What I think about TED "Keep your goals to yourself"

I would like to write about a talk of TED "Keep your goals to yourself" by Derek Sivers.

In my youth, I was the type who practiced my goals after sharing them.  But now, as for my personal goals in life, I don't state them clearly/publicly.  There are a few reasons for this.  First, I'm not sure how to achieve my goals.  I don't think I can come close to achieving my goals by my effort alone.  Secondly, due to quick changes in the surrounding environment, I often have to change my goal subtly.  Additionally, I have no time to share my goal with someone and worry whether or not I can achieve it.  I believe that there is not time to share something with others when someone is earnest and serious about it.

What I think about TED "Try something new for 30 days"

I would like to write about a talk of TED "Try something new for 30 days" by Matt Cutts.

After becoming an adult and graduating from college, most people certainly tend to think of themselves as nothing but a worker.  I belong to a trade company. I'm a manager and salesman in Japan.  I am able to eat food and live a decent life with my family.  I actually kind of enjoy my life.  So one day in the past, I stopped thinking about other possibilities. Actually, I did so many years ago.  Although, right now I can agree with this speech.  Also, I guess that if I really want something badly enough, I could do anything for 30 days.  Additionally, if I continue to make a lot of effort for longer periods of time, I could change myself like a growing teenager.
