Unleashing the drive within: the obsession advantage | Emilio Justo | TEDxWesternU

Dr. Emilio Justo, MD, explains the importance of harnessing obsession. He argues that obsession is a powerful force that should be leveraged for success. Dr. Justo emigrated to the United States with his parents at age 3, escaping Communist Cuba and searching for freedom and opportunities. 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 CO2 laser blepharoplasty, having performed nearly 50,000 such procedures. He was able to make delicious lemonade from the sour lemons he was dealt with and is passionate about inspiring others to fulfill their dreams and achieve their goals, hence making society as a
whole more productive and harmonious. 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

I used to always view my own obsessive tendencies as a weakness, but now I am starting to realize that it has been and should be used to my advantage. A person's willpower should be like water- fluid, unrelenting, able to cross all terrain and get exactly where it needs to be.
