Doers, Dreamers, and the Differences Between Them | Joshua York | TEDxLivoniaCCLibrary

As an adult human, we make about 35,000 decisions per day. The only thing keeping someone from becoming extraordinary is the way that they make these decisions and then how they act upon them. Josh will be sharing the differences between dreamers and doers, and some simple things that you can do to become the latter. Josh is a 2017 graduate from Michigan State with a bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management and a minor in German. In 2013 he founded a streetwear apparel brand, York Project. York Project started as a one-for-one company, donating living essentials to the homeless for every product sold. After 5 years, the organization has made over 21,000 donations to people in need in 23 American cities. Josh and his team plan to open up a manufacturing operation in Detroit and employ previously homeless individuals that are re-entering the workforce. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

How to be a doer? (common traits of a doer) 1. Be confident in your abilities, and in yourself. 2. Narrow down options, less is more. 3. Not be afraid to ask! 4. Get used to be rejected, embrace your fear. 5. Taking action!

[@itsmeravikiran]

The gist of this talk is that all Doers are dreamers but not all dreamers are doers. The push is to increase the number of doers and help those dreamers stuck in inertia. Good talk.

[@LilyEvans1996]

Ravi Kiran thanks 😂😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@kamalkumar7978]

Not exactly. Here the Doers are actually the Doers with purpose. There are also the Doers who are not purpose driven. Those are the Doers who follow the herd without giving much thought to it. Be a Doer with a Purpose.

[@user-xc6xj4ml1l]

1. Reduce the number of options and just choose, it is where confidence come 2. expect to get told no asking something 3. Thinking globally, acting locally

[@souleymanediarra4842]

What a great talk. I can't even remember the last time I've been rejected because I don't bother to ask.

[@soniachauhan4459]

This is a really good talk. So many of us don't take actions on their ideas and keep dreaming on. Ultimately, we are defined by the things we do and not the things we intend to do.

[@Masterbaiter1000]

You mean the things we want to do

[@WestOfEarth]

One aspect of doing that bears mentioning is having confidence in your ability to recover from a bad decision, a mistake, or just plain bad luck. Humans are amazingly resilient.

[@lguadez]

As I was listening to this channel, I've always think that I am a dreamer but it turns out that every single big decisions I've made in my life I have always been a doer. This talk though opened my eyes not to be afraid to ask for help and also not to be afraid to get rejected. Thank you very much.

[@olgakukh9512]

Great talk! Great to listen to the content and see the person growing as a speaker right there during the talk))

[@mahmudanoor801]

This talk is great. I try my best to get things done. But when I got stuck in the middle, I am always afraid to ask people for help. I am afraid to get rejected. I always think what they would think about me. Then I gave up. This is an eye opener for me. I need to change this attitude for my good.

[@k2ajit]

This is one of the best ted talks. There is no glitz or glamour but actionable insights. Great one Josh and would wait for your next speech or a book perhaps ?

[@AbhishekAggarwalonline]

To ask Be confident Don't be afraid to take a risk

[@irfiinay7671]

"What does a dreamer or doer look like?"- my face is ready.

[@djtanikgotbeatz]

red cat ahahah

[@notanfningain]

I am a dreamer, and a doer; many of my dreams never came to fruition, others I am still trying to attain but probably never will, but at least I know, I damn well tried.

[@refiloendlovu6518]

02:35 Never thought I'd hear such on a ted talk!!!

[@asoyoyukii3902]

what do you mean?

[@weirdbunney5500]

great talk thanks

[@INsange]

I enjoyed your talk and agree with you on many aspects, however you can not split people into doers and dreamers. These are two sides of every one of us. Most of the times one of these sides is more developed and our perception is that person is just a dreamer where in fact if you look deeper into that person you will find out there's also a doer inside. ACT changes things.

[@sitti_dove5476]

alex barbu , you are right. Maybe he needs to recategorize people into three: 1) the person who makes things happen, 2) the person who watches things happen, 3) the person who never know what has happened. These three categories are just part of an evolving being in each one of us. We started from the person who didnt know what has happened. Some evolves to those who watches things happen. Then few evolve to become the person who makes things happen. What do you think?

[@anirudhtiwari5876]

If you observe closely the speaker here not too comfortable at giving speech here but he still did it the next time will give a speech he will be better than the last time because he will be more confident I think his goal was to do a Ted talk and he did it if just thinks of a giving a speech he will just keep think and never actually do it atleast he did it that was his whole point just do it don't just dream about it live it . . My personal experiences is i use to watch a lot of vlogs on KZbin livin my life through the lens of others and I was thinking and dreaming of making my own KZbin channel but I didn't make it I was just dreaming about it after few Months started making and uploading them finally I was a doer and with time my subscribe increased they are not too many but I'm happy I'm doing something not just dreaming about it

[@TheXuism]

good point . search 100 rejection therapy ,that is the best practice to become a doer.

[@jordyliterario]

I have realized that I'm a doer as long as I am surrounded by other doers, but if I'm alone, I'm such a dreamer... What am I then?!

[@devantewilliams4402]

Jordy Literario A follower. And that's cool because there always has to be Indians and Chiefs, but strive to be a Chief my man!

[@igotbluesdevils]

human..? :D

[@roberte.6892]

This is why its important to surround yourself with the right people.

[@samuelmanlando4334]

same here , sometimes i am like what you think.

