TED & Tim Ferris

Just recently I discovered TED. The idea is really good and lot of people like Al Gore, Shai Agassi (For head of Tech. in SAP) and others present their innovative ideas in the event. Lot of extra-ordinary people share their life experiences. I just viewed this video : How to feel like Incredible Hulk and the speaker was Tim Ferris. He shares his method of overcoming greatest fears of his life in this talk.

Some of his quotes from his book 4-Hour Workweek about productivity

"To enjoy life, you don't need fancy nonsense, but you do need to control your time and realize that most things just aren't as serious as you make them out to be."

--- Tim Ferris

"A person's success in life can usually be measure by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have."

--- Tim Ferris

"If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think."

--- Tim Ferris
