   Matthew McConaughey won best actor for the 2014 awards, he did an incessant speech about who his hero is and the people who he wants to make most proud of him. He says that when he was 15 someone came up to him and asked him who is you hero he replied my hero is me 10 years in the future, the same guy came up to him again and asked him the same question 10 years later and he replied by the same thing. Mathew McConaughey believes that he can never be his own hero because he is always his own yet 10 years later.


    My own hero I would believe is my parents because they've given me various opportunities to learn and grow and become who I am now. Although I do have a lot of people that support me and surround me in the best moments needed, my parents were always the ones who'd help me get over something and flourish.


    In my opinion, I feel like Matthew McConaughey's answer was very bizarre. Because I would've never expected him to have this answer and actually take time to talk about who his hero is in the middle of the 2014 award.

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...
