How do creative people come up with great ideas? Organizational psychologist Adam Grant studies “originals”: thinkers who dream up new ideas and take action to put them into the world. In this talk, learn three unexpected habits of originals — including embracing failure. “The greatest originals are the ones who fail the most, because they’re the ones who try the most,” Grant says. “You need a lot of bad ideas in order to get a few good ones.”

"…. habits of originals and how to be more like them.." that is so original.
We(team of 5) were procrastinating till it was just 2hrs to our presentation on a topic, and our team’s presentation was the best. ?
Tbh and I am not lying . I procastinated to watch this video for like 6 months until today I finally played this from my watch later
clap clap clap clap
I KNEW my procrastination wasn't a weakness! ?
I dunno, I’ve had a lot of ideas that seemed like good ideas and didn’t pan out, and I feel like people use that as evidence to think I’m a failure ?
On the other hand, I can’t help myself. Trying is like a sick, self-sabotaging addiction. It’s going to happen regardless of whether other people support it.
I do finally have a business now but it’s not going very well. Time will tell, I suppose.
People seem to think “creativity” is akin to genius. I would say it’s closer to a mental defect. It’s not a fun thing to be afflicted by, but what can you do?
The groove
Just the boost I needed Thanks TEd and Yt
Frozen…trap your special unique child in a room and separate her from all of humanity while letting her self-doubt and fear grow and grow, rather than teach her to harness her powers and be proud of how unique she is. Please, someone, tell me if my perspective of the movie is wrong…please.

Me coming back to this vdo after I saved it to watch later 2 months back….. ?
THIS IS THE MAN.
I procrastinate because there could be so much to do? Why limit myself?
-By delaying the task upto a respectable limit, we leave ourselves open to ideas and modifications.
-1st mover advantage is a myth
-Procrastination may decrease productivity but it benefits creativity.
-Originals are early to start but slow to finish
-Originals look confident but behind the scene they have the same fear as everyone
– Study : People who use non default internet browsers like chrome over default browsers tend to be more original than other people as they had the confidence to doubt the default. This doubt is what drives creativity.
Vujade – when you see something for many times and all of a sudden see it from fresh eyes
(Opp of vujade)
-Originals are fear of failing. But they are even more afraid of failing to try. They know that in the long run the biggest regrets are not their actions but their inactions
– You are not judged by your bad ideas.
Originals have lots and lots of bad ideas.
– The greatest originals are the ones who fail the most, coz they are the ones who try the most.
– If we have to be original, we have to generate more ideas
So originals also have fear, bad ideas, they procrastinate but it is because of these qualities that they succeed
You can motivate yourself by doubting your ideas and embracing your fears of not trying
BEING ORIGINAL IS NOT EASY, BUT IT IS THE BEST WAY TO CHANGE THE WORLD AROUND US.
???
Not all medicine work on everyone. Find the best that suits you
6:30 some of the divergents he took
8:20 it's much easier to improve on someone else's idea rather than starting from scratch
Be different and better
"To be original you don't have to be first you just have to be different and better" ?❤
aaa
i started procrastinating the video when he start talking about it….. yeah i think i'm an original
How many people knows about or are into crypto
Adam Grant is very inspirational.
Mr Gant makes me examine my prejudices above everything. I remember the first time I listened to kendrick lamar. I couldn't stand his voice. Sounded like a mouse squeaking. I much preferred the smoother voices of J cole et al, or masculine voices of ice cube or dmx. Nut as time passed I started to embrace kendrick. The message is the key. Adam Grant is similar for me. I can't stand his accent, the way he talks. But it doesn't matter, because in the end the message is what is important.
It may not be procrastination…
There was a Calvin&Hobbs cartoon where Mom tells him to make his bed and he goes about trying to invent something to make his bed.
What a great perspective… balanced, relatable. Invites you to be forgiving of yourself and persistent. ?
Not procrastination but letting go and coming back giving your ideas the time to age.
Thanks. That made me accept myself much more 🙂
Indie game development in a nutshell.
I am a highly creative (i.e. high quality thinker rather than just high-volume driveller) person so I can confirm much of this. BUT it is very far from true that critically creative people churn out a lot of duds. Beethoven and Bach were characterised by the consistent high quality of their works. Likewise there are no low-quality works in the Mozart sonatas, though M did churn out numerous rather unbrilliant symphonies before about the k200s. Meanwhile others like Czerny produced 100s of things really not worth remembering – high volume low quality.
What is certain is that you cannot learn or be taught how to be a genius. You either are so doomed, or you are not. There are no courses you can take and no qualifications you can gain to prove your competence. For a genius to be recognised there has to be a society capable of doing that recognising. All too often there isn't.
I AM AN ORIGIONAL
They are not procrastinating. Creative ideas just dont obey deadlines and mental frameworks.
