TED Talk 7

For my fifth TED Talk that decided to blog about, I did the one on the survivor of the Hudson River Plane crash. The three things that he wanted to spread to everyone is for them to eliminate negative energy from their lives, to be a good parent, and for people to love every minute of life. I thought that his speech was riveting because I really could relate to it well. I was in a car crash in 7th grade in the mountains in which the car rolled over. I thought I was going to die until the military people behind us pulled me out of the jeep. I think is message to the world should be taken with the utmost importance. I know some people just tune out the cliché of live life to your fullest, but there is a reason it is clichéd out. I get really angry when I see people throwing easy opportunities to make their life better, or when they make life so hard on others that they can't go on. His message is definitely worth spreading and I hope that people listen and learn from this inspirational talk. The manner of his speech was also stunning because he had the perfect mix of comedy and of emotion and empathy that are usually overplayed in some of these talks. This TED Talk was one of profession and a stunning experience.
