What Leads To Success?

---------

I have been swamped with work for the past few years that I rarely have time to watch television anymore.

Nevertheless, I don’t really regret missing my favorite TV shows and do you know why?

It’s because the “work” that I’m busy with are actually things that I love doing.

I remember reading somewhere: Find a job that you like and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.

If you know who said that, please tell me so that I could send him a thank you note for being one of the reasons why I’m enjoying my life now.

Anyway, I’m doing my usual web surfing (is this my new television?) when I stumbled upon this very inspirational video about the secrets of successful people. It features Richard St. John, a self-described average guy who found success in doing what he love.

The video below is taken from one of his talks during TED: Technology – Entertainment – Design.

TED is a yearly gathering of the greatest thinkers and doers of our time. TED’s website contains dozens of inspirational and motivational talks so I suggest that you visit it often.

Anyway, to give you a sample of what TED offers, below is the three-minute talk of Richard St. John as he tells his audience the things that lead people to success.

Update: Watch the part 2 of this talk when Richard St. John returns to TED after 4 years to teach us that Success is a Continuous Journey.

More inspirational videos are coming your way when you subscribe to Ready To Be Rich.