[@chike1866]

Gosh, I'm a chronic dreamer!

[@akkash99999]

Amazingg!! The things he said really mean a lot and is helpful in life. But if he had presented in a more better way, I believe this video would get millions of views.

[@jaayfree]

👏🏾

[@MAsonTRIX]

Lost me at college...

[@danielseha]

I'm a doer. I've started a podcast channel, go have a look.

[@awakenthegreatnesswithin]

Great work.

[@vikatochophy4552]

No, I won't. Tell it to a goer^^

[@Quiter19]

Nice my man. YEEHA Daniel!

[@igotbluesdevils]

ahah, mmmmmmmmno! :D (good job dude anyway, keep it up)

[@RoachCutscenes]

*Breaking News*: man dies from dairy allergies after eating the wrong item on the menu

[@AnnieE68]

My question is : Since Jesse has done SO MUCH why hasent he made it out of his parents basement??

[@kenkclam]

It seems irrational to say you train your confidence by learning to limit your options The confidence should come from knowing what exactly you want

[@patrickpaisley9954]

Same difference. It's always both

[@tjtj3167]

Nobody that is grown n lives with their parents is a do-er

[@sisoshsasa]

very boring...

[@LivingChartz]

Take no offence, but most people are just collecting ideas. All the views and turnouts really means nothing. How much of the people watching a video actually do something with the ideas generated?

[@thomasbreakey9925]

Hopefully he knows the wage gap is a myth, poor soy boy

[@i2harry]

His examples don’t make much sense. Jesse may have passion for charity, but it doesn’t mean she has no passion for her career. She has her priorities straight. It doesn’t make her “all talk no action”. Why it always have to involve music bands or charity to be considered “action”?

[@quepoxi]

Why would I go to a restaurant and not look at the menu all in the name of being a doer lol.

[@dennisr.levesque2320]

Doers & Dreamers? This was more about Doers only, with an omission of the Dreamers. Totally biased. You confuse fake confidence with genuine confidence/competence. "Doing" without proper forethought will get you into trouble. But, I guess you're too dazzled to realize that yet.

[@cristinadaponte5332]

You sound rattled. Of course this is about 'doers.' It's about getting you to DO things.

[@dennisr.levesque2320]

To Cristina DaPonte: Rattled? Maybe that's just thoughts falling on deaf ears. Anybody can DO things. But, not all things are worth doing. I hope you know the difference. Think about it. I hope me answering you doesn't count as one of those. Was it worthwhile? Yeah, I'm bored.

[@Quiter19]

Risk vs Reward. If I'm prepared to risk then sometimes I will achieve the rewards I am trying to obtain. Easy as, sweeter than as. Much love. Q

[@irfiinay7671]

i think he’s trying to convey that some of us might be to afraid to even do anything to begin with. not really about recklessly doing things without giving much thought about it.

[@dennisr.levesque2320]

To Irfi Inay: Maybe. But, when I see people dive into a swimming hole (true story) and send a cloud of mud to the surface, I feel compelled to give warning about it.

[@wallycleaver9749]

dude you need to get about 30 more years under your belt before judging others

[@garythomas4936]

The gender wage gap, the 'GENDER WAGE GAP'... there is no such thing... It's a complete fallacy.

[@userou-ig1ze]

couldn't continue listening after 'accounting person' and 'you know, things that are relevant'. Get your act together before a ted talk. wtf!

[@fredrik2035]

Well, he is a doer. He didn't think about what to say, he just got up there.

[@chrisrandallmagic]

Honestly pretty bad actually. He is way to nervous and fumbles way to much. He is a terrible speaker and it hurt whatever message he is attempting to deliver. I bet this was great on paper but he doesn’t know how to present his “work”.

[@MrD10e]

isnt that kinda proving the point he isn't perfect but he's doing facing fear or rejection or messing up and doing. It's reached over 60,000 ppl many who have said positive things so he's embodying his words.

[@chrisrandallmagic]

I’m sure this guy is very smart and has great work. I’m saying as a presenter he needs work. After doing speech’s more than once he can polish this and get his message across to millions. 60 thousand isn’t a big number for a ted talk or viral video. Not bashing the person or his work only saying he doesn’t know how to present his work and that is something he needs to practice

[@MrD10e]

I was thinking during the speech wow I could deliver this better or thoughts like that but then I realized I've never even done a ted talk and it's more impressive to do something even if its not perfect then to not do it at all. That being said I'm sure he's received constructive criticism and hopefully learn moving forward so his actions have more impact. Failure is fine as long as you learn from it and you can't fail unless you do. (not saying he failed)

[@chike1866]

Dude, he just did it! And I luv it

[@OurNewestMember]

0 0 : Understandable sentiment, but that's a blanket overstatement. Obviously you can see and feel the tension in the talk's first 4 minutes, but that judgment doesn't hold for all of the talk. E.g., the talk's later idea about doers "using the ask" was delivered with an unusually consistent inflection and verbal punctuation -- the entertaining story depicts a novel solution to the talk's central problem with the kind of conversational appeal seen in other talks. I understand reacting to the first few minutes, but the totality of observable evidence does not support the blanket statement that this talk is "pretty bad." The second half of this talk not only makes up for the first but does so because it delivers the goods: novel content and conversational presentation.

[@manoj35871]

amazing..short..content literally will work..no words for your simplicity....I m mum
