The Subtle Secret of Success: Karthik's TEDx Talk

[Anupam Goli]

I just got around to watching this, and I've got to say, this talk really rung a familiar bell. I personally was able to relate to a lot of the examples for each talking point that Karthik made. I cannot begin to describe how inspirational "good competition" can be. Thank you, Karthik, for the very inspirational homework distraction.

"And, if you are not enthusiastic about something you are destined to be average ... "

This quote is perfect. You really separate those who've got it and those who don't when this scares you to the core.

Average may be a stop along the journey, but it would make a terrible final destination.

Inspirational words from an inspirational person.

I have learned a lot from Karthik in the many years I have known him. I think this video speaks volumes about his character and wisdom.

That is an awesome talk, especially in front of a college crowd - great job, Karthik! Thank you for sharing this, Libby! I have been a fan of what Karthik and the other mentors have done up North, Simbotics is one of those teams who make FIRST successful by sharing thier experinces with the FRC community - and they always come to win...and often do!

Thanks to everyone for the kind words, it means more than you can imagine. This talk is especially applicable to FIRSTers on a lot of different levels. The response from the community has been truly humbling. I'm glad people enjoyed it, and thanks to everyone for helping spread the word.
