I can never think; the internet is too unstable to speak. Zoom is always making trouble, putting a barrier. This is my new world now, so I guess that I have to deal with it. The loud music in the classroom overpowers the thoughts inside my own brain. My color is orange, for the mix of all of the events of the year. I don't like to be this color, but it is what it is.

The video I watched today was a ted talk from Mr. Shivers, who talked about how you can do your goal. I agree with him about the idea; since if you tell people you are going to do something, then you will end up forgetting about for a couple of months and then remember it to do it. I later on or possibly not. In conclusion, I think you doing it without saying anything to anyone would work out better for you in the long run.

In the TedTalk, Derek Sivers talked about making and achieving goals. I agreed with him; mainly because I could see how it could work. Mr. Sivers also discussed some of his own goals. One main point of his speech, however, was the idea that sharing you goal with someone can make it harder to achieve. His argued his point from various perspectives, but what I found most persuasive was his explanation from neurology. Basically, this aforementioned sharing of goals can "trick" your brain into it has already achieved them. I will definitely take his words to heart, and try to incorporate the ideas into my life.

In the TedTalk video titled "Keeping Your Goals to Yourself", Mr. Sivers talked about how sharing your goals out loud will most likely result in you failing to achieve those goals. I agree with Mr. Sivers because the study showed that almost all the people who didn't announce their goal, had determination and kept working while the others felt they had almost reached their goal. The feeling of satisfaction when you tell somebody your goal is enough to make you feel as if you did achieve it, but in reality, you didn't. This study proved true to me also. I wanted to get back in gymnastics so I was running on the treadmill on my own. I went and told my parents so they could start bringing me to the park to stretch and run but soon after, I got discouraged.

In his public speech he made, Derek Sivers mostly discussed about how talking about your goals with somebody will make you less likely to do any of them as your brain takes it in and processes the praise you get from said person as satisfaction. I agree with what he is saying as it makes sense to me; mostly, because I myself have done this many times with goals I tried to make.

# data[].attributes.body
Derek Sivers said during his Ted Talk that if you told a lot of people about your life goals they will become harder to achieve. I do not agree with what he is saying because after i tell someone i will feel motivated to do it. I feel like i can't let the people that i have told down and i need to fulfill what i told them; if you told them you could feel embarrassed or bad cause you might not be able to fulfill what you told them. I can't let anyone down or i will be disappointed in my self. You just have to persevere if times get tough to achieve what you set out for.

Mr. Sivers’ Ted Talk was very informational; I do believe his theory. Because of this video; I have realized that telling people your goal does make them less likely to happen. Looking back on my life this absolutely happed whenever I told someone one of my goals. For example, when I told one of my friends that I wanted to finish the summer reading early this year I started it but never finished and ended up finishing it like a day before school started. Last year I did not tell anyone about when I was going to do my book and I finish it like a month before school started.

During his Ted Talk, Derek Sivers said that if you tell others you goal then you are less likely to achieve your goal. I agree with what Mr. Sivers said; I too believe that if you tell others your goal than you are less likely to achieve your goal. I agree with Derek Sivers because if you keep your goal to yourself then you are more determined to achieve it because it puts a lot of pressure on you. If you tell others you goal then they are cheering you on and helping you so you are not feeling as much pressure, which I think makes you more likely to quit without achieving your goal.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr. Sivers said sharing our goals with others makes it less likely to achieve them in his 2019 Ted Talk. We want to achieve our goals; we tell our goals to others. When we share our goals, our brain thinks that we have already done the goal. This can lead to not actually working to complete our goal in the long run. Also, when we realize we did not actually complete our goal, it can make us feel bad and like a liar to ourselves and others.

