Rethinking failure: Barbara Corcoran at TEDxBarnardCollege

[@Damienahughes]

I failed at something today. I searched "failure" on KZbin and found this. Barb you cut my "feel sorry for myself" time by 90%. thank you

[@missmirusrobinson6913]

Same here man

[@cocolopez7438]

I'm you today. I hope all been doing great for you!

[@fernandaespana8647]

Same

[@zackfix9828]

Me too.

[@rimakalita3560]

Same here!

[@riffmaj7]

It's always inspiring to hear success stories from people who have failed, not once or twice, but many.

[@mackss9468]

I just failed something I had been working towards for five years. Watching this really helped. I feel ready to try again for the sixth year! Thank you!

[@apuloshohe]

I dunno what u r upto but my guts instinct told me that what ever you are upto it's gonna work out at the end . and if incase u sees this comment then i want you to feel at ease and clap for yourself saying “I am grateful and thankful to myself" .. have a good life ahead wherever it may lead to .....

[@InvestWithOlivier]

I've failed more this year than in any other year. It's been hard. I've lost so much but at the same time gained so much and learnt so much about myself. I've been an emotional yo yo. Elated one minute. Rock bottom the next. But it's strangely been the best year of my life just because I have learnt so much..

[@daralillyluchen3722]

Olivier - Life Hack Training can definitely relate to the emotional rollercoaster. 99% of time it makes us stronger and better people.

[@vladimirputin583]

Good luck

[@rnopes21]

Same here sir.

[@yesdraka]

Wow! Yes!

[@josiahamaze]

Same this last year for me

[@girishramteke8789]

Loved the narration of barbara!

[@modernmarvel]

What type of badassery is this?!? This woman is a fucking legend! She's proof that when you fall forward you will always have a cushion underneath waiting for you.

[@danielraypickrel4316]

thanks

[@DazelleSteele]

"...let's hear it for rejection!" Love this speech Barbara. You are a natural storyteller and motivator. Thank you for this speech. It is very insightful and motivational. I needed to hear it. I appreciate you!

[@JousefM]

I actually wanted this talk to go five times longer. Barbara is a damn good speaker!

[@ItsFairyNecessary]

I failed today. I often beat myself up about messing up because I can’t see past it. I love being good at things. I love succeeding. I have this irrational fear of embarrassment. I don’t want to be bad at anything. But I have the slightest bit of optimism that I will overcome.

[@monicaheyden]

Barbara--as a woman entrepreneur who's on her 4th business, you are one of my biggest heroes. Thanks so much for sharing your story.

[@keabonhall2436]

Have you learned that you’re really bad at it yet?

[@logielleEntiopya]

​​​@@keabonhall2436 You do not even know her, it makes no sense to assume that a stranger person cannot be competent at something.

[@brianstacync]

Barbara is awesome!! A real person, no BS.

[@LazyChristy]

What a beautiful speech and what an empathetic woman. I'm at a time where I'm feeling like a failure because I don't have a university education at nearly 25 when all the other people I went to school with are successful working people, and everyone just seems so much better off than me. I have to thank depression and failure too though because without them I don't think I would be as much of a sympathetic person as I am today. Funnily enough failure has also taught me to get up and not give up either so I'm working on my education now. This speech has reminded me that and I will try to keep on that track. Thank you so much for this!

[@ElenaWilkins]

The more I hear this woman speak, the more I respect and love her. Thank you , Barbara!

[@hungrydan]

WOW, I love Barbara even more now. Thx Barbara! I just went through a lot of racial discrimination and flat out persecution in China for teaching jobs simply because I didn't look the part or because I am a Christian. Your email that you sent really inspired me. Keep up what you're doing, Barbara!

[@STARTtoSOLD]

I love Barbra for her vulnerability - beautiful, inspiring and badass.

