You can literally feel how happy he is when he started talking about his dream and actually doing it.
Never ever look at a person and think, "this person is unsuccessful", because we never know what success means to that person.
A wonderful talk!
I love the line “Make sure the moon you are shooting for is your own” think of those that depends on you, things that occupy your mind, those are your meaning and purpose in life
This was genuinely one of the best ted talks I've ever seen
I don't know why I'm crying right now while watching this video. Maybe because I don't know what I wanted to be. God please help me to look for my own moon.
I understand why you cried coz I too, have no idea why I’m crying but it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a while ❤️🙌🏾
You're not alone
same
The way I see it, there's two types of succes. Inwards succes and outward succes. Inwards succes means living by your values, which is what really counts. Outwards succes, is measured by how well you do in the outside world, which is obviously also important, and there's nothing wrong with it. The big problem with focusing on outward success is that you simply don't have control over everything.
Example 1. You want to make the track team. You read all about training, ask for advice from the coach, and really push yourself in your workouts. But when you try out, you don't make the team. Did you fail?
Example 2. You value working cooperatively. You did your best to work with a group of classmates on a project, but in the end it fell apart because some of the others didn't do their part. Did you fail?
Example 3. You value working hard. Your goal was to make the best video ever on chord progressions. You worked hard and the video was decent. Did you fail?
In my opinion you didn't fail in any of the examples. You made a sincere effort to do what mattered to you. Sure, the world didn't give you exactly what you wanted. But you still succeeded because you acted in a way that was true to yourself.
So hard to say
This is one of the most beautiful Ted talks I’ve seen! Thank you for sharing your story, such an inspiration!
We all have our own dream, but we just pass it, because the system we live in has other priorities. We sacrifice our dreams for the system needs.

This is so wonderful! You've really lived a life most people are afraid of going after.. :) the best message I received from this video today - success isn't about winning / anxiety of winning - its really about following your inner joy ( passion ) doing what makes you happy :D
+Pritika Guha Thanks so much for your comments Pritika. Glad the talk was meaningful for you.
@@JamieAnderson1971 I really inspired by your speech. I was working for a couple of years after finished my undergraduate. I made a pretty good paid off money, but I felt something is missing, so I decided to quit my job. Now, I'm in the middle of somewhere.
He explained so beautifully
he made me cry!! thank you so much!!
Amazing!!
This message helped to know what I want to be and it's simple. I want to me and go after my dreams while aiming at my moon. I also realized that I define my own success. life is simple if I decide I will like it to be instead of beating myself down over and over again about things outside my dream. I am telling myself dream on love dream on. 😘
Great Advice!!! My moon is helping people realize their value and changing their life through that knowledge!
What a inspirational message
Fantastic speech! Thank you Jamie.
+Julien Huveners Thanks Julien!

Thank you ❤
Omg i cried

Success is contently smiling and living life as if your heart is singing. But we are all humans so don't expect success to come without a whole lot of headaches ;)
I agree completely Mason - a little over a year ago I lay beside the road on a mountain descent in Mallorca. It was early April and I had just hit a brick wall doing about 50km per hour, breaking ten ribs, puncturing a lung, dislocating my right shoulder and cracking several teeth. But I did not despair - not even for a moment. Because throughout my life I have sometimes experienced setbacks and heartache, but I have always been able to get back on my feet. And here I am a year later, having had the most amazing Spring cycling season. With around 20 days of racing under my belt, I have been on the podium six times. Just great! It's all about self belief, beyond reason.
I really got motivation from this talk！
The only true measure of success is happiness, nothing else...
Jamie. This is Hayley from the Japan MEF Tour. Found you via a friend. Would like to connect. I live in SF now.
Great story, great talk!
Brilliant and inspirational
Thanks Andy - and great to meet you! I look forward to staying in touch.
2020 anyone???
Yessir
It's cute hearing things like this from someone in their 40s who lived during a time things weren't astronomically priced & there was still hope for the future. The fact he was able to afford to have a child speaks volumes for itself. Im 27. Ive worked a job since I was 16. I've almost finally completed my college degree in finance & have absolutely nothing to show for any of it. I have no money, no home of my own, no children, ive been in a long term relationship with a man who is in the same situation & came from a worse financial family set up than I did. We can't even afford to get married right now.
Really....in life, doing what you love is important..
Love it!
Wow!
Great story Jamie, I felt the emotions several times during the presentation. let's go and shoot some more moons ;-) (the right ones)
beautiful inspiring speech.
+Avery Dunlap Thank you Avery! You might also like my article 'Achieving Lifework' www.london.edu/faculty-and-research/lbsr/achieving-lifeworks#.VifwXxArKcx
Putting a roof over the head and food on the table for the family comes before all dreams. Being able to do that is a great success.
Having said that, I’m so happy for you ... back to work.
Don't have kids until you have 500k and don't have more than 2 children.
“Shooting for the moon is great but out there in the universe there are a lot of moons so just make sure that the moon that you are shooting for is your own”
Successful means happiness.
The only success that matters is the one you think up yourself, If you believe success is being able to have a nice little house making enough money to live comfortably than and your able to reach that, it doesnt matter if others think your lazy for going the easy life if your happy and feel successful then thats all that matters. But if you truly believe making 6 figures a year is success and your able to get there and your happy then thats great too.
Haha in those twenty years he made himself ready enough to jump for his passion .i think he made a right decision and he's enjoying. If he had followed his passion he wouldn't have been in the possession to do the things that he loves .
Bibek Bhujel Thanks for you comment Bibek. And yes, you are right in that I can live the life I do today because of the hard work and sacrifices that I made. But the point of my talk is that rather than stay on a path of unhappiness, I chose to try to find another path in life. Many "successful" people never have the courage to do so.
@bibek bhujel
That's not right, in the butterfly effect of things he could have followed his passion and still had possessions of what he loves.
@@JamieAnderson1971 If I was to think about that "follow your passion" idea, I'd probably try to make something out of myself as a musician, but one thing is musicians are not particularly known for making lots of money. The other thing I believe is that passions may also come and go... So I think it's certainly a good idea to first build up some financial safety in your life like you did. And then lots of doors are open for real, and then you can actually follow your dream without risking ending up screwed. So cheers, you're certainly someone to look up to!:)
A good history.,,,
lovely! !!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Success is able to have basic financial security and doing the things that one feel that is his life purpose. For me, I do a lot of freelance job to make money and my purpose is doing painting to spread god message.