# data[].attributes.body
While talking in his TED talk, Mr. Sivers said that if you were to share your biggest goals with a lot of people, it will be harder to achieve those goals. I do agree with what he is saying because I feel like when you tell a lot of people your goals, they expect you to get to that goal, so it puts a lot of pressure on yourself. I do believe that when people know what you want to do and they want you to do it, it is a good motivation; letting them know can also make you feel stressed.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Derek Sivers. There are several reasons for why I agree with Derek; however, the primary reason is that he has evidence to back it up. Sivers states several studies done about whether or not speaking of your goals causes you to more frequently fail on your goals. The studies are factual, they prove his claims. Not only is he backed up by facts, he is also backed up by my experiences because I too have experience many failures from telling everyone I know my brand new goals.

# data[].attributes.body
When Derek silver said when we announce our goals they become less likely to happen I disagreed with that. When I tell someone I am going to do something I feel pressure like I have to do this or else I lied.of coarse I can see why if I didn’t announce it I could do my goal at my own pace and slowly get it done. I would feel more motivated to do it because  I wouldn’t want to let them down or I would especially do it if they doubted I could do it

# data[].attributes.body
Derek Sivers thinks that stating our goals make us less likely to accomplish them. I completely disagree. I have found through experience that telling other people your goals can make you want to be more responsible and follow through with your goal. If you tell people that have your best interest in mind, they should encourage you to finish it. Also, the pressure of letting someone down can be a great motivation to do what you say you are going to do. Either way you should try your hardest to complete your goals regardless of who you chose to tell, because why not?

# data[].attributes.body
When Derek silvers stated that we need to stay quiet and keep our goals to ourselves, I got to say I agree too. Most of the time when you make a goal you say to yourself, I am going to do this extra mile, and it's going to be hard but worth it. If you tell others about your goal, that brings a lot of pressure down on you that you normally would not have if you kept it to yourself. This pressure slows your motivation, as others make help you can take away the satisfactory feeling of doing by yourself or laugh at you for trying to do a hard task by yourself. I am not trying to shun the people of the opposite opinion; it can work out like Mr. Beast's 10 million trees for example but for most goal settings you keep it to yourself.

Derek says in his presentation that when we tell people our goals and truly feel satisfaction, then our thirst for our dream goes away. I agree; when I do tell people and receive praise I already feel good, almost like it already happened. But at the same time, when i tell someone my goal and they truly support me it makes me feel like I cant let them down. So my take away from this is that if you tell the wrong people who wont support you then you will lose motivation in your dream. I have people that I absolutely cant let down that's why I must achieve my goal.

# data[].attributes.body
Derek Sivers’s states our motivation to complete our goals would stick with us until the goal is completed if we do not share it. By experience, I do not believe it is true because I have told my goals to friends before and end up completing them just as I wished. A goal is a personal mission that requires work and motivation to accomplish. If someone loses their motivation just by sharing goals to friends, it shows that maybe there was not exactly much motivation at the start. If one wishes to accomplish a self-made mission, one will not stop until the mission is completed. Share your goals or keep them quiet; do not your motivation disappear.

The video talks about how you should keep your goals to yourself. I sorot of agree but yet disagree. I think that telling people your goals is a good thing if that person plans on helping you. If your just telling people your goals just for their reactions and to make them jealous, then that is for the wrong reason. I tell certain people my goals (like my close friends, family members, and relatives) because I know they will help me. So to sum up my answer, I believe that what he said (for the most part) was correct in my opinion.

jaxson hardwick                       Dereck Sivers said that by speaking our goals out loud we are less likely to accomplish th goal because we already feel the satisfaction of doing it. He said to achieve our goals we should stay quiet and keep your mind on your goal if we do we should be more likely to succeed. He referenced a study conducted in 2000 to plea his case. I agree with this because announcing your goal really does not help you it really just clouds your judgement.

I agree with Derek Sivirs because the more you talk about something the less likely it is to happen. If you keep things to yourself and work hard you can get a lot of things done. If you are dedicated to something and focus on yourself you'll be able to do anything. Without other people around and distracting you its possible to do many things. Just put your mind to something and work hard and you will be able to do anything you put your mind to.

# data[].attributes.body
If I had to be completely honest I would say I would disagree with Mr. Derek because I get more accomplish more when I inform others about my goal. I feel this way because when I tell people they can help encourage me to get those things done. I understand that there was research done but my opinion is different because it is what works for me personally but I do see both sides of the spectrum and I only disagree though.

