(In no specific ranking order)
1. Admiral Bill McRaven's Commencement Speech at University of Texas at Austin
U.S. Navy Admiral and University of Texas at Austin alumnus Bill McRaven returned to his alma mater last week to give seniors 10 lessons from basic SEAL training when he spoke at the school's commencement. McRaven - the commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command and organized the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
Do not mistake this as just another 'commencement talk'; if India respected our soldiers and had the notion of 'commencement speeches' in our colleges, then am sure we would be hearing some of the best experiences from our borders, but till then, lets resort to the most developed nation doing the honors.
2. Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) at IBM Connect 2014
On the topic of success, based on his new book: How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big.
Cartoonists are the new self-help gurus/motivational speakers with no sugar-coating and full of sense.
3. Simon Sinek: Why Leaders Eat Last
Why are leaders so so awsum? And why you should know the difference between 'leadership' and 'leader' and 'authority'.
4. 'What-If' by Randall Munroe (of xkcd)
Web cartoonist Randall Munroe answers simple what-if questions ("what if you hit a baseball moving at the speed of light?") using math, physics, logic and deadpan humor. In this charming talk, a reader's question about Google's data warehouse leads Munroe down a circuitous path to a hilariously over-detailed answer.
Something that many of us lack : Curiosity, Power of imagination and rational thought-processes.
5. Mike Monteiro - How Designers Destroyed the World
Profanity that makes so much sense! A must-watch for all 'makers', 'creators', 'innovators', 'designers' etc.
Bonus video:
Alberto Cairo(author of 'The Functional Art') , at Tapestry-2014, hits hard at the present day world of journalism and data-visualization.
