So many takeaways:
Passion
Hans Rosling is incredibly passionate about statistics. He’s passionate about the underlying work he’s doing and the analysis and insights his data is generating, but he’s also passionate about just accessing and sharing data in general. He’s passionate about literally pulling unused data out of databases and putting into cool looking graphs. If he can be passionate about that, you can be passionate about anything.
Attitude
Good news! He doesn’t say it’s impossible, he only says ‘We can’t do it’!
What a fantastic attitude to attack life with.
Presentation
This man just made a 15 minute presentation about graphs and data absolutely riveting. Yeah, his enthusiasm was part of it, but the animated graphics are captivating. There’s no reason for shitty Powerpoint presentations anymore.