[@cookedbyjackie]

Rejection and Failure are hard for anyone to swallow and no matter how many times we fail, we must get up again. This is very difficult to do but she just explained that it is the key to success--to fail.

[@ashleylove6840]

Today I failed at something and the quote " Reward efforts more than results" Just made me see everything in a different light. First it inspires me to try harder and if I fail just to get back up and try harder. :) Thank you so much, you made my day and this week. I felt horrible but now I feel like a weight has lifted off my shoulder.

[@bobthorlton5207]

The rejection's sharpened your insights to oppertunity by understanding how the molecules vibrate in our universe. You possess the spirit that binds us all together.

[@VanessaLeevl]

This is exactly what we ALL need to hear.

[@Darsy369]

one of the best ted talks I've seen.

[@mad-cyantist3159]

I love her Humour, she seems like a very fun person to be around.

[@dancingbirds6088]

I really appreciate the honesty about her feelings and her humility to mention she had financial help to start her own business, (compared to other "self-made" people). Makes you feel inspired but human at the same time

[@souvikkundu]

Her message really uplifted me big time. This was desperately needed. Thank you Barbara!

[@Divine-vg7qg]

I failed my forensic psychology TMA and i started off great in the beginning and kept failing all the way through but now i researched you barbara and realised im awesome at failure and thats actually something im good at! Which im ok with, before that i done my acting degree got to my BA honours and then failed my masters but then went onto study this course im currently doing ...if i keep failing im bound to succeed, wherever life may take me... thank you🙏🎉

[@mich1583]

Wow, this is a gem . Too bad I only found this talk now. Gonna saved for a reminder whenever I am too scared to take action.

[@devorahfriedlander9139]

"Let's hear it for rejection!" -my new motto :)

[@YatHSo-ds6no]

Doesn't get any more real than this. She is my idol.

[@vin0143]

Barbara is Iconic.

[@invizibleinfluence]

Failure is the greatest teacher and molder of #greatness. It's a #principle I've come to embrace!

[@josephholdman1037]

Thank You! Barb for being a great realtor.

[@lisawilliams1746]

I love this! I recruit restaurant managers in Mississippi, and this video hits home with me, we fail everyday, but we get back up and go back at it, my word is "Next"... we cannot get bogged down in the No's.

[@geraldinemcdonald5355]

Good for you Barbara. You are a very strong woman.

[@evofit85]

In a dark time at moment....talks such as these are very inspiring. Thanks from a baby shark

[@Bill-lt5qf]

Very optimistic woman. Good on her

[@Alpine-i9h]

I continue to take xanax everyday because I live with depression. I have turned my back on passion. I don’t know why I am writing this here. Barbara you are an inspiration. And I hope at some point I can be passionate again. Thank You.

[@nelsonmartinez2420]

Thanks. I needed to see that!!! I will not allow to feel sorry too long

[@shadowproductions9825]

nelson martinez amen!!! Thank u I needed. To see ur comment and this video too

[@daralillyluchen3722]

The difference between a master and a novice is that: a master has failed more times!!!!!

[@user-zh6gv2mh9l]

When ur heroes become ur rivals u know u made it

[@aldoluvs]

You're an amazing woman Barbara! Thank you!

[@misj604]

Amazing talk Barbara. A lot of people take failure like a ton of brick that it take them so long to recover and pick up the pieces and start again. Very enlightening. Thank you.

[@ericthuku6087]

Great motivation for me this Monday, when I'm feeling like crap. Love it!

[@bludovegville]

I love the lessons she shares. I recently read her biography and it was inspiring. Now when I encounter an obstacle or failure I am reminded of how she failed and came out of it... that every rejection / failure was an opportunity to get back up again.

[@RyanMiller_InChrist]

Great talk Barbara. You are very inspiring.

[@alanwalk9084]

She's incredible, I love Barbara!!!!

[@officiallynotarizedforyou6751]

Such a BRILLIANT person. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, Barbara.

