I choose this speech because even though he’s speaking facts and being honest and sincere he still cracks some humor. He gives his motivation and his support to all the people but still find a way to make it a positive upbringing speech. He also lets everyone know that it’s never enough and to always strive for more, he speaks to them with wisdom.

The speech I chose was by Dana Gioia in 2007 at Stanford. At first I chose this speech because I used to want to attend Stanford. In his speech he mentioned how attending Stanford was his dad's idea and explains how he didn't really know much but his dad would tell him if he went there he basically completed anything good he could do. His speech was also funny as he mentioned multiple jokes in it. He says people don't consider him famous enough. In his speech he was speaking the truth on how people can't name many poets or scientists but can name many celebrities who are famous for things that don't make a difference in the world.

The speech I chose was Chris Gardner's 2009 speech. In his speech he starts out by giving the audience advice on how to deal with a situation many people will be faced with. I liked that he started with this message because that advice was something many people could use. He states that at some point in your life somebody will tell you how to do something and it is up to you to not listen and do things your own way. I feel that starting out with a lesson was an effective way to deliver this speech.

Mike Judge aka Hank Hill stood out to me the most where he addresses life's challenges and choices. There will be times where you're right and times where you face the wrong. People will bring you down, some will bring happiness for guidance. We must find a passion to do what we love, and not have others tell you what's best for you. While he cracks a few character liners, Mike was very formal about his stories at school.

When you work for other people you'll find ... that they do know what's best for them, and for the company. And you should listen to them and be respectful, but they don't know what's best for you.

Bo Jackson in this speech talks about him self and his family struggles also his struggles. Talks about his first time at auburn being nervous and shy and not being able to talk out loud but then he overcomes that by seeking help and getting the help he needs. He then says " Get outside the box. Make things happen, be your own person" which explains don't be scared to be you and show people what your about.
