How to Achieve at Overachieving | Leeza Petrov | TEDxPhillipsAcademyAndover 

I am an over achiever. I did it on my terms, and at my own capability. I did it for me. Not for society, or for validation. This was a personal journey.

Her tonality is perfect, in my opinion. I was addicted pretty much instantly.

Define Over achieving ? It's wanting to please everybody else but you. That is a Passion killer. That is ''Culture''...It's a marketing tool that brings false expectations. She is right. Passion does not walk on other people's head. It bring people together.. Ambition does not care. Passion does not. Ambition comes from the head. Passion comes from heart.

Brilliant Talk. This is a definitely a societal problem across the lifespan. I feel that way myself since I started my journey in occupational therapy school. I had a fair share of achievements (including going on the TEDx stage on the second time later this month). However, I also had my fair share of rejections. In the last 2 years, I truly thought over what you said in the beginning. I have let my disappointments go and viewed them as blessing in disguise for opportunities that perhaps fit me better in any way. Because of my change in viewing achievements, I actually won a bigger prize... in growing more professionally than when I started occupational therapy school and being too achievement driven.

Beautiful impressive amazing soul . Great inspiring talk. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true

Truly thought provoking. Loved her oratory skills, but more importantly, her wisdom.

One of my favorite ted talks.

I've been looking for this videos the Last 2 years ❤️

Good talk and very well spoken :)

POWERFUL!

I was doin my homework, i think i'm gonna let it go , such a good advice

Being an overachiever is not a bad thing though. That meaning is you are immersed enough to do something you really want. If you need some rest, go for it. Simple solution. There isn't much love in the school that we are passionate about, but still, we got to do them.

Brilliant talk- take a break for your soul's sake.
