These are all questions posed and answered by writer and US venture capitalist, Anthony (Tony) Tjan, in the fascinating video you can access below.
Speaking at TED, the lead author of New York Times Best Seller, "Heart, Smarts, Guts, and Luck" examines:
* The five different ways we're all inspired
* The four different traits in the title of his book, how they manifest themselves and how they can help you achieve self-awareness
* Why we should all take the time to 'turn the spotlight on ourselves' and the beneficial effects it can have on our lives
In what is a lively, entertaining and thought-provoking presentation, Tony also talks about the Entrepreneurial Aptitude Test (EAT) that formed part of research carried out in collaboration with Harvard Business School Publishing.
And he illustrates his points with two excellent movies.
One, entitled 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi', recounts the insiring story of a Michelin-starred, octogenarian, sushi chef in Japan.
The other tells the incredible story of how French tightrope-walker, Philippe Petit, completed a high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, back in 1974.
It's a wonderfully informative video that will surely make you think. Take a look. Click on the link below:
