My mind was blown when he revealed that all it takes to go from No Talent -> Genius is finding the SMALL steps that are WITHIN your abilities. And not to mention that you must treat it like a journey... it might take 5 years or 10 years, but DO NOT rush it! What an incredibly insightful video
Somehow the whole thought of this video reminded me of calculus, with how the area under a curve is solved by adding up infinitesimal strips and how smaller steps that we take lead us to a bigger picture. It's beautiful.

Hey Mark Diaz, I am 21 years old, and I have always been fascinated by "Human Nature" in a way that brought me to read Robert Greene's book, "The Daily Laws," and somewhere near the end of the book, I said to myself that I want to become “An Artist of Human Nature” and a "Genius." For last 6 years, I have been on this journey of self-reflection, learning from great philosophers, reading books and preaching all I can by interacting with people who have extremely different personality that mine. And this is why I am happy to acknowledge that I have a certain level of familiarity with the art of human nature. That being said, I still have some insecurities that hijack my mind and cloud it with emotional fog to convince myself that I cannot get too good at any technical skill because it's hard for me. I find it very hard, exhausting, and disappointing. But after watching this video, "Can anyone become a genius?" I am convinced by the analogy with which you depict what makes a genius. I am fascinated by it, and realizing everything you said, I can see the hope that it is possible for me to become good at something like coding, business, dance, piano, and boxing. Just imagine that I truly preach everything you said in this video and become “An Artist of Human Nature” and a "Genius." I want to let you know how thankful and grateful I am for you sharing this with the world. Thank you!
Amazing talk. All makes sense. It's like my own life story. At 43, after being diagnosed with fatty liver, I decided to start jogging. It was hard, I was only able to run to a maximum distance of 2-3km at a time. I also started to swim, at most 50m, at once and stop to catch more breath. Then after about 2 months I realised that actually I improved in both running and swimming. I signed up for a short Aquathlon (750m swim + 10km run) events. Then I read a running article about marathon that says: one should dream big to keep yourself motivated and have a focus on certain things. So I decided to sign up for 42km full marathon and also 6.5km open sea swim. I trained hard, 3x running a week after work and 2x weekly pool swim. Occasionally I took leave from work so that I can swim in the pool without disturbance when no one else want to swim under hot mid noon sun. 6 years later, I completed 11 full marathons, 3 open sea 6.5km swim and 3 ultra aquathlons. Whatever the presenter said makes every sense to me. It also reminded me of the story of the 3 Polgar sisters whose father literally made the 3 of them chess geniuses.
A picture, they say is worth more than a thousand words. Now, this is genius: using his artistic skills to communicate an unrelated message. One of the finest deliveries of TEDx I have seen
One of the best videos I've seen on YT for a while, for starters like me who have been ignoring this video in your recommended feed for months, DO NOT view this video distracted, you must fully immerse yourself, try to enjoy the all the "Smallest" steps as he explains very well in the video, it's definitely worth the watch!!
I am a crearive writing and poetry writing genuis, and I am basically locked in a room most of my dad reading and writing and editing work. Writing greatly poetry comes super easy to me now, and people say I am gifted, but they don't know my journey. I am obsessed with ever step that is needed to write great creative work. I am currently taking all my class over again, even though I got A's in them and I have steady writing success. I will not argue with anyone for saying I am a genius. Geniuses know when they are one, and have the right to say they are just like someone can say they are a woman or a man or a doctor or a lawyer.

I really got caught up in his speech, Mark Diaz did an amazing job talking about how a person can find the way to improve his own abilities, It's amazing how he organized the information with his own skills, as soon as the pictures appeared, I focused on them and started to understand what he meant. I feel very proud that I made the decision to learn english almost three years ago, because I could understand everything he said and I think that I will sign up for his online classes, because he knows how to encourage people to make their dreams and goals come true.
This is literally one of the best TED talks I’ve seen since ever! Just think about how original it is but has only relatively low view counts. What a pity
I am a genuis writer, mostly a poet. Everyone is born with an ability to become a genuis in something. Yes, I was born with a naturally ability to write great poetry but I still made myself a genuis poet. My parents were writers and so is my oldest brother, and still, GENUISES ARE MADE. Please stop saying "make it". Many genuises aren't even publically known and don't care to be. My poetry mentor said I showed signs of it. I picked up a book of poems, when I was young, and understood how it was put together, I reached enlightment reading it. You make yourself a genuis in something, through repititon and programing your mind, to do it more by instincts. When I took my mentorship, any assignment he gave me, I did it three times. I then spent weeks after my mentorships, doing it over and over again. It was not hard nor stressful, I just knew it had to be repeatedly done. I have taken countless steps to become a genuis poet. I even have done the same course over and over again in my free time.
