I’m not sure what I would do on Friday afternoons if not for TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design). For years now, they’ve been introducing me to new ideas, problems, artists and an all around fascination with the world around me.

Audrey Watters at ReadWriteWeb (ReadWriteStart) has gathered 10 staff favorites that apply to startups.

And its a great list! 10 Inspiring TED Talks for Startups

I think if I’d been asked, I would have included one more from Rory Sutherland:

Enjoy!

With this question, Richard St. John begins his 4 minute TED Talk – “Success is a Continuous Journey”

Richard talks about the success, failure and eventual bigger success of his business, the St. John Group. He has some very simple principles for success, principles that he’s worked more than a decade to prove.

Out of all of them, I think the most important one is this- When we stop trying to succeed, we fail.

Take a moment to enjoy this short, but enjoyable TED video
