- Colin L. Powell was appointed Secretary of State by George W. Bush on January 20, 2001, after being unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate. He served for four years, leaving the position on January 26, 2005. He was the first African-American to serve as Secretary of State.

I suspect this video is going to have another surge of popularity with his passing. A beloved husband, father, grandfather and public servant. He will be missed. But, what about "change maker?" At Speakers Speak LIVE, we make a point of studying amazing professional speakers. Mr. Powell demonstrates amazing public speaking skills here including connecting with the audience within 10 seconds, being able to continually keep the audience engaged, use of humor (far more humor than you'd expect from a military guy), and giving substantial content of value. Unlike most TEDx talks I've heard, he really does just sound like he's talking with each person one-on-one. What a great example and an amazing message we can all learn from and use for years to come.
I agree. 💓🇺🇸💓
Indeed I’m here watching it after his passing !
Incredibly. Must watch for every parent!!
I appreciate this man, I am not considered a Republican but I appreciate this type of person. Thank you TedX Talks for this video.
Commitment to invest as mentors not only in our kids but others .....make sure no child is left behind the structure in heart story - Thank you Sir
I really wish that many of our leaders had your perspective and wit and intellect. I enjoyed your talk.
And sincerity and integrity!
General Powell is a wonderful speaker. Awesome!
I have never been a Republican, but I always liked Colin Powel. I admired him and I think he was an amazing leader and an amazing human being. A good speaker with a great sense of humor too. RIP Mr Powel, thanks for your service and for all you did for our country. You are a hero to many people. I will miss you too. I got very sad when I heard the news of your death, but you are in a better place now. God bless your soul.
Amazing closing anecdote with a Powell-ful message.

How does this only have 4 likes lol
I really like this talk and I think people misunderstand structure to mean old fashioned and cold. Children thrive in an environment where theres not only love but in an environment where they learn how to be independent and an environment that understands that there is no cookie cutter child. The school system in itself is actually quite rigid and tends to fail some children. Children of abilities should be encouraged to thrive in a learning environment but at the same time taught principles of respect for others and one self. I liked the generals honesty. It was engaging.
We had a treasure in the person of General Colin Powell a person I believe of courage and integrity.
Awesome talk on preparing children for education. Thank you for putting up this video. hooah. :)
Rest in Power, Great General!
Salute " to you sir "
RIP SIR
This is an amazing talk that's informative for all of us. Too bad Alma didn't want him to run for President.
Thanks
I miss you already Sir! I pray for your family
Amazing! God bless you Gen Powell!
You are the best person in the world Mr.Powell I admire you so much!👏
Logan Studstill good sarcasm
+Logan Studstill He seems to be a respectful man, but he went to Vietnam to kill innocent people. Didn't he kill any Vietnamese? (serious question)
+Logan Studstill Is this a joke. He knew he was lying to the world. To save face he wanted out, but only After he had Bush elected. Powell is a slithering careerist snake.
Take a look at this internet story.
One of the best TED talks on the net
Given by Gen. Colin Powell trust me on this you will enjoy this he is an outstanding speaker
Yeah his speech at the UN in 2003 is even better.
Needed this
Great speech from Colin
What an inspiring speech.
Right down to earth and a hard task master.
RIP General.
Job well done and now he’s gone to rest. Glad he was one of my distant mentors. I’m ready to lead sir. 🙏🏽
Rest in peace general Powell you will be missed by so many people
One million Iraqis really miss him
Not me
Respect! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a true and honorable message needed to be employed in our society more and more >>
A great son of America
Solid man
can u please add spanish subtitles, we latinos need structure too? that will be great :)
(continued) This is my problem with the military, and my problem with people who "just follow orders" even it means lying to the international community and starting illegal wars that lead to death, destruction, and turmoil. Oh, and I can't forget royalties from best-selling books! Our culture is sickening.
Did you know that dis man aganaral .is responcable four more dets of man of coler .dan ane other Ganaral.
I agree that children need structure but he's basing structure on an antiquated military (Prussian) methodology that trains children not to think but to obey. Considering his background this is understandable. We need to teach children structure in a way that gives them respect for themselves and each other and also encourages critical thinking. The majority of schools in North America base their teaching methods on a Prussian system from the early 19th century. If we continue to teach lessons from a military culture then we are not moving in the right direction for a sustainable future.
People say that Colin Powell was a monster. I dont see a monster I see a man who truly cares about our kids. Kids absolutely need structure. Colin knows what he is talking about. Collin Powell is not monster he cares about our future and our future is our kids.
Be the secretary of state and you can say that grow up freely is a good thing.
May the Secretary-General rest in power and peace🕯🌟💖
What a guy ❤ Rest In Power.
This man has some good stuff
he speaks so well
Interesting how his speech had no inflammatory rhetoric. How his experience in NY seemed in no way to mirror that of JayZ or others who would have you believe police are hateful monsters who kill minorities at will. His message is one of hope and a call to action.. Not protest, but rather stay out of trouble, raise your children, keep your head on straight and have some self control.
I never said that police brutality didn't exist, I believe I commented on how his talk did not focus on hate but rather hope. However, thanks for info, I guess. There are bad people in every facet of life, There are bad doctors, bad lawyers, bad parents and yes bad police. However, their not common.
💙
RIH Sir!
Last time the Drill-Sergeant-technique was applied in Germany, most people didn't like it too much
🙏🏾
RIP to one of the best to ever do it.
I agree with some of what he says, but I disagree that children need to be made into these rigid, submissive robots. Children love to learn, and they are naturally curious and experimental. We need to cultivate that curiosity and help children find something that really interests them, help them to fall in love with learning and with knowledge. Forcing them to stand at ease is taking the easy way out, because it shuts off their brains...
I agree with you but if children lack the headstart he speaks of, cutting ther minds down to the working minimum is sadly the cheapest way to "integrate" them [until the ptsd induced perception addiction has to get them back in line].
I love how many negative comments there are, even though the like ratio is about 11:1
He also failed in the STEM fields he started out with in college (fields that America desperately needs to fill gaps in), nor does he sound very academic at all. This does not help his argument in the slightest.
Public schools could train students to be ideal parents. Military basic training is 18 weeks. That’s one semester. Let’s go.
I have read a lot of the comments in here and I have to say that there are some REALLY stupid ignorant people out there. I agree with what he says in this video. Kids do NEED structure. They do need to have somebody to teach them in a way that they understand the US would be at the top again.

