I had a professor during my undergrad who assigned a 40% essay with no topic. She said, "write about whatever interests you, but make it interesting." I honestly thought it would break me, but it's one of the best papers I've written to this day.

Stop trying to lose weight for a extrinsic reward like looking good at the beach. Instead, get lean due to it being a life goal, master the skill of getting lean for life, and help others around you get lean when they ask.

This theory connects with our education system as well. I believe schools are failing in motivating students to perform higher level thinking or even any thinking at all. Grades act as incentives/rewards in the same way as money, etc. Teachers should focus on guiding students and motivate students to believe there is a purpose to the work they are doing to stimulate higher cognitive thinking. Some teachers do, some don't. However, this does not mean the grading system should be replaced, because high school kids are much younger and underdeveloped compared to adults in the work force. They need more rules and guidance to stay on task, but still a level of freedom that allows them to find their own reasons or motivation.

In addition to this being an insightful, thought-provoking talk, Dan Pink’s presentation skills are engaging, captivating, and effective. He makes skillful use of humor, including some subtle self-deprecating jokes. He pauses before certain punch lines. His confidence is impressive. Excellent speaker.

A fascinating topic (admittedly like most TED talks)... I feel that the concept would apply really well to fitness, another major problem of our time. When you eat well and exercise for an extrinsic reward, losing twenty pounds, getting abs, fitting in a couple sizes smaller, its easy to lose interest, to get discouraged, to stop. When the reward becomes intrinsic, when you enjoy exercise, and when eating well becomes a habit you prefer to eating like crap, then consistency - and results - come a lot easier. A pet theory on my part but it makes sense to me.

Dan hooks his audience in the first 15 seconds by arousing their curiosity (with his "I have a confession to make..")! Masterfully done! A great way to start his speech / presentation...

This is amazing as I always associated motivation with money and company benefits. When I was in one company, I was so unhappy and believed that I needed promotion. however, I can now relate to the fact that all I wanted was recognition. If I was recognised for my achievements, I would not have resigned from the company. Insightful indeed

This concept also relates to school and the education system. You do well on a test or you need to do homework to get a good grade, but what the education system should do instead is to tell the kids that learning is for you. That you don't just come to school because you need to, do so because you want to. You want to master your learning, not waste 20 plus years on something you don't even think is important...
