How To Come Up With Good Ideas | Mark Rober | TEDxYouth@ColumbiaSC 

mark rober: i have about 100k subscribers now me from the future: wow that’s cute

The final 3 points are (if you missed them): 1. Stay Curious 2. Work Hard 3. Get Lucky

That head designer at apple is so good that he can make the exact same design 5 years in a row.

How to get lucky - Increase the amount of times you flip the coin. Increase the amount of time you get up and keep trying.

if creativity is a muscle, school has cut my tendons

Mark Rober is probably my favorite youtuber. This talk was great - thank you!

Too bad the modern average academic system diminishes creativity....

6:42 - "Headphone port? Why is that there?" - Jony Ive

Mark is the reason I have continued writing my book. Every, and I mean EVERY time I think about stopping when I'm writing, every time I doubt, Mark Rober comes up in my feed, my notifications, what have you. And every time, I keep writing. Because my idea is good enough, it is creative enough, Ya, sure maybe it's been done before, but I haven't written it yet. And maybe my version is the one the world needs. If it fails, if it flops, then too bad because I refuse to give up on this just yet.

It's crazy to see how much more confidence he has now

This guy is a genius

8 years later and Mark Rober now has over 51 million subscribers.

I cannot believe that this crowd dint clap after the infrared microwave camera ..

Anyone else here from MARK ROBER? Whoo!

This guy is awesome. It as if he really is a prodigy of science. I wonder if he ended the test after he lost the snake.

What a great and inspiring presentation. Would also like to drop of my favorite quotes of all time: "Luck is the residue of hard work" - Branch Rickey

For creativity there is a quote that helps me "you can't get something from nothing" Or "There are no original ideas"

That Alexandria thing, as far as I know, made the Library of Alexandria, which I think was supposed to hold all knowledge of the ancient world. How do I know this? “Alexa, what are you named after”

Mark Rober is now my role model

I'm impressed that he actually agrees with the notion that to succeed you need to have a little bit of luck.

"Rub your hands on the whole key pad" Me: Definitely not made in 2020

2015 mark would have a heart attack if he could see how much the channel has grown

190K subscribers... has grown into 18.3M as of today... all stems from the idea that he "enjoyed people sharing his success" amazing... what a dude - thanks for all the entertainment and teaching Mark!

Who clicked on this bc they’re a Mark Rober fan?

The camera doesn't show the slides often enough. It's kinda distracting.

The harder you work, the luckier you get, the happier you become. So hard work = happiness.

My class did the marshmallow challenge in 7th grade, and in my team, we strapped the marshmallow onto the ceiling, and we won..... Lol

When I find myself clicking the Like button and the first ad didn’t even finish, and that’s how I like Mark Rober. My favorite RU-vidr of all time. The only youtuber I let my kids watch.

iv watched this video of a scientist on youtuber that had mark in it the next video to watch was marks video and so on wait... this guy was in NASA then made a youtube video that went viral and later on he left NASA to become a full time youtuber... AWESOME

2:15 Mark Then - 190k way more than we expected Mark Now - “Rookie Numbers”

he is a really good speaker

Great talk and great subject. Opened my eyes a bit since i am very unappreciated at work for all the work i put in and the creativity i show in the kitchen and still being on a lower position then some others who are good with the superior but have literally zero creativity or imagination. I am glad i am so naturally curious about everything unlike many people i met. This video gave me such a great motivation and morale boost so thanks for that.

What’s wrong with an older idea if it is still applicable and people are generally happy with it? How many were complaining about the lack of Internet before 1990? I sure wasn’t. I miss my pre-internet brain and have become thoroughly dependent on the internet now for just about everything. Progress always hurts and helps at the same time. Rober is a unique character. He’s found a way to tap into his creativity and share it with the world and profit from it. He’s not the only YTuber doing this but is by far one of its most financially successful. I’m glad he’s now inspiring children with STEM content and I hope a few engineers are indeed born out of their experience learning from Mark. But society as a whole can’t work with millions of people spending their time being creative and failing multiple times before they finally arrive at the creation of their dreams. Society would literally fall apart. We need people to do jobs that are repetitive and actually work by providing a service that helps people with their problems. Rober is extremely lucky that he can earn a living based on creative failing.

I had a teacher outright say to me "you're not a creative person." Every time I sit down to write for pay, it's a middle finger flipped at that teacher.

Thomas Edison came up with 10.000 light bulbs before he stole the Tesla's bulb that actually worked

Mark: you are my greatest inspiration ever, you have inspired my love of science. Thank you for everything.

The snake - turtle experiment was really fun to watch like how crazy did people react in it. That guy literally put the rubber snake in his car... maybe he was assuming someone to come and say "hey, that's mine" similar to what happened when we as kids, broke up things and then just flew away. So, he was like "I'm not giving it back until you come and start pleading"

Bro no way. Wait a few years. You will see my name everywhere. You gave me a groundbreaking idea 6 minutes in the vid 🗣💯

When are we getting that microwave?

mark roper is so smart! he should be an inspiration to all!

