TEDxShanghaiSalon - Power of the Mind 

I'm developing a habit of always watching a Kobe Bryant interview each time I need to recharge my mamba mentality.

"I'm sitting there, 70, 80 years old...." Oh, Kobe. We wish.

What made Kobe special wasn’t just his incredible talent on the court but how he shared his knowledge for a greater human success...RIP

Life Lessons 5:27 Confidence comes from preparation. 6:40 Mamba mentality means constantly being the best version of yourself. 14:40 Give yourself more time to train / prepare for what you want. 20:21 You can’t shortchange yourself 30:49 Build resiliency by looking at every challenge from every step. 33:57 Being fearless means putting yourself out there and going for it no matter the outcome. 36:26 Discover YOUR purpose and center your life around it.

5 Pillars: Passion Obsession Relentlessness Resilience Fearlessness

That interviewer should shut his mouth when Legend Kobe is speaking

Watching every kobe interview rn

Kobe is super intelligent

We lost a legend today, but your spirit has touched millions and you will forever live on. RIP Kobe Bean Bryant.

Instead of criticizing the host, which does nothing to benefit you. Focus on what Kobe Bryant is giving us, his knowledge and if you pay attention you can see the tremendous value. -Thank you for reading

I love how calm he is and how he embodies stillness. He has a dream mindset. It’s like every effort he makes is done because it makes sense to him that this is what he has to do in order to become the best player in the world so he does it. Non negotiable. It’s had but it’s simple.

kobe is a super sayian not even joking here

Title needs to change to "TEDxShanghaiSalon - Kobe listens to host talk about him"

36:26 is the best advice anyone could give and it's not said as often as it should be said.

I come back to this video to say thank you to Kobe, this inspired me to become the best version of myself. Long live the Mamba

His life is cut too short!! A brilliant person, so down to earth, an observer of the world, hard working, we all must learn from him!!!!

I listened to this the night before he died. This is my first time listening to it since.

I'm studying for nursing school and I teared up when Kobe mentioned the box analogy. Truly the 🐐

Also, I liked this interviewer. He genuinely likes Kobe and is a fan.

Wow. He's so wise and amazing but perhaps what's more amazing is his humbleness!

Miss this guy. Forever will be someone to strive after

Kobe Bryant and his Mamba Mentality lessons have taught me....if I have the right mindset and a strong work ethic, I can change my future for the better!

He could have possibly been the best motivational speaker to the youths all over the world! What a legend!

14:00 thanks kobe for the edvice

At 39 min Kobe speaks of the evolution of his goals. When he was young he aimed to be the best ever to do it - that was his primary motivating factor. Then his career progressed he realized that no matter what he did everyone would have an opinion on who is "the best ever" so it's a subjective goal. He began to focus on his teammates. He went from 'me' to 'we, how can we be the best we can be. ' Inspiring others.

I feel like I could listen to Kobe talk about one thing all day and still not get bored

Listening to Kobe talking it comes to me that his approach was that of a genius and that he could have been the best in just anything he'd decided to pick up. What a gift he was to this world. He'll be for ever missed.

14:05-15:24 is the difference between champions and people that go thru the motions or just enough to get by... I wish I would have learned this kind of mentality as a kid, because life would have turned out differently for me, in basketball. But still, applying that kind of mentality to any aspect of life, will still separate you from those that only do enough to get by... LeBron is my favorite player, outside of T-Mac, but you have to respect the Mamba Mentality!

I like how Kobe explained that his goal changed as he grew. Being the best became superficial. It grew into how he can edify his team. Then it grew into how he could inspire others. #Growth #Mamba

RIP black mamba, we miss you already.

@8:33. In a odd way, his departure from this life has now brought life to people that were dead in their mind or purpose, and this will ultimately effect the world in a broader stroke than he could have ever imagined

5:25-5:56 Confidence comes from preparation 6:35 -8:18-What is Mamba Mentality? 5 pillars of Mamba Mentality 1) Being Passionate 2)Being Obsessive 3) Being Relentless 4)Being Resilient 5) Being Fearless 8:56-10:04-Meaning of Passion for Kobe Bryant 13:21:Be Obsessive 14:21-What to do when you want to be the greatest in you field.

The way Kobe answers EVERY question shows just how strong his ambition to really be the GOAT and how strong his mentality has become through the process

I keep finding more Kobe interviews..amazing every time!

This is my favourite Kobe interview / appearance. I literally downloaded this video because I got so much value from his thoughts. RIP 🟣🟡

RIP Legend! We lost you too soon! but the life lessons you shared will always remain in our hearts and minds.

Kobe is such a great guy, he has more patience than I have for this guy asking all of these questions and not letting Kobe talk. Hey Shanghai, I want to hear what Kobe has to say not what you have to say because Kobe is the most important person you have to own your show and to interview, so lighten up, take a chill pill, just let Kobe talk. I need to hear him speak every day if possible. Thank you for sharing. God bless. Kobe, may he RIP.

i am a journalist and will use this video to train other interviewers on what not to do!

The interviewer did a very good job of bringing out the right questions for Kobe to answers, stop hating guys, he just doing his job.

the confidence comes from preparation. i am not asking myself to do smth i havent done thousand times before.

He's got that real substance, not only in sports.

@ 32:35 min when kobe says at 78 years old he's wondering whether he could have came back from his achilles injury...hits right in the feels. Gone way too soon. The only thing this man was dedicated to was basketball and his family. Forever a legend, now immortalized forever. RIP Kobe and Gigi.

