Video Summary and Reaction

In this video, Richard St. describes eight secretes of success, after he spent seven years of research and interviewed 500 people. Then, he showed this list through 3 minutes in a perfect presentation. The first secret is passion, he said that people should do their work for love not for money. The second one is work, to be successful , people have to work hard because nothing comes easy. Then he mentioned the role of practice, in order to become good at your work. Moreover, people should focus on themselves to find their career and have to push themselves to work on their interests. Then, we need to feel that our work as serving others something of value to get a taste of your efforts. Another secret that he explained is creating ideas which come from listening, observing, curiosity, solving problems and making connection. Finally, he said that a persist to failure is considered as crucial role to be successful.

For me, I totally agree with him and I think this list collect all secretes of success. but, the most one which I like it is love your work because when you like your work will enjoy it, try to do more, get expert so definitely will success. For example, if you liked your major that study you would try to get highest mark, but if you didn't like it, you wouldn't be care about your grades, just you want to pass. Also, we shouldn't forget to persist our problems that could face us at any time in our lives.
I wish a successful life for all.

  2. Hey Alaa!

    I hope that you are doing well. I think that you've included a lot of details and that your paraphrasing is good. I don't really agree when you say that he has given a "perfect presentation" though. I would actually like to watch his 2-hour presentation to make up my mind about his ability as a presenter!

    Other than that nonetheless, I believe that he is right in his summary about the factors that lead to success. About your question, I don't really think that I am successful yet in English- you can always learn more. But, my performance is the current course will certainly determine where I stand in that path to success!

    Take care Alaa. I'll see you tomorrow.
