TED speech giving

So I’m here to talk to you today, about five ways how not to follow your dreams. One: Believe in overnight success. You know the story, right? The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money. You know the story may seem real, but I bet it’s incomplete. If you go investigate further, the guy has done 30 apps before, and he has done a master’s on the topic a Ph.D. He has been working on the topic for 20 years. This is really interesting, I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success. I come from a humble family, and two weeks before the deadline to apply to MIT, I started the application process. And, voila! I got in. People may think it’s an overnight success, but that only worked because for the 17 years prior to that, I took life and education seriously. Your overnight success story is always a result of everything you’ve done in your life through that moment. Two: Believe someone else has the answers for you. Constantly people want to help out, right? All sort of people: your family, your friends, your business partners. They all have opinions on which path you should take: “And let me tell you, go through this pipe.” But whenever you go inside, there are other ways you have to pick as well. And you need to make those decisions yourself. No one else has the perfect answers for your life. And you need to picking those decisions, right? The pipes are infinite and you’re going to bump your head, and it’s a part of the process. Three it’s very subtle but very important: Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed. So your life is going great, you have out together a great team, and you have growing revenue, and everything is set --- time to settle.
