1) Summarize the “Ted” talk or selected video. Shawn Anchor talked about positive psychology and the way we tend to look at success and happiness backwards.

I do, however, believe that Epictetus had a strong point when he asserted that we should only, rationally-speaking, worry about what we can change -- what good is there in worrying about things we cannot
A bunch of performers gathered together to just do what they enjoy and raise money for a cause that is very important. This shows the fact that they are very good hearted in nature and wish to do for others.
