- 16:51Η Συνήθεια της Επιτυχίας | Κοσμάς Μαρινάκης | TEDxAgrinioΣκοπός αυτής της ομιλίας είναι να ανατρέψει μια κοινή πεποίθηση: ότι η επιτυχία είναι μια αλληλουχία σωστών αποφάσεων. 22 χρόνια διδασκαλίας σε πανεπιστημιακά αμφιθέατρα δεν μου άφησαν καμία αμφιβολία πως οι πιο επιτυχημένοι φοιτητές και φοιτήτριές μου δεν ήταν αυτοί που έπαιρναν τις καλύτερες αποφάσεις, αλλά όσοι ακολουθούσαν μια πορεία ζωής στην οποία χρειαζόταν να αποφασίζουν για ελάχιστα πράγματα. Δείτε γιατί οι επιτυχημένοι άνθρωποι δεν έχουν πολλές εναλλακτικές, γιατί δεν είμαστε οι καλές ή οι κακές στιγμές μας, και γιατί η επιτυχία δεν απαιτεί στόχους. Ο Δρ. Κοσμάς Μαρινάκης διδάσκει Οικονομική Επιστήμη στο Singapore Management University και είναι δημιουργός του Greekonomics. Έχει εργαστεί σε πανεπιστήμια των ΗΠΑ, της Ρωσίας, της Κύπρου και έχει δημοσιεύσει εργασίες του σε κορυφαία επιστημονικά περιοδικά.
