Bertrand Russell said that too

I hear people saying you wont necessarily be successful even if you follow these '8 traits'. But success is relative, no one said you will be the next Bill Gates and you dont need to be! Success can simply be that you are happy now when you were unhappy before. And you cannot prioritise anything above happiness and contentment with life.

Why cant people understand that these vids were edited especially for TED ed? Its not really meant to be as a TED speech. That is why at the end there's TED ed... Its meant to be flipped by educators and shown in the classroom, making the graphics enticing is very usable in class lectures. And there is value in way he has been saying... There are way too many cynics and pessimists in this world.

I love his speeches on TED, and his book, too. He is great, very inspiring. Very simple but thoughtful contents. Enjoy it.

i love his voice tone. clear and easy to understand. . .

"we could do it for free, but we have to earn our food"...if you say that for your job, then I think you love it

maybe people with 8 traits don't have success but successful people must have this 8 traits

Wow, this is the Very truthful, eye-opening, inspiring video. Thanks 😃

thank you... this inspires me

I was in very much depression last couple of days. Trying to improve myself. After watching this video I have been searching for my passion but still I didn't find it. But I got the answer about my depression.

Good talk about the big problem in finding passion, maybe we are falling to the 'seeker''s path, so let's not give up!

I found out what i loved to do in 5th grade.My passion is creating and designing buildings, and with the help of games my love for creating grew!I love making blue prints before i start to build my buildings, so that way i know what im doing and can plan things out easily when building with my friends.

Inspiring video . Loved it 👏

WOW, thanks, you're a life saver

Motivatived me a lot. Thanks

wow this is so moving

yeah! I have been putting number 38 bolt into part 35 on an assembly line for 47years ! and I love it ! some people dont understand MY PASSION ,I even sneak out the same parts so I can do it at home! so I guess to each there own!

this is amazing

Very inspirational ! 😊

Well, the one thing he left out is you have to always be doing something. A whole lot of people are obsessed with finding the job they want to do, and there for ignore anything they don't want to do. So you end up a dreamer, rather than a doer.

My passion is designing and art.. But I am 'supposed to' be a Chartered Accountant, being in the finals.. And once I am with the qualifications, I don't think it would be right to go for designing ditching all the work and time I invested/wasted in this course.. I know the perfect difference between my passion and my money-seeker job, but it won't be easy to 'go-for-it' when I have been pursuing accountancy for like 4 years and finals await.

Inspiring

I like this video =)

I have many passions that I love, unfortunately I'm working on something different that I don't love, but it's kinda impossible to leave my job and do what love in my life :(

The game heartstone was some guys that was doing something they thought was funny doing, they later showed it to their boss and it is now the biggest income that Blizzard entertainment has.

Thanks, Gracias!

sir Richard , how to find your passion when you're pretty versatile ?

Reading the comments here could discourage you. Proceed with caution. :)

thanks

"How can you tell there is nobody there?" - Referring to the comment he replied to, who mentioned the fact the Audience is not in the picture when he talks, it sounds like the laughing was dubbed over, the clapping at the end came in early and the view of him is front of a carefully set up black screen. I guess this answers his question at the same time.

Near to the last part, it said: you don't love your work so go to the job on side and eventually the money appears. I disagree with that here in Peru the painters, that love their work, doesn't have so much money. They live with the sufficient money to get food but they are poor. In my opinion someone have to choose a career that help him to satisfies its expectations of quality of life and if you choose a career with no high remuneration accept your almost definite economic destiny.

As a student is it a good idea to put a few years in a degree to maybe use it later as a safety net if your passion doesn't work out ?

