Designing the rest of your life | Dave Evans | TEDxSanFranciscoSalon

[@Z.Ritz83]

I love this guy's enthusiasm. As a 20 year old, I feel like I have a lot of time and want to manifest multiple versions of myself within this one life.

[@EddieValdesSabater]

Great talk. I’m 55 and I have some people I meet regularly and they either asked me: “what are you up to now?” Or “have you found out what you want to be when you grow up?”. Thanks for the work you’re doing and for the simplest and straightforward career advice I’ve heard in a long time!

[@orientartemmesa]

Eddie Valdes I totally agree!

[@jamo1164]

To those who felt he spoke too fast, you're likely not city folk. As a New Yorker, I personally understood every word and loved that I didn't have to mentally say, "hurry up and get to the point" as I so often do when listening to speakers from other parts of the country. I appreciate that we all have different speaking styles and preferences. The great thing about KZbin is you can throw on the captions, or change the speed of the video so you can fully process his message about how to "design your life", which I found terrific and inspiring!

[@1catmac]

U can slow down in settings

[@juliehorner889]

Thank you.. My IPad knows what I need to listen to. This morning it sent me to this Ted Talk. I’m retiring from teaching this month. I’ve taught for 28 years. I’m looking for my “Encore Career”. Your talk encouraged me. Thank you very much.

[@donsajith291]

Severely underrated TED video! Deserves more views!

[@manalani3724]

if people were to be totally honest with themselves they know what their passionate about.... if one is passionate about so many things...pick one, preferably closest to ones heart...everything else flows

[@theagilecoach2435]

Try 0.75 speed if it's too fast

[@tintswalomhlongo6514]

Thanks. He sounds funny now though

[@NESherv]

He sounds drunk at 0.75x. I wish there was something more like 0.85x or 0.9x available.

[@jinwu7305]

@@NESherv You can customize the speed yourself. If you have Chrome, use ctrl+shift+J to pull up the command window and type in "document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].playbackRate=0.85"

[@NESherv]

@@jinwu7305 That's awesome! Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me (I think it's because I have a Mac).

[@utualan]

Perfect speed for me personally.

[@wellbodisalone]

Truthful talk. Life changes, and it's normal to change your goals or the way you see things as time goes by. What matters is that you don't lose hope along the way.

[@wisepersonsay3142]

Life is all about trying and finding out what you're most good at. Some say everyone is talented in something. It may be true, but the real keys for personal life fulfilment are determination, diligence and self-discipline. Many people lack them, that is why they are stuck and have to die without contentment. This time and age, there are so many choices and options just like breakfast cereals, one can change and recourse one's life goal according to the circumstances and time progression. One doesn't need to be adamant and inflexible. The most important thing is to find out what you want to do with your only once life. Going to a college is not always the best option for many youngsters. Having real life experience is. Don't get programmed having a college degree will give you a passport for financial success. It's a lie. Many wealthy successful people never went to a college, or dropped out. They knew what they wanted to do with their life.

[@Violinist265]

😅😅😅😅 his energy level is unbelievable 😥 👍👏👏👏👏

[@LenoraForest]

I enjoyed your talk very much. I love it that you said - what is next, instead of what is the only answer for my life. Bravo !! Thanks for all you're doing. I'm sure it's making a difference.

[@sagek7949]

LenoraForest Same! I think that is what I wanted to hear the most at this moment .

[@shafwhat]

awesome...this guy is just a genius...so much wit n humor and truth in what he says

[@orientartemmesa]

Just excellent! That’s what career education should look like!

[@bryanramirez1280]

He's so energetic, I love it. Also, for those who found it interesting, they have books and accessible courses on this stuff.

Great talk...truthful talk. Wish I'd known all this when I was 15.

[@peacekeepermoe]

That's why he said "it's never too late" and gave an example of the lady who had grown up kids ;)

[@orientartemmesa]

Jeanette York I will share it with 15 year old kids! That ‘s what they need to know!

[@unpeudevin3837]

It's not gonna work on 15 year old I believe.