@Lulu Jjk to discover what your brain was attached to as a kid. You can do a list of all the things you really enjoyed as a kid. What ever one that even now you are drawn to keep doing is most likely what you were born to become a genuis in. All you need to do is create desire and keep it and have a good strategy and tactics to become a genuis in it and create wealth from it, in every way you can.
This change my perspective and doubt that somehow talent always win and felt that i couldn't attain the level of intellectual to become a professor but after watching this, I will spend my time devoting to become great in the path that I have chosen
I totally agree with Mark, the online teacher, because he said that everyone can become a genius as long as they work hard without having to think about being talented or very skilled at something from day one.Therefore, becoming a genius in a certain area would compensate for the time spent practicing and improving in it.
I am 42 years old now and my strongest point in life was computing and technology and I have a slight learning disability and I was brought up old school my mum is 75 and my dad is 77 years old, I became good computing and technology at the age of 7 or 8 years old all just by playing around on my dads computer back then it was more programming to make your own games or cassets or discs and all I did was just play around with it, when I was in hightschool I was a one finger typer at a time now I can type and use a keyboard with my eyes shut, but it was not till I was in 6yr of hightschool it all just came to me and all I did was not give up read and watch into it, I was never a classroom person, but still it just all came to me and yet I self tought myself that being my own boss. but I allways loved solving things and maths but iv never been great at maths im 42 years old now iv been self teaching myself math since 2018 it took me 3 years to get familure with maths and now I am and now I can do calculus better but I still go over it and persaver makeing better my weakness, as they say practice makes perfect, hopefully one day before I die I would love to do advance math, topology differential deometly, abstract algebra and anaylasis because I love solving things, I say to myself its not comeing sooner but ill just persavere.
and anyway they say that kid prdiogy thos child geniuses when they get older can`t take the preasure becasue there tought to be the best in everything or what they do so they become competative and do what they do and eventually take there own lives because one beating them or something never works out because they never got the work out they deserve so go at your own pace and not be competative about it.
I really want to thank you for sharing this video with us. I've been going through really tough times as of lately. My brain has been a mess, almost like a prison, and I couldn't find the will to do what I'm passionate about. However, this video has inspired me. It's basically opened my mind. I already know what was said, I already practice it and believe in it. It's implemented in my principles. But I completely forgot about it. I felt like I had been setting up goals and failing them every single time, but that was because I set up the win but not the plan. Thank you. I'll focus now on using my age and time generously, and to forgive myself for perhaps doing the bare minimum, because even the tiniest of practice is a win!
When I was a little kid, my dream was to be a brillant rocket scientist but i was deeply depressed and got some suicidal thoughts (because this has been my dream & life purpose since my childhood) when i met a genius guy who could easily solve problems which i tried so hard but i couldnt or like he could remember all the things teachers said or remember a lot of knowledge from books we read 3-4 months ago which i couldn't. he had a super sharp memory which is why he didn't need to work. he worked hard just the night before the exam but still he got the best grades which i could never reach although i worked super hard. it was the turning point in my life. i realised that i was just an average girl with no special talent. i gave up on my dreams because of my genes which i cant do anything. I will be 18 years old next month and this will be my only wish, a wish that will never come true.
I relate hard. I wanted to be a physicist because I love physics but I lack intellect to do anything useful in that field. There are smarter people than me in my class and that depresess me too. It's similar situation. There were many times I've tried to better myself, think more but you can't compete with natural talent and genes. It comes easy for them. Maybe I have too much of a negative outlook on this, I don't know. But it's hard to not be discouraged. I gave up on my goals which once seemed achievable. Now I think they are just wishful thinking. I empathize with you. Hang in there.
