It’s been quiet on my blog for a while (more on that later), but I figure this is worth sharing.
I watched this talk on the surprising nature of motivation as a standard TED talk (guy out front of audience), but this version beats it hands down for visual stimulation as well as retaining the verbal.

And some other wisdom (lot shorter) on motivation from the movie “Office Space”:

    Different and thought provoking, to be sure!!
    2 things (maybe 3/4?)
    – I’m visually exhausted!
    (Love to see it done in front of me in real life, to see if it’s possible.)
    – Kept trying to put my finger on what it was about the sound, until T asked me if I was watching a religious thing.
    (Interesting,huh? : ) )

    Well, it’s a lecture talk, so that’s why it sounds a bit echoey and preachy. The guy gave a TED talk on a similar topic, not sure if it was exactly the same, but pretty close (as with all those “I’ve got an idea and going to hit the road telling people about it” people)
