Descriptions:
http://www.ted.com Alain de Botton examines our ideas of success and failure — and questions the assumptions underlying these two judgments. Is success always earned? Is failure? He makes an eloquent, witty case to move beyond snobbery to find true pleasure in our work.

This man and Jordan Peterson never fail to amaze me
"It is a sin to judge any man by his post." – Saint Augustine
Alain, your talks are timeless ❤️
so delighted and honored
12 years down the road and this speech is becoming more important.
Legend dude
I love this mans brain ?
How he thinks
And areas he hasn’t yet thought about
Perhaps he has and chose to speak on this?
I am intrigued by this brainiac
lol
I believe
Success is a state of mind
To the individual of course and the mindset of such a vast array of mindsets,
That said … badly
“Individual thought”
Alain needs to expand on this
But is restricted by omniscience
Just as I am
I’m So happy to learn from his ideas
Brilliantly and brilliant
Here’s my success story
I have overcome all my personal life’s obstacles…so far
I would love to have a cuppa with this wonderful man and chat on all the subjects he presented
And more
“What a beautiful mind!”
Maybe we could enlighten each other’s perspectives and both grow ❣️
Thats what i new in my heart ♥️
Against perfection,
We are all losers
Against improvement,
We could all be winners.
How superior r u?
this type of content is way above the level of Just A TED Talk
Blind faith in others is not true love but trying to understand others is true form of love.
Trying to understand others can't produce hate or fear except love and kindness in us.
great

Thank you!
that was amazing TT
One of the best talks I've ever listened to. The guy is a genius, on the one hand he speaks with such clarity and elegance and on the other he maintains a very good sense of humor!?
"If you've got a couple of good ideas and a nice garage, you might be the next Bill Gates"…
I love the line "We should not give up on our ideas of success, but we should make sure they are our own." Bravo! SO true. From the time we're young, the outside world influences our ideas of what success should look like for ourselves. Look inside instead!
Am I missing a part where he deals with the self-imposed nature of status anxiety? External snobbery may be the original cause. But to have long term problems with this you have to perpetuate it on yourself. And it seems to me that people who do not think about "status anxiety" do very well for themselves, yet are also more capable of snobbery toward others. I'm starting to see that a lot of this depends on how hard/serious a person takes "snobbery" and how long they remember it. Very weird.
I'm so happy that people like him exist in this world. Takes some load off your soul.
1:18 Snobs discussed.
You change meaning of succes because you keep failing. It's normal so you won't find yourself a loser ?
This man has said something that the whole world needs to hear.
The topic on the video is about success and failure. The two things I have learnt from this video are: Success is based on self-help. Secondly, any state of mind or level in life that put you out of anxiety is success.
As a student, success or failure in college or career is based on my personal decision or effort to succeed. The extent of seriousness I put in my studies determines my success or failure. I don't need to depend on or copy what others are doing because you are not in them, is only God that knows us. When I diligently utilized every resource made available to me in college and make them my own, definitely I will succeed. Like if I am a given homework, and I made a personal effort to do it and submit it on time, I am working towards success without anxiety or much pressure on me.

He seems really stressed. He would come across as more confident if he slowed down a bit. There's no need to rush anything. 🙂
Funny you should ask that question , I was thinking the exact same. I am almost certain it is !! ?
I keep going back to this talk.. so beautifully said, hilarious too ?
this man is golden!This guy spoke out my mind
I love Alain de Botton. He's such a great enrichement for the society!
Let's make sure our ideas of success are truly our own.
