To begin the video, the speaker gave meaning to why he chose to speak about the topic: "What leads to success"? He explains that on a trip to a previous TED convention, he met a poor, high school girl on a plane who asked him the exact question. In his quest to answer this question, St. John interviewed over 500 successful people over a span of seven years and came up with some points. Here are his 8 points:
- Passion
- Work
- Good (be good at what you do)
- Focus
- Push (pushing oneself)
- Serve
- Ideas
- Persist
With all of these points made, the speaker gave subtle back up to each one along with humor to help people really understand what he was talking about. Another thing that I thought was clever was that he used quotes from famous people that directly tied into the subject thast also made it easier to grasp on to. Overall, I thought the speech was very thoughtful and well-planned. He did a very good job of keeping his thoughts clear and concise as to not bore the audience. I also liked the structure of the video. He made his focus easier to understand with his clear-cut ideas and I think that that is an importantthing to consider for my TED project. The techniques the speaker used in the video were subtle humor and clear ideas that one should have to be successful.
