484 Words2 Pages

In today's fast-paced world, where competition is fierce and attention spans are short, it is becoming increasingly important for businesses and individuals to stand out from the crowd. Simon Sinek's thought-provoking video, "Start with Why," offers a compelling argument for why discovering and communicating our purpose is the key to success and fulfillment. This essay aims to persuade readers to embrace the power of purpose by exploring the core concepts presented in Sinek's video. Sinek introduces the concept of the Golden Circle, which consists of three concentric circles: the "What," the "How," and the "Why." While most organizations and individuals focus on the "What" (the products or services they offer) and the "How" (the processes …show more content…

By starting with the "Why," we tap into the limbic system of our brain, the seat of emotions and decision-making. When individuals and organizations communicate their purpose effectively, they resonate with others on a deeper level, creating authentic connections and building loyal relationships. Sinek asserts that people don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. When we communicate our purpose, we inspire others to join our cause, whether it is customers supporting a brand or employees working toward a common goal. Purpose-driven organizations and leaders have the ability to mobilize a tribe of passionate individuals who are willing to go above and beyond, driving innovation, productivity, and success. Sinek highlights the dangers of focusing solely on short-term gains and profit maximization. Purpose-driven individuals and organizations, on the other hand, are guided by a broader vision and a sense of meaning. By aligning actions with purpose, individuals find joy and fulfillment in their work, leading to increased productivity, creativity, and overall well-being. Similarly, purpose-driven organizations build a loyal customer base and enjoy long-term success, even in times of uncertainty and

In Tobias Wolff’s Our Story Begins: New and Selected Stories, lies a gem in the rough called “Soldier’s Joy,” which is a short story about a Vietnam War veteran named Hooper who is adapting to life on the base post-war. Hooper is trying to get his life together little by little, but nothing is going back together the way it should in his mind. This was a problem for a lot of Vietnam War veterans post-war because of all the things they saw firsthand and they had no idea how to handle the things they saw on their own. They had no idea how to handle all of the destruction, chaos, and death they saw, so most of them took to their own ways of coping with everything they saw or even did during the war.

In the short story "On the Rainy River" by Tim O'Brien, a young man named Tim needs to make a difficult decision: whether to go to war or flee to Canada to avoid the draft.

Many factors make it difficult for him to decide, including shame, society's pressure, and his values. Tim’s goal in this short story is to decide based on his values, which can be difficult because one can lose self-respect when others don't agree with their beliefs.

In both “The Night in Question” by Tobias Wolff and “The First Day” by Edward Jones, the authors describe characters whose lives have been transformed by the love of a close family member. However, Wolff suggests that this deep love manifests itself in a brother’s physical protection from an abusive parent, while Jones implies that it reveals itself through educational security ensured for the child by an illiterate mother’s persistence in her daughter’s school enrollment. Wolff establishes these instances of protection from abuse through flashbacks triggered by the retelling of a sermon. Jones approaches the story chronologically to prove the determination of the mother despite rejection. These two stories, both manipulate characterization

My chosen entrepreneur, John Muir, conservationist, author, and founder of the Sierra Club displayed incredible determination, passion, empathy, and integrity (Immigrant Learning Center).

Dat T Critical/Analytical Response Where does one’s purpose lead them when the presence of motivation is absent? Motivation is what brings forth change within individuals to pursue what they desire most, it is what defines their purpose within a society and makes them who they are. William Shakespeare in the play, Hamlet, develops the idea that without the nature of motivations expressed upon an individual, they become blinded of their own self-worth as well as their purpose towards their ambitions, which will therefore influence their future actions. When individuals are presented with ambitions that they must fulfill but not what they themselves personally desire, it binds them of moving forward. Individuals having a purpose leads them into change, often times for the better; however, when someone else’s purpose is enforced upon an individual, it removes their personal intent for their future actions hence demoralizing the individual and leading them to their demise.