This video demonstrated that in order to be a genius, it is not only about being intelligent or born with it, but also about working to maintain this intelligence and nurture it more and more.
my name’s also Joanne and I’m an artist! my dream is to become a professional illustrator or animator, but these past couple of years I’ve felt unmotivated to draw and constantly distract myself with my phone. I felt like this lecture was for me, I must try smarter!
I love you very much, Mr. Mark. You have all the appreciation and respect. May God grant you paradise If you want to succeed, you have to keep going and repeating
I agree. I never believed that getting good at math or calculus was possible. I practiced it before college because I got accepted into college of Engineering. Lo and behold, it's my favorite subject now.
i remember when there was a ''genius'' at my school, he was a very talented kid, and he got everything without trying. All i did was study and work hard but, i was still never as good enough.
I feel you, I was in that same situation. No matter how hard I tried, my intelligent friends always got higher scores, came up with faster solution, earned more attention from teachers and lectures.
The video teaches us a lot of perspectives. We can be geniuses by finding the small steps that are within our abilities. The key is to practice and improve our skills.
Oh wow that's amazing and very motivated speech that I learned when I watched until the end of the video.. It's not about your age it's all about your passion dont let your age destroyed your dreams to make it possible..
I loveee his speash he motivated me a lot thank u so much❤ Martin Luther king said:"if you can't fly than run, if you can't rum walk, if u can't walk crawl, but whatever u do keep moving forward "😉
this man is a brilliant person. Finally a video I actually learnt something from instead of constant short fed content that doesn't do anything for my life besides waste it. sadly enough all the things he said are become even more relevant in todays world
I wish no one to be a genious. It's lonely. You will struggle with alot of pain to the point where you cant sleep. You might get betrayed, and lose trust in anyone else. You might be up at night, thinking of ideas. You might feel guilty for something, and to have any joy and to smile, you will have to do something great for other people to feel just ok inside. If you have a reason to smile through out your day, then don't try to become a genious. Trust me, we are insane from all the pain, we have no reason to smile untill we do something great.
A couple things I want to touch on... There's a difference between talent and skill, the first is a natural affinity and the other takes work to develop, and absolutely anyone can develop their skills in accordance with their talents (i.e. work hard at what you love to do or wish to do) and thereby become a genius. BUT in the case of Mozart and many of the great musicians, what almost always sets them apart is that they developed what is referred to as "perfect pitch", the ability to know what a note is by hearing it, and this ability can only happen or rather be "imprinted" during very early stages of brain development. So in that respect, not "anybody" can become a Mozart if their brain is already developed beyond that stage of imprinting. But still, anybody can become a genius at something via consistency and dedication, absolutely!
@@notme9806 Please make a video of someone hitting random notes on your preferred instrument while you immediately call out the note names and I will believe you.
@@adamcolbertmusic i swear and its not only me i studied 6 years and this music school and to pass each year we have to pass this exam where the teacher plays the piano and we have to write the notes he is doing, and each year he would play faster and faster. and every kid in that school had to do that test to pass to the next year so thats why i believe its a skill thats all
@@notme9806 We have a similar test in the Aural Skills class where the teacher gives the starting pitch and then the students have to write the melody that follows, but that has more to do with "relative pitch" and identifying intervals from the starting note (for example if the starting note is F and the interval is a minor 6th then you'd know it was D flat). Did your teacher tell you the starting note like that? Or just jump in playing random notes?
I've been playing Geometry Dash for about 8 years now, on and off. Never have I been able to beat a demon level. Never did I finish all the non-demon official levels. It really makes me feel like I'm broken, like my brain just can't adapt. There just is no excuse to this lack of progress. I think what really makes a genius is the rate at which they progress. The many hours Mozart spent on the piano could also just be a result of him feeling immense improvement every time he practiced, so he kept coming back, not the other way around, that the practice made him become that way. He kept experiencing novelty and change in the right direction. Non of which I ever felt in the last 8 years (Geometry Dash is just an example, I tried many things including drawing, music production, poetry and programming)
Once everyone is a genius... the IQ of all geniuses will be 100. Woot. Joking aside, all respect for people who carve out their own path, while somehow also not invading and wrecking lives of others. Creative collaboration, might be the way of the future.
Well, a genius is someone who is well above other people in a field, so if I take informations given here, that some people are born with a talent that allow them to take greater steps, given that they will work hard also, then no matter how much time you dedicate you will never be able to become a genius, because it's relative to others and talented hard working people will always be above you.
