This video is very interesting, because it talks about how people can perceive situations. The video also mentions what your natural default settings are. My natural default setting is the way I see things, the way I feel about things, and the way I want things to be. My natural default setting is all about me. I could always see school as in a waste of my time, but if I look at it that way, then I wouldn't be able to see the good things it could bring me. My natural default setting is when the radio doesn't play my type of music, or when it keeps on repeating the same song over and over again. I can't really find any solution that prevents my hatred for the radio, other than turning it off. But I could always ask myself what do other people like about this song. This way of thinking may not help my case, but I could always see things differently. This video by David Foster Wallace really makes me see things in a different manner. It taught me to never judge how a person behaves because you never know what they had actually gone through to end up like this in the end. I think the speaker values awareness because without it you would never be able to think differently or have many different solutions to one problem.
