Daniel Pink TED Talk Response

            I take away a few different topics from this video. First of all money doesn't really motivate. It has to matter to you. To do a job there has to be self motivation. If it doesn't matter then why do it. Sometimes motivation comes from asking questions and wanting to know why it happens. Sometimes I put things off or don't do it but then I almost always go back and do it because I want to know why it happens or how to understand it. I also think it is important to not have a schedule like Pink mentioned with ROWE. Everyone works at their own pace and should be given time to get things done when they want. Personally I get my work done quicker in math and sometimes need more time in say Spanish or English. It would be nice to have longer time on those subjects and be able to leave math fairly quickly. Pink has a specific speaking technique of talking about many different aspects of a topic that relate to one big thing. Every story he told related back to The Candle Problem vs. The Candle Problem for Dummies. This keeps the audience captivated. Similarly, Pink presents in a casual manner with a few slides to show as visuals. He throws in a few jokes here and there to keep the attention again. The idea of rewards not really working matter from this video. I wholeheartedly agree. If someone doesn't want to do something well they won't. Even if they are going to get a reward. If the were to have an incentive they would just rush through the job to get the prize more quickly. This video matters to me on a personal level because I always try to get things done and think outside the box. My parents don't pay me or anything for getting good grades and I can't understand why people slack for no reason. I feel many people should see this video to become more motivated. This video connects to education  because it shows how people are able to think outside the box more and finish more tasks when there is no reward. As Pink said, rewards on jobs with more than one solution cause more time to be taken and less people solve the issue. When teachers give an abstract problem they can't offer rewards if they want better results. Finally this video relates to the world because it shows how people work differently with different rewards and incentives. Daniel Pink also brings up an important phrase, " There is a mismatch between what science knows and what business does." We know that people work better without rewards yet business still offer them to their employees. They need to take a step back and realize how to change their original system of doing things to allow people to get more done on their own time and in their own way.