Kobe was a great role model!. One of my favorite players after MJ23. He inspiring me to be better an better everyday in my life!. May God bless you and you beautiful daughter Gigi as well. Rest in peace!.

so wise and peaceful and inspiring ...thank you Kobe

Ill forever reference this video. Rest in Peace Kobe

After seeing a Nipsey and or Kobe interview we should be more and more equipped to succeed towards bettering ourselves in this life.

I see a lot people criticize the interviewer, I think he's great. He was able to get a lot more talk from Kobe. Kobe was a man of few words. Kudos to him.

the host talks more than Kobe although this interview is for kobe

Thank you Kobe for being a source of inspiration and a role model to so many generations

MAN WE MISS YOU MAMBA. You always bring me back to being motivated when I watch your videos. RIL THE GOAT

😭😭 God bless you Kobe & Gigi ... its hard to understand why you were taken . I believe you are still doing your work ... you woke the world . we are not promised another minute . ❤️ Miss you ❤️

Interviewer asked very good questions. Of all the people that die it’s always the Greatest who go too soon. I’ll miss you Kobe!!! ❤️

One of the best insights on mindsets!

RIP Kobe and Gigi....you changed the game and we will carry on your legacy

He's so humble and sport geeky here. It's amazing!! Never saw that side of him. What a gift of life he shared with everyone.

5 years ago on this day simply amazing and helpful

Rest In Paradise KING! MAMBA MENTALITY FOREVER!

Love this Mamba Mentality. I play pool and really never knew Kobe as I really never watched basketball. I only discovered his motivation since his death. This stuff helps me practice better and therefore play better.

Miss you brody, thanks for your wisdom and great memories growing up

I WILL PAYPAL SOMEONE LIKE $15 to edit this nicely to where you can only hear Kobe talk, like I don’t even want to hear the questions

So many great lessons here! I’ve watched this one three times (just like all of Kobe’s interviews) and always take something away. Protect your dreams; put in the work so those moments under the lights become second-nature; and elevate expectation through your personal work-ethic and vision.

Don't let this interview go over your head

Thank you for your life Kobe. I had a dream about him and that dream made me do some research on him beyond basketball and that helped me in dirt and dark place I was in. I realized it’s ok to be in that dark place as long as you’re working hard on yourself to get out. There will be pain but you have to find a way to bare that pain. You work on yourself the same way you do at any craft you want to master. You must master yourself, that’s the most important mastery of all. Thats the hero’s journey. That’s the message I got. I hope I can learn more so I can find more tools to get out into the light. That will be my win, my own personal 5,6,7 championship rings. Thank you for your life 🙏

Kobe is a cool ass dude definitely my favorite player and philosopher since Bruce Lee

What an amazing mindset. Let's try every day to get better and we can rest at the end not in the middle!

i was waiting from long time to understand mamba mentality ... one of the best interview to learn from ... must watch...!!

I searched for this interview alot thank you so much for posting

I needed this! Mamba mentality lets go

I have so much peace in my heart because I know that my father knew how to meditate before he passed away about a year ago! This is the way he says if I ever want to see him that's where I'll meet him in the place of meditation what a very beautiful thing I have much peace with that and I do understand what it means

Love this dude! Thanks Kobe.

So great he can even give u parenting advice..this is some of the best insight I ever heard in my life, my son needs this info

expose them as many things as possible. passion is still in the change.

His a legend and a hero because he never lost focus of himself ❤.

Kobe is a good listener here and patience. This guy kept cutting him off or spoke over Kobe. Kobe never once did that to the interviewer

Kobe was born woke!

Host is good, he asked really good non-generic questions unlike most.

I love this conversation with Kobe and so much inspiration you can draw from him and it's like my morning sessions listen to something positive to start the rest of the day. Thank you Kobe and bless your beautiful soul...

TEDX always delivering on some awesome content and amazing people!

I really like the comment that Kobe makes about exposing your kids to different things!!!

Great interview...

One of the biggest who ever set foot on this earth...

31:27 You got Kobe talking and you sitting on your damn phone, kids these days lol.

14:20-15:20 so much Inspiration thank you Kobe

14:38 I am not sure how long he had been doing that for his life, but that is so insane

Media needs to show a few mins starting at 14:00 - we’ll never hear this type of stuff from other athletes.

Did the interviewer really just say that Kobe's greatest accomplishment was sticking with one team? Just goes to show that he really wasn't listening to Kobe the whole time and couldn't wait for his turn to speak...

Ultimate inspiration

Aside from helping the womans basketball and L.A. homelessness ,he had so much caressma and smarts about him.He gave such good motivationtalks

The Best. #MAMBAOUT Very Insprational

As you can see, Kobe now is really a philosopher

huge respect to Kobe

RIP to a truly remarkable human being

RIP Kobe. Mamba Mentality Forever

"If I ever get in a fight with a bear, you pray for the bear, not me. That's mamba mentality"

R.i.p i missed so much you were GOT

Why weren't we listening. I can't find another Athlete like this one. Also, Jeet Kune Do - (Bruce Lee), his devotion to family, but mostly, he loved his fans and always considered the kids' experience. Darnit.

I love Kobe!!!!!

16:05 You know he is a true dude when he hooks up the Janitor from his highschool for just being around to shoot hoops with at 5 am. Kobe is a savage. RIP

I love how breaks down his day at 14:05

Oh wow. Inspiring