Please stop this BS! The title should be “anyone can be good at sth, if they work really hard”, but please stop abusing the word “genius”. It’s like telling people with no limbs: “anyone can swim, so can you”, you are gonna get someone killed. Drawing is a skill, it can be trained, it does not take a genius to draw, the first drawing is actually not that bad (grab a random person on the street, s/he won’t be able to do that), the second drawing is actually not perfect (any manga artist can do that). And it took that person 5 years??? Using small steps means you are not a genius, you spend more time and energy to achieve sth can be done easily by a real genius. This video is very misleading, I understand the PC culture, everyone's the same, but people only say it because intelligence cannot be easily measured (standardized test sucks). If you tell me I can grow to 185cm but I'm 160cm 45 years old, I will punch you in the face, because it can be measured and I know it's impossible. Normal people want to listen to these stories not because they are true, but because they are very comforting, and if you agree with the speaker, I have bad news for you. Yes, the world is a lie and life is harsh, get over with it. And last, Mozart had “perfect pitch” , an ability to identify a note by hearing it. The ability is considered remarkably rare, estimated to be less than one in 10,000 individuals.
Do you know what it means to be a genius? No it's not high IQ or talent. It's the ability to do things against the odds that shouldn't be possible in society today. The instructions given are terrible. Are you able to do the work based off of bad instruction and do them wrong???

My brain has been a mess, almost like a prison, and I couldn't find the will to do what I'm passionate about. However, this video has inspired me. It's basically opened my mind. I already know what was said, I already practice it and believe in it. It's implemented in my principles. But I completely forgot about it. I felt like I had been setting up goals and failing them every single time, but that was because I set up the win but not the plan. Thank you. I'll focus now on using my age and time generously, and to forgive myself for perhaps doing the bare minimum, because even the tiniest of practice is a win!
When I was a little kid, my dream was to be a brillant rocket scientist but i was deeply depressed and got some suicidal thoughts (because this has been my dream & life purpose since my childhood) when i met a genius guy who could easily solve problems which i tried so hard but i couldnt or like he could remember all the things teachers said or remember a lot of knowledge from books we read 3-4 months ago which i couldn't. he had a super sharp memory which is why he didn't need to work. he worked hard just the night before the exam but still he got the best grades which i could never reach although i worked super hard. it was the turning point in my life. i realised that i was just an average girl with no special talent. i gave up on my dreams because of my genes which i cant do anything.
I will be 18 years old next month and this will be my only wish, a wish that will never come true.
I relate hard. I wanted to be a physicist because I love physics but I lack intellect to do anything useful in that field. There are smarter people than me in my class and that depresess me too. It's similar situation. There were many times I've tried to better myself, think more but you can't compete with natural talent and genes. It comes easy for them. Maybe I have too much of a negative outlook on this, I don't know. But it's hard to not be discouraged. I gave up on my goals which once seemed achievable. Now I think they are just wishful thinking. I empathize with you. Hang in there.
Hey I hope you are fine
This video demonstrated that in order to be a genius, it is not only about being intelligent or born with it, but also about working to maintain this intelligence and nurture it more and more.
my name’s also Joanne and I’m an artist!
my dream is to become a professional illustrator or animator, but these past couple of years I’ve felt unmotivated to draw and constantly distract myself with my phone. I felt like this lecture was for me, I must try smarter!
Hey Joanne, how's your journey going?
Great Ted Talk. The way he presented, delightful to watch. Hope we taught every important sector of our life like that, a perfect Edutainment.
I do not understand how this video has only 243k views today, otherwise, this is an amazing video presented ingeniously. Amazing!
This was hands down THE BEST Ted talk I have ever seen. Thanks for inspiring me 💜☺️
I love you very much, Mr. Mark. You have all the appreciation and respect. May God grant you paradise If you want to succeed, you have to keep going and repeating
Your video will be relevant 10 years from now. Epic
I agree. I never believed that getting good at math or calculus was possible. I practiced it before college because I got accepted into college of Engineering. Lo and behold, it's my favorite subject now.
That guy is Hilarious!!!
And that speech was amazing.