# data[].attributes.body
I, like several others, agree with Derek Sivers. I tend to have a bad habit of getting overly excited to commit to a new idea and then actually go ahead for a week or two; however, when it comes to committing long term, it’s nearly impossible for me to do so. I’m not the only one who fails to continue with their goals; science has proved that many people who announce their goals also tend to have the same issue. I agree with Silvers because I have experienced what he spoke of - I am the issue he spoke of.

# data[].attributes.body
I somewhat agree with Dereck Sivers. He said that once we announce our goals, we no longer are guaranteed the satisfaction of completing something, because we have already taken credit for it. If you announce your goal before even completing it, it is not as satisfying as completing it and then getting credit.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not agree with Derek Sivers because I do not think that stating your goals affects the outcome of you actually completing them. Even if you get praise for stating your goal, you haven't completed it so you shouldn't feel accomplished. As long as you put the work in you can complete the goal. It doesn't matter if people praise you.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that it is better to keep it to yourself. I don't say that for any particular reason to do with science or any particular study, I just think that if you have a dream then it is you're responsibility. We should all work to achieve our goals In life, whatever those are, and if there is quantifiable science to back up keeping it to yourself helps then that is great.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that it is better to keep your goals to yourself. There will always be people that doubt you and dislike what you would like to be or do. We all have our goals and should chase them in our own manner.

Dereck Sivers stated that by speaking our goals allowed we are less likely to accomplish said goal because we already feel the satisfaction of doing it. He said to achieve our goals we need to keep our mouths shut and that will make us more likely to succeed. He referenced a study conducted in 2000 to back his statement. I agree with this statement because the feeling of socially announcing the goal will not help you in any way. I guess we think that our friends and relatives will help us in accomplishing this goal, but they probably do not even care. I feel that Derek was definitely correct as I succeed and accomplish my goal way more often when I do not say them out loud and just keep them to myself.

# data[].attributes.body
Derek Sivirs stated that when you tell another person a goal of yours, you feel less motivated in the end to complete the said goal. I partly agree with this statement, knowing the loss of motivation he spoke of. The evidence he stated showed how people can prove this statement to be true. I know that I can achieve my goals if I stay focused and work hard. Part of me believes that sometimes people need to tell others about their goals to feel acknowledged. With this new found acknowledgement, the person pursuing his goal can feel a bit more motivation to not let others down.

I'd say that I agree with Derek sivers, but at the same time I'm not sure because does telling people your goals really tell you how efficient you will be with that goal? I know that there have been times when that has been the case, but there are also times when I tell myself I'm going to do it and then I actually end up reaching that goal, so should announcing your goal to yourself have the same effect or is that different? I guess you aren't technically tell someone else that you're going to do it, but you're still saying about how much you're going to accomplish.

I would say that I'm in agreement with Derek Sivers, as I've experienced this very thing before. I announce what I'm to do and kaput, I don't get anywhere. But if I don't announce my goal, then I push hard and get it done. Moreover, Derek presents quite the amount of evidence to support his claim, so it has its merit; he even included recent (for when he spoke) tests, which also proved his point. - Chris

I am usually not one to make goals. When I do make goals, I often do not share them in the first place, or I share them with my father. When Derek spoke, I agreed with that he said using my own personal experience with setting goals. I have observed myself that telling friends my goals I am less motivated to do them. Not sure why until I watched his Ted Talk. Now it makes sense.

The video states that you should keep your goals to yourself because, if you announce your goals this may lead to social acknowledgment, causing you to not perform the task. Derek Sivers displays a scientific study that made half of the participants announce their goals, while the other half of the participants stayed quiet. The participants were then asked to perform their task. The half of the room that did not announce their goal worked for an average of forty five minutes and did not feel fulfilled after completing their task. The half of the participants that did announce their goals worked for an average of thirty three minutes and did feel fulfilled after they completed their tasks. And although some people may disagree with Derek Silver, I will generally not announce my goals from now on.  - Alex Van Tran.
