A comedian's take on self motivation | Olayiwola Isaac aka Layi Wasabi | TEDxLagos

[@GabrielOyerinde]

What he's essentially saying is that if no one starts you, no one can stop you-except yourself, if you choose to stop

[@MrDxDev]

i meet you here gabu??🤣

[@noverstorm]

obviously talking about God

[@tartoronov7340]

You've got the switch

[@opeyemiokediji]

An object at rest which was acted upon by an external force will keep on moving except stopped by another external force. But since the force that got him moving in the first place is internal, external forces can’t stop him. Only an internal force can that is, himself. At the end of the day, the only person that can stop you is you. Really insightful. Thank you!

[@fowowefunke]

Wow , your comment hit me, like a force

[@opeyemiokediji]

Thanks. I’m glad you found it helpful

[@ojo4greatness]

Yes, that's what he meant. Kickstart yourself to start moving, and don't stop yourself from moving forward. From his speech, I can say I learned to Take responsibility and stop waiting for external pushes. Also, Take responsibility to keep going rather than blaming others from your hindrances.

[@Vigilanteodds]

Perfect

[@fitinwell]

​@@fowowefunke Yeah but that was all he spoke about in summary..

[@Davidovbiagele]

This video reaffirms again how that Layi is such a phenomenally brilliant person, He’s not just any random comedian or content creator. 👍 Hats 🎩 off to this guy

Yeah. He's not a regular comedian

Layi is extremely intelligent. He implied he broke the first law of motion since the force that acted upon him was internal. What a guy!

School might not be a scam, but its not there to fulfill your passion, what I'm trying to say is that it is not the school he went that led him to where he is today but passion and will to get there.

[@BeAG00dHuman]

This! I'd love to hold a conversation with him in real life.

Beautiful speech!! I love the flow of the speech, how each analogy/story's linked to the next and little by little, paints the picture of what the main message is about. Well done Layi👏❤

Always remember why you started in the first place. Keep showing up even when no one believes in you. Believe in yourself and keep pushing through. Slowly but surely, your resilience will pay off. Thanks for this insightful speech Mr Olayiwola.

[@AdaraloyemakindeSamuel]

[@olayiwolaakerele254]

Nice analogy and well delivered. But the law of inertia on a basic level speaks to a physical force and externally forces. The internal (mental/psychological) energy that moved you was still from an external influence that mentally excited your energy to move, accolades, awards and successes will add to that energy (all external by the way). As long as you filter what energy you receive, you will keep rising. 🚀

[@harkconsulthub]

What will you say in the case of a blind man. Take Cobhams as a case study? Since he doesn't have an eye to observe the world around him.

[@ShyamkrishnanNair]

Of course! It’s fascinating how internal motivation can drive us forward despite external challenges. I felt a similar push when I decided to pursue my passion for writing, even when distractions pulled me back. I joined the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x, which taught me that humor can be a great motivator in tough times-it lightens the load! Just like in social situations, where timing can make or break a joke, our internal drive shapes our path. Keep moving forward, and don't let anything stop your momentum!

[@blessedeshemenije2798]

In less than 6 minutes, Layi gave a legendary speech💥

An intelligentsia and more, Layi totally bodied this talk! Big ups to this man.

[@emmanueluyah4887]

The way he just turned everything into a motivation is really a masterpiece

[@sommiescorner]

Wow!!!! One of the most powerful exposures in just 5 minutes What is moving me is within, therefore I can’t be stopped by the forces outside And as a Jesus girl, the force within me is the Holy Spirit. Aya!!!!

[@bensonodunayo525]

Thank you, Layi That's uncommon It's insightful and reviving

[@tobisalami]

Excellent analogy there! I'll add that although the law of gravity exists, planes still fly up high and can remain up there if they continue to be propelled from within their structure. Welldone!

[@mideandreconsult8790]

Yes,but there are no fuel stations up there.😅

[@iambenjamen]

You got the idea! Fuel from within!!😅

[@pithemoonsage]

I LOVE THE ARTICULATION, CHOICE OF WORDS & THE WAY HE NAVIGATED ABOUT THE TOPIC🔥💜

[@odejidecharity]

I was surprised the way he delivered, I mean I wasn't expect a science part to his speech(Inertia)😅 and it was concise❤.

[@emmanueloluebube193]

A very insightful analogy 😊. If brilliance was a person... 👏🏽👏🏽. My take out, "A girl moved from within, cannot be stopped by an external force. In other words, I can only be my own hinderance/barrier". Thank you, Layi!!

[@bellokhaeerat]

Wow, this is an excellent presentation! The analogy is on point!! 💯 Thank you very much for sharing, sir.

[@kasalifathia4643]

I've always known that Layi thinks beyond the ordinary. Such knowledgeable thesis passed in one of the shortest Ted talks I've wacthed.

[@GloryBamgboye]

So phenomenal! Didn’t want him to stop! But c’mom Layi gave a brilliant speech

[@Kristee__]

This guy is exceptionally brilliant...from the first video I watched of him, I knew he was a force....keep rolling layi 🎉

[@EmmyrockHolyblaze]

The external force influenced the internal force in both situations. If you see or hear poverty, you won't want to be stationary or stop moving. However, the greater force wins no matter what influenced what. But Inertia is still implied. But a good speech in all❤.

[@agricstudents3082]

Perhaps you haven't met people who believe that they cannot be rich and must depend on others to survive?

[@jesutobaoladipo8829]

Amazing! Hats off, Accolades, He deserves all. Just thinking, What if the external force that science was referring to in his case is the examples outside 'Oshogbo' he once saw that inspired a 'tour around the world' thought in him. An eagle raised with chicken will not attempt flight until an external force acts on it (wind, sight of other lookalike eagles at sight) JUST THINKING!

[@arogundade_olumide]

This awesome. I respective of the forces (internal or external) that's responsible for your initial move, you can only be stop by whatever you permit. Thank you 'Layi

[@peppletalks]

Layi is so intellectual, fam!!🔥 The analogy is just perfect and simple

[@unique9719]
