Words of a child

              What makes a video so popular on YouTube? Is it because of the of the message of the video or is it because the video makes you laugh. I video I found to have a great message behind and also is becoming very Popular is the "Pep Talk From Kid President." This video is about a adolescent boy who gives you advice. His words are moving, even though they are coming from his young mouth. The video, I think, is so popular because it gives hope for the new generation to come and also to my generation. Hope is a powerful thing making men go crazy just to have it. What I really like in the video is the poem the kid shares. "Two road diverged in the woods..." "... And I took the road less traveled." This quote makes me think that in life doing the same routine everyday is the way to live life to its fullest. Making new friends, trying new extracurricular actives can change life from good to great. As the kid puts it "Boring is easy; everybody can be boring. But you're "gooder" than that." The popularity of this video comes from the wisdom that such a young boy can have on life. Not only is there humor in this video, which is very funny, but also a gives a little push for you to go out and do something new in your life. This video is a great one and can be shown to those that needs a push in the right direction with plenty of laughs.

The shot of no return

          We've all had that moment when the spot light is on us to make a basketball shot, but we don't make it. The embarrassment of not making it can have it tole on people but, what are some ways to make a shot no one will forget. It's is a simple process of just 5 steps.

1st: When bragging or the center of attention when shooting a shot just remember this, choose a shot that us relatively easy for you to make. It is a simply shot but will have a twist later on.

2nd step: When you have chosen a location to shoot spread your legs so they are shoulder width apart and grip the ball firmly in your hands. These maneuvers is a message to everyone that you know what you are doing even if you have no clue how to shoot properly.

3rd step: Now comes the twist, when standing to make your shot do a complete 180 turn so that the back of your head is pointed towards the basketball hoop. This might sound observed but you want a shot that no one will forget and this is your chance. The expression "go big or go home," sure does come in handy for a situation like this one.

4th step: When standing and preparing for your shot take a few peaks behind you so that you can line up your shot. When confident about your shot shoot it and hope for the best.

5th step: There are two options for you, you either made the shot of missed it two complete opposites of each. If you made it you can brag about how good you are by jumping up and down and yelling to the top of your lungs. If you miss though just shrug it off. Since the shot was so strange you can simply show and tell to the crowd that you didn't care about making it even though deep down you wanted to along.

          These steps can take you to fame and fortune but only if you complete them correctly.
