When you look at children, you realize they have all the opportunities in the universe, and boy, it is a thrill to find out how they will choose to direct their lives. Of course, they will have adults and mostly their parents telling them what to do and so forth, but they still can rise above their circumstances. It’s really exciting to listen to children because you believe they will overcome life someday (once they get there), but today they don’t have to worry about that and guess what, when you are around them, you don’t either man! It gives you a chance to pretend that you are a kid again and not some lame adult with a load of responsibilities on your shoulders. I always tell kids to enjoy being a kid as long as they can because being an adult has a lot more responsibilities and you don’t have as much time to play. I have yet to hear any of them say, “But we just can’t wait to be adults!” Way to observe this dilemma man. Yes, sometimes, even dogs are treated better than football players LOL.

I would point out the need to not let how one person feels determine how you feel or determine your own mood. Think for yourself and stand firm on your beliefs Another point that i would mention is how dangerous it is to make important business decisions basd on emotions. There was no consistency in emotions they change with the wind. Hi Jonathan,

Sprinkles, I don't know what you are trying to do man, but if I had to use this piece in my talk, I would use it as an introductory piece. This video is an introductory teaser into your talk. To transition from it into my talk, I would use in addition, similar pictures to invoke a reponse from the audience. Ha ha, Sesame Street.

So this time of the year is crazy for everyone. Don't forget school just started so the kids ain't got their minds in gear yet. Be patient with 'em. They are not feeling anyone right now. The presentation/speech you gave them will pop up in their minds sometime during the school year or even sometime in their life. Be encouraged and keep doing what you do best. You're gonna win 'em!
