Emilio Justo, MD, unveils the accelerated success code by redefining delayed gratification. Enlightening his audience by sharing the discovery of the untold power of delayed gratification from his perspective as a Cuban refugee’s transformative journey reveals how patience, perseverance, and self-discipline pave the path to extraordinary achievement and unleashed success.
Since 1989, Dr. Emilio Justo has specialized in general ophthalmology and cosmetic surgery. He is renowned for his state-of-the-art refractive cataract surgery and blepharoplasty, having performed over 40,000 such procedures.
Dr. Justo was 1 of 10 out-of-state applicants accepted into the University of Michigan’s prestigious six-year pre-medical/medical program, earning M.D. and B.S. degrees by 23. He began ophthalmology practice in the Phoenix metropolitan area at age 27.
Dr. Justo is a business leader, real estate entrepreneur, public speaker, and avid aficionado of University of Michigan football. He has been married for 20 years with three teenage children. Dr. Justo and his family love traveling the world.
Dr. Justo emigrated to the United States at 3 with his parents, escaping Communist Cuba and searching for freedom and opportunities. Dr. Justo was Valedictorian of his high school and was awarded the Indiana State Good Citizen Award by the Daughters of the American Revolution. 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

Growing up I was taught to question whether something was a want or a need, and if it wasn't a need I was encouraged to wait a day and see if it was still a want. A little thing but it's stuck with me and I think it works really well!

[@azjusto]

I had the same upbringing, and I agree fully with you!

[@DrEmilioJusto]

@@Tracker5111 Go for it, Jessy!

[@miroslavhancinsky6111]

My take home message [6:22 minute mark] "by delaying instant gratification we become masters of our desires rather than slaves to our impulses".

[@azjusto]

I believe this to be true deep in my soul!

[@cedrickdroui]

Delayed gratification has been my mantra for years, and it's remarkable how it's propelled me toward my goals. Patience is key!

[@DrEmilioJusto]

Absolutely! Great to hear how you have benefitted!

[@Cristian-yg4bg]

I’m ready to take on the world after this.

[@DrEmilioJusto]

Go for it! You deserve it!

[@jessiedallen]

I agree with the benefits of delayed gratification, but sometimes you need that immediate reward to pull you out of a dark place

[@DrEmilioJusto]

Understand fully, Jessie!

[@peterdgrubb]

One of my fondest memories was finding my daughter sitting next to the newly planted strawberry bushes. When asked what she was doing she replied "Waiting for the strawberries". Lesson number one in delayed gratification.

[@DrEmilioJusto]

Very cute.......kids are wonderful!

[@emilybird9761]

Reflection on what truly matters is key

[@DrEmilioJusto]

Absolutely!

[@myadanco]

One area I need to master is my food choices. After listening to you I know I can take steps to master my desires in this area, thanks for sharing.

[@AntonneNash]

Delaying gratification and feeling good about doing it is an attribute worth cultivating.

[@WilliamTerry-jn9du]

Investing in yourself is so important

[@VictorxavierMartinezadan]

This talk is a beacon of hope.

[@DrEmilioJusto]

Thank you, Victor!

[@krisjameslin]

Choosing to pursue medicine in my mid-20s was an extremely tough choice I had to make, especially since I was about to leave behind a career in engineering and financial comfort for a path that required hard work, discipline, and frugal choices. Now that I am finishing up medical school, I'm starting to feel the gratification and validation that I had made the right choice. It's very evident to me now the difference of being your own master of desire, rather than giving into convenient impulses when going through rough patches in life

[@DrEmilioJusto]

Congratulations on your journey Kris, and for making the "right" decisions in your life!

[@ShaleighFerguson]

Getting better and better all the time

[@DrEmilioJusto]

Please do NOT give up!

Wow, that chance encounter during your travels is incredible! It's amazing how delayed gratification can shape our lives and even lead to such serendipitous moments.

Such stage presence, take notes aspiring speakers

[@YiannisHeard]

Wonderful delivery from this speaker, well done to all concerned

[@bondji1]

Fascinating talk. The idea that delaying our need for instant gratification will prevent us from being slaves to our impulses is profound. It supports his concept that the achievement of our most important goals depends on our willingness to delay and plan rather than living a life that seeks instant gratification in almost everything we do. This is an important issue that I believe needs to be expressed, especially to our youth. Outstanding talk and topic!

[@EmilioJustoMD]

I greatly appreciate your words of wisdom and support!
