GS2741 UNIT 1 ASSIGNMENT 1
When it comes to persistence and enthusiasm, courage plays a huge role because it is what it takes to make that decision, to sum up courage when it comes to persistence and enthusiasm, courage give people the push they need to get things done, to strive not only for excellence, but to become number one, without courage most people would not have the persistence or enthusiasm to complete anything in life. Courage would almost be considered a guideline to have the want to get anything done; courage gives people the push when things go wrong. To achieve any problems or goals that you may have in your head, you have to be positive and metalize that that’s what you want and that you are going to fight until the end and make you goals happened, but none of that would be achieve without self-motivation, persistence and enthusiasm that’s why courage is the engine of all that.

The video I chosen is http://www.ted.com/talks/giles_duley_when_a_reporter_becomes_the_story This video talks about a guy that after working as a fashion and music photographer for many years he realized that he could do more than he was already doing with his photography’s, one day he set down and started thinking what he could do to make something different out of his profession, so he decided to travel the world and look for the most difficult stories he can find, he met this kid that had a severe autism and started sharing moments with him and along the years they became close friends, then he realized that the kid was living his own frustrated world without nobody noticing it.
So he started thinking about all of that and decided to use his photography to let the world know about his friend’s life, he started taking pictures about different moments of his life and after a couple years of showing this story to the world some people who really cared did something about this kid that has been suffering for a long time in his own little world, he contact this person a few years later and thanked him for what he has done for him.
He decided after that to visit an abandoned town where the government left them behind so he started visiting this town and talking to all this people in this town and seeing the pain that this population was going true sickness, illness, hungriness etc so all this people started coming after him thinking tha he was the one that was going to help them and he got a little scared about it, but he got over that and finally accomplished something for this forgiven town, later he decided to visit Ukraine and lived with a group of young people that all they did was drink with no hope in their life’s, he started to get to know all this people one by one, shared great moments with them and showed the world how were this people living their life’s, he saw that one of this young guys had an strong virtue with photography and started teaching him a little bit about it and let him use his camera but after all he started doing for him the day he was finally leaving the kid woke up dead after being drinking and taking some pills.
For last he decided to go to Afghanistan where his was injured by a bomb and the day he realized that the story was him, he showed the people that you can have a disability but not disable that no matter what happened to you as long as you have a goal you go for it and never said you cant.
We can see how persistent this person was because no matter how scary or dangerous was the situation he never said no to any of the people he met and he always tried to help them. He had a lot of courage because not everybody will go into towns like he did all by himself.
I believed that the people after seeing his story will think twice when it comes to see someone that needs help and not have the courage to help this people.
