Life Lessons from TED Talks


In a recent TED Talk, I saw a presentation by Stefan Sagmeister. He gave some very specific life lessons that I thought were worth passing on. Take the ones that apply or appeal to you. If you haven’t explored TED Talks. I would highly recommend you do so.

Being not truthful works against me.
• Helping others helps me.
• Organizing a charity group is surprisingly easy.
• Everything I do always comes back to me.
• Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on.
• Over time, I get used to everything and start taking it for granted.
• Money does not make me happy.
• Traveling alone is helpful for a new perspective on life.
• Assuming is stifling.
• Keeping a diary supports my personal development.
• Trying to look good limits my life.
• Worrying solves nothing.
• Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doses.
• Having guts always works out for me.
