TEDxMIA - Brad Meltzer - How To Write Your Own Obituary

[@robmcchargue]

I met Brad when I was twelve (that's twelve years ago), told him I wanted to be a writer. He gave me his email address and has been mentoring me ever since. I owe a lot to Brad Meltzer. He's not just a dedicated author and a smart guy, he's a fine human being.

Kudos for the Video clip! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Schallingora Publicity Extracting Scheme (do a google search)? It is an awesome exclusive product for learniing amazing eulogy speeches minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend Sam finally got excellent success with it.

Winner of a video, I have been researching "who usually does the eulogy at a funeral?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Yanaleb Fenllie Takeover - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my co-worker got amazing results with it.

NOW THIS IS A TED TALK!!! One of the best Ted Talks I've ever had the pleasure to watch! Thank you Mr. Meltzer!

[@jessiebrandon2181]

I am in tears. blessed to have heard this today. Live Out Loud!

[@jamesdwilliams2605]

This was a brilliant TED talk. Live your greatest life and let your obituary write itself!

[@jimsinclair2862]

For several years now, as I have grown older, I have read the obits regularly, wondering what mine will say. I have even researched writing my own, but after seeing this talk I have decided to quit worrying about it. Just live your life the best that you can and that's what you'll be remembered for. That's what I think I have done, and know that I will continue to do.

Without Brad Meltzer’s info on ‘27,’ i could not have been helpful to others in my own life. Brad, THANK YOU, Most Sincerely, for your truthfulness. It helped me SO MUCH.💜✨💫

[@sambwete1647]

Brad, you have my standing ovation. You have taken my mind on quite the journey. You have given words to a concept that has been a campus in my life. You can be sure I will make reference to your words for decades on. Brad, you have my standing ovation.

This is fantastic. Should have way more views.

This was a Stephen Covey lecture that I attended as part of an executive workshop 23 years ago, and it's also in his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Many people have copied it since. Begin with the ending in mind was the title. You were instructed to visualize your own funeral and want people said about you, and then write your own obituary. The subject was creating your legacy.

[@reneebatchelder2748]

Very moving. I enjoyed his commentary and learned some value and not only being thankful, but showing it.

[@PriscillaGwilt]

Wonderful Brad. I just love you!!! My favorite author, and a person to emulate.

[@llamaplayz8615]

One of the best TED talks I've seen. Very well done, thank you

[@VictorAntonioLive]

Have you ever asked yourself, 'Why are we (society) so obsessed about our legacy? About who will remember us?' Millions if not Billions have come before us and will come after us...and 99.99% have been forgotten. Focus on living, not on what you'll be remember for. p.s., GREAT TALK by Brad!!!!

Excellent Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Schallingora Publicity Extracting Scheme (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good one of a kind guide for learniing amazing eulogy speeches without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my close friend Aubrey after many years got cool success with it.

Another phenomenal talk. Be it Decoded, TEDx or a talk in person he has a way with words that just works. His books are one of my favorites. Keep it up!

Facts .its how you live so live fully and Mightyly

[@UnderTheBigOak]

Powerful Powerful Brad.

[@shaniquejoe5108]

This video definitely made me think... I don't want an obit I want those who knew me to only remember the me they knew not what some family or friend decides to write. Who I am to them isn't who I would be to each person listening/reading that obit

[@lsilvertongue]
