Speech - Ted Talk

One day I was at home after a long time at school and my mom told me to go read the book, which I was going to have a test about. I told her that I couldn't do it because I was doing something much more important: playing FIFA. She got mad at me and I had to read the book, but two days later, I started researching and I found out that playing videogames is something more importante that most people think it really is. And today I'm going to tell you some benefits and facts about playing videogames regularly.

First of all, I found out that playing videogames is extremely helpful when it comes to avoiding and fighting diseases. For example, a study made in the University of Ottawa tested the Nintendo videogame Wii on people who

These facts prove that playing videogames can improve your efficiency and handeye coordination, and in some cases even improve your health.

Playing videogames can also be very good to the social life. In today's generations of videogames, people are able to play online while talking to whoever they're playing with. Another important point is that it can bring the family closer with a game that envolves everyone, even when sometimes, it can end up in a fight. It is also very important for the memory of a person. Studies have shown that students remember 90% more of the information in a simulation than in a book or magazine. It can be an important and efficient method of teaching in the future. I think that, if it's well developed, the use of videogames can become a way of teaching, and most importantly, a way for preventing and possibly curing mental diseases by keeping the mind working at full speed.

Lastly, and for me one of the most important facts that I've learnt through all the days spent playing videogames is that it gives you the chance to try again. It shows that every struggle and hard time can be passed by trying again and trying even harder than the last time.

    I absolutely had to use a photo of Princess Diana because I was a huge fan of hers. I remember watching her wedding on television when I was a young child, and I cried like a baby when she met her untimely demise. I don't recall every crying like that when a celebrity died, but she was my heroine and I loved her! Since then I've kept up with the ins and outs of the Royal Family and the shenanigans of Prince Harry, my now favorite Prince. He is a Princess Diana reincarnated in the male form. Lives by his own rules and with not a care in the world. Madison and I were able to visit the Madame Tussauds London museum while on our trip to London just recently, thanks to the kind folks of Merlin Entertainment. Since this is most likely the only way we'll ever get to the meet the Royal Family we just had to do it. Now if you're thinking all wax museums are the same, well Madame Tussauds London is on a whole new level of awesome. I've…

    The way you persevere is by staying. As a Chaplin how difficult has it been to "stay" when you are dealing with death? As you pray with people in the midst of death and after the loss of their loved one, do you have a set time that you can "stay" or preserve with the family? I know that loss is hard and that everyone deals with it differently. I know that some of the people that you are involved with may need you for the moment or seem to need you for a lifetime, but that there has to be an end in sight for your personal wellbeing.…

    Imagine that you trained all your life for that special moment of playing in your first NHL game. At the beginning of your first shift in the game suddenly another player’s stick comes up and strikes you in the eye. This incident ends your career.

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
