[@ard8029]

Most humans naturally pick up social cues. The silence is uncomfortable because we can tell that Maisie expects that her audience will find what she's saying funny. When they don't respond, we empathize with her and we feel the awkwardness we think she may have felt based on how awkward we would feel for ourselves. That said, that doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with people who don't pick up on that. You, for example, were focused on the actual contents of her speech. And that's totally ok

Crowd audio typically isn’t captured accurately in TED talks. At certain points, you can hear laughter, but hearing the crowd without audio mics depends on a lot of different variables. Seems the focus is on the speaker, which I can appreciate. It’s awful when the crowd is louder than the speaker

[@thunderdrake13]

I admire Maises bravery to speak on stage but honestly her speech did kinda felt flat. I think part of the problem was that she was too young so there wasn't really much experience to touch on and there was really no thematic message.

@Cillit Bang You think she's a multi-millionaire? You might want to get in touch with reality, they'd like a word with you. ;-) Yes, she got a lucky break, as do many others, but the point is if you do go for those initial chances and opportunities then you are never going to get the chance of a lucky break. You have to take the first step, not wait for it to drop in your lap. Having that break is only the start, talent is what has kept her there. It's also easy to bang on about it when you're bitter about not getting a break.

[@Killinemkid]

@@lwaves You know how much those actors get paid?

[@lwaves]

@@Killinemkid Do you? The answer is no, seeing as their wages have never been stated. Also, just because they get paid what seems to be a lot, they also have to pay out for agents, management, publicists and all the other people attached to doing that job, never mind all the other costs associated with that life. It's likely that she's been paid enough to make it into a multi-million figure in total earnings but once you cater for costs she isn't worth multi-millions, therefore she isn't a multi-millionaire.

😂 this is underrated

[@justwinchan3409]

she was so confident and eloquent on the stage when she spoke before the audience. I wish I could be like that as she did. I loved her speech, inspiring and convincing. 😘😘😘

[@perfectmirage]

The last four minutes really moved me because you can feel that what she achieved with that app makes her proud.

[@adammcardle]

I saw this live and it taught me that all you need is an idea. And a big pot of money from your Emmy-nominated acting career. And a friend with a big pot of money from years of successful business ventures. With just those three things, you too can set up a company, get offices in Shoreditch, employ some staff and release an app.

[@ThereseH2O]

This is what I gathered from it too.

[@D.Ronoa69]

The mic did not pick up the Audience voice or laughter. Don't worry about them being white walkers.

[@hamzaabid7432]

It picked up sometimes though? It just sounds like sometimes they laugh and mostly they dont.

[@mashx8080]

refuse to hold yourself back and dare to dream big. damn that hit me, as someone graduating from university in a month and struggling with figuring out my next steps and scared to take risks

Maisie and her team created "Daisy" an app developed to connect people that are experiencing acts of violence or abuse, Maisie... Hats off to you my dear. well done!

[@johnmichaelpajanel6348]

For a non native English speaker like me, I found her so full of sense of humor and I couldn’t count how many times I laughed at her jokes.

[@outofbox9084]

Me too!

The audience was so awful! My goodness sake! She's just a wonderful speaker. It's just the audience, very dull! I love Maisie!

Wow I first loved you as Arya, and loving you more now for who you truly are. I am blessed by your story Maisie. Glory to God! God bless you and your family more.

[@godherself5148]

I didn't plan on watching this long, but her story was somewhat captivating. Well done Maisie!

[@topYTenjoyer]

Not a talk we deserved but a talk we needed. Thank you very much!!

[@rajeshwipradhan6929]

I can't believe that it was whooping 16 minutes talk. Man!! Her speech was totally captivating.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Do not strive for money. Strive for service and experiences. You will never have to worry about money.

She is really fantastic lady and her speech is amazing. God bless you dear.

[@eggsynchan2427]

I was mesmerized during the speech and it's incredibly beautiful. Enjoyed the whole video.. Very soothing!

[@Rachel-wl3cq]

This made me admire her even more. She gives great advice, and is so down to earth. We need more famous people like her.

[@PeachPlastic]

11:30 I wish she had elaborated on this point more. - So many students build up massive debt attending art school and are left with zero clues as to how to transition into careers. Formal academic education in the arts really needs revision, I think.

[@miahardt3296]

EXACTLY

[@tsvetychitova1648]

That was a great TED talk, for Maisie is an oustanding and inspiring person! It was sad, that the crowd didn't react to her jokes, the way they should have. Respect to what she accomplished on this early stage of her life! :)

[@marwarabea3419]

Very inspiring talk specially when she said "Don't hold yourself back!" ❤️❤️❤️

[@jnmaniac1393]

I'm confused I thought Syrio Forel was her dancing master.

[@696190]

the dance metaphor has just been blown wide open in my mind...

[@Guapogiboy]

Omg I died.

[@MattanzaMafiaFedora]

Maisie has been my favourite actress since I first watched the series and Arya's my favourite character in GoT, and this Ted Talk only made me love her even more. Such an inspiration!

[@HollyJane83]

Yes, same here!😍😍😍

[@SithCelia]

And Arya Stark takes the Iron Throne! Of all the big names on that show, it was one of the youngest and brightest cast members without any previous credits to her name to get up onstage for this kind of talk. She's a breath of fresh air for any of us creative types who struggle to find our way and often lose sight of how it's not the destination that matters as much as the journey to get there. I can't wait to see how her career as a creative human being unfolds. Valar dohaeris!

[@isapink3204]

the kind of talk some celebrities in my country should be listening to

Seriously the last 3 minutes moved me and made me tear up. Well done.

[@EniThingIWant]

Such a beautiful eloquently delivered talk

[@chintandoshi2291]

"I have never had an end goal and its working out so far" I hope I can say this, convincingly, to my interviewer someday

[@axelsharpshire6457]

11:47 Actors are not only as good as their writers. You've proven that Maisie in Season 8 of GoT. You're much much better. Just like the Grips, Costume Designers, CGI Artist.... etc....etc....etc...

[@ppeterzhong]

Driven by curiosity, interests, love, and strive to do good/useful things for yourself/others/humanity. You will be more successful, peaceful with yourself, and happier.

[@valardohaeris333]

That's the best comment I have seen in a longwhile, Peter

[@wirehanga3966]

Title’s a little misleading, enjoyed the talk nonetheless.

[@Chillton]

Those titles tend to be misleading all the time

[@ninabielawski1277]

Yeah wish she touched more on talent vs. fame for a bit more than two sentences! That would've been an interesting talk from her perspective.

[@SyraThePoet]

This resonated deeply and I’ve literally been looking for an exact app like this. Thank You Maisie. Thank you.
