Ted Talk 2 (David Blaine: How I held my breath for 17 min)

This video was really inspiring. After watching this I have learned to go after the impossible. David Blaine trained day after day for this death-defying feat and accomplished it with much focus and concentration. No one believed he could actually hold his breath underwater for 17 minutes long and everyone said it was impossible, but, he never gave up. David pushed through stress and contractions (trying to breathe) and made a new world record. He held his breath for 17 minutes. David explained his story in this Ted Talk very fluently and he used his life accomplishments to show all that he has been through. He presents his information using videos, pictures, and his experiences to convey the message to the audience. This video shows people that unimaginable goals can be reached regardless of if they are possible or not. This helps me realize I can do anything I set my mind to, no matter how impossible it may seem. Education can use this Ted Talk to show their students to set high goals and do their best because students can accomplish amazing things. This Ted Talk also applies to the world because no matter how difficult times may be, you can overcome them and exceed the expectation. This Ted Talk can influence people to do the most they can and they will succeed with focus, concentration, and training of the task.
