How Will You Measure Your Life? Clay Christensen at TEDxBoston

"It's actually really important that you succeed at what you're succeeding at, but that isn't going to be the measure of your life."

Too often, we measure success in life against the progress we make in our careers. But how can we ensure we're not straying from our values as humans along the way? Clayton Christensen, Harvard Business School professor and world-renowned innovation guru, examines the daily decisions that define our lives and encourages all of us to think about what is truly important.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This great man will be missed. RIP my brother. In this talk he talks about having his interview with God. I’m sure it will go well.

For those of you who aren't really religious, I think the point he is trying to make at the end of his talk is this: Don't measure your life by the amount of money, the degree, or the number of friends you have by the time you die. It's much better to think about some of the individual experiences or moments in your life where you can really see the good impacts you made on your peers or society as a whole.

Unfortunately, Clay suffered from a stroke prior to giving this presentation. He has proven his depth of character for continuing his public message.

I love that he said, "the family is the deepest source in our lives."

For context, Professor Christensen had suffered a stroke in the summer of 2010 that deeply affected his ability to speak. Amazing to see him give a strong lecture not that long after.

Beyond a doubt, the greatest professor I ever sat at the feet of. His humility and kindness were easily discerned from the moment he began a lecture, which is a difficult accomplishment at the podium of Harvard Business School. Until with meet again Sir!

This video is the answer to the question "What you do you wish people told you when you were younger?"

What he doesn't mention in this presentation is that in the previous year he had a stroke and had to completely relearn how to speak.

Perhaps the greatest man that I have counted as my friend. We worked together and spent time together talking about the meaning of life. I’m certain that the trajectory of my life was greatly influenced by our friendship.

Clay, as a 65-year old college professor, I have most recently been asking myself; does what I am doing at this stage of my life; does it really count in God's economy? Your message encourages me - thank you.

I love this guy. There is no need to say anything about Clay. He is simply amazing human being.

The measure of a life well lived is doing for others who can't do anything for YOU

Summary: I’ve concluded that the metric by which God will assess my life isn’t dollars but the individual people whose lives I’ve touched.

Been praying for weeks to make the right decision with my career, this talk is the second answer I get, thank you professor Christensen.

I like the way Clayton describes how most people think of and strive for success. That is, people often set their own goals for the short term but not in long term, so they lose the most valuable thing they should devote themselves to--“family”--which is a long term goal.

There was a reference to "How Will You Measure Your Life?" in an article. I clicked on it. This is my first time experiencing Clay Christensen. I say to him, thank you for giving me these words of wisdom at the exact time I needed to hear them. I will remember his words to identify always with measuring my life before, now, and beyond.
