Two Visuals: Commitment and Consciousness of Self

First I am going to talk about the consciousness of self. I have a YouTube clips showing people should have a clear self-consciousness about themselves, otherwise it would be a big problem threaten their life and their family’s life’s. The girl in commercial think she is too fact to wear pretty clothes. And she is sad because of her body shape. But from the fact angel, we can tell that she is too so skinny that she only has bone left on her body.  Because she has the wrong self-consciousness, she brings unnecessary trouble to her selves, which she can definitely avoid it. Commercial remind people should have a real self consciousness about themselves, then it would be a great characteristic to bring benefits to them, otherwise, it would be a drawback.

Second one is a picture of Steve Jobs. The reason I choose him to be my visual sample, is I think he has a very clear and rational commitment to his product, which is Apple corp. At that time Apple’s market share is only 5 %, he understand what he is doing is to integrate new technology to human’ life. The only way to bring a new technology to the public is make it adapt to people’s daily life. For years, he focuses on his commitment and does his research to reach his goal. After he successes, which he has almost 80% market share in the market. He continues discover more benefits to people. So I think Steve Jobs might be the best example to talk about commitment. Only people has commitment can success on the area they focus on.
