Video: Secrets of success in 8 words

This quirky fast paced presentation is by Richard St. John at a TED event in Feb 2005. It asks the question “What leads to success?” Presenting a number of quotes based on 8 words Richard St. John gives us a great insight into some of the most successful minds of today.

In summary the eight words (elements) that lead to success are;
Passion
“If you do it for love the money comes anyway”

Work
“Nothing comes easily but have fun”

Focus
“Focus yourself on one thing”

Persist
“Persistence is the number one reason for success”

Ideas
“Listen, observe, be curious, ask questions, solve problems, make connections.”

Good
“There’s no magic its practice, practice, practice”

Push
“Push yourself. Physically and mentally”

Serve
“Millionaires serve others something of value”