Thanks so much! It was a team effort and was also thanks to the feedback from the TED Team :D
not only was this entertaining, but it’s actually such a good point and extremely helpful
👌Brilliant! Genius is not about your genetics but about your Habits. Thank you for spreading true education
This is outright one of the best Ted Talks I have ever came across 👏👏
Amazing speech ! One of the most incredible and thoughtful videos that I've ever come across before !!!
Three keys too success 1. deduction, 2. determination, and finally 3. desire.
i remember when there was a ''genius'' at my school, he was a very talented kid, and he got everything without trying.
All i did was study and work hard but, i was still never as good enough.
I feel you, I was in that same situation. No matter how hard I tried, my intelligent friends always got higher scores, came up with faster solution, earned more attention from teachers and lectures.
same
Did you ever live with them? See how they spent their time? Maybe they worked twice as hard as you did.
@@rr.studios they were literally my friend i knew him💀 did u live with me?? maybe i do know what i’m talking abt and maybe i know more than u 💀
@@rr.studios stop acting like you know me or him 💀
This is probably the most informative and entertaining Ted Talk I’ve seen so far
R.I.P. Replay button, it was the video's fault. Just so good!
The video teaches us a lot of perspectives. We can be geniuses by finding the small steps that are within our abilities. The key is to practice and improve our skills.
Houston we have a problem, this video is too good!
AWESOME ADVICE AND AWESOME VIDEO !!! THANK YOU MR. MARK!! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS !!!
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS ️️️️ I want to re-play again and again!
That man found a creative way to promote his business.
HAHAHA HA I genuinely laughed at how awesome and playful his presentation was.
One of the best Ted Talks that I have ever watched! Kudos to the presenter, what a great performance!
This was the most interesting commercial I've ever seen
I just love how he says drawing. It’s so cool
Super interesting conference, this is a rare speech thanks for putting all this effort to convey such useful info
"whatever you do keep moving forward"
just gave this a standing ovation from my dining table
That's great.
Great presentation. Thank you. The slight edge by Jeff Olson is a great resource for the philosophy.
this video will be stuck in my head for the next month and I’m really happy about it :)
maybe one of the funniest smartest ted talks ever!!
This is so true!❤️❤️
I don't want to waste my rest of life , now!
as long as you dont change your direction you are most likely to go to your destination
Oh wow that's amazing and very motivated speech that I learned when I watched until the end of the video.. It's not about your age it's all about your passion dont let your age destroyed your dreams to make it possible..
Simply brilliant. Why this video is underrated?😮
I loveee his speash he motivated me a lot thank u so much❤
Martin Luther king said:"if you can't fly than run, if you can't rum walk, if u can't walk crawl, but whatever u do keep moving forward "😉

@@briananderson1246 get snaptube its a dowbloading app illegal tho :>
this man is a brilliant person. Finally a video I actually learnt something from instead of constant short fed content that doesn't do anything for my life besides waste it. sadly enough all the things he said are become even more relevant in todays world
Who's still gonna be here in 2020?? I will!!!

Really nothing feels better than this

That's why he wasn't genius ig

I wish no one to be a genious.
It's lonely. You will struggle with alot of pain to the point where you cant sleep. You might get betrayed, and lose trust in anyone else.
You might be up at night, thinking of ideas. You might feel guilty for something, and to have any joy and to smile, you will have to do something great for other people to feel just ok inside.
If you have a reason to smile through out your day, then don't try to become a genious. Trust me, we are insane from all the pain, we have no reason to smile untill we do something great.
Absolutely amazing!!!! Congrats!
Thank you for the new perspective I now have after watching.
its an outstanding speech. thank you
The world needs to see this
OMG I'm so shook!! this is ICONIC
Brilliant! And, to boot, I am taking small steps and learning from their online school. Highly recommended!!!!!
Thanks so much for recommending us :D Hope you learn a lot!
Then the goal is to know how to build our steps
This deserves Billion views n Likes.....Period....it will never get old
I know I’m not the only one who screamed. Omg this was freaking amazing
This dosen’t make you a genius. A genius summons knowledge of the universe and makes quantum leaps.
