Strategic quitting: Paul Rulkens at TEDxMaastricht

[@deathmetal10line]

This guy really is a tremendous speaker.

[@craigg5051]

💯% ... a great speaker

[@chicoamadou8237]

Without a doubt. One of the best talks I've ever listened to, learn alot and laughed my heart out. This is an example I will share in the Art of Storytelling

[@ambassador8524]

He is a true B.S Artist. 💩

[@Prodigious1One]

Giving my work to someone else... that's management! I love that!

[@joec.8716]

This is probably the best talk i have ever seen.This Needs more views!

[@TheStubertos]

This man speaks fantastically well. I can only dream of ever reaching that comedic timing and level of expression in his voice.

[@madaoanimelife2227]

This is one of the best TED talks I have ever seen. Absolutely magnificent. You should also, check his other talk why the majority is wrong.

[@excelsian512]

Yes! It's very interesting. That's first one I listened to.

Brilliant

[@marcograf1133]

Yes, one of the best TED talks! He is a great and brilliant speaker.

[@KingaGorski]

The moments of humour were brilliant. So subtle, but man, they really worked for him. Awesome talk!

[@suhardiali4213]

This talk is magnificent, we could get the substance as well as the humor. Great Paul !

"Failure is never fatal. Success is never final." - Paul Rulkens

[@christinecunningham8371]

I love how his tie is deliberately askew and how he peppers his talk with humor to disarm the audience and waits for them to catch the joke. Clearly he is a force to be reckoned with outside this public speaking "persona."

[@NoahZeus]

Buying his book his communication skills are incredible.

[@goldnutter412]

Ah great to hear, not really books person. "if it works for you it works for you" .. guessing it worked out pretty good ? ;)

[@NoahZeus]

@@goldnutter412 It did, I'm not much of a self help person he has some interesting perspectives but it's nothing new.

[@NoobMaster-or2jf]

Failure is seldom fatal. Success is hardly final.

[@1Phonetip]

This is one of the most enjoyable Ted Talks

[@conrapal5408]

David Goggins to prove this man wrong about focusing only on what we are good at.

[@danf4447]

this guy is a BEAST

[@JohnHittler]

I live this talk, especially the humor. Very well worth a listen!

[@rkalla]

I want to ask you about growing up with your last name so bad but know a Ted talk comment section is probably not the place to do it :)

[@johnhittler5804]

@@rkalla it's even weirder than you might imagine. My parents bought a suburban home under construction when we were little, only to move in and voila! It's a primarily Jewish neighborhood. Great learning, and I would not change a thing.

[@1ireneaustin]

this should be linked to the Clifton Strengths assessment. It will let you know what you are extremely good at.... and what you are NOT. I highly recommend it.

[@sdz4383]

Brilliant speaker - A combination of wit and humour !

[@zeroroguer]

Yes. Great once again. (I'm watching all his videos in a row.)

[@AniishAu]

What an awesome talker! And yet Paul Rulkens has very little on KZbin.

[@theblueguy4203]

Yes😢

[@deefee701]

Possibly he prefers live talks??

[@alexandreclarkfranco]

Great talking. I'm brazilian. I know english a bit, not fluently. I detected that subtitles have some errors. Some I understood the correct. Some errors in subtitles were difficult for me to understand what really he says. I challenge someone to correctly transcribe the entire speech/talk. Greetings From Brazil !!! I hope somebody dare to transcript the entire talk/speech correctly. Good bye!!!

[@Fabzil]

So, focusing on our few strenghs, going through the motion, and giving up the things we hate but we have to do, so that the lizard brain is happy. Amarit' ?

[@lisw1354]

its more about quitting those things you know somoene else can do a better job at, like when you are in a school project and some of your mates enjoy writing and you enjoy making the lay-out/index look nice and sorted. you wil split it up, not doing both things together.

Immortality is to be achieved before death. Do not procastrinate on immortality.

[@louchieamartinez6878]

I think this is funny. :D

[@fyreweed2071]

This was a great talk but was not humourous at all. I don’t understand why the audience kept laughing.

[@rahmaximus8736]

Did you consider that maybe the audience has a good sense of humor but you don't ? Lol
