TED2006: Why we do what we do by Tony Robbins “Your model of the world is what shapes you long term…That’s what’s shaping us. It makes people make decisions” are the exact words of Tony Robbins at TED2006 in his inspirational TED talk (talk), Why we do what we do. Robbins calls himself the “why guy” who is dedicated to uncover people’s motivation for their actions. He believes that emotion is the force of life, and that if humans get the right emotions, they can accomplish anything. The main idea of his presentation is the fulfillment of the last two out of the six human needs he mentioned, growth and contribution, so people can give back and appreciate others in return.

First, it is of no question that Robbins is a tall guy, and his height and stance can be quite intimidating for some, and in addition to that, he is wearing a long and loose suit jacket that flaps as he strides back and forth the stage. Second, Robbins’ voice sounds raspy and it is difficult to understand some words during his talk. In addition, he speaks quite fast and some of the audience might not be able to catch important points of his topic. He also includes swear words every now and then, and some people might not be comfortable hearing foul words in a presentation. Lastly, Robbins turn his back from the audience at some point of his presentation to face his slides, and he is quite impatient when his slides will not move to the next page right away. These are all the areas where Robbins can improve on, to further deliver exceptional presentations for his audience. In conclusion, Tony Robbins’ TED talk at TED2006 is presented persuasively and excellently. He has delivered it in an expressive way with so much passion that persuades the audience. Although there are areas that he needs to improve on, his confidence and strong communications skills has allowed him to deliver a high-quality presentation. Therefore Tony Robbins should keep holding presentations so he can positively influence

For this public speaking reaction paper, I choose to go see my Pastor Milton Mendez give a sermon at his church located at 2105 Palisades Ave, Union City New Jersey on December 6, 2015.

He quickly went on to describe the definition of being free and gave a small overview of what he was going to cover on that particular date. Through the presentation, Pastor Milton uses a visual aid in the form of an overhead projector.

At the very beginning of Robbins’ speech, he establishes his credibility and takes hold of the audience's emotions in order to push his message into the minds of his audience. He prompts laughter when he states that as a motivational speaker “the shortest seminar I usually do is 50 hours.” Their confidence in his ability to provide excellent knowledge on this topic is strong, allowing the information to settle in their minds without doubts. Combined with the pathetic response to his quote, the audience becomes relaxed and trusting. Robbins gets their emotions involved from the very start because he knows that they are one of the biggest motivating factors behind actions.
The presidential debate in 1960 was a stepping stone to how candidates could win a presidential race. This was the first televised debate that anyone had ever seen.

Play is limited based on where the center of the structure is located. What we believe to be the center of a structure is, in fact, not the center because that is what has been normalized at the center. Instead, the true center of a structure allows the concept of sociological imagination to place an emphasis on the experience of the individual and its relationship to society as the focal point of all sociological understanding; the sociological imagination allows for a full engagement with play. Play helps the reader examine and analyze different aspect of the reading.

He has a great balance between informing and winning the audience’s
The only true thing one can build upon is their own knowledge, which can grant personal fulfillment yet to acheieve within the world that alone is not sufficient. Charisma, economic boosts, appeal to others ensure à person’s ability to succeed rather than their own ability.
