Pradipta Ghosh’s Post

Samuel Oluwatoye (thank you!) sent parts of the transcript of this speech and I had to go and find the full video. The 2024 Commencement Address by Roger Federer at Dartmouth was such an inspiring speech. The lessons are profound, and universally relatable. Some of the lessons I took from this are: 1. Only hard work can make work look effortless - Effortless is a myth. 2. Never dwell on past victories or failures. Celebrate or cry if you need to; what's done is done - It's just a point. 3. There is a whole world out there, life does not start and end in that arena (office, school, church, etc) build meaningful relationships and live a life that you are proud of - Life is bigger than a court. What are your key takeaways? Watch it here (feel free to start at 5:40mins) - https://lnkd.in/dNwVk4ig #tennislessons #lifelessons

Roger Federer gave the most inspiring Dartmouth graduating class of 2024 commencement speech, and his "tennis lessons" are also so relatable to running a start-up: ·      Effortless is a myth – you have to work hard to make it look easy. ·      Mental discipline takes work - belief in yourself has to be earned. ·      Talent is important, but it's about grit and everyone has to work at it, including your opponents. ·      Every point matters so play it with intensity, clarity and focus. But the last point no longer matters. ·      Perfection is impossible - Roger won 80% of his matches, but only 54% of the points, barely half. Don't dwell on every point. ·      Negative energy is wasted energy. Become a master at overcoming hard moments. Learn how to deal with failures and work smarter. ·      Your success depends on your team.  ·      Life is bigger than the court. What a true champion both on and off the court. https://lnkd.in/eWnQfP9k

#Roger #Federer at #Dartmouth Best #grad #speech of the year? I think so. With an intention to keep this short (considering you're all adults who can derive your own life lessons from this speech), I am just sharing my favorite quotes from this speech: "When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. But when it's behind you, it's behind you. This mindset is so important, because it frees you to fully commit to the next point, and to the next point after that" "Whatever game you play in life, sometimes you're going to lose..a point, a match, a season, a job: it's a rollercoaster with many ups and downs." The #Lesson: The ability to move on from a loss and focus on your next point (target or goal) is so crucial. It can be a defining moment for your future success! https://lnkd.in/ghYxDHpB

"Belief in yourself has to be earned" 🔥🎾 If you haven’t listened to Roger Federer’s commencement address to Dartmouth College’s 2024 graduating class, it’s a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and guidance on achieving success and fulfillment. Federer summed up his speech with three main points: 1. Effortless is a myth: Federer debunked the idea that his play was effortless, emphasizing the hard work and discipline behind his success. 2. It’s only a point: He highlighted the importance of not dwelling on individual setbacks, stressing resilience and the ability to move on. 3. Life is bigger than the court: Federer spoke about the importance of having a life beyond your career, valuing family, friends, and giving back to the community. Each point provides valuable lessons in life and business. It’s also a true masterclass in emotional intelligence: funny, motivating, and inspiring. Give it a listen and enjoy! #LifeLessons #EmotionalIntelligence #Motivation #PersonalGrowth #RogerFederer

Absolutely inspired by Roger Federer's commencement address at Dartmouth! His speech is a must-listen for everyone. Roger elegantly articulated key life lessons that resonate deeply across various walks of life. Effortless is a Myth: “It’s not about having a gift; it’s about having grit.” Often, we think success comes easy for some, but the reality is far different. Behind every achievement are untold hardships, struggles, and challenges. Some may have innate talent, but it is the relentless effort that sets the extraordinary apart from the average. It’s Only a Point!   “When you lose every second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.” In both life and work, setbacks are inevitable. However, each setback is just one point in a much larger game. The key is resilience and the determination to keep moving forward. Life is Bigger Than the Court: “Tennis could show me the world, but tennis could never be the world.” Our lives extend beyond our jobs. It's about making a positive impact on others, no matter how small. Every effort counts and contributes to making the world a better place. https://lnkd.in/dGFGtvRU #Leadership #Inspiration #RogerFederer #LifeLessons #CareerAdvice #Resilience #Community #Impact

Roger Federer gave the commencement address at Dartmouth this weekend, and his speech is filled with incredible advice for any and everyone. Well worth watching the full 25 minutes below, but nine key points to take with you: 1. Effortless is a myth 2. It’s not about having a gift; it’s about having grit 3. It's only a point - Fed won only 54% of the points in his legendary career - a reminder that striving for perfection is great, but that even the greatest fail often 4. Whatever game you play in life, sometimes you’re going to lose.  5. Negative energy is wasted energy. You want to become a master at overcoming hard moments 6. Life is bigger than the court (or whatever career/life stage you're in at the moment). Never lose sight of where you came from, but never lose your appetite to see the world either. 7. You’ve got to take a chance, and then figure it out 8. Success depends on a team - yes, you stand alone, but winning depends on the people around you - coaches, team, rivals, family, colleagues, etc. They all make you who you are. 9. Whatever game you choose, give it your best. Go for your shots. Play free. Try everything. And most of all, be kind to one another... and have fun out there. #advice #growth #leadership #development

This will be remembered as one of the greatest speeches of all time. Wow, what a treat to have heard from this legend #RogerFederer Effortlessness is a myth. Everyone needs to work hard to make it look effortless. Talent isn't just about skills. Discipline is a talent, embracing the process is a talent, maintaining balance is a talent. Don't be afraid to speak about your failures. Winning and losing are part of life. Don't always look to score big, scoring consistently is key. By winning just 54% of the points in a match, Roger has won more than 80% of his matches in his lifetime. Save this video. Whenever we need a kickstart in the future to start something or continue something, watching this speech will lift our spirits to another level. https://lnkd.in/dRHzDumA #TennisLegend #Champion #Motivation #Inspiration #FedererSpeech #WiseWords #NeverGiveUp #HardWork #TalentAndGrit #WinningAndLosing #RoleModel #FedererFan #MoreThanATennisPlayer