We get purpose in life by helping other people...

@@TheRareOcelot We need to stay kind and considerate at all times... truly help people...

Defintion of anything lying in there name feeling Success of coarse it will always Sucks say kaamiyabi defintion is to work-kaam untill your body insects grow and eat you but dont be a puppet of anyone keep balancing kitni sune kitni sunaye and balance it with who have more money this is important because there is a question of money after life just BELIEVE dont leave this be positive
(. REHAB TIME! ). SUCCESS COMBS FROM KEEPING UR EARS OPEN AND UR MOUTH CLOSED. FACTS OVA FEELINGS!
💗❤
That was really great. but what about money bro??
please someone answer!
Lovely
I might quit graduate school because of this.
I wish I would have quit grad school
Success is just the accomplishment of a set goal. We may lose ourselves trying to achieve something we don't even believe in. The ultimate success is to overcome ourselves. The main obstacle could be our own persona, specially when that becomes the goal itself. I see truly successful people in those who brought a benefit to society, the ones who gave us vaccines, science and technology among so many things. I also see success in someone who brings hope and peace when we need them the most.
I dont know what i want to do
Wow
I do understand what you talking about
Wow wow wow
Success is great and shooting for the moon is great but out there in the universe there are a lot of moons so just make sure the moon you are shooting for is your own
It's like this guy can achieve anything he wants 😂

He looks live an ISTJ.
What did he do after he quit his job?
Hi Gaurav, I describe the process of moving from academic to keynote speaker, author and cyclist in my blog: jamieandersononline.wordpress.com
And you can see a bit more about my current work activities here: jamieandersononline.com
:)
Success is having a home and people to love who love you in return. Success is having the financial security to meet your obligations each month and the knowledge that you have provided that security for your family in the event of your demise.. I read about that ;)
one thing this guy never learnt which is a lofe lesson is being a salesperson.
I'm not inspired any more by speeches like this. after being on top and making tons of money,rich people decide they are not happy and will go and preach. really? after financially secure his family he goes after his childish dream and won. wow!!! good for him but something is missing here for me,there so many ppl that went after their dreams and endup unhappy and miserable...success is being able to provide and make OTHERS happy
Dear Azya, thanks for your comments. You are absolutely right - the reality is that financial stability and security is a necessity. But I would suggest that it is possible to pursue a career that can also deliver a sense of personal satisfaction - although this might mean sacrificing income maximisation. I also agree with you that success is about helping others - that is one of the reasons I share my story, and regularly speak with individuals who are trying to find their own moon.
Ignore my comment 3:53
I don't want to be soft :'v
This guy still hasn’t come to grips with reality.
What if you think happiness isn’t important and it doesn’t matter and that the whole reason why we’re miserable is because of our obsession over happiness
Speaker should work on getting to the point
This is tedtalk so you need to tedlisten lol
