David Blaine-Blog6

My take-aways from this video is that you have to challenge yourself. Blaine is using his personal experiences to teach people that you can set goals just to break them; challenge yourself and you will be surprised what you can do. It pays off to practice and to train in the end. The speakers effective speaking techniques is that he speaks slowly and enunciates his words. Blaine utilizes sarcasm and his dry sense of humor to keep the audience laughing and to keep the room light; as his topic is very heavy and serious. The speaker's presentation style is that he uses video clips and photos in his presentation. His gives the audience a visual so that they have a visual in their head and keeps them attentive. Blaine also uses stories to present his topic in a way that is not solely based on stats.

What matters in this video, as it relates to me, is that I should set goals for myself just to break them. If I set goals just to break them, I will preform better and push myself harder; whether in school or on the diamond. What matters in this video, as it relates to education, is that students do not need to be motivated by money or other incentives. They need to be motivated by beating themselves. Blaine is saying that when we go up against ourselves we tend to do better and work harder. What matters in this video, as it relates to the world, is that no matter what your profession you must be motivated, not by money, but by beating yourself. Set goals just for the sake of beating them.
