My focal theme has to do with entrepreneurship. Therefore for this week I was looking for a digital story that presents a success story. Among all the options that came up in my research for a topic, I chose to work with “the story of Greg Mortenson, a man who got lost during a climb and found his life’s work by helping the remote areas of Pakistan find education.”Greg is the author of the well acclaimed book Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace … One School at a Time. It is a post- 9/11 book with a strong message to the world: “If we try to resolve terrorism with military might and nothing else, then we will be no safer than we were before 9/11. If we truly want a legacy of peace for our children, we need to understand that this is a war that will ultimately be won with books, not with bombs.” (Greg Mortenson).
The story is very inspiring and offers a powerful role model to everyone yearning to succeed in this life.
The flow, Organization, and Pacing of the story is excellent. The way the storyteller narrates Greg’s adventures, and Greg’s move from failure to success is very captivating. The way Greg’s perseverance allowed him to eventually find success is presented in a very easy way to follow.
The voice of the narrator is very clear and his speech is easy to understand. Even the sound effects with the wind blowing did not drown the voice of the narrator.
As for the research whoever read Greg’s book, can tell that it was well conducted. The information the narrator shared are accurate and the landscape we see in the video looks very much like the way Greg himself described it in the book.