@@unpeudevin3837 it does actually, as long as you know how to make it work

[@emilythesongbird2306]

Thanks for the fabulous and inspirational talk! I am in a time of transition and have designed my dream life, but now it needs to change, so I will apply your tips by developing curiosity, talking to people, and trying stuff to find out what the next chapter holds. Deeply grateful for your wise, insightful words.

[@anthonycarco2062]

Very interesting topic! i do not know what exactly i want to do with my life but i know how i want to live everyday and am going to see where life takes me.

[@MrRocketDad]

I dearly hope to have this much energy at 64!

[@mershtron]

Dave Evans at 50% speed is Jeff Goldblum. I'm dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@DnF0hCherry]

I was just watching his Mr. Burnett's talk, he had the same introduction of his partner and their work together. It takes me a while to realize "Oh, so this is the partner they were talking about." 😂😂

[@WeicaiXu]

love the content! if you add rhymes it would be the greatest rap of all time.

[@RuiguKabucho]

One of the best talks I have watched. Very helpful ideas, told in a way that you get them and do them. Thanks!

[@majamarinic]

If you study for an hour chosen field every day, in a 5 years time you can become national expert in it.

[@md.zahirhossain1457]

Though I am non native English speaker, I am absolutely okay to follow his speed.

[@vkoo]

His partner Bill Burnett’s TEDtalk on the same topic is more organized and clear

[@utualan]

Dave's is a great one too - great content and enthusiastically delivered. I strongly suggest watching both to get the best value.

[@poojapatel463]

I prefer the disorder :)

[@arleneg6040]

I prefer Bill. And usually I'm near hyper as Dave. But he made me hyperventilate. So it's Bill, hands down! More info and better slides too! 👌🌿

[@albert1387]

we will look back on the importance of this one day

[@DrBettyQuantumAI]

This was an amazing performance. I enjoyed it very much. Apart from the perfect way of presenting the issue - the content is very helpful. Thank you for that. :)

[@pancakesamich]

Ooh amazing! -Yeah!

[@Stacy_Sunshine]

Since I can't find an email address for you, Dave... I hope you see this! I have an idea for your wife! Homelessness.... We are looking at so much vacant commercial space all over the place. Not many towns are using all buildings to capacity. Why can't we have a "rule" that says if your property is more than ___% vacant for longer than ___(amount of time), then the property owners have to turn it back to nature OR into a place that would benefit the population.... homeless shelters, cheap hostels, communal living spaces where work can be traded for rent, community type gardens that would provide jobs and food for those in need, and other ideas of this nature. It would move the population segment off the streets and solve other social problems as well.

[@hammieinvestigations5392]

The phrase homeless is a catch all, but more often means drug users.

Better if you watch it at .75 speed. The speaker is hyper af

[@thoumaster]

I find him a little slow, so crank it to 1.75, actually.

He made me hyperventilate. Thanks. Your recommendation slowed me and the rush down!

At the time of the Industrial Revolution, we began believing that all progress requires movements. • we actually feel like it’s a necessity… Too FUNNY-> Do you kw. That in America your forefathers said that each of you has the right to pursue Happiness? As Americans, you don’t have the right to sit & be happy.

[@priyamohanhr727]

How can be a more human

[@hammieinvestigations5392]

He said seven years to solve homelessness, answer provide homes. Equine therapy is not about therapy. It's about using non-profit tax exemptions to landowners; the idea is make a non-profit then get (as few as legally possible) silly people to talk to "a very old horses" and call it therapy. Everyone should use this idea at home and call it dog, cat, fish, reptile, rabbit, bird, ferret, or hamster therapy and get a non-profit tax exemption. It becomes a joke that so many Ted Talks speakers talk about silly stuff and make it sound so believable.

[@drumlicks85]

Is anyone else getting a jeff Goldbloom vibe?........ this comment was brought to you by weed...

[@ninjkhurel9657]

Good content but he needs to work on his delivery. He talks too fast and enunciation is not good.

[@maryamrashidi2329]

It was fun to watch, but the concept the title advocates was too simplified in the talk and the end was barely more than a truism and did not reflect the questions the speaker raised at the start ...
