Lollipop Moments



                                                                 Lollipop Moments



   Drew Dudley talks about his first day of university where he was giving out lollipops to the new comers, while he came up to a girl that was terrified and was a second into quoting university. He gave her a lollipop with a creepy look on his face, she took the lollipop and changed her mind into staying for university. Drew Dudley named this moment "The Lollipop Moment" which is a moment where someone said something or did something that you feel  fundamentally made your life better. This moment can be why you said or what someone said.


   Drew Dudley made me wonder if I had/have any "lollipop Moment". I remember about 2 years ago I was in Art Class and the teacher told us to draw the galaxy, I drew it and at the time I was ambitious about art. When I was done with the drawing everyone looked at it with amazement and that really made me feel happy with my work and that moment changed my perspective about art and made me continue drawing and appreciate my talent.

The Danger of a Single Story - TedTalk

  The Danger of a Single Story       This TedTalk is about a girl from Nigeria, who has lived there up until she had to leave home to study abroad in the US. She talks about how she used to judge her new house boy because the only image she had of him was that he was poor. Then, when she went to college in the US, her roommate judged her based off of the idea that she is from Nigeria. However, as she got to know her, the roommate then realized that they have a lot of similarities.      Relating why she was telling these stories, she focuses on the fact that a single/ one sided story  isn't going to lead to anything throughout the whole TedTalk. In my opinion, it is exactly like a story with different perspectives. Listening to only one side of a story, is as useless as having just one pair of a shoe. For example. the roommate was only listening to what she was hearing from the people around her, and seeing on social media. These were all a si...

The Surprising Science of Happiness | Dan Gilbert

  "Turns out that freedom, the ability to make up and change your mind, is the friend of natural happiness"      Dan Gilbert talks about happiness as it comes with making choices. Making choices doesn't literally mean having to choose, but he explains it in a way that is interpreted by having to live on with something that was manipulated and chosen for you, or something that you were able to contemplate whether or not you want it. He later on speaks about an experiment that was done on Harvard photography students. Some of these students were given the choice to take home one of their photographs and not look back at the other one. Whereas the other half, were given a reversible option in which they had the option to go back and change which one they can go home with.      In my opinion, that actually does make sense. In a way, that is why some people are indecisive and find making any decision extremely hard since they always find a possibility of ha...
