TED talk comparisons

In this TED talk Matt Cutts talks to the audience about how trying new things for 30 days can change your life and the way you live it.But it is the way that he does his talk that convinces me and possibly other viewers that his idea has validity and is an idea worth trying. Cutts walks on stage in a t-shirt and jeans which automatically suggests to the audience that this is a relaxed topic. This also gives the viewer a sense that Cutts is a normal guy like everyone else, making it much easier for the viewer to relate. When Cutts begins his speech he jumps right in to his personal story and experiences doing the "30 day challenges". This allows the viewer to see that the guy telling us to do something does it himself. This gives the viewer much more confidence in the speaker and the idea that he is presenting. Cutts also gives another reason to accept this challenge. Cutts claimed that when trying these new things, time seems to slow down and you are often able to remember life in a more meaningful way. Cutts does a really good job of persuading his audience to try this idea, and i know after watching this I want to try something new for 30 day
 
This TED talk presents a completely different style of presentation. Stacey Kramer is in a completely different attire from Matt Cutts(from previous TED talk). She chose to wear a formal dress and high heels suggesting to the audience that her talk is more formal. In this talk Kramer Shares her own story of a gift that she received that has changed her life. She starts the speech with telling what the gift has given her. She challenges the audience to imagine what this gift could possibly be. From the beginning, the audience begins to realize that this is no ordinary gift. However, Kramer knows this but she knows this and this is what she uses to make the viewer think about what a gift like a tumor can do for a person that is not normally thought about. At the end Kramer challenges everyone to think about everything that happens to them and think of it as a gift in some way instead of a burden. And because of Stacey Kramer's story you cant help but believe that if she can do it with cancer then why can't we with our everyday lives.
