Daniel Pink-TED Talk 3- Period 2

Dan Pink's TED talk was quite motivational. During his talk he showed everyone a puzzle where a person must tack a candle to a wall without letting the wax hit the table, a simple yet complicated problem. The initial thought was to tack the candle to the wall, then to melt the wax and adhere the candle to the wall. But neither of those options work, the answer is to tack the box holding the tacks to the wall and put the candle inside of it. A quite simple solution when it is shown. Thinking of how to use all components to its fully capacity is something that all humans are capable of and is the answer to most problems. However, most people don't use everything to its full capacity. Most people have motivation, a drive, inside of them but most people don't use it to its full capacity. Most people let the drive in them take over and solve all the problems in their lives. The people who do let the drive take over are the ones who are going to succeed in the world, the people who are going to get the good jobs and invent the best things. It's the drive in people that will set them apart form others.

Dan Pink gave a great speech with great fluency. What mattered to him was the drive or motivation in people and how it affects the world. He wants the world to know that rewards will only help in the short term not the long. Thats what matters to him.
