Very interesting tactic to open the eyes of Americans. I love the humor and truth behind this clip. We as an American society, are quick to become frustrated and bogged down but often forget the things that we are truly blessed with. Problems vs inconveniences!
So true! It seems like the more technology speeds everything up, the more easily frustrated we become when things are momentarily slowed down. We so quickly morph inconveniences into problems.
The one quote that sticks with me the most from the class so far is: "Stress is 90% perspective". I tend to over react to many stressful situations in my life, which leads to an unhealthy "me" as a whole. Thanks for making me laugh and really understand how important laughter is in my life:) HA HA HA HA
Thanks for making me laugh. Good class again this year. Thanks for giving me time to read tuesdays with Morrie. He had the right idea about life. Material things don't matter, love does.
I agree with Annie!!!!! I watched this again......and then I'm blogging with my iPhone and trying not to get frustrated when I hit the wrong button....ha ha
Hilarious...I'm sure I've been one of those people he is talking about! I get to take my four year old on a plane for the first time next week, I'll be thinking about he miracle of flight ;)
This made me laugh, and I had to share it with my family. I think next time I fly I should exclaim excitedly throughout the whole flight, "WOW! ISN'T THIS AMAZING! WE ARE FLYING THROUGH THE AIR! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!"
EVERY time I watch this I laugh hard out loud!(and it has been many) I too, have shared it with many and use it when my children complain about speed of internet, auto traffic, etc... It is so good to have this site to refresh me and give me a pick me up as needed.
I love this video and watching this adds minutes to my 6.5 minutes of belly laughing I can't wait to share it with friends at school. It seems all to often there are road blocks to the school's technology and services. It makes my job frustrating at times when I want to share something with my class and it is blocked or technology is down for some reason..grrr
Funny the second time around too. I liked the part where the guy in the plane got mad when the Internet crashed, and he only knew it existed for 10 min. I love technology, but we sometimes forget how to live without it.
