period. I will again comment in July 2021 to tell you the stuff I have achieved while applying this knowledge. cuz somebody once told me and I wrote in it my diary that ''knowledge is not knowledge unless it is an applied knowledge.

Really inspiring and very motivational. I watched it twice. And this is now my third time with my wife. Your words spoke to me, and I am repeating E.I.I. in my head all the time... Energy. Intelligence. Integrity. Best wishes from Lebanon [and my wife's homeland Canada] :)

Incredible - but true. I had over the years had many motivational speeches but never had this impact. This Gentleman is equipped with the 'art of communication to be listened not heard' - Thank You Sir

SO INSPIRATIONAL TO LIFT UP ONE'S LIFE TO THE FULLEST BY PRIORITIZING THEIR GOALS.

'Outstanding speaker' is certainly accurate, but it simply doesn't do him justice. For the record, my intro would have been: "Conor Neill should consider changing his name to Obi-Wan Conobi, because the man is a Jedi Master of public speaking." That is, of course, until my editor would get hold of it and hurriedly red-pen the complement down to something less colorful and/or skirting trademark infringement, something more like...'outstanding speaker.' All kidding aside, I've seen most or all of the TEDx talks on self-motivation (yes, including Tony Robbins) during a recent quest for inspiration, and this video is number one with a bullet in my book, both in substance and style. In addition to the presentation's overall excellence, Mr. Neill also aced the most crucial element of such a talk (which, quite inexplicably, is often either given short shrift or even omitted entirely); namely, providing the audience with the practical tools necessary for them to achieve long-term success in attaining each of the provided goals. After seeing this video, I checked out his KZread video series/linked blog on communication skills and personal achievement, which left me similarly impressed; the videos are engaging and succinct (mostly 1-4 minutes, perfect for my ADD self), each providing excellent, practical tools and strategies, and the blog posts provide additional quality advice and strategies with similar brevity. Muchas gracias, Mr. Neill...here's hoping that we have you around to continue providing a positive impact and inspiration to others for many years to come.

I wanna say the same

such a well structured, well spoken and used simple language so subtly and coherently to sum up all we need to be succesful!!! Incredible!!!

I celebrate that teacher who made you write everyday from 14. I believe he/she started you on the journey here. I feel my life absolutely altered by this new understanding.

The irony of me pausing this and adding it to watch later so I can watch instant justice fights while i take a break from my lawn is hilarious

This is the best Ted Speech i have ever come across. Kudos to Conor Neil

I sincerely admire you way of giving talks.It's a delight to listen to you from your first words to the last ones. And you know what? Your style is a very similar to my favourite speaker's style. Relaxed voice and pace, carefully choosen words, well structured ideas, presented in a captivating way. ... Thank you, for sharing with us your talks!

This presentation is much more than the Discipline of Finishing. In fact, that one-step-at-a-time concept doesn't even show up until the last 5 minutes or so. This is one of those that you should take notes and then see how your decisions and life habits add up. One of the most valuable suggestions here is to write it down so you see where your TRUE attention is being spent or wasted. Thank you for sharing these pearls of wisdom with us.

Lessons learnt : 1. one thing he missed was children who didn't ate that marshmallow, were given another marshmallow (REWARD) after 10 minutes. Patience is SWEET. 2. Break a bigger/TOUGH task into smaller/EASY task . e.g 42000 swimming strokes === stroke, stroke, breathe 3. Create an environment to BREAK bad habits( don't stare at marshmallow) and convert them into GOOD habits. e.g not buying chocolate from supermarket, keeping your running shoes next to your door etc

jaskirat singh mann he said they got two if they didn't eat it

"How little power they have on their own nature" , the marshmallow test. Will power is an incredible thing.

Extremely Inspiring. Journaling your life .Its so powerful. and just being present in the moment , focusing on the next 15 mins. I am achieving and accomplishing so much more in my life. Its one of the keys to living a Great life. Yes I am betting on Myself.

Outstanding speaker, wish there were more like him. Totally present.

I was searching KZread for "discipline and concentration" and came over this vid and I enjoyed it. It doesn't quite apply to me since I'm a gambler and an inventor, so I'm chasing the Jackpot -- small steps bore me to death. But from that specific angle (based on Warren's 3 criteria) his speech made sense, was even captivating ..

***** Thanks and Best Regards, Conor!

This was very inspirational and motivational. Thx for this video.

This one is by far the best presentantion I´ve watched! So many insights. Thanks so much!

This is the best ted talk ive encountered so far. so practical n he basically said that finishing is possible altho it may take some time, but it really is attainable. But also reminding me that enjoying the process is important n it shapes how its gonna end. I also love the 3 strategies, made me realize that its necessary to say no to things that dont line up with my priorities. bcus i have this tendency to say yes everytime becus i dont wanna disappoint anyone, but in the end i get overwhelmed n cant finish the task. i very much love this talk. and yes, im also betting on myself!

This video showed up in my feed yesterday. I took one look at the title and kept scrolling. I'm bad a seeing things through to completion. I guess part of me was worried that Id find that I was deficient or broken in some irreparable way and that Id continue to be a poor finisher. This morning I watched the video, challenging myself to confront whatever its contents might be and Im glad that I did.

I came across with his video in exactly at the right time of my life's journey.

this was a great talk. truly inspiring. i just made my first journal entry in a decade. i think this talk has changed my trajectory in some way. really glad to have found it

Great talk on TED. Connor Neil, excellent presenter, as always. Thank you so much for such an inspiring talk.

I'm making smores now! Thanks i needed some energy this morning!✌

For me, it was interesting to contemplate the three points in the context of a similar topic in vogue with charter schools: grit. Grit is a greater determiner of success in students than is natural intelligence. It's often associated with sheer mental toughness. Conor Neill's points essentially describe grit but in a way that really rounds out the definition and gives it these dimensions of integrity, energy, and intelligence. Well done. I'm going to revisit my to-do list for the upcoming week!

One of the great and powerful Ted talk! Thank you, Cono Neill!

There is much more to this message than the initial minutes of the speech show. Only towards the end did everything sink in as I adjusted to the speed of his voice. Very good talk

The frequency of comments remarking upon Conor's sedate and leisurely manner of speaking is truly astounding, in that it substantiates a theory I have. Allow me to reiterate. For in this video, as in many TEDx talks, a fundamental human emotion or characteristic is copiously explored. The characteristics under scrutiny here are patience and virtue. So when Conor presents the issue in the lack of these virtues, to provide analogy to the marshmallow experiment, he gives us a single marshmallow, a glint of success. He then proceeds to wallow about, seemingly aimlessly, and "leaves the room." Following this, all those who are assiduous enough to have watched the full video received the second marshmallow in the form of the formula for success. I do believe that he committed to such an extremely plodding pace for that effect, only those willing to commit were worthy. For under any other circumstances I do believe, based on his prolific affluence and intellectual merit, he could have candidly stated his exigence, candidly stated his findings, and candidly stated his conclusion.

Yeah.. But most people watching these videos there's no epiphany here, it's more like weight to a body builder. Already know how to exercise, the weight is just more convenient. I doubt anyone life is changed by his dramatic performance. That being said, oration is an art form, and delivery is all timing. It's like asking a painter to use less color or variety lol do fuck it, let the man ramble, it's better than Lil Wayne or rhianna
