TED talk from Laura Trice about saying "Thank you"

While I was watching this TED talk I realized that most of the TED talks I have watched have not dealt with true human emotion.  To hear someone talk about a topic she so truly believed in was inspirational in its own way.  My take aways from this video are to make sure I thank people for the little things in life and make sure I appreciate when people thank me.


This speaker's effective techniques were relating to herself and what matters to her.  By showing her emotions, she is a much more relatable person and is a much more effective speaker.  During my TED talk, which will be about having faith in all aspects of life, I will try to relate to people. I think showing emotions to people is a key part of a successful TED talk.


Ms. Trice's presentation style was humble in a way.  She did not have any back-drops or pictures, she just talked to the audience. It was a fairly short TED talk, about the length of time I will have in class to present my own TED talk.  Although she had limited time, she got her point across and it felt very good to see a shorter TED talk than the other ones I have seen.


This video matters because of the message it gives to all people. Something I did not notice in my other TED talks was an option on the bottom of the screen.  It was a language selector.  This 4-minute presentation was available in 32 different languages!  This matters to the world because it is truly a universal message.
