Tony Robbins-Blog8

My take aways from this video is that it is not where you are from it is where you are going. Your life path is not based on where you are from; it is based on where you are going and he decisions you make. You cannot become a victim of your situation. If you want to do it, you will find a way to do it. Life comes down to decisions and sometimes your decisions can impact the lives of others. The speakers effective speaking techniques is that he talks and projects so that the whole room can hear him. Robbins also has a certain liveliness to the way he talks. He is confident in his topic and you can tell that his topic really matters to him. His presentation style is that he uses humor and slides to get his point across. Robbins also gets the audience involved by asking them questions and gives them clarity and meaning behind their response.

What matters in this video, as it relates to me, is that my decisions can impact, not only myself, but the people around me. It is not where I am coming from it is where I am going. I cannot let my situation or stuff I can't control bring me down, if I love and want to achieve it I will find a way. What matters in this video, as it relates to education, is that if you want to get an "A", you got to work hard for it. You cannot make excuses when you get a bad grade because if you truly want it you can get it. What matters in this video, as it relates to the world, is that our path isn't set in stone. Where we come from doesn't have to effect us. It is the path in front of us not the path behind us that matters.

My take-aways from this video is that students need more one on one help. Dave is encouraging one on one help with students. Another take-away is that if you give students the help they need, they will exceed expectations. My final take-away is that education, when made fun, can make a great impact on kids. We stereotype education to be boring, but it can be fun if the teachers make it fun. When something is fun, it has a greater impact on people.We remember something because it is fun not, because it is boring. Having something be fun adds another dimension to learning. It make it more enjoyable. The speaker's effective speaking techniques are that he is humorous and is light in his attitude, despite his topic being very serious. His presentation style his that he goes from funny to serious and back to funny. He is not overly serious all the time and he is not overly funny all the time. He uses slides and anecdotes to illustrate his point then, really drives his point home in the end.

What matters in this video, as it relates to me, is that it wouldn't kill me to go see a teacher even if I already have mastered the topic. I may learn something new and develop a solid relationship with my teacher; so that when I need help I won't be afraid to ask. What matters in this video, as it relates to education, is that students need one on one help to be successful. They also need an element of fun to learn better. We remember the fun stuff in our lives easier than, just boring note taking. What matters in this video, as it relates to the world, is that education can vastly be improved with a little fun and one on one time. It is surprising how much better a kid can learn with a little fun and one on one time. We need an element of fun in our lives. Having fun is what keeps us sane.
