This video was very eyeopening and made me re-examine some of my opinions about life and perspectives.
2:25 (Goal Setting)
In this portion he stated that he thinks goal setting doesn't get people anywhere, it either discourages them due to failure or leaves them unsatisfied once said goal has been achieved. I've been taught my whole life that goals are extremely useful, and I have to stick with that opinion. The whole point of goal setting is to strive to do more. So even if you fail initially, that shouldn't be discouraging. Goals are meant to be set beyond what you know you can achieve. And with the right attitude, time and efforts, anything is possible. However, when it comes to the after math of achieving your goals, I remained somewhat puzzled. What does come after? More goals? Disappointment? These questions were actually answered in his next topic of "work being more fun than fun". It's not about the end result, it's about how you feel doing the work you need to do to get there. But this to me supports my opinion that goals are necessary. If you don't aim high and set goals for yourself, then you have nothing to work for or to look forward to.

"You don't think in statistics, you think in examples, in stories."
This is so true because we don't have emotional connections to numbers or boring facts. We value other peoples' experiences over scientific facts because it's easier. It's hard to think of a possible situation occuring without previous experience.

We should focus on the idea of "we think in stories".

lol what haley said
