Zero to Success in 3 Minutes

I am a big fan of the blog Presentation Zen created by Garr Reynolds. Today’s entry was on three minute presentations. The first presentation was by Richard St. John who answers the question “Why do people succeed?” in three minutes at the TED conference.

The presentation is based on St. john’s book, Stupid, Ugly, Unlucky and Rich: Spike’s Guide to Success. First the presentation is excellent merging graphics nd content in an excellent manner. The content is also spot on. St. John’s guide to success follows the following elements:

• Passion
• Work
• Focus
• Persist
• Ideas
• Good
• Push
• Serve

The quote I like the best is:

“Push yourself. Physically, mentally, you gotta push, push, push.” – David Gallo, Marine Scientist.

I ordered up this booky goodness on Amazon so I will have more for you once I get it. Has anyone read this? What did you think?
