This is very well done. The idea of taking the skills you have acquired and then being clear about who you are, what is priceless to you (as opposed to valuable), getting free of the unimportant, and then taking an active stance and using your circle of influence to get going (as opposed to apathy) . This is a very valuable video, for it shows how three very successful people (I mean, you don't get to be vice president of Proctor and Gamble without being smart and successful) chose to focus on what was priceless and give that gift to others. This was amazing.
Productivity is a word whose meaning should be clarified. In reality this conference is just a trick to make people believe that they have to retire even later. Another conference could explain exactly the opposite by talking about solidarity and the right to a personal life.
Lol this is called shifting your own failures and responsibility in life making it okay to be where you are at this very time in life...... its all a game and feeling better about what u think are failures are infact lessons learned... your success in life can only be measuted by the amount of failures......
WHAT were you watching? Obviously not this video. The three examples in the video were ALL very financially successful and had it all together. There wasn't a "failure" among them. SMH. But they learned to not focus on what was "valuable" and instead focus on what was *priceless* and that made a change not only in their world, but in their entire community.
Good, but some leftwing dribble about masculinity, racism--which is kosher for liberal pedagogues. Everyone has contradictions-even Christ--but it sounds cool to demonize a great writer because he had character flaws--like everyone has.
First of all, I am a Republican, but there's nothing in this video about what you mentioned. Instead it is a lesson on pulling focus to what you find priceless vs what is valuable. There's nothing in here about racism, etc. I think you need to watch this again. SMH
"Don't trade what is priceless for what is valuable" So true and so powerful
Highly underrated talk should have more views
This is gold! Ideas are flowing for when I retire from my first profession in 2026.
Lloyd did an excellent job articulating the Second Half. Thank you.
Powerful line "what stage, what page or what age"

I have been "retired" for 12 years now and I can't say that any of that rings true for myself or anyone I know...
But it was a nice story!
Lloyd, Thank you!
Thank you for an insightful message, Floyd. Sharing it.
This is by far the best TED talk I ever heard.
