How to find and do work you love | Scott Dinsmore | TEDxGoldenGatePark (2D)

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)

This talk was shot shot and edited in stereoscopic 3D by Golden Gate 3D and Area 5.

"The fastest way to do things you don't think can be done, is to surround yourself with people already doing them."

alrighty then, I'm becoming a hotel bed tester

[Tramikins]

Everyone is trying to get more motivated and achieve their dreams and goals... And then there's me with no dreams or goals 😓

[dcgleason]

RIP Scott. You were truly an inspiration.

This is great info... IF... you don't already have a family to support or you have parents that are financially well off. Sometimes the things we hate doing keep a roof over your head and food on the table.

RIP Scott - Very inspiring fellow.
Here's the summary of his talk "What is the work you CAN'T NOT do?"

[1st step is to become an expert on yourself]
-Analyze your strengths, find out what you naturally enjoy doing.
-Discover your values: What is "Success" for you? Is it being very rich? Very healthy? Having a big family?
[2nd do the impossible]
-Challenge yourself more and more. The more you accomplish, the more you realize you CAN accomplish
[3rd surround yourself with the right people]
-Make friends with people who are positive and doing the things that you wish you could be doing. Your environment is definitely something you can change
-Do you have any negative people in your life? Get rid of them - they're not helping you

These are all things you can control, so figure out what it is you need to do and do it.

I think Scott and his family should be proud that even after his life ended, he is still inspiring others to live their lives and achieve their dreams. Their success is in a small way Scott's success, and I think that is a legacy to be proud of. R.I.P.

[inkajoo]

why do motivational speakers always use their own success story of achieving their dream of becoming a motivational speaker as motivation?

This was the talk I needed to see and hear 20 years ago. I just found it, and to learn this inspiring person is not with us anymore is so sad. Thank you, Scott. May you rest in peace.

I watched this video, at first, thinking about how stupid all this blather was that this guy was spouting. All this motivational bullcrap. Then, I started to read the comments, realized this young man died, while probably pursing to live by the philosophy he believed in. Rest in Peace. May this lesson help me to leave behind my cynicism.

Great use of the Henry David Thoreau quote. "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."

[AbbyGarrettMPF]

Scott died this past weekend while climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro during his extended vacation and world tour with his wife Chelsea (I don't have details yet). I never knew him personally, only through being Facebook friends online. He was truly someone I thought of as invincible--larger than life. Such an inspiring guy and such a beautiful soul. His light will undoubtedly continue to shine on through his legacy and the lives he touched along the way. Please keep his wife in your thoughts and prayers. <3

Share his positive message with all you know, and remember to Live Your Legend.

I just found this TEDxTalk today and I got so pumped! I just knew in my mind that this young man had a book released, so I began to Google it. After a couple of seconds of research, I realized that this man passed away while hiking mountains making his way around the world. I just broke down and cried. What a wonderful soul to give us this short, yet powerful message before ascending. I believe he fulfilled what he was meant to do in this life and that he'll be back.

[sridatta]

A clarity in the middle of chaos. Thank you Scott. Beautiful soul you are.

I was knitting when he said, "I don't care what it is you're into, what passion, what hobby; if you're into knitting you can find someone.."

[TheMrhycannon]

Most people don't have the leisure or funds to follow your advice.. They have to take the available work to feed themselves and families..

My husband is a forklift driver who loves, loves, loves his job at the company he works at. He doesn't get paid as much as he could. He has a 45 minute commute. His co-workers would annoy me, but my husband has a very accepting attitude about peoples' differences & personality quirks. In fact, every day he goes to work so filled with gratitude and joy. His boss and boss's boss appreciate him and let him know this . . . Which I think is part of his love for the job. He has made himself almost indispensable. His joy in his work makes me happy.

[Tyrone-Fields]

Rest In Peace Scott! I know this is years later, but your words will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for the inspiration...and helping me understand my legend.
