This video was very interesting to me because I find high speed kayaking to be interesting. I personally couldn't do it, because I wouldn't be able to face the challenges he faces on a daily basis. Plus, I am afraid of losing my life doing such dangerous stunts. The guy in this video seems very motivated and determined to do this without any issues. He can even figure out any problems beforehand and make great decisions. He can overcome the rapid challenge.

I agree with this. Unfortunately it takes a lot of time to build experience. However, the only way to build experience is to work at it.

This video has a good point. Experience is key to performing your best. The more I experience in life the more I think about things in a well grounded mind set. There isn't just one way of doing things. If everyone in a sport did things the same way it wouldn't be interesting to watch or do.

Experience comes from being challenged and overcoming obstacles to achieve a goal. The more we have been through, the greater our knowledge becomes on how to avoid or get through life obstacles. At work, I have made many mistakes and learned from each one of them. Now that I have been with my company for a few years, I have learned what to do and not to do. I also know how to avoid certain negative situations. This has come from my experience. We shouldn't harp on our mistakes or life challenges, but rather learn from them and become better people.

Learn from your experiences. This video is true and is actual what i think employers want in today's society they want someone who has been through the ropes. In reference to the video he takes his hobby of kayaking and applies it to his video production company. So if you have a hobby or a memorable experience apply it and you get yourself a job.

I agree with the narrator in this video. Our experiences help us to get through challenges, even small ones. It's like the same as making mistakes. We grow from the mistakes we make, and we learn from our mistakes (or at least try). Our experiences help us to learn and to help us grow. Our experiences also prepare us for the future.

Very true!! Many people look at the process of accomplishing something instead of the outcome. If all you think about are the challenges that come along with it, you are more likely to fail because you are just overcome with fear. I have been guilty of this. When I started college I wanted to be in the medical field. Then soon realized how much time and effort went into it and I got scared because I am a B average student. I didn't want to set myself up for failure so I choose something easier. Looking back now, if I looked at the end results instead of the struggles that it brings, I would have made a different decision.

It's always interesting how so much knowledge can be shared in a one minute video. His concept is to not dwell on the past mistakes, experiences, and moments of your life or business. Those experiences should only be used to motivate you into moving forward more effectively and strategically. I like his idea of seeing the line and looking towards where I am going, rather than where I currently am. If we simply focus on our current situations, we fail to visualize the potential that we could gain in the future. We can sometimes lose sight of our mission and become lost on our path towards our goal. In life and in business, it is critical that we focus on the days ahead and the goals that we have before us. If we use our past experiences as a simple lesson and guide, we can avoid making the same mistakes, and can ultimately, reach our highest goals and potential.

It is hard to argue with this man's logic. You truly cannot know your limitations until you've tried to go past them. In repeatedly trying to surpass your own limitations, then I'm sure you can find yourself farther than when you started.

This video explains how life situations can help guide future decisions. If something you have done has turned out negatively, then we are most likely not to repeat the failed task, or we would try a different method to the task.

I think the video was ok. I mean everyone can relate things to business in some way, shape or form. I didn't know they had professional kayaking though. Experience does bring on better knowledge of how to handle certain situations which I always believe that's more important than someone telling you what to do. The more you do, the more you learn and grow. Use your mistakes and failures as lessons to help better yourself.

I like this video a lot because it translates to business so well. Quite obviously, someone who's experienced can overcome challenges more easily. However, the mindset of how to do that is something that's learned. It's very true that we can sometimes get bogged down with the problem at hand and lose sight of our ultimate goal. That happens to me quite frequently. But experience helps you realize what's in your way and helps you see a path to get you to your goal. Experience is a slow and painful process that builds you to better in the future. Good video, I would probably share it.

When job searching, most jobs want or require experience. But when you're just getting out of college like me, it's really hard to get a job because you haven't yet had the opportunity to gain experience. So this video doesn't teach me anything. My experiences don't make me feel any more confident to reach a goal because I don't feel like I've gained enough experience to be proud of. I'm lucky enough to have an internship my last semester of college that will hopefully give me a heads up with future job applications. But I'll be honest. I'm terrified.

I believe experience is important not only in business but also in everyday life. During football season, I work at the superdome selling dippin dots. I never thought that having this job would ever help me with real experience; however, I feel like having to handle many different types of fans (and lots of drunk people) has really helped with my customer service skills. After having this job, I really know how to deal with the pressure of having rude customers or having a line a mile long at half time and trying to fill everyone’s orders. It’s great experience and I know I can use these skills in other areas of my life.

I think that experience is certainly the best way to lean and forecast future interactions. Knowing how your business operates and what you have to do to be successful is very much a great way to be successful. I think the only problem with this theory is that in business nothing is concrete. There are millions of unforeseen factors that can effect businesses.
