Prompt: What types of things motivate you? Why is it important to use your skills to positively impact the world? ]]> 2018-11-30 11:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309717184 alairakish https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309865584 What an inspirational video! Some of the greatest people that motivate me are my parents. They are always pushing me to do my best in school and in extracurricular activities, and they support me in all I do. I have found that having a support group around you is the best way to gain motivation and ask yourself, "Why not?" ]]> 2018-11-30 16:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309865584 19diecka https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309867763 This is a great video. I think the only mistake you can make in life is limiting yourself to your dreams. Our perspective of our future is so small and narrow that it often occludes possibilities that are appealing to us. We have a plan for our future, and we often disregard amazing opportunities that we don't consider as "our thing." There is no way to predict who you will be and what you will be like; you are along for the ride of life. See and do everything you can and explore as much as possible so that you don't get stuck living your dream.]]> 2018-11-30 16:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309867763 19sparagesa https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309867876 This video is very profound, and definitely got me thinking about my life and what I can do with it. It is interesting to think about reasons why we shouldn't or can't do something, but honestly the only thing stopping us is ourselves. We have our whole life to do everything we want to, so we need to use it and spend it wisely. This was a great video, thank you for sharing Ethan!!]]> 2018-11-30 16:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309867876 19troutmane https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309867935 I think this is an excellent video for a Friday Inspiration. I believe that you should keep pushing yourself through life even if you believe you already did enough. I think the more you can do the more efficiently you can change your life and the world around. ]]> 2018-11-30 16:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309867935 19millere https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309867977 Just like most of these videos, it is of course inspirational. I am in general not a fan of these cliche videos, but it does make a decent point. Limiting your abilities is never going to help you influence as many people as possible. Everyone has heard that you can do anything you want as long as you put in the work, but few people actually do this, myself included. ]]> 2018-11-30 16:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309867977 https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309868363 This was a really inspiring video. I like when he says that there is no better time than now to do something. This is really important to remember because I think a lot of people wait until the "perfect time" to start something, when there really is no perfect time other than now.]]> 2018-11-30 16:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309868363 19davisj2 https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309868387 Great choice for this week's inspiration, Ethan! I admit, I ask myself more often the why questions rather than the why nots. Why bother getting out of bed today? Why should I make an effort studying for a test I know I won't do well on? I struggle with balancing my pessimistic and optimistic sides all the time. I needed this video to realize that the list of why nots is much longer than the whys.]]> 2018-11-30 16:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309868387 19christensonc https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309868436 This video was really different in the way it inspired us to do something, but it was really effective in motivating me. I like how he asked why we do so many things and take on so much responsibility, and that his answer was "why not?" I think that this is a great way to think about life and what we are going to accomplish with it. I think it's a good thing to stop and reflect "why?" every once in a while.]]> 2018-11-30 16:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309868436 https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309868553 This is an interesting video. It seems to go along with the yesterday's video about the relation between success and effort. People are really adaptable. You can push yourself as far as you want and test the limits as to who you can become, there is nothing holding you back. What motives me to push myself is stories of other people's success. I specifically like the stories where somebody succeeded when all the odds were against them. For instance, a classic rags to riches story or even a handicapped person becoming an athlete.]]> 2018-11-30 16:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309868553 alr2 https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309868636 Thanks for sharing this, Ethan. It's very inspiring and thought provoking. The questions posed in the video are truly worthwhile to ask yourself. I am most motivated by a sense of doing the right thing and improving myself. I am a bit competitive too, which tends to motivate me, but I am most competitive with myself, not necessarily others. It is definitely important and necessary to use our skills to influence and positively impact the world. I hope you all will go out and make a difference!]]> 2018-11-30 16:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309868636 https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309868734 I like the message of this video. Why not try to be the best that you can be, and why not try to use everything in your power to positively impact the world. I am motivated by hope. Whenever I feel like I can do something, it makes me more motivated to do it well. ]]> 2018-11-30 16:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309868734 https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309870409 I like this video a lot! It was really inspirational. I like the repetition of "why" and the rhetorical questions- they really led me to think hard. This video encourages its viewers to try and positively impact themselves/others. ]]> 2018-11-30 17:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/19millered/9ezc3didnzud/wish/309870409
