A favorite TED Talk of mine, when ideas have sex…

I have seen a couple of videos Salman Khan has made on YouTube as well as his videos on Khan Academy—he’s a great educator. However, what he presents here will change the future of how your kids and grandkids are educated—I guarantee.

I guess I’m late to the game, but I just watched the OK GO – This Too Shall Pass, music video and how it was made. Adam Sadowsky gave a TED talk about what he learned from creating it and I like the lessons he learned and how they apply to work and life. I thought it was a cool video to share with the nice life/work lessons. The music video was inspired or based on a Rube Goldberg Machine. I think its pretty awesome. You can see the original music video in high-quality 1080p HD or watch the video at the end of the T.E.D. talk below.

Why do you do what you do? Why do you believe what you believe? These are all questions we should be asking ourselves whether we are running a company, or living our individual lives. I believe that people really need to focus on why they are doing what they do and less on the results of what they do (paycheck/profit/gratification/acceptance).

Simon Sinek really wraps it up perfectly in this T.E.D. talk, and I couldn’t put it better. I would recommend that anyone who owns a company or is in a position of leadership to watch this video. In fact, I would wish that everyone watch the video.
