I think that her facts were quite right because the way she talked about males and females can be seen happening in real life. When she says that males usually think that they do well at something because they think their awesome or so smart. While for females, I guess most of the girls underestimate themselves because the people I know are always wondering if this was the right or wrong thing to do and such. I think that if women had more leadership roles then it might be a good thing because maybe females will stop underestimating themselves. Though, I think that there should be a male and female in the leadership roles so that both sides have equal opinions on things.

Also, if our name has more of the product, then we wouldn't have have to explain what our products are. I think that our name is easy to read and different though, the article says that we should make our name understandable, meaningful, and broad.

I have learned that you should make reasonable choices like the amount we are going to spend and we should think of the bad and good things that could happen to our business.

3. How will you ensure that you get paid on time?

I learned that you should have someone in charge of the money and that it is important that you let your customers know the prices.  Also, you need to have control; if you don't then the company may run out of cash fast.

I have learned from watching that video would be that we should help the world become a cleaner and better place. If we keep doing what were doing now like transmitting tons of carbon dioxide and littering, then in 2020, the world will be in troubled and that would mean the future generation would be in trouble as well. Also, the things we are doing are bad for the biosphere. I also learned how to calculate the impact we are having on the environment by using the formula I=PXA divided by T. "I" stands for Environmental Impact, "T" stands for Technology, "P" stands for Population, and "A" stands for Affluence.

What can you take from this video into your own work?
In this video, he says that instead of following one idea or concept, its better that we should have diverse ideas. I think that this "concept" will be good for our main business because instead of using one idea, we should use a bit of everyone ideas. I also think that after using one idea, everybody will get tired of it and will  stop buying our products. So if we have a variety of ideas, then it may keep our main business running.

How do convincing speakers vary their speech when they speak for different purposes and to different people?
I think convincing speakers can change their tone and the way they speak depending on where they are or what they are doing. Like for example, if they were with their friends, then they would talk casually and not too professional. Though, if they were at a meeting, their tone and the use of words would be different. Plus, they would want to sound professional and convincing.
