The biggest mistake ....COMPARISON. .. "Comparing our own weaknesses with the strength of others"

One of the greatest Bangladeshi's ever

my God, these are the people GOD has bestowed his favour, you can't imagine

Salman Kahn for President!

Go make history!

Marvellous. As soon as I started watching this I thought, God I would love to go to Harvard just to immersed in this kind of quality of thought, it seems like it's filled with people like me, and I realised that sitting here, in London, watching this video I already am - in a synthetic, though nonetheless real way. I think Khan Academy is brilliant, having just checked it out. As a musician and entrepreneur I want to change the world, and I think that tapping into these kind of networks will really help me achieve that!

He's my hero.

Great Vision Salman Khan...We need to believe in Day Dreams..Go Make History !!!

This is exactly what I needed to hear today.

WoW..!! Hero of 21st century..!!!

THE . BEST . SPEECH. EVER . sal has been a great teacher, the last minute savior from the class test apocalypse a mentor and a role model toe for many years now, and I have never personally met him...it is true what he says .....this is the awakening of humanity....

thx slaman khan I passed every grade in math and science

Truly an inspiration, such a visionary.

If you have not become familiarized with Khan Academy and this is your first introduction to "what can be done", take a look. Sal suggests that we (endeavor) to teach 100% of the worlds population. Naïve - no, purposeful and while likely very difficult to do, we would be short sighted indeed not to attempt the task. In the world today it is the lack of education (not learning to the highest degree), but learning to understand and in that understanding knowing that others will use our lack of knowledge and naivety to turn us against one another to accomplish their task, whatever that might be. Well done Sal! Well done Harvard! Well done America!

sal khan the bae forever and always

if not him , then for whom is the noble prize for??

How a human could be this intelligent and multitasker?

incredible

At about 17:00 I started getting really really excited. "You're grand children and based on what is likely to happen in medicine your great-great grandchildren as well will ask you what it was like to be alive at the dawn of our awakening of our civilization and what you did to catalyze it." That is just extraordinary! I feel a sense of purpose igniting a generation to GO MAKE HISTORY!

Motivating

I respect you, Khan!!^^

Legendary!

Bravo.

who is the taiwanese pop star that he has mentioned?

nice.

Respect++;

I love Sal and he is one of my mentors! However, in the last months I'm thinking about what is his view on the specific problems of environment (oceans, forests, soil), climate change and earth biodiversity that we are now starting to confront. It's a fact, I think no one can argue about that. At 14:56 he says "money not as a superficial scoreboard of success but a command over resources to make the world a better place.", and I totally agree with the principle, but I'm unsure about the methods and who will be the privileged - only us, human beings, or all our biodiversity. I really want to know what are Sal's thoughts about this topic, I can't find any information on the web. (sorry for my english, I'm a 24 year old portuguese guy from Lisbon).

"Let's change this to a different color"

Nice speech as expected but with all due respect what business does a Taiwanese pop star have at HBS?

Everybody Loves Raymond.

underwhelming and sobering reception from the audience at the end