Hello someone that got this in your recommendations at 2 a.m and getting weirdly motivated.

You are such a boss! Just a good guy trying to be a help to the society!

Very interesting speech! At the end what I take away from this video is: "always be positive in the path to your goals". Thank you! Stay safe!

Just by watching this I was able to come up with so many ideas. What a great lesson

And now he has 12.3 MILLION

Yessssss new person to watch and learn from.

this dude is solid - at one point though he sounds like the surfer-dude on tosh "pitted... so pitted" - but either way - this dude crushes and has a talented mind

I love this. And the presentation is as creative as the subject matter. Practice what you preach

My problem Isn't ideas. Its fufiling them

Thank you TED-X for invited wonderful people to have their speeches

I LOVE THAT GUY!!!!!

Really good example with the coin flip

Ive been watching this guy for like a couple of months, but he has always ben my hero. Great video

I love marks channel , i subscribed years ago and now im addicted to watching ted talks...wish me luck

Now it is 4.5 million subscribers

This was very good and unexpected, thank you

Mark Rober is probably the smartest person I have ever seen. No doubt one of the best youtubers on the platform. I'm curious have his is so smart and still does not seem to be arrogant at all.. although he might be in real life i dont know.

Very well done. Perseverance seems to be the key.

The funny aspects are that all of our parents told this to us. Try, always ask, be curious, if you want to achieve something you can. But you have to keep on trying Learn from your failures. We always thought:" yes keep on talking" and now there is this guy and tells us exactly the same with a power point and a smile on the face. And we all think. " Oh wow! He is a genious. Yes I will do it exaxtly like he tells us. " At this point I want to excuse me to my parents not being able to follow their advices.

"We're up all night to get lucky" Somebody contact Pharrell lol

Great talk n very inspiring. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.

A brand new idea agency is on the block!! Imagine bureau. We help you get ideas now by using brilliant creative techniques.

5 years ago and I still haven't seen the heat sensor microwave anywhere 😭

Mark is quite dorky. But I love his channel. He's incredibly smart, creative, and stuffs.

Mark Rober took creativity to another level 🤩🤩🤩

Wow, what a clever guy! And so likable.

TRYING TO DO SOME SCIIIENNNCE!

As a kid Its easy for me to make ideas but it's impossible to execute them

Some of his reaserch was about getting lucky and that reminded me of this podcast i listen to called how i built this with guy raz and the thing that is so interesting is that no matter how hard or long or short the struggle was for them the people he interviewed always cameout at the end with something they could have never imagined would be possible. Like how mark rober was amazed at how many subscribers he had then but he kept on working hard and now has over 13million subscribers . Much support for him and others

It helps to know people too. Good ideas made in the vacuum of space mean nothing to nobody. But an OK idea that is receptive to some people you know, and they support you, it could take off and be successful. Social Proof is everything.

Fight on Mark!

Good content, I really like Mark Rober, it's a shame the PowerPoint screenshots weren't all shown on this video.

Being consistent with the process, learn from failure and don't always question the results

Mark Rober is awsome and an insperation he de best

I invented the HyperDisc it uses the smallest wavelengths and has a 3d design with crevices.

The average student in the American school system loses about 90 percent of creativity and curiosity by the time they graduate high school.

This talk was my favorite. Your doing great rober

Now this is a TED Talk that everybody should watch.

I discovered I liked pizza and now I'm a pro pizza eater

"Go and fail and learn" -Mark Rober, 2015

Wow! Love this! Thank you for sharing your insight into this topic :)

The best part it you go behind the idea.. And actually do something about it

But how you fight imposter syndrome? How do you recognize that your ideas are good, and you’re not just thinking so because “you’re full of yourself”? I struggle with this.

I love his youtube channel. I am just curious about the man behind the camera... Was he to some extend blind?

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

Mark Rober is a creative genius

10:39 It was good right? and that was, like, a SUCKcess XDXD

I came up with the idea of making a horse a unicorn in french class

Listening to this guy makes me feel smart

You're gifted and hard working

Everyone liked that.

Mark Rober !??!? why is this is my recommendation so late 2 years after!??!

Genius ideas Mark. Love It!

Mark is a legend❤️🙌

People actually go out of their way to run over animals, that's really messed up.12:11

"Disclaimer: I am not claiming to be some amazing creative genius" You're joking right?

ohh, this legend gave a TED talk again. I am so excited!

what a bless to meet you on RU-vid...

Mark rober: doing a presentation Five years later mark rover: doing a live stream “This is terrifying” Me:” Wow!😐🙄

The modern school system is terrible for the future of humanity because it teaches everyone to think the same way. 90 percent of the time, that may be the most efficient, but that other 10 percent nobody can do anything about it because they all have the same approach. I know it is hard to teach so many kids when most of them don't even care about school but they should at least make the standards less strict and more flexible
