Everything in life requires a decision. If you should make a wrong decision something that you may not have wanted will be what you will receive, because of that decision. The videographer’s message was to show that you must make decision. If you would want to follow this road or that road it is your decision. If you want to go alone or with someone that is you decision. Everything you do you need a decision. As you can see whether you do good or bad is you decision. You may choose a rough road at first but by the end it my get smooth. Just remember do not make the wrong decision twice.

Decisions can make a BIG difference in your life. If you make a wrong one...it can mess up everything(I know that for a fact and had to learn it the hard way!!!) But if you make good decisions there can be good outcomes. I personally always try to do whats right but we all make mistakes sometimes. I think the videographer's message is one person can change the world by only doing small things. I believe that is very true, because its just like the thing where when you plant a tree it grows into something big. One kind deed could change the world. One person could also change a life too. If you are shooting towards a dream and people always say stuff like "Keep it up your doing fine" usually that person will succeed in what they are doing because one positive comment really inspired them to keep trying. When someone has a negative attitude and says "You'll never be able to do it, just give up now!!" that person will probably not keep going because they feel as if no one believes in them. So if someone if trying hard at something just atleast say one positive thing so they will keep shooting towards their dream. And if a person says something negative to you, keep trying because all things are possible!!!

Decisions or choices is the major part of who you are. If you make good choices in your life your life will be led positively and most likely you will be an important person in society. If you choose the wrong decisions that you know you shouldn't have you will probably end up in jail, smoking, endangering your life or someone elses, or you just won't be as happy as you should be. I think the videographers purpose is that it only takes one person to change someones life. One person can change a life positively if you don't know which way to go in life they will guide you safely through the right way because they are a true friend. Someone can negatively change your life by making you do drugs or leading to a bad place that does not turn out as well as if you would have chosen the right decision. Remember if you take the wrong path you can always go back and choose the right one.

Leaders make solid decisions and commit to seeing them through. Losers put off decisions and mess around with them once they are made. A key skill in becoming a successful leader is the skill of decision making. It is surprising how many people don't like to make decisions. They do all kinds of things to keep the moment of decision at arms length including: gathering more data, talking to more people, not thinking about the decision, fighting over who the decision might offend, worrying about the resources needed to pull the decision off, hoping the problem will go away on its own. Good leaders develop the skill of making the best decision possible with the best information possible in the timeliest manner. They are quick to decide and quick to take responsibility for their decisions - positive or negative.

Decisions can make a difference in the world by helping one child to read to a deaf person sign language. Making decisions in life makes a great difference on your life in the future. You can become more kind with others. I think the message in this video is that people can make a change or difference in the world weather or not they know it. You can make a positive and a negative change by trying to do something new to you and hating every second of it, but then it ends up being the best thing in the world for you.

People make decisions every day in life. Sometimes we don't make the right decisions thought. If you make good decisions you usually come out with a good result of your decision making. If you don't make the right decision you might things might not turn out how you want them to go. The videographer’s message was to tell you to make decisions. For example: Your best friend wanted you to come over his/her house but you have track meet at the same time they invited you over. You finally decide which one you are going to do after 2 hours. So you went to track meet because if you don't you would be letting your team down. You could be positive and be nice to people if you were mean before, but then in a negative way about that, people could take advantage of you.

What you choose changes your future and could help or hurt you in the end.The videographer's message is you have to make decisions in your life.Like if someone helps someone else by opening the door for them or help them carry something can be a positive thing.If you just walk past someone or are mean to them that can be a negative thing in your life.

I think that anything you do you need to make a decision. No matter if it's something simple or a decision on your life. I think that yes if I make a serious decision in my life it can also affect a lot of other people. What other people do with their lives is important because a lot of what other people, even me, do also can effect what goes on in other people's life.

Decisions can affect your the way your life is led, because if you make a bad decision, your life is affected in a negative way.

The vidiographers purpos eis to show us how our decisions affect the rest of our lives.

Any decision you make can affect you. If you make a bad decsion, your affected negativly, nd if you make a good decsion, your life is affected positivley.

Austin said...

Everyone is given choices in life. We are surrounded by people as we grow that give us the knowledge to know the difference between right and wrong. It is up to us to make the right choices. If you make the wrong choices it will effect you as well as others around you. The videographer's message in "The Power of One" is to illustrate that everyone has the power to make a difference. If someone makes a positive choice it could effect someone positively. For example, If you find a wallet full of money and return it without taking anything out and when you are standing at the counter you overhear the man whom the wallet belongs to say that the money was donated to him for his child's chemotherapy. However, if you chose to take some to reward yourself it would have had negative effects on yourself,the man and his family.

