 Today in class, I was most influenced by the TED talk we watched. The lady who spoke was very relatable to me, and I felt like I could connect to what she was saying. I was most fascinated with the part where she said you can not choose which emotions to "numb." If you num one bad emotion, your brain is forced to numb all of your emotions, which will leave you miserable. I feel that this can be taken literally with emotions, as well as metaphorically for life. For many things in life, the good has to come with some bad. With that being said however, you cannot have the good things in life without dealing with some negative. You can always make light of a situation and find the silver lining, but if you numb out the bad, you will be left with nothing. This is something I will definitely think about in the future moving forward.

 As we work more on our marketing plan, I am enjoying the exercises more and more. My personal favorite for today's was the list of influential people and the list of moments. For the influential people list, I automatically knew who to put down. The first person I wrote was my mom. My mom is my biggest supporter, and one of my role models in life. I strive to be even half as successful, happy, loving, charismatic, and intelligent as she is. Next, I wrote down my friend Lia. I am so influenced by Lia, for so many reasons but mostly because of her mindset. She does whatever she wants and never cares what others will think of her! Lastly, I put my dance teacher, Rachel. Rachel has always been like a second mom to me, and has taught me so much more than just dance. I am so influenced and so honored to know and have these ladies as a part of my life.

 Today in class we watched a video on motivation and positivity. It is so important to be motivated in whatever you do, especially in your career. Motivation is one of the key factors of success. This lesson made me think of my mom. She went to college and studied accounting all the way through her graduation. Once she graduated, she did an internship for an accounting firm and absolutely hated it. Because she had no motivation to do accounting, so she quit and completely changed her career path. Now she owns her own dance studio, and does what she is passionate about every single day. I hope to be motivated in my career like she is one day.

 In today's class, we watched a portion of the movie "the Guardian." I found this movie so moving, as the main character Jake fought so hard to protect his instructor, because he knew that was his main value. After we watched the movie we did a very interesting exercise, where we thought about happy situations and came up with 7 verbs and 7 nouns to describe these situations. We then picked our favorite of each category, and formed a sentence with the verb and noun. Little did we know, this sentence would end up being our personal mission! My sentence is not something I would ever write if I was told to come up with a "personal mission" so it was very eye-opening to see.
