Tony Dungy’s talking in Red Zone ’09 states that when a person is on a death bed, they realize that life I about having a working relationship with people. I learned that these relationships include love, love, and be loved. Tony has been in pastoral ministry for over 2 decades and attests that people always question how they had lived their lives before moving to the next level. I learned that everybody has a purpose in their lives and it is upon them to figure it and fulfill it. Having the ability to look back at my life and evaluate its success is an important stage in life thus useful in my professional career. I will be able to reflect on my life and measure my success by ensuring I make a difference where and when it is needed. I should have the aim of living, loving, and leaving the world a better place, that is the impact I need to have.
According to Dr. Gregory A. Dale, a sports psychology and ethics professor states that people believing in themselves is essential since it is a contributing factor to their lives. I will use this information to encourage other people about the importance of believing in themselves. The videos are great because they provide new information that makes me question which kind of legacy I am going to leave behind. The videos encourage people to have self-confidence, be responsible, and respectful.
