Winners Always Quit | Zahid Azmi Ibrahim | TEDxUniversitasIndonesia 

He's not exactly quitting, he finds out the way isn't leading to his destination, so he takes another way.

orang-orang yang berani ngambil keputusan besar untuk diri mereka sendiri tanpa mencampur adukkan pendapat orang banyak itu absolutely keren. kita ga akan pernah tahu kalau kita ngga mencoba. orang-orang banyak yang mau mempertanggungjawabkan setiap keberhasilan, tapi enggan menanggung kegagalan. i hope could be brave and confident as you Kak, you're so inspiring for me

"Successful people is quiting all the time when something isn't working and they find another way to go where they've been aiming for"

Either we quit or not, we are sacrificing something. Choose the decision that fulfilling our heart :)

" If you don’t like where you are, move! You are not a tree. " - Jim Rohn

your parent should be really proud of you zahid. kebanyakan orang merasa takut akan perubahan, namun itu hak masing-masing manusia. semoga video ini dipahami anak muda Indonesia, dan menjadi motivasi untuk memiliki tujuan yg lebih baik

Life is a series of choices. We can never know exactly the outcome of each options. Let's just try our best to analyse and choose the 'right' decision.

His English is so good... super easy to understand, and straight forward. Ofc the content was outstanding, but it is the way he delivers his story that really grasp my attention

Cannot believe it. Zahid in TED Talks, but in few years ago, I knew it he has potential talent on his soul

This story is very related to my experience. As a civil engineer student at one of the prestigious uni too, i failed to graduate in 4 years because I am to afraid to quit an organizational activity outside campus that turns out have a very bad impact to my life and study. I am afraid about what other people in the organization think about me if i quit. Like Zahid said, we have to think reasonably about this kind of problem and what other people think is not a reasonable reason to stay. One big thing that i learned from this story and my story is our life, time, future is in our hand, we are the one who have to determine our life not somebody else. Doesn't mean that we ignore everyone's opinion, but that's not the purpose of the decision that we make for our lives.

Good luck for your next adventure Zahid :) such as an inspiring talk you shared in this video. 3 lessons I gained when I decided to quit my old job: 1. The courage to start new 2. The strength to move forward, and 3. The ability to value myself better :) For everyone who is in the middle of making an important decision in life: trust your gut feeling. Wishing you all the best.

last week, I have withdrawn my credentials from a well-known university in my country. I'm in third year architecture, but I guess I chose this major for the wrong reason: being hyped with the drawing and presentation aspect. (I didn't see myself in the profession). I couldn't take the toxic learning environment anymore since it was already costing my sanity (esp sleepless nights and peer pressure) Right now, I signed up for a university where I know I would fit in. also, I ventured into a science major, BS in Biology. I find this video very comforting since it validates the idea that Quitting is for Winners. For others out there who are feeling lost, I wish us all good luck and hopefully will have the opportunity to bring out our narratives.💓

Omaigodddd. Is it.... Is it.... Is it zahid? How come you get here :) so proud of you. Hope more talented Indonesian youth come here to motivate world's youth

The uncertainty of choosing a path to take in our life is something that will and always be haunting us. Eventually, we can only react to present task that is in front of us. With that said, I couldn't stress my self to create a 'masterpiece' rather I have to focus on what I am facing today and work on my self to become a better person. We are not wasting time by learning new things or studying subjects that we don't really feel into it, because it is part of the journey and the journey will always continue throughout our life. What I get from Zahid's perspective, choosing to quit means you want to focus on specific purpose which lead the direction to your goals.

I like his talk... it's encouraging.. Only that not many people's stories relate to that kind of privilege or leverage.. people fall into some sort of delusion... great talk anyway!

Indonesian here, I graduated med school a year ago and just failed my licensing exam. Back in high school I was lost and didn’t know what to become, I did not receive the guidance I needed as a teenager. My parents wanted me to become a doctor and as the eldest child I pursued medicine to make them happy. 7 years later I’m not the happiest I’ve ever been, I can’t quit because the many years my parents invested in my studies. I’ve tried to like medicine all these years but just couldn’t and constantly trying to find a reason to keep going. Being on meds for my depression and anxiety is not worth it, but in our culture parents would always be first. Please pray for me to find my way, thank you x

I have quitted from school for two times because I was not happy and got depression, but right now I have my own path. I embarassed my parents at that time, but I promised them that I would find the right way to live my life.

His storytelling skill is outstanding. Thankyou for sharing, Zahid!

I really love the part about how we tend to attribute positive values to past decisions as if they're absolutes

"Quitting is some of the best decisions you can make." 👏👏👏

"we need to accept that the short-term reality of confronting other people and confronting other stakeholders may be horrifying but this is a necessary step in hopes to win us long-term fulfillment." thanks, zahid! those words are so magical.

When the lad says "this has been Zahid Ibrahim," it gave me goosebumps. Proud of you!

I'm 18 yo and I kinda have some situations like you, the feeling that losing interest in something like some time comes to my mind word like "what would I achieve at the end of the journey", I feel terrible I feel burnout I feel loosing I feel I can't take it anymore, and thanks to your video, after watching it I search for your name on YT and I found a lot of stuff that actually helps me a lot.

A lot of respect to him. Gua selama ini nyari apa yang gua mau dan belum ketemu *mungkin udah tapi belum sadar* dan bisa dibilang terlanjur masuk ke perguruan tinggi yang bahkan setelah gua jalanin 2 semester masih belum dapetin minatnya. 😢

what a bold & brave young man ... bravo!

Zahid, do you know that you have inspired many people?😭

Can't believe it, you're so amazing Zahid. Biasa liat orang" dunia, dan Orang Indonesia masuk dichanel internasional ini kereeeeeeen bangeeeeeeet

Thank you, Zahid. Choosing those difficult decisions, that's very brave of you. I hope I'll be as brave as you.

Im so proud of you zahidd, you inspired more people

Wow, extremely proud of u, Zahid!

This is what I want for long time, thank you so much

So proud of this young man. I know him from couple years ago

I quit my job"own", i knew it was wrong decision from the first days but tried to stick and hold on. I became more depressed and irritated until I did it 5 months ago. I felt sad and griefed for a month or two but definitely felt free. Going to abroad for studies its massive and uncertain move but i guess i will make it.

thank you zahid for this. it means a lot to me

it never hurts to quit doing something with the right analysis at the right time. quitting is necessary and does not mean failure. quit with the right analysis and no need to listen around and find your way. Be yourself, find your happiness for your life.

Thank you sooo much Zahid for such an inspiring talk! Wish u all the best in pursuing your next journey in Japan 🇯🇵 I was afraid to quit my engineering job because I worried so much about what will people talk about me. But, after a lots of thinking about my future and health, I did a big move this year. I quit my stable job. Honestly it was not an easy decision but I am proud of my own decision. Really looking forward to start my new life chapter 😀

Just a video that i needed the most❤ the answer to my question.

Bang Zahid, aku udah ngikutin abang dr lama, banyak pelajaran yang aku ambil dr Abang, bahkan aku sampe cerita ke mama tentang Abang. Melihat bang Zahid sudah sukses gini rasanya kek bangga banget

It's a perfect reason, we don't have to stick to something that we already good at it. We can change. And when something is really not interesting anymore, we can't enjoy, quitting is somethig normal, or perhaps it's a must.

How amazing u are!!!🤩I so proud of you ka zahidddd hehe, usually I am listening speakers from other countries except indonesia and now I am listening u from indonesia!!!
