About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Having a brilliant idea is only the start. The next thing is to have the passion and commitment to follow that idea through when everyone tells you you're wrong, and being resilient enough to keep pushing through countless rejections until you finally get a breakthrough. Many examples of successful people in history had this experience.

True, but it’s also about knowing when to give up on an ideas. Entrepreneurs can hold on too long to ideas and lose a lot of money in the process on something that was never valuable. A good entrepreneur knows when to pursue, continue, and to discard a business idea.

The majority of this comment section entirely missed the point of the video. The majority is always wrong in the sense that the majority isn’t ever extraordinary. If the practice is done by the majority then it won’t be successful it will yield average results. If the question is how can I make a successful business, following what everyone else does won’t get you there. The majority can never be successful only average. Yes he basically said think outside of the box but he explained how, something you rarely hear. He explained that you have to recognize your boundaries and think of ideas that exist outside of them. Honestly it was very inspiring and great advice.

It's staggering how many people here totally missed the main points, but I guess that also proves that the majority are most inclined to do what they consider normal, and thus never exceed the average box. The people who moved the world never did like everyone else were doing at their time. A collective mind is only good at doing what they already know works, but a mind that stands outside of what is currently being practiced, is the one mind that has the capability to innovate and change our perception of what we do and how we live. Every majority factor is based on safe options and predictability and consistency, which in the end results in a status quo situation that just keeps itself running, nothing more and nothing less.

Nice talk thank you! 8 years later and KZbin build an even more complex box for me to live in. 8 years ago there was a man telling me about a box we live in. If I could tell a 2D person in this box to step over a line he or she could jump out of the box and explore the good stuff. Unfortunately, boxes are carefully created by industry and government today. Im living in different boxes with different purposes. It’s hard to be really free in thinking these days but it is still possible. Learn kids about integrity and give them the tools to always think for themselves first and then take the boundaries into account, sometimes break the rules of the boundaries and swallow the consequenties. But only break the rules if you can handle/win and survive the consequences.

Taxi business. How to expand your taxi business in London ensues a lot of thinking. Finding the solution removes the requirement for thinking. to get to the 3% you need to stop ignoring the lack of solutions and simply enduring to the next day. Work your head at finding the right questions for you and your business and then solve them. It is really quite simple in principle. on the other hand I my self believe that the "best 3%" is just a choice of words targeted at a specific audience of overachievers. You don't need to be the best, or even near the "top" to have enough ^^. especially since defining the top is so elusive.

@@bylyone23 Blue ocean is a great term to know, but it’s a boundary within itself. You can’t be “too blue ocean” or even the best invention or breakthrough can fail. This mainly applies to new technology or products. For example, making a flying car not look like a “ground car” would vastly reduce the chances for adoption by people. As an inventor myself, this is really frustrating when you HAVE TO worsen a design or idea so that it is less intimidating at the cost of functionality or cost.

However, you must be able to change your values (at least review it on a regular basis). You must work hard on yourself and be creative to think without barriers.

the thing is, we think being different is good. but there are MILLIONS of companies who did it differently, trying to innovate the market and failed. but because they weren't successful, their company was never known. and THAT is the true majority, this is the basic idea of something called "survivor bias" which is a bias towards the numbers that get counted and not the whole set. basically, you could have a thousand different companies with new innovation before only one is successful.

Exactly. I think that it is the part that is quite left aside in his presentation. At the end when he is saying ''As of today that choice is completely yours'', it is only halfway through, if less. Yes, anyone can innovate and think outside the box if they set their mind to, but not everyone will be successful doing it, only 3%. The survivor bias is a fantastic explanation here. Official patent sites are filled with innovative ideas that never made it to market. Although a lot of successful people won't dare say it, a great part of the success is actually based on luck.

@Maxwell Severins First, innovation inherenerently based on change, and that's what i meant. Second, Survivor bias plays a big role here. I bet there are plenty of people who live and breathe their buisiness, but didn't have any sucess due to simple misfortune. And do you wanna know why you haven't heard of these people? It's because they WEREN'T sucessful in working hard, so they never earned enough to become someone "big" and their voices were never heard. The worst thing about suvivor bias is that it's the suvivors who get to make the rules. In this case, suvivors are people who have the power and influence to speak and be heard.

That's because the key ingredient to success from a start up perspective is timing. If you have the best technology, product or service and it's the either too new, ahead of it's time, or the same or too similar to well estsablished, known existing competitiors. It's not funding, it's not proven management..... It's timing.

@@Macatho you hit the nail on the head. This is Ted X talk designed for tech bro managers. "Nobody is thinking but me, everybody is lazy but me, if they tell me it can't be done they are just not visionary like me..." mindset. Sometimes there is a reason WHY things are done certain way and that reason is (again, sometimes) because a lot of very smart people spent a long time designing the procedure to do it that way. Sometimes the shortcut is not the safest way, is what I'm trying to say. Yeah, you could do it that way, but if you do it that way, 99% of the time everything will be fine but 1% will lead to catastrophic failure and people might even die because you did it slightly unsafer but slightly faster and "more efficient" way. So your faster and slightly unsafer way was made illegal because of that 1% of catastrophic failures. That's just one part of what's wrong with the talk.

The talk begins with an anecdote about Einstein to drive home the point that "Questions remain the same , but their answers change over time". In any activity an average performer seeks to emulate the efforts done by people before him. But people forget that ordinary efforts will only get them ordinary results. An average performer when faced with adversity will either do more or less of what he was already doing whereas a high achiever will try to seek out a different approach. In doing so the person rises above the rigidity of their self and have the possibility to become a better self.

Well, the motivation is that if we provide a good or service in exchange for value, and we rely on that value to live, but someone else innovates first, they outcompete us and we lose our source of livelihood. So society tells you must always keep innovating. Where I personally think this perspective goes wrong is in the way we see innovation as the end goal. It's not a goal, it's a means. If we can improve a process we're already successful at, then we free up more time and resources to do other things - things that we actually want to spend our time and resources on.

In this country we throw anything and everything away that's old, becuase we have no use for them because it's NOT "new and innovative" despite the fact that they WORKED and wasn't wasteful or foolish...That's the problem with living in a CONSUMERIST society, everything has to rapidly and carelessly produced for the sake of mass consumption.

I thought so as well, I thought: "actually I'd like to to some traditional stuff". It's not about being innovative but doing something of quality that you enjoy. Take the axe company Gränsfors Bruk, they specialize in making axes, traditional axes, no plastics, just iron and wood for different specialized uses, it's not "innovative" it's traditional and it's not "EXPANSIVE" and "GROUND BREAKING" it's just good craftsmanship and love of the craft - that's whats important, seems more like a motivational speech for get rich fast Silicon Valley types.

But I'm finding it's taking a long time and lots of my own money to reach that place, so one of the sub-challenges is not to give up hope.
