In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This principle is the secret why I could work as a programmer without having studied informatics. I started my codes with the last line writing what the program should return. Then asked myself "ok, what would be the one thing the program would need to be able to return the wanted result." Then asked myself "ok, now what would be the one thing that was needed to return that thing that is needed to return the wanted result" ...and so on. I still need to implement this principle consequently to all aspects of my life.

[@silvja8868]

The best Ted Talk ever!!! Thank you very much :)

[@denisetancredi2794]

Absolutely...

[@LeNikky]

Now I know that starting with the end in mind not only increases my ability to see a bigger picture of what I'm capable of doing, but a whole lots of what I'm capable of achieving! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@denisetancredi2794]

I'm seeing the light now

[@sermuns]

@@denisetancredi2794 Are you dying?

[@cherylwang65]

I agree. Especially when playing tennis with my coach. He always said: LAST ball, and it never seemed to end. Thank you for this awesome speech!

[@ministermiltondancyjr.895]

Content and delivery are absolutely superb! Thank you!

[@msandrearobinson]

This could be a life-changing speech. The Hope experiment was astonishing. I've never written my goals and worked backwards the way you suggest, but I feel hopeful that doing so could help me a great deal. Thank you so much!

[@guydumas2105]

What an awesome message. So simple yet challenging. Practical and esoteric at the same time. Sounds like the dreaming lodge ceremony.

[@CleteHanson]

Seriously, great talk, Interesting stats, humorous and good pace. I will definitely be using this for years to come to motivate and guide my athletes.

[@kingmakandal]

I loved your TED talk, thank you

[@mokeeffe500]

That was the best ted talk i ever heard!!

[@cayotelives]

Probably best talk of life and how our minds work. People who write goals make 9 times more than those who didn't. And reviewed every week at their goal in paper.

[@robhingston]

Isaiah hankel had some of the best content videos on self-improvement and they disappeared.. gone completely.. hope everything is well with him

[@monicahill8781]

Brilliant! Thank you so much!

[@denisetancredi2794]

Thanks so much Isaiah

[@matthewhanson7317]

Awesome video, I love the message.

[@SohailShaikh-pi8vg]

7 habits of highly effective teens is must read for all. You will never feel bored while reading. It is a simplified version of Dr Stephen Covey's Book

[@gautamvanani3840]

Simple and practical- gives a bigger picture and allow to plan better so that journey of achievement becomes easy and enjoyable Great content!

[@xxzg0run975]

This speech changed my life.

[@ladybird491]

Damn this guy's life sounds like my old life, accept the picture I was holding was of Brad Pitt and I was in the legal field and senior care. I got so burnt out from just being in the matrix, I just walked in both my jobs, and said goodbye. I was working over 70 hours a week while raising a baby and going through a rough patch in my marriage and burying one loved one after another. I put on 70lbs eating fast food, and had been sitting in my car crying endlessly. I am now doing the complete opposite now, and feel peace growing inside me. It took me a year to recover from being a puppet and start writing my wish list. I am now an expert at creating goal charts and updating them and following them. I updated my goal charts every few days and look at it daily. I am up by 5 am doing what my dream is, and is thankful that NOW money is coming to me in increasing amounts through multiples sources on a continuous bases.

[@garyprice8490]

Great talk!

[@perceptionshare2248]

Great talk! If you want to start with the end in mind, focus on your imagination.

[@hallgrim97]

Let me tell you a story. There ones was a herd of sheep, when 5% of them did something the rest followed. Then one day a sheep gave som pretend insperational speach about the importace of not doing that making irrelevant comparisons to rats and highschool. After this went around eating grass and slowly walking everyday until the end of there lives but they did it without doing it when everyone else did it. And they were so proud of their new different lives calling themselves leaders of their own life and not sheep.

[@joshjohnson5191]

[@phquang1]

[@ladybird491]

I would be the sheep that do what 99% of of the sheep aren't doing. The matrix have countless people doing the same damn thing so that is why so many are unsuccessful.

[@normalizzi1530]

Totally robbed Stephen Covey…Habit 2

[@frankiejo6988]

I think that is what his talk was based on.

[@FromTheBiggining]

... poor rats... after that I couldn't hear anymore.

[@tymarls]

plagiarized stephen covey...lol

[@francieeschenower6687]

AWESOME! Thank you so much... added this to my Favorites!

[@AllanMacNulty]

Glad it’s helping others but not for me, Stephen Covey 7 Habits it’s more my way of thinking. Hope this helps those looking for something close but different to this 😊

[@juebasu3166]

Wonderful speech.

I cut out many negative people. Unclear for years, but presently there are two goals I have mind. I've never applied this path to anything. I think I will apply it to one of my goals and see how far I get. I understand this speech. I can see now....If I set the end...then everything I choose to do will be with that end in mind. The choices I've been making do not really support the end in mind. I see that now. Thank you for your wonderful teaching moment.

[@AlonzoPichardo]

What happened to him .. all his stuff is gone .,youtube / twitter /ig ..all gone ....

[@saurabhrath2441]
