The only talent is discipline | Armando Anto | TEDxGreenhouse Road

In our society we often value talent over discipline. So many people have big dreams but they feel like they can never get to their goals. Armando Anto is a Classical violinist, speaker and standup comedian, discipline is the only talent that he knows. In his speech he will show you how you can grow the incredible talent of discipline Armando Anto was born and raised in France. He began studying classical violin at the French National Conservatory at the age of 5. Armando believes that in order to be successful, you have to surround yourself with successful people. This explains all the mirrors in his home. He understood that laughing opens the heart and mind, and that people understand any concept better through humor. Following his twin muses, music and comedy, he has established himself as a standup comedian in Los Angeles. His first comedy special “Maestro of Comedy” is now out on the Dry Bar KZbin channel. For the last 10 years, Armando has been perfecting his unique style of comedy, utilizing his decades of classical violin mastery, his guitar skills, and even breakdance in his act. Discovered in Hollywood, he won first place in his very first stand up comedy competition. He now performs all over the US in various comedy clubs, colleges, competitions and theaters. 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

[@DrZeroShow]

Just watched this TED talk and have mixed feelings. The limited audience size was a real letdown, making the event feel a bit subdued. As a comedian, I know it is vital! But wow, Armando, the comedian presenter, was absolutely brilliant! His sharp wit and hilarious insights kept us entertained and engaged the whole time. TED definitely needs to work on attracting bigger crowds because otherwise, this is unfair to the presenter, but they nailed it with Armando. Can't wait to see more of his work!

[@ArmandoAntoComedy]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch it ❤

[@groopchat]

[@ArmandoAntoComedy]

Couldn’t agree more ❤

[@ArmandoAntoComedy]

Hard work beats talent when talent didn't work hard enough.

[@FabriceBerjot]

Excellent talk ! Discipline is essential to many things, and Armando has plenty of it !

[@ArmandoAntoComedy]

Thank you so much. Agree 100%

[@scotnery]

Dude! Beautiful and funny! Thank you! This is why I've invited you to share the stage so many times. You are such a consistent and passionate performer. It's obvious that you passion pushes you, but doesn't control you. Very clearly turning creativity into blue-collar work. That’s a message everyone needs to hear. Synergistically, I’m listening to Seth Godin’s book the Practice - which is about the same thing Your success is obviously a result of your discipline and consistency. I think your message is really important because people feel they’re not imaginative enough to create, so they don’t start. Other people think that being imaginative is enough. Or people believe there’s some magic doorway to being an artist. The most prolific of us just shows up and learns and delivers and learns and delivers. I think your TEDx talk will help more people deliver good work. Thank you for your generosity and for making the world a better place! All the love to your fam

[@ArmandoAntoComedy]

Thank you my man, Your message makes my day and I agree 100% with you! We miss you and your show!

Great talk Armando! I learned piano using the Suzuki method growing up and also "hated" it at times, but then I started winning competitions and my fingers still somehow "know" those songs to this day! Try and try again is the key to achieving anything in life - thanks for reminding me of that!

Thank you Jason. 😅

[@dickiedelaine]

What I love about Armondo is his character of arrogance and narcissism incarnate. Many comedians are self-depreciating and that has its place ; but it’s nice to have its opposite! That’s America baby! Ying and Yang;)

[@ArmandoAntoComedy]

Haha well said thx 😅

[@olfilrussi]

Agreed. Anything is achievable if you put your mind to it. Just need to get over being lazy 😆

[@ArmandoAntoComedy]
