(11:47) This part really resonated with me. It’s the perfect question when considering applicants. May just have to steal it. Also, couldn’t agree more about learning so much about someone based on how they interact and treat service professionals. Great lecture!

Top Comments : [TED] Are you a giver or a taker? | Adam Grant

kr****:

"Protect givers from burnout" wow, this is a powerful concept.

Ni********:

In my personal experience, it seems as though having been raised by a family of highly agreeable givers that it's bred me into a highly agreeable taker. Having been given so much throughout my life, I've always taken it for granted and selfishly expected the same from everyone else without returning the favor. It feels good to get that off my chest, and realizing from the thought-provoking insight from this video that I can choose to become someone who desires to help others.

Bl************:

Bald Andrew Garfield.

Love the talk, btw

Ja***********:

This Ted Talk is awesome because:
no bulshit self- advertising, no useless stories like "when I was a kid..", the talk gets straight on point, facts are backed by statistics, he mentions how this idea can help our society grow! Videos like this is why I'm still subscribed to Tedtalk channel.

Mi******:

I am a matcher. I feel guilty when someone gives too much to me, and I am always thinking about ways to make it up to them. When someone takes significantly more than they give, I try to figure out how to remove that person from my life. I am paranoid that the giver will leave, thinking I do not appreciate them. I am also paranoid the taker will keep taking what I do not want to give. Paranoia is not limited to narcissistic takers. I do not like being paranoid, but it is how I have always been.

No*******:

Seriously, the guy looks like he's going to cry, but he doesn't

mu*******:

The sparkling in his eyes is just distracting and captivating in the same time , good speech though

Th*******************:

It seems to me, that unfortunately our society idolizes the taker's mentality, and punishes givers. At least in every place of power and influence. It's all about the me me me, and being rich, being famous, and being powerful. Yet, that is how society succumbs to degradation.

Ergo, Trump.

Li************:

YOU ARE AWESOME, thank you for this, it put new thoughts in my mind that I needed to hear and will learn from

Ky******:

I'm a giver who is dealing with 4 successive burnouts :D
The emoticon was sarcastic I'm suffering.

me***********:

Funny how givers make up 25% in his chart,but in this comment section it's more like 100% hmm...

Sa**:

"You just have to find small ways to add value to other people's lives." That quote from Adam Rifkin is valuable!

2n*******:

None of the above, I'm a keeper. At least that's what my mom tells me...

el******:

"An eye for an eye makes the world blind."
Hahaha, I am a matcher.

st******:

The biggest problem with being a giver is how everyone around you are constantly nagging at you that your mindset and philosophies are utopian and marxist, and that anything you do which doesn't pursue one self's best interest, in some form, is a waste of time. It makes givers burn out faster than a match in space.

Ja*************:

i was so afraid that this was going to be in support of being a taker and pretend that our value lies in our economic productivity, but pleased to say i was wrong.

Bl*********:

"I'm surrounded by a bunch of 'snakes' and 'sharks', why should I contribute?" ...that's how I feel about the whole world.

an**:

I'm definitely a matcher...
Just because if you help me, I'll gladly help you. I used to be a giver but people took advantage of me so I became a matcher.

Xi*******:

Today, only 6 people talked to me at school. They were my friends. But out of the 6 people, only one of them asked if I was okay. The other 5 only came up to me because they wanted me to teach them something from Physics or English. They aren't bad people, but I just feel so used. Like I never exist to them other than being of use to them. Maybe it's because I don't ask for help much because I tend to do everything myself just fine, but I just feel so used. And because I know it's my fault for helping in the first place, I feel guilty for feeling like I'm used by bad people when they are supposed to be good. I'm just so tired of giving, I have nothing to take, but people just keep taking and taking and taking from me like I'm a dispenser for answers. I don't have all the answers and I want to power off, but if I do that I'm being selfish. So I'm not supposed to.

My**********************:

Nobody is gonna saying how that guy looked almost like crying, which I hope is cause of happiness from doing a TED talk but if is not we need someone to send him WHOLESSOMES MEMES RIGHT NOW!

Er****************:

me too! Who else want to live in a world where givers succeed ?

Mi***********:

"I find paranoia everywhere" -The best quote on earth!

Sh*********:

"The answer to that is a very definitive, MAYBE"
Hahah, disappointed the crowd didn't respond to this joke

심*:

So , what i get from this lesson is here, take out the takers in my group of community. Thanks a lot. Any i should figure out who givers are.

SA*********:

I think there's a fourth category too. People who can control their behavior and choose where to be a giver and where to be a taker. They define their priorities.

On****:

"Are you a giver or taker"
GAH IM GETTING EXPOSED
after watching oh... that

ba**********:

each one of us is a Taker, Matcher, and a Giver all at once, I believe that the circumstances X values X priorities that decide which one we should be.

xm******:

"Success is really more about contribution." Well said.

Av***********:

"...how someone treats their restaurant server..."
MrBeast has entered the chat

HL******:

Man I'm such a giver and i was always deluded that this part of me is weakness but this talk changed my mind, however i need to try my best to become a matcher cause life is too cruel

en****:

I used to work for some middle managers who were classic takers, they’d make you do the difficult work then take the credit when the directors/upper management came. Most frustratingly they’d change their behaviour completely to come across as being more likeable when they did visit. Anyway, a couple of my colleagues and I had enough. Thankfully the directors were all givers (you don’t get to their status without teamwork and being selfish), they got wind of the situation with middle management and almost immediately (1 week later), they were reshuffled to a different department for less pay. Unsurprisingly they both quit, probably because it hurt their ego. That was probably best little win in my career, and hope to all the other givers/matchers.

3*:

Thank you so much Adam Grant, I was feeling stuck by negative emotions for depression a lot, I feel so worthless and useless somehow, but thanks to your video I found out that doesn’t matter your education, status, your skill level in society... you can somehow help others and not helping and contributing to others, life is so meaningless, I mean there is not right or wrong here, but to help people who deserve a favour, it makes me feel so useful and not an incompetent person as I thought when I faced someone better and having higher performance than me, at least I’m useful somehow in this world.

Pu********:

Takers are people who don't see the point in making the world better. All that matters to them is themselves.

Givers do see the point in making the world better even if they have to sacrifice themselves to do it.

Matchers are people who view life pragmatically and know that making the world better is good but their own well-being is just as important. If they see a giver, they will join him or her IF they can. If they see a taker, then they will try to eliminate him or her IF possible. This is why givers need to be put into positions of power and takers must be removed from positions of power.
