    1. I think the point of this video is to not look so foolish and being lazy not doing it and complaining and just doit yourself.I think us as children in genral act as if we are immature babies and cant do things for ourself, but we can but act as if we are lazy and we are not capable of writting a simple letter for our school!!! OH MY GOD

  10. 1:i think this video stands for us to not be lazy and just wait for help to come to you.if you were in that situation you should think out side the box!

    2: when something challenges me i would try it and find a way out of that problem i would try to solve it!!!

    nothing can stop me for reaching my goal not even an escalator!!!

  11. At first this video made me laugh! But then I realized, the message you were giving. We often come across obstables in our life that hold us back from being successful. These obstacles can be big or small! Getting stuck on an escalator is clearly a silly situation...you could just walk up the stairs. Unfortunately, there have been many situations that I felt helpless. Sometimes, even your friends don't support you in the way they should. Those two people on the escalator could've worked together to come up with a plan to get off the escalator. Instead, the negativity just hindered both of their capabilities. This is something I can certainly relate to, although, I do try to distance myself from people who bring me down! Even when things are looking pretty grim...there's usually a bright side!

  13. Sometimes people - myself included - perceive challenges as insurmountable obstacles. We perseverate over minute issues, our anxiety mounts, yet we choose to stand still. When I am faced with tough situations, I find that the hardest thing to do is simply make a decision about how to approach a trying situation. Clearly these two people stuck on the escalator could have acknowledged the problem and worked together to seek a resolution instead of passively waiting for someone else to fix everything. Often times, we can't just aimlessly wait for a solution. We need to take initiative, make that first tough choice, and accept that "alternative routes" may still get us to our intended destination.
