He has also written a book named how great leaders inspire everyone to take action in which he explains the same concept

  Why we should watch this ted talk

This Ted Talk video is about a man named Simon Sinek talk about how Great leaders inspire action. I think we should watch this ted talk because of a couple reasons. One reason was that the video was easy to understand and taught me a new thing. He proved his point when he was talking about how great leaders inspire action by bring up leaders such as Apple, the Wright brothers, and more. We should also watch this video/ted talk because to me it was very interesting and I think other people would find it interesting he proved his point by bringing up answering the questions who, what, and why for each question he drew a circle and for the question why he put it in the middle. What was interesting was that he answered the questions in a simple but interesting way explaining everything you need to know about what he was talking about. He was telling us that great leaders explain why they do it rather than what they do which can create success which was the most interesting part to me.

My favourite journal prompt

I think that sports do play a role in heritage and culture. Different cultures prefer playing or watching different sports. To some people like me they love sports and take it pretty seriously. Many people also stand by one team and always want them to win. Sports play a role in culture because they are always competitive, you either lose or win. In some sports like soccer there are really big tournaments for example the World Cup had the world involved in it. Last year Germany won against Argentina to win the World Cup and was watched by over 100 million people, because it was so big and was took so seriously. Different cultures always want there own team to win and often have rivalries in sports like soccer, basketball, and more. Sports are all about big competition and play a role in culture because everyone wants there culture to win, or country to win.

 People like me take sports so seriously because in my opinion it's more than just a sport. To become a professional athlete is very hard and takes hours of practice every day. Many people had sports play an important role in their lives. They have been playing and watching sports since they were kids. Sports fans usually go for teams that's representing their city or country. People also bet lots of money on teams because they take it so competitive and serious. Sports teach people honour and respect. Fans are passionate to watch the games because sports are really entertaining to people.

 People also take sports so seriously because they may love to play the sports themselves so it's really entertaining for them. Some sports get really intense like when it's the final and the score gets really close, at that point you don't know who's gonna win. One of the biggest games in soccer is known as el Classico when Real Madrid and FC Barcelona face. There are equal amount of fans for both teams. At the point they are the two best teams right now which is why everyone loves when they face each other.

 I am a sports fan because I enjoy watching and playing sports. Playing sports to me is fun because if you want to get good you have try to get good, as I said before athletes practiced for hours everyday to get where they are today. Also watching sports keep me entertained from the beginning to the end of the match. Seeing athletes play get me inspired because I want to be as good as them. Watching sports also help me and make me better at sports for example when I watch them play I will learn to do what they do or how to shoot a basketball, or kick a soccer ball.

Sports make me happy all the time, they always put me in a good mood. I always want to keep playing, and watching them until I no longer can. In general I love sports.
