Secrets of Success in 8 words

Do it for love not money; shyness and self-doubt; mothers. These ways of 'success' are just few out of a thousand. In 3 minutes the spokesperson of TED for today claimed that within 8 ways; you would be successful. (serve, passion, work, focus, persist, ideas, good, push and serve.) To serve is to prove what you got, passion is the fire within to bring your idea to life, work is the adrenaline pumping through to get where you need to, focus is your mindset of success, persist is to keep yourself in tact, idea is the natural root of success, good is.. good, and to push is to go through and not quit for anything.

Advertisements

Define it in your own words: Advertisements is a secret brainwashing activity. It's mainly for consumers to consider their marketing and once us consumers give in and buy whatever the ad was representing; they win.

Give examples of good advertisements: Redbull (redbull gives you wings,) and fun ads for school brands like 5 star.

What facts or characteristics are true of good advertisements: Popularity, consumers choice and sometimes, quality.

Give examples of bad advertisements: Long advertisements that don't get to the point until the end.
