"90% of you will do what is expected of you as opposed to what you want to do." at 7:13. Very apt
The number is probably 99.
And that’s Fine 😁
Infact GREAT 👏🏻

Every time I am procrastinating, I watch this man's interviews and always get back
I am in the same vain. But, I am really eager to know Why on earth is that happen?
@@user-wx3vr2wr1l lack of strong purpose
@@user-wx3vr2wr1l just work on discipline bro
This is the only 1 hr talk, I watch every time after I fail at something. The wisdom just 2Xs everytime.
Vinod has the accent and the typical bluntness of a smart, successful old Indian Man. Very classy!
So true.

failure does not matter, success does + no one remembers your failures + willingness to fail is what gives ability to succeed + most people are so afraid of failing that they don't even try !! wow !!
A lot of people consistently say they’ll make millions each new year but don’t plan how they’re gonna make it, which investment they’ll put funds in, which skill to acquire. There’s so much opportunity to earn and multiply funds.
I’m currently trying to get into stocks and crypto trading. I have a target of hitting $300,000 annual profit this year and I believe that’s achievable.
@@joerobert1801 Risky investments but good luck buddy.
@@joerobert1801 It is totally achievable if you trade with the right skills, I made my first million through consistent trading in crypto, and that was achieved with the help of my trading coach Dan Raziel, who takes on my trade and ensure I benefit irrespective of how the market turns. There are some stocks in my portfolio as well that has done the numbers.
Stocks and crypto trading are no doubt one of the simplest forms of generating passive income, I bought my first Nft few weeks ag
@@noelstout3056 I’m aware of Dan Raziel, read about his trades.. quite impressive. Are you at all bothered about the risks?
Not yacht but rather the freedom of brutal honesty, applaud
Every time I watch this I realize the importance of speaking the truth/honesty, entering action with boldness, having a belief system/core values/purpose of having a point of view/internal compass, perseverance and conviction. The best slogan I will always remember "Prefer brutal honesty over hypocritical politeness"
I took an action and told someone honestly what I was thinking about, after watching this interview. I sent an email explaining my position, which I was a bit reluctant to accept before. OMG, this guys arrogance of clarity is so attractive. I wish to be as bluntly honest as this guy one day. Respect Vinod Khosla. We Indians take lot of pride when we see you as our role model.
i've seen this view over 10 times, it has taught me a lot about a) crisis management and b) ambition
Surely was a phenomenal speech.
Really great experience listening to him.
It gets like gold from 25:55 and it's about general risk taking and innovation, not just investing.
I don't know who this guy is, but hes saying some really great, insightful, and wonderful stuff, very good interview. If more peoples philosophical frameworks were as developed, and refined as his, the world would be in much better shape.
The first 12 mins or so speaks volumes.
He is old version of obama

“Being polite generally means being dishonest”
This is just bullshit. This statement declares that honesty and politeness are mutually exclusive characteristics.
Hypocritical polite
@@jubayermufid1710 OVERpolite is the word he is looking for. If someone is overly polite and happy to see you, rest assure they're dishonest.
Most of the times 😁
@@True38 exactly. it was very clear he was identifying those guys who always say the nicest things.
My 3rd time going back to this video in my career. I love Vinod’s mentality. Our internal compass is all that matters.
I feel very proud that, i invested 54:44 of my time in watching this video, better than any MBA
*Astounding personality* 🙏
I am honestly thankful for this hour of yours, sir! I mean it.
I really like your talk, straightforward and brutally honest.
He has a very Socratic approach. To quote Socrates, "the only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." Very powerful interview.
Love ur thoughts it's crazy how watching all the greats really changes ur thought process thank u for Ur time
Some real wisdom in this talk
How amazing is the mindset of this Sir.
In other words: follow your heart and your beliefs and don't be afraid to fail.
Great interviews deserve an exclusive spot next to.... everyone's bed. There is always something new to be learnt from RE-listening to this interview. This is epic. I suspect that 10% of you who will not do what is expected of you and you will likely be one of those watching this from TH-cam. Cheers.
Imagine being the person who let Vinod Khosla sleep on their couch. Altered the course of all the lives who got utility or will get utility from all of the companies Vinod Khosla had a hand in.
Thank you Stanford for all these videos.
This video is pure Gold. Thank you Mr. Khosla for sharing your wisdom
Sooooo inspiring ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really enjoyed that, thanks so much Vinod, I totally agree. Great talk, going to look for more of your talks. Take care
Amazing, best one on stanford regarding personal beliefs
One of the best interviews I’ve seen. No messing about here. 🙌
Wow its been 5 years and his wisdom sounds great...👍🧿
It's true that investing and taking calculated risks is important in achieving financial success, but what's more important is the mindset and philosophy behind it. Khosla's emphasis on speaking the truth, having a strong belief system, and being persistent and bold in pursuing one's goals is truly inspiring. His message is universal and applicable not just in the world of finance and business, but in all aspects of life. Let's all take a page from his book and strive to live with integrity, purpose, and perseverance.
Bro, this thing is pure gold. Thanks
Is guy has an amazing attitude
I can not believe that is working perfect. Thanks a lot for sharing.
This was amazing and inspiring at the same time.