[@jodydougherty7764]

Barbara, I did not read until the 3rd grade as well...May I be a success and mentor like you to those who continue to see themselves as failures vs human.....Many thanks!!!!!

[@Melanie-wy9jd]

Barbara, you're an inspiration!! Thank you for being you.

[@mundanaess-haghabadi8199]

I love this. It's absolutely the truth. There is nothing like what comes off of the heels of failure! It has always opened the world of opportunity for me! Really appreciate this.

[@mmm4638]

just wow when i saw her on shark tank 30secs i knew shes a BOSS! and now it gets better, such an inspiration, failure road to success

[@CLR38]

You are a genius!!!! And yes, a ginormous inspiration as well!!!

[@mdawes101]

Great words from a great woman.

[@Mia-ei4mh]

Wow this is gorgeous 🍀 I failed major academic entrance exams but I'm still standing, proof rejection is redirection.

[@KL4life]

Failure is life's best teacher!

[@michael50664]

The most inspiring video I have ever watched. I admire your honesty. Rejection is something I have had to deal with in abundance as well, thank you for sharing your story.

[@HockeyAdvice]

She has the Best Business Advice of anyone I've seen!

[@bobwilliams9061]

Thank you Barbara. I needed that today.

[@MartinTothSK]

Oh man I love this woman. Keep rocking woman.

[@LovelyVanessa01]

Barbara for president

[@icedcoldkilla]

she'd be out before she even went in.

[@haman7227]

My business closed due to COVID last year, but having “failed” many times in my past, I started an online business and now I have a home-business that is doing better than my previous business. I have always lived with idea that ‘what ever happens, sooner or later it turns out, it was the best that could have happened to us’ Believe in yourself

[@shawnt7289]

She is such a inspiration!!!!! I will come back to this video as often as I can !!!!!

[@nonhlanhlapreciousRadebe]

Thank you Barbara for the inspiring talk. I would like to be an enterpreneur but I dont know if any of my ideas are worth their salt; fear of failure is holding me back; I know that once I get over the fear and just act; that would be the starting point.

[@GaryBryanDobbsSales]

You made me think of my time studying architecture. Many students thought their ideas were the "golden goose" and didn't share it much. Just get out there and try building on your idea precious Radebe because the world may become better because of it.

[@TexasRevving]

"Don't wait. The time will never be just right." -Napoleon Hill

[@nonhlanhlapreciousRadebe]

Indeed

[@armancz]

nonhlanhla precious Radebe The "right time" will never come, never. Don't over analize it, don't try to think it thru, take your ideas and test them out right away. If you fail just say - ''HA! that was stupid!'' and try another idea or tweak the original one and test it out again... until its working. Only instant action can crush the fear of failure, you cant wait it out or convince yourself into doing it, only instant acton.

[@nonhlanhlapreciousRadebe]

you are 100% right armancz; i'm going for it. thanks :D

[@bettyannvillasenor3066]

I'm inspired by your mentioning that getting up from failure and recovering from rejection is what builds success. I watch shark tank on hulu and you are still kind and direct with your communication to entrepreneurs. One day I hope to offer the same gift to those who are where you were, where I am now but not for long.

[@gemimaespinoza6119]

Absolutely love her. What a strong woman ❤️

[@jennyhollinger5592]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@DogoArgentinoUSA]

A beautiful talk which helped me through the raw pain of utter failure!

[@taxwme]

Nice talk, to comment on the last note you can expect rejection but dont ever accept it

[@cowboybebop4099]

Sued donald trump and won. What a legend

[@Sveltdre]

cowboybebop Sadly enough, she had to sue him to get him to pay up. Not paying people is not a desirable qualitative personality trait.

[@lynettemiller7912]

THAT, right there, is enough to make me love her!

[@azzatamano2826]

Very inspiring, thanks for sharing.

