I really like him; he's just so genuine and inspiring. To me, he's like a mentor. Whenever I'm faced with choices, I find myself wondering, "What would he do?" I can't get enough of his videos; it's like I'm trying to soak up his vibe, learn to think like him, see things his way. We definitely need more people like him around.

[@durhamultimatefitness1860]

I've literally never liked or commented on a video on KZbin before. This talk moved me and gave me steps that I need in my life right now to get myself back on track. Thank you Chatri.

[@DonutLukeXP]

Incredible that this talk was done 6 years ago... now he is the CE of the biggest Mixed Martial Arts organization in all of Asia "One Fighting Championship"

[@phoenixstone5709]

I love that there is so much passion in the way that he talks its like, this is your fate and you choose what you want for the future. I've lived broken for years and I would love to be the warrior that I should be and take more risks. this inspires me and makes the word failure less important to my vocabulary.

[@treroney4720]

phoenix stone I'm praying that u will

[@manjunath7497]

🤩🤩🤩same here...lived my life with fear, atleast from now on his way of looking into life I will practice.

[@Yodsanchai]

I’ve done Muay Thai for 19 years and everything he said is true. It changes. Your character. When women do Muay Thai they change the most, even if they never fight but just train. Please go and try it, I know you will benefit.

[@KSanford33]

That's an excellent talk. I think everything he says is true for all sports as well. That's the lesson: Be athletes people!

[@benjaminchin9912]

Great speaker with real wisdom. This guy is a fearless warrior.

[@armbarSG]

I rarely get blown away, but this one did the trick. Amazing speech with a great message.

[@Cooperman666ROFL]

Well, The only thing missing is to carry the coconut with you. No matter what career you seek, you should always have an alternative. Doing something that pays averagely is better than failing and doing nothing at all. So go for your dreams, but you need a good plan...and a plan B for use only ''if all else fails''. Because the risks are worth it, but they are still risks, so there is always a chance to fail. But also a chance to win everything. Great talk.

[@mugzy07]

Chatri has become even more successful after this. I applied for a job at Evolve MMA and ONE FC

[@ernestovicencio6103]

Love this guy. Hope he still hangs around pattaya.

[@k1max4life]

I am inspired now. It is one of the best speeches ever on TED!

[@elmocorey3999]

this thoughts are so inspirational, I kinda is going trough a rough patch in ma life & this really made me stand up, thanks mate.

[@iVuDang]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="728">12:08</a> - when you have adversity, love will pull you over it. It will propel you to do great things. Think for a moment of an activity you hate doing. You hate it. Now do it 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, for the next 15-20 years of your life. I guarantee most people will not be able to do it. When a minute of hard time comes up, you'll quit. Because you hate it, it's natural. That's the opposite logic of love. Love will call to you. It will speak to your heart. And it will help you achieve success.

[@lilychistefer8996]

thanks for letting us know about this..

[@jhphotomum]

He is very smart guy thank you and your right life is fight or be a donkey , choice make us who we are !

[@maxorank2737]

Evolve is definitely an amazing business story. Thanks for sharing

[@lyny389]

Great advice! Thank you Mr.Chatri

[@s9dsd]

One of the best TED videos. Absoulutely inspirating. A very good, motivating presentation.

[@kevinsnyder1390]

Cellular Biologist Bruce Lipton explained this to me.. Any organism cannot grow while it is in a constant state of fear. This talk is biologically and scientifically true, and really makes me want to learn martial arts, because I am such a harsh self critic, and constantly fearing failure. This talk really resonated with me.

[@user-vr7sr3zc4u]

ิมาเมืองไทยสิ❤❤❤❤

[@johnsonpendleton3533]

[@kayliorgan9332]

good one, it is completely an explosive.

[@daileysaamanth9333]

I've just now visited your site.You're really awesome.

[@BATCB]

Good for him for getting up there and doing it, even if the delivery was choppy and the info was... basic. His point is valid and well taken. Martial Arts does require the desire for continual self improvement, but you have to conjure that in yourself. Martial Arts can only strengthen the desire, not create it. I personally couldn't finish the video due to distracting pauses and lack of flow of the presentation. I'm sure if he keeps practicing and perhaps adds some science re: Martial Arts and mental/psychological effects it could be compelling.

[@maxiwand1936]

if everybody were to learn martial art, there would still be bullies just at a superseyan level(-: good talk tough

[@satishkallianpur4702]

Inspiring talk

[@xiongbenjamin]

Lol! Agree! Martial arts will not prevent bullying. Only amplifying the problem.

[@Ccm2019]

Lol no. Martial Arts number 1 lesson is to stay humble.
