Welcome to the Daily Roundup. Each day at the ThinkTalk Blog we will post some links that we find informative, interesting, or just plain funny. The goal is to let you know what else is going on out there, and ultimately help you with the development of your career.

We are keeping with yesterday's theme of not-so-practical advice from successful individuals for today's post. Today's video (a rather long one at 20-minutes - heads up) features Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert discussing success, fear and her career on TEDTalks.

In a surprisingly candid moment (I say surprisingly because Ms. Gilbert is on a stage, in front of roughly a thousand people and with a gigantic monitor behind her head. In these moments, being candid is not what first comes to mind) she contemplates the idea that her greatest achievement in life - Eat, Pray. Love - may in fact be behind her. She has to reconcile this fear with fears she had when first starting out. What if no one likes her work? What if she can't get published? This fear of failure is something that every person must overcome to be successful. See some of Elizabeth Gilbert's other thoughts below:

(By the way, I've seen this in a numeber of places, but I didn't click on it until John Dickerson's tweet. Thanks for the tip.)

The only thing you have to fear, is . . . missing out on The Links.
