Austin Cottingham - The Most Important Day

The Most Important day opened my eyes to what Hellen Keller did and had to go through compared to the average person. She must have done triple times the work to understand things than we must have. It really puts things into perspective, what great people with the will to succeed has done. People like Hellen Keller have existed in every generation, those kinds of people keep proving that more can be done with humanities knowledge and prowess. Some examples of these great people include Einstien, George Washington, Socrates, Great Kahn, and Abraham Lincoln to just name a few. The world has been shaped hugely by these amazing people. What do all of these people have in common you may ask? The will to succeed and keep a level head when others do not. For example, Hellen couldn't see and be deaf, yet she was able to understand people and go to college.  Abraham Lincoln changed the face of America and helped establish some civil living standards. Also, important days happen throughout history, like the day George Washington won our independence from the British. Therefore, important days happen a lot more than we think. We only think about important things when we need too, why not think of important days and events more often? My important days are not near as exciting as other peoples. One of my more important days was when I got almost all a's last year, or when I got my sixteen-year-old license, exciting I know. My point is, important days are what we make of them, not what others think of them. Importance comes from our soul, not others. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk goodnight.