"Gates was born in Seattle, Washington on October 28, 1955. He is the son of William H. Gates, Sr.[b] and Mary Maxwell Gates. Gates' ancestral origin includes English, German, and Irish, Scots-Irish.[17][18] His father was a prominent lawyer, and his mother served on the board of directors for First Interstate BancSystem and the United Way. Gates' maternal grandfather was JW Maxwell, a national bank president. Gates has one elder sister, Kristi (Kristianne), and one younger sister, Libby. He was the fourth of his name in his family, but was known as William Gates III or "Trey" because his father had the "II" suffix.[19] Early on in his life, Gates' parents had a law career in mind for him.[20] When Gates was young, his family regularly attended a church of the Congregational Christian Churches, a Protestant Reformed denomination.[21][22][23] The family encouraged competition; one visitor reported that "it didn't matter whether it was hearts or pickleball or swimming to the dock ... there was always a reward for winning and there was always a penalty for losing".[24] At 13, he enrolled in the Lakeside School, a private preparatory school.[25] When he was in the eighth grade, the Mothers Club at the school used proceeds from Lakeside School's rummage sale to buy a Teletype Model 33 ASR terminal and a block of computer time on a General Electric (GE) computer for the school's students.[26] Gates took an interest in programming the GE system in BASIC, and was excused from math classes to pursue his interest. He wrote his first computer program on this machine: an implementation of tic-tac-toe that allowed users to play games against the computer. Gates was fascinated by the machine and how it would always execute software code perfectly. When he reflected back on that moment, he said, "There was just something neat about the machine."[27] After the Mothers Club donation was exhausted, he and other students sought time on systems including DEC PDP minicomputers. One of these systems was a PDP-10 belonging to Computer Center Corporation (CCC), which banned four Lakeside students - Gates, Paul Allen, Ric Weiland, and Kent Evans - for the summer after it caught them exploiting bugs in the operating system to obtain free computer time.[28][29] At the end of the ban, the four students offered to find bugs in CCC's software in exchange for computer time. Rather than use the system via Teletype, Gates went to CCC's offices and studied source code for various programs that ran on the system, including programs in Fortran, Lisp, and machine language. The arrangement with CCC continued until 1970, when the company went out of business. The following year, Information Sciences, Inc. hired the four Lakeside students to write a payroll program in Cobol, providing them computer time and royalties. After his administrators became aware of his programming abilities, Gates wrote the school's computer program to schedule students in classes. He modified the code so that he was placed in classes with "a disproportionate number of interesting girls."[30] He later stated that "it was hard to tear myself away from a machine at which I could so unambiguously demonstrate success."[27] At age 17, Gates formed a venture with Allen, called Traf-O-Data, to make traffic counters based on the Intel 8008 processor.[31] In early 1973, Bill Gates served as a congressional page in the U.S. House of Representatives.[32] Gates graduated from Lakeside School in 1973, and was a National Merit Scholar.[33] He scored 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT[34] and enrolled at Harvard College in the autumn of 1973,[35] chose pre-law major but took most rigorous mathematics and graduate level computer science courses.[36] While at Harvard, he met Steve Ballmer, who would later succeed Gates as CEO of Microsoft.[37] In his second year, Gates devised an algorithm for pancake sorting as a solution to one of a series of unsolved problems[38] presented in a combinatorics class by Harry Lewis, one of his professors. Gates' solution held the record as the fastest version for over thirty years;[38][39] its successor is faster by only one percent.[38] His solution was later formalized in a published paper in collaboration with Harvard computer scientist Christos Papadimitriou.[40] Gates did not have a definite study plan while a student at Harvard[41] and spent a lot of time using the school's computers. Gates remained in contact with Paul Allen, and he joined him at Honeywell during the summer of 1974.[42] The following year saw the release of the MITS Altair 8800 based on the Intel 8080 CPU, and Gates and Allen saw this as the opportunity to start their own computer software company.[43] Gates dropped out of Harvard at this time. He had talked this decision over with his parents, who were supportive of him after seeing how much Gates wanted to start a company.[41]" waow, what an underachiever. -.-

i fail to believe that rich people (e.g Bill.G) didn't care about money. if programming is your passion, you will end up as a (average earning) programmer.....you have to think a lot about (making and managing) money or business to have that much money. How much time has your passionate programmer (Bill) spent in programming in the last several years, and how much time in managing the business? Nicolas Tesla was a passionate researcher, it seems. He actually didn't care about money, and died without money (I respect him poor or rich). I have seen many passionate artists on the streets, I wish they were rich.

@LazerQip

That's an interesting point. I have examples of people who went for things that they loved and they didn't earn any money with that. So eventually, they had to switch over to the job they didn't like just so they could pay for their living. So I guess you probably shouldn't care about the money at first, but when you already know what you really love you should understand how you could make money from it. And also it could turn out that you no more like what you're doing after you went for money in this field. It somewhat happened to me in the past - I really enjoyed programming when I was small and when I coded things that were interesting for me, but when I became an employee and started to code some boring stuff on a daily basis it turned out to be not so fun and joyful. (If you're interested, I quit my job after working for 2 years as a programmer and now I'm looking for further possible directions to navigate.)

Though I admit it does have its own merits, "follow your passion" is an old cliche. I know of countless people who do what they love without much financial gain. Passion "may" improve your chances at measurable success, but it guarantees nothing. It's also a useless tip for people who don't have a passion in life. Don't assume that it's something you will discover "eventually" -that's just pseudoscientific optimism.

danninemx Its a cliche for a reason. Its true and its great advice, that's why its said so often. You can have millions of dollars and be miserable. Success itself is measured by the individual setting the goals. If your goal is to be rich, sure, get a crappy job you hate and become successful at that goal. Will you have a good life? No, but you'll be successful by your own definition. If your goal is to be happy, than follow your passion and you will be happy. You could be poor, but you'll be happy. For people with no passion in life, they may never find their passion, but they should never stop looking for it. If they don't find it, they will probably always be lost, unfulfilled, and unhappy. That's the reality of the world we live in. Not everyone is designed to be happy. The advice is solid, people who can't find a passion can't be helped. They need to help themselves and find something to live for.