A couple things I want to touch on... There's a difference between talent and skill, the first is a natural affinity and the other takes work to develop, and absolutely anyone can develop their skills in accordance with their talents (i.e. work hard at what you love to do or wish to do) and thereby become a genius. BUT in the case of Mozart and many of the great musicians, what almost always sets them apart is that they developed what is referred to as "perfect pitch", the ability to know what a note is by hearing it, and this ability can only happen or rather be "imprinted" during very early stages of brain development. So in that respect, not "anybody" can become a Mozart if their brain is already developed beyond that stage of imprinting. But still, anybody can become a genius at something via consistency and dedication, absolutely!
i learned perfect pitch at 13
@@notme9806 Please make a video of someone hitting random notes on your preferred instrument while you immediately call out the note names and I will believe you.
@@adamcolbertmusic i swear and its not only me i studied 6 years and this music school and to pass each year we have to pass this exam where the teacher plays the piano and we have to write the notes he is doing, and each year he would play faster and faster. and every kid in that school had to do that test to pass to the next year so thats why i believe its a skill thats all
@@adamcolbertmusic also it was a shock to me to learn that it wasnt a common thing in other country's schools. ( i live in morocco btw)
@@notme9806 We have a similar test in the Aural Skills class where the teacher gives the starting pitch and then the students have to write the melody that follows, but that has more to do with "relative pitch" and identifying intervals from the starting note (for example if the starting note is F and the interval is a minor 6th then you'd know it was D flat). Did your teacher tell you the starting note like that? Or just jump in playing random notes?
I had no idea how badly I needed this video until now.
Love it! Very inspiring thank you Mark!
Thanks Bridget :D
This channel is like TH-cam's greatest hits
I love this I watched 15 times already
I've been playing Geometry Dash for about 8 years now, on and off. Never have I been able to beat a demon level. Never did I finish all the non-demon official levels. It really makes me feel like I'm broken, like my brain just can't adapt. There just is no excuse to this lack of progress. I think what really makes a genius is the rate at which they progress. The many hours Mozart spent on the piano could also just be a result of him feeling immense improvement every time he practiced, so he kept coming back, not the other way around, that the practice made him become that way. He kept experiencing novelty and change in the right direction. Non of which I ever felt in the last 8 years (Geometry Dash is just an example, I tried many things including drawing, music production, poetry and programming)
Arnold's voice: I'll be back!
Once everyone is a genius... the IQ of all geniuses will be 100. Woot. Joking aside, all respect for people who carve out their own path, while somehow also not invading and wrecking lives of others. Creative collaboration, might be the way of the future.
this video deserves to be a worldwide SMASH PERIOD!!!!

Well, a genius is someone who is well above other people in a field, so if I take informations given here, that some people are born with a talent that allow them to take greater steps, given that they will work hard also, then no matter how much time you dedicate you will never be able to become a genius, because it's relative to others and talented hard working people will always be above you.
This man deserves a million views!
"Drowing"
Drah wing
I get chills every time l see it
How come bright side’s video has more views than this, and they’re on the same topic. SMH 🤦🏾♂️
This will go down in history!
Please stop this BS!
The title should be “anyone can be good at sth, if they work really hard”, but please stop abusing the word “genius”. It’s like telling people with no limbs: “anyone can swim, so can you”, you are gonna get someone killed.
Drawing is a skill, it can be trained, it does not take a genius to draw, the first drawing is actually not that bad (grab a random person on the street, s/he won’t be able to do that), the second drawing is actually not perfect (any manga artist can do that). And it took that person 5 years???
Using small steps means you are not a genius, you spend more time and energy to achieve sth can be done easily by a real genius.
This video is very misleading, I understand the PC culture, everyone's the same, but people only say it because intelligence cannot be easily measured (standardized test sucks). If you tell me I can grow to 185cm but I'm 160cm 45 years old, I will punch you in the face, because it can be measured and I know it's impossible.
Normal people want to listen to these stories not because they are true, but because they are very comforting, and if you agree with the speaker, I have bad news for you.
Yes, the world is a lie and life is harsh, get over with it.
And last, Mozart had “perfect pitch” , an ability to identify a note by hearing it. The ability is considered remarkably rare, estimated to be less than one in 10,000 individuals.
Do you know what it means to be a genius? No it's not high IQ or talent. It's the ability to do things against the odds that shouldn't be possible in society today. The instructions given are terrible. Are you able to do the work based off of bad instruction and do them wrong???
What are you even saying?
Just want to comment down... Impressive! Definitely gonna put this into practice.
This video is so slowly paced-even in 2x speed it felt dragged along