A moment of silence for all the innocent Iraqi women and children killed.
Well, Colin Powell you failed to be a leader, but a follower when to counts most.

listen, poverty is not knowing what plants to eat
This sort of militaristic approach is not conducive for producing innovative and open-minded leaders. This "yes sir/no sir" mentality is present in many inner city schools and has mostly turned children away from education. Discipline, sure, it's needed- but teaching in this extreme manner will never develop independent students with critical thinking abilities. All one has to do is review current research from the learning sciences and developmental psychology
JKM12988 no it not 😂😂
👍🏼
Like u led the youth to unjust war 😂
Are you sure about that?

I refuse to think that respect and discipline being taught with war/military-like conducts will ever bring anything positive. Respect and discipline should be taught to be good because it is the "smart" way to do things. Being respectful and having discipline are qualities you develop because you use your "intelligence" and realize that this is what will better help you fulfill yourself. This man only defines who he is by the "others," as in "the other kids are going to be criminals, not mine."
I kinda like this guy... but can't forgive him for his "job".
What a bad Karma he has to endure...
To lead as you did only adds misery to this world.
I have some extra tissues if you need them to wipe up your drool. I'm here to help.
He's gone now. And has a shameful legacy.
Powell washing powder
This guy seems to think that a permanent internalisation of a scrutinising shaming parent is a good thing. Bullshit! I'd rather be free a grow up on my own in my own way without supervision thank you very much! Guidance is a good thing because it leaves you with a choice! Supervision is not a good thing because it does not leave you with a choice
let's all laugh at a generals jokes.
🤣🤣🤣🤣☠
He is trying to make sense ,
Why this mass killer on TED?
War criminal
TED, of all these insightful people with amazing knowledge and points of view and now you have this war monger and war criminal in your show, I'm surprised, what's next you are going to have Hitler speaking about tolerance?
***** General Powell may have been hesitant about Iraq, but still he was the one who decided to give the speech which he knew was false. He's a military person and they only get credit, notice and promotions during wars. Peace is the worst thing that can happen for a military person who wants to advance in his career.
***** Powell was not coerced into buying a car or some small thing, He gave a speech that set things in motion to start the WAR in Iraq, where thousands of people, both military and civilians were going to loose their lives, people were going to be left homeless, orphaned, cities destroyed by the bombings. I don't think General Powell is a wimp and can be pushed around. He knew what he was doing and knew the repercussions his actions were going to cause and he went on and gave the speech.
MrBrenman21 How many people did you help while you were in the service?
MrBrenman21 Hey Brenman have a great day, don't take life so seriously.
Javier Loya You ever wear the uniform?
