Youtube

1. What is the impact of YouTube to us?
2. How can we use YouTube for education?
3. How do you see YouTube evolving 10 years from now?

YouTube is a very important tool to people this days because of its contribution to us. YouTube has a big impact to me because it gives me many information. It also gives me time to relax and have fun when I watch funny videos and music videos.

YouTube can be used for education by watching education videos in the site. There are many videos in YouTube that will help the students in their studies, we just need to be sure that the video the we are viewing is credible.

I can see that YouTube will be even more powerful 10 years from now. Maybe all people will have access in YouTube and all will rely in it. I can say that YouTube will dominate its industry.

Benjamin Franklin and Deliberate Practice by Shawn Callahan

The article talks about the importance of practice and hard work and how these traits was used by Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. “The fact is it takes practice to be good at anything. Some estimate 10,000 hours of practice. But it is not just any type of practice. You need to engage in deliberate practice just like Ben Franklin did to be world the renowned writer and communicator he became.”

As we can see in the article, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin both succeeded because they have these traits. Many people always think that they are a failure as a person because they cannot do what they want / what they are supposed to do. I think that the main problem is that they do not have hard work to do the things that they must do. With hard work, they will have the will to finish the task that they are supposed to do. They also need to practice so that failure will be minimized and the chance of success would go higher.

Childhoodz

The most memorable part of childhood is the time when I and my cousins used to play a lot. During that time, all of us live in a single compound and we study in the same school that's why all of us were very close. Our bonding time is usually in the afternoon where all of have returned from school. We usually play "habulan", "taguan", and other physical games that children normally play(I'm not sure if this still applies to children nowadays). I really treasure this days since all of us are busy today. We see each other on the church regularly but we seldom go out and bond because of the tight schedule of everyone.

Another good part of my childhood is we go to our province in Batangas to visit my grandparents. My grandparents are really good people and they treat me very well(especially when I was a kid). My parents occasionally leave me on my grandparents' house for about 1 week for a vacation. They also give me lots of gifts and money in Christmas time(I'm glad that they still do this today).

I would be really glad if my future kids would also experience what I've experienced in my awesome childhood days. I want them to experience these things so that they can grow up as super as me!