[@santalos5]

Guys this is about Barbara Corcoran. Please google how a man returned to an emptied out home after 2-month hospital stay for COVID. This lady and her team assumed he was going to die so they rented out his apartment and sold all his stuff, and they said its because its a "health hazard" which is a complete BS excuse. They didnt sell his piano but I assure you they tried to sell it on craiglist.

[@mkatherineeagan7007]

I loved this so much and needed it today!

[@trungha2577]

This is an amazing speech! Very inspiring!

[@Lisa_Fernandezhomeandlifestyle]

WOW, The most inspiring thought provoking video I’ve seen!!!

[@oheavenknows]

Barbara you are AWESOME...thank you so much for sharing!

[@AFreelandMarketing]

I love you Barbra! Awesome share!

[@AngelFlores-li7rh]

Thank you for sharing Barbara truly inspirational

[@gr82bloved43]

This years resolution 2021... learning to fail forward 👍😉 This will be a new beginning for me !! Wish me luck ! When things start happening I’ll come back with stories 😊

[@TheNickparsa]

Barbara You are an inspiration I am so glad I have got to know you and approached this video

[@shaadi2561]

Thank you I needed this today

[@fiddah]

“I bounce back higher after rejection by certain people .” الحَمدُ لله

[@justinschiferl213]

I’ve learned a lot from 2020. Especially when making decisions never make hasty decisions. Leaning from your mistakes is important and I have done so. I hope 2021 will be great. To this with covid or stuck in a remote area remember you will be fine just be positive!

[@arielamar950]

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with failure.

[@mudkipfan2420]

Thank you Barbara 👍🏻 You are awe inspiring

[@SuperPao5]

Wow!! Great speech..

[@taeleor_mariee]

Exactly what I needed to watch especially failing a college class this semester (first year student; art student).

[@MaytaneVideos]

I featured your comments in the beginning of a video, should've asked first but really wanted to make the god damn video fast xD It;s like one of the inspirational comments in the intro. Thanks for writing that!

[@taeleor_mariee]

Maytane Winner you're welcome 😊

[@dalmasakumu6119]

Taeleor Marie let me help you with your assignment so that you can pass next time. reach me, [e-mail]

[@millennialaviation]

I failed some classes too, but I’m determined to try again

[@Bmg0321]

I find inspiring that she wrote that e-mail. Next time I am rejected, I will fight back as she did.

[@xyz7678]

This video deserves more views

[@veganchaatparty]

Super super super epic!!! Super thanks!!! Thanks!! Thanks!!! Thanks!!!

[@audiobooks9064]

I'm a confirmed failure. I've failed consistently over 10 years now. I have lost all hope and such motivational speeches have no motivation for me.

[@JR-uh8jm]

Get your act together

[@TheLofiDragon]

Thanks Barbara. 😊 Very encouraging.

[@Trypyyyy]

I love you Barbara! You are my idol!!!

[@lionessk9385]

Her Chinese accent was the best.

[@GaryBryanDobbsSales]

Carrie Chiang taught her well. Barbara is hilarious!

[@AngieWaltersTorus]

Thank you for your talk. I can sure relate to this rejection. I have to get over thinking people stereotype me instantly or if they do I have to focus on my plans.

[@smartc541]

An inspiration and enjoyable to listen to. Reading Shark Tales. Love it.

[@Jakarta123]

People who had done it always have greater weightage to their opinion rather than unknown people who give impressive speech

[@MohamedMohamed-tu6st]

Am inspired by the massage thanks

[@hodazaghloul3974]

You are an inspiration

[@hjahansouz]

Thank you! This was a reality check for me.

[@kims8317]

Inspirational lady. Thank you for this talk.

[@creatorjeks5568]

recently took an L on an investment, watching this is helping me define that L as a dot that will connect to a greater success down the road. Thanks Barbara

[@mafiaps31]

First time I've ever watched a video on failing better

[@liligonzalez8521]

This is just what I need to hear.
