Well, the one thing he left out is you have to always be doing something. A whole lot of people are obsessed with finding the job they want to do, and there for ignore anything they don't want to do. So you end up a dreamer, rather than a doer.

This is very unrealistic video because usually it is completely impossible to chose job you like because it requires insane investments like finishing university, obtaining certificates and licenses, and only hem you can actually start trying to do it and see if you like it.
Life is not as simple nowdays
imagine if you want to become a dentist even before you will be allowed to take dentist drill in you hand you will have to spend 10 years to obtain diploma and license, and spend like half million or more.

I hear people saying you wont necessarily be successful even if you follow these '8 traits'. But success is relative, no one said you will be the next Bill Gates and you dont need to be!
Success can simply be that you are happy now when you were unhappy before. And you cannot prioritise anything above happiness and contentment with life.

Why cant people understand that these vids were edited especially for TED ed? Its not really meant to be as a TED speech. That is why at the end there's TED ed... Its meant to be flipped by educators and shown in the classroom, making the graphics enticing is very usable in class lectures. And there is value in way he has been saying... There are way too many cynics and pessimists in this world.

The graphics on this video were a little distracting.

[tranngocyen]

It's not easy to find out the right passion, but I think I will try. If I can not do it I can not get the success in my life, it's so sad.

Could it not be that they are passionate about what they do BECAUSE they are successful and rich?

STOP WITH THE CANNED LAUGHTER! It's ruining such a great message!

I was in very much depression last couple of days. Trying to improve myself. After watching this video I have been searching for my passion but still I didn't find it. But I got the answer about my depression.