Your core values = your belief system which is your compass
His thoughts 💭 are crisp and clear
Amazing man.Very few people have this kind of philosophy in life.Liked the way he lives. Great.Very few people bring change in society.He is one ☝️.
I have fond memories of Steve Mcneal, Vinod Kosla & Eric Schmit. Great Guys.
Love that this gentleman and leader gives his honest opinions without sugarcoating.

Agreed

"House, MD" is very influential.
There are so many possible cause-and-effects, so it's like "Hey, study more, and you'll figure it out."
Brutal honesty needed but not hypocritical politeness .
Gold.
Fabulous interview. Well done.
Wisdom!
Wow, having websites/phone_apps of real-life problems and academic questions

Wow! "Most people increase the probability of success but as a result decrease the consequence of success"
Time stamp??
The related discussion starts from 25:55. Highly recommended to watch from there. The statement comes around 30:40
Also, having time to see what we naturally do as hobbies helps avoid going out and stuff.
Thanks a lot .

He's so happy while telling the story of how he moved out of India 😂

He actually laughed one trillion times in the entire run. It doesn't mean he was demeaning all those things. USA isn't everything there are people living outside of US who lives far happier life than gun drowned country
India is a richly corrupt country of innocently poor people where laws are completely in favor of women and children and get away with it.

So refreshing hearing people directly tell what they think. Woke culture inside of big tech and fake politeness are terrible.
Excellent
Wow ! So great
I read a wonderful novel "Murder mystery of reporter" by Jaiprakash Jha. An interesting book to read.
Literally reminding me of my dad w the persistence thing and my mom w the duty thing. I'm going to combine this video w the one of Lily Singh photoshopping herself into her goals to see them and "manifest" them and make this my motto. #LetsGo #CreateTheWinWin #JustSaying LOVE this video. Thank you. ✌❤
Would have appreciated more sound volume.
Anyways, thanks for sharing.
The Interviewer was very good...did not interrrupt and was very good listener!!!
He died
lovely
4:00 - people are so afraid of failing that they do do the things that would be important to do (Important things are hard)
5:27 - with enough persistence - most things are achievable
5:39 - people take no for an answer too easily
7:10 - how few people actually have a belief system. What do you actually believe in?
I hated how I pushed myself to climb up the stairs in a brand-new building at Texas A&M, and I basically met someone who reminded me of an Asian, pediatric urologist.

Amazing
Problem is that a “belief” is sometimes formulated by being told what to believe in. I’m guessing what Mr. Khosla is referring to is a belief informed by studying, learning, and researching something on your own.
Then that's ok i guess. For example, if you yourself believe that going to army is the best way to lead life, a belief formed due to being told by your parents. Then you live a more or less fulfilled life, because you think you are doing something worthy.
Problem is if you have something at the back of your mind, but never try it and keep feeling discontent.
Most of the best of this talk is in the first 30 to 40 minutes... From then on it gets a bit 'redundant'.
I agree with the core message:
-Have a "beliefs system"... I would rather say a philosophy, a core of values and work ethics.
-Say what you really think instead of what people wants to hear... They might or might not thank you, but say it.
-Take bigger risks.
On the other hand and quoting him:
"If I wanted to be a good Doctor In 15, 20 years, I wouldn't go to the Med school, I would go to the math department..."
No man ,you have no idea of the sh_t you are talking in those silly lines... If you took that path you might become a great technician on mathematics applied to science, but nothing more than that... In order to really be a GREAT Doctor not only you can't skip the great amount of knowledge only Medical School can provide you, but you have to be a real human being, in the deepest sense of the expression first...
And that is something I don't wish you to learn when lying and dying on an emergency room bed, just to discover that there is a technician in maths for you in the place where a real Doctor with sense of humanity should be.
(I am stating this as a proud Medical Doctor by the way. 😉)
Thanks for sharing this talk. 👍
Yeah...I was confused too....if he only explained why he said that.... I guess he was talking about robots doing surgery...
Statement at 30:00 appears quite blunt. I am inclined to agree with it
That was very good
I feel bad, such great people went out of India. India desperately needs good leaders and entrepreneurs.
India keeps the Reserved. America keeps the Deserved.
Common dude.
Imagine there is a guy having a 90lpa job and if he tells his parents that he is going to start a new company all of a sudden, he is going to be discouraged
Indians are moving out NOT because india isn't great, its just that it's too competitive and crowdy. Why would someone stay And be 3rd, when he could be 1st in other country. ( Economy is a thing as well)
