Watch the video from the link titled “Elements of Greatness”
Describe in your own words (between 100 to 200 words) what is the video trying to emphasise on and what are the positive and negative, (if any), effects from this video.
------------------I personally feel that the video is inspiring, especially with the line “It is not enough to be the best when you have the ability to be great”.
It emphasizes on us finding the motivation or drive to excel, as it uses messages like “What drives you?” and “What inspires you into action?” Overall, it aims to tell us to push on forward, giving our most, instead of just giving more. The positive effect of the video is that it tells us to look deep down into ourselves and to find that spark. While I cannot speak for the general public, a person of low self-esteem would most likely feel even more depressed after viewing this video. To them, they might feel that they do not have any worth at all and the messages and questions in the video only serve to rub salt into the wound.
Also, “success” and “greatness” are very subjective, not to mention vague. What I find “successful” might be a “failure” in someone else’s eyes. Also, I feel that the video should not just be for motivating employees. It should apply to every living person. “Success” and “Greatness” do not only come in the forms of career and material riches.
All in all, I feel that it is a good video to watch if you need a pick-me-up, but there are better ways of motivating people, instead of just asking them questions about what motivates them.
