Building a Life - Howard H. Stevenson (2013)

Sir, what is wrong with Lady Gaga? Her life seems to be inspiring.

great lecture!

this is real

So easy for smart people to talk about success. I'm too dumb for society

Who is that Eric who wrote the book, who said "Everyone’s outside looks better than my inside"? And what book did he write?

The bit that's standing out for me is the bit where he talks about how it's important to have a sense of enough, as that enables you to enjoy achievement more and move on to the next falling ball you're juggling.
If anyone happens to know exactly where that bit is, and can send me a timestamp, that would be much appreciated!

Thank you

This man loves Trump….

This ?? THIS CHICANERY ???

👏 This has been a great spotlight to watch. Indeed, now thinking about it, old days mom depended so much on Reader’s Digest ( in the mail). In line with that, we are so fortunate to have leading Universities post their valuable knowledge (both in theory and action) so unconditionally!

Equally, I find the comments here - those posted 10 years ago and even those posted so recently - so experienced & so hands on! 👏

I watch a lot of videos and rarely comment. This video though really stuck me - I still think of it's message at least once week

God bless you Professor.

This man was beefing with Trump before it was cool

Insightful.

What’s wrong with being a family counsellor? His grandchild contributes more to society than his damn hedge fund ever did.

very helpful please upload more lectures.

Too bad we can’t see the slides!

He lost me when he said he started one of the first hedge funds

Good evening

Good afternoon sir

A girl in her 24,is confused, she have a good leadership and acadmic records and always willing to help people but she doesn't know what she should continues and she is passionate about.
The thing is most of the persons are not successful because they can't imagine and know their skills and passion.

Am I the only one who didn't get much out of it?
Seeing the comment section I almost feel bad that I didn't get the big enlightenment from it like others

Man's life and business mind......

Am sure this is another form of enlightenment

👍

The most impressive thing i heard here, is the 72 year friend who beats his college tennis player son.

I believe what the Bible says over this guy. The two only commands are, "love the Lord your God with all of your heart soul, mind and strength, and your neighbor as yourself". Funny, nothing is mentioned about God or Jesus about how we should be measured.

Listened to the whole 57 minutes. A lot of pointless and random wise words(and Roast of Donald Trump) but not a very concise lecture. Could have been better in terms of structure.

Yeah but what if you were a writer all growing up, and you wanted to continue writing as a profession. This guy realizes people make a living as writers right?

So many attacks on Donald Trump, a bit arrogant imo

This guy drops quotable phrases every 2 minutes damn, what a speech.

this is one of the best videos I have just watched today... thanks for sharing ,,,,

You know someone's about to share some wisdom when they start off by saying they've already died! In all honesty, great talk, I am still amazed by the fact that we have so many valuable resources available to us... truly grateful!

It's better to watch it twice(or even thrice)
Because he talked about nearly everything and you are not able to hold these information at once

I started building my life about 3 days after I was conceived.

I liked how he warned us about Trump 3 years early

"nothing wrong with money, but the riches of your life won’t be measured by it".

we actually would do WELL to look up to lady gaga compared to some of these others.. anyways...

Wow. This guy hates Donald Trump.

I like these lectures except the comedy , I have taken an hour out of my precious time to learn from your knowledge not your occasional stories and jokes - I already have a grandpa for that.

I hope you’re proud of your family counselor daughter. Seemed to gloss over her after saying 2 business children made out well lol

Marry a happy person! So true. This man has lots of wisdom to share.

Could of been summarized in 5 minutes.

We need more lectures like this one. His emphasise that life is like juggling balls I.e. areas of your life is the most practical. This along with knowing what you want from all the balls you are juggling is essential.

Very kind of you not to want your kids to be raped like Lady Gaga was.

Finally someone that doesn't try to sound like a wise ass and can actually teach us to understand better.

Bring up Trump again
