It's not About Perfection. It's About Hard Work. | Marius Bizau | TEDxLUISS

Marius Bizau is a Romanian actor. He was born in Cluj-Napoca, Romania in a very difficult historical period. He then moved to Rome when he was only 15. The first years in Italy haven’t been easy for him: he was an outcast and no able to integrate in the Italian society. When he finished school, he started to think about studying theatre and becoming a professional actor.
As he says at the beginning of his Talk, he will share his "story about struggle, hard work, passion, failure, hard work, achievement, hard work and humanity.” He was born in Cluj-Napoca (Romania) in 1983 and grew up in Timisoara (West - on the border between Hungary and Serbia). He lived under the last and most critical period of Nicolae Ceausescu dictatorship, that ended in a revolution started in Mariu’s hometown in 1989. He moved to Rome with his family at age 15. In the beginning, as he just arrived in Italy, he lived a “traumatic and alienating” time, as he himself described it, which fell in 2 years of mutism. In 2008 he graduated from the Accademia Nazionale D’Arte Drammatica Silvio D’Amico. He started his acting career staging classical scripts, such as Hamlet (directed by Armando Pugliese) and Othello (directed by Roberto Guicciardini). Afterwards he collaborated with artists like Cinzia TH Torrini, Francesca Archibugi, Luca Barbareschi, Giancarlo Giannini, Ricky Tognazzi, Paul Haggis and Christopher Lambert. Currently he is working both in Italy and abroad, collaborating with the National Theater of London. 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

Work hard maybe, but can never undo bad (bad I mean catastrophic events in your life). Sometimes better to just quit and realize your life has been screwed up and no matter what you do it will continue to feel that way. How actor Bruce Nolan Felt after many years of success. And it's how I feel. Sry just not feeling it. What if I knew secret. A secret about a thing that occured in past. But there was no way to communicate that secret and the nature of trauma remained hidden all this time. And that when I went through traumatic event, it changed me. Completely. Inside and out. Not just changed me but changed me completely/Entirely. To the point I even forgot that such a thing occured and I'm sitting here wallowing in this mess. Unable to explain. Not just to other people but to myself, to make sense of thing that can't be made sense of. But now I feel like selfish so and so too for feeling this way. At the time of loss I cried. But the tears meant something to me, a thing that no-one else on outside understand. Because I knew when trauma occured no-one would ever understand ever again because trauma disposed of All-Evidence/Self-Sealing. Only I GOT the significance. But now it's just feeling self trapped in this cycle forever, and working way up but falling down constantly. How it feels? I know how it feels. It feels like I'm walking around. But there's a glimmer of ghost inside/within. But it's in corner of the eye completely away from sight. Like the ONE door I opened in eternity of what was possible. Was the wrong door. And I would pay the ultimate price for that. Wrong/rare door opening. Been all this time. And still words I use to explain this event don't come close to describe how I feel. It's an unexplainable-mongering/centric nightmare (not even therapists have detected it). How profound it feels to be.

He finally says what his point is in the last 20 seconds

[@artenman]

Oh my god I thought this was about hard work not about an escape. Next!

[@ritakumari5852]

I bet only few can understand such an intelligent talk ...I'm one of them

[@mariastefanache]

That was really impressive talk. I really emphasized with him as I can say it was a real fact in Romania those days. I’m a Romanian too but few years older than him. He had an incredible life journey with hard work and a lot of passion. I’m proud he is an appreciated stage and movie actor in Italy, UK as well as in US. He can perfectly speaks Italian and English languages besides his native Romanian. Wish to hear more of his talks. 💚

[@unzahid]

uplifting.

[@Fapple]

I respect his story more than the structure and goal of his speech. As someone who studied writing and speeches I would have liked to hear more about the transformation from being shy to working hard to become an actor and giving a TED talk. Expand more on what was the thought processes or events that further catalyzed a change? What is the relationship between hard work and becoming an actor? More on why was acting so important to you?

[@inbetweenthelines7686]

[@ZonunMawia]

I had high hope listening to your talk, thinking that you would tell us how to work hard and how to discipline yourself but you touched that subject very little. A bit disappointed but thank you, anyway.

[@thebrianman]

I know right, the title is too way off

[@rightlibertarian8355]

It's not about hard work, it's about perfection. Because no one gives a F about how hard you worked.

[@asmasayyed3503]

Well yes. Even if you work hard and don't see results, that's your bad. But the only thing thay ever leads to said results IS hardwork itself. But as you said, 10/10 hardwork with 3/10 result is something no-one would like or respect.

[@asifanowarsarkar5922]

Only comments 13,,it's bad

[@razvanswanney]

Tipic romanesc, ai vorbit multe da n ai zis nimic