People make decisions everyday in life because evrything you do requires one.If you make a wrong decision something that your parents tell you will happen or your friends tell you will happen will happen becuase when you make decisions you have to think of other people.The purpose of this video was to show you that you have to make good and bad decisions to learn from in life.And that if you think that you are right you have to believe in yourself and help your self because you cant make people make certain decisions but you can help them and make your own decisions.Whether or not you choose to make a good or bad decision you have to except it and make it right.You have the power to help with peoples decisions. Its important to make decisions good and right because if you do so other people will leran and follow its the 1st step to helping out with decsions.Cheyenne Shirkey 7th period

Whatever you do it requires a decision.If you make good decisions than your life will go good, but if you make a bad decision than your life will be bad. The videographers message to this short video is that whatever you do in life will make a difference no matter if it is personal or if it's to help others. If one person gives money to help a child than it might save that child's life. If that person chooses not to help that child than the child might not be able to live for very long. Therefore if you make decisions like that then you need to think about them carefully before you actually do it. Also, if people actually think before they make the decisions they do then it may make a huge impact on others life in a good way, as well as their own.

Decisions are the BIGGEST things in life. People make thousands of decisions in a day. They can be good or they can be bad.

I think the videographer's message was that it only takes one person to change the life of another. It could have also meant that the decision of one person could result in great or horrible things. Think about 9/11,the terrorists attack. It took only that one person's decision to change the world.

One person can change life in a negative way by making that one decision. Like I said before in the previous paragraph. Look back to September 11th.I was in the second grade. Just sitting there when the principal came over the intercom. Just in a quick second the WHOLE world was changed.

But then again, one person's positive decision can result in positive ways, and change the life of that person and others. If you see someone in need, maybe it being your elderly neighbor. You see them struggling with their groceries. If you make that one decision to go over and help, you could change their life.

Decisions can make a big difference in your life, They can decide your life and how it plays out.Making the right choices in life are important because they can decide your future and how far you can take your life.The videographer's message is trying to encourage you to make the right decisions and to live life to the fullest.One person can change life in a positive way by inventing something useful or cleaning up liter on the highway,One person can change life in a negative way by starting a forest fire or even what happened at Virginia Tech.

The Power of One was a very entertaining video. Most of the time I don’t think we really believe that we as one person can make a real difference in school, home, with friends at sporting events. But when I watched this video it made me think that yes, one person can make a difference even if it may be a small one.
The decisions I make now can have an effect on my future. Good decisions will help me become a better person; bad decisions will lead me to become someone no one will like to be around. If I choose to be nice to others, helpful, respectful, strong enough to say no to wrong things I think this will show others it is the right way. Hopefully, then others will follow the right way. When this happens the good will out number the bad and a strong difference will be made in any situation. The good should over power the bad.
The message in this video is, one person can make a difference. Just like the picture of the candle. One candle changes the darkness, other candles lit make it brighter, so if one person does good and another and another follow, a positive change takes place. If we know we are doing right, we cannot give up because someone else makes fun of us. We still have to do what we believe is right and hope that gives others the courage to do right too.
How one person can change a life in a positive or negative way? The first thing I think of is our group of friends at school. An example would be: if I would go up to a person, who is “not in my group”, of friends, and give them a compliment or help them in some way hopefully by my friends seeing this they would think “hey, this kid must be ok for Grant to do that.” Then I would like to believe they would also be nice to that person or another outside of “our group”. If I am nasty or make fun of a person at school “outside of my group” then my friends will probably think it is ok to do the same. Not thinking how that person’s feelings would be hurt. This would be a wrong example to show. I try to treat others as I would want to be treated. Hopefully this will make a positive difference from me, one person.

Decisions can be good or bad. Each day before school starts my mom always tells my brother and I to "make good choices" in addition to having a great day and that she loves us. My brother and I have been taught what are good and bad and that when a situation presents itself; hopefully, we will make the best choices possible. I do make "bad" decisions once in a while, but hey, I'm still a kid! Making good choices helps me keep a clear conscience. Making bad choices give me headaches and stomach aches. My mom always tells me that making good decisions helps me become a stronger more mature kid.
I think that the video is sending the message that in life we all have to make the best possible decisions in our everyday life. When we make the wrong ones, we still have to deal with them and correct the decisions. In the past couple of weeks, there have been many threats against our schools in this county. I feel that these kids who have been doing this damage have made some serious "bad" decisions. Hopefully, they can get the right help and guidance that they need to get them on the "right" path and to make "good" decisions. The video is also sending the message that we shouldn't be so wrapped up in ourselves. We should be prepared to give something back to our schools, communities, town, and our world. By being more responsible and encouraging the efforts of everyone, we not only feel better but we are helping to create a better world for ourselves.

Our decisions can make a difference because they affect your life. Making a decision not to go to school is very bad because if you do not go to school then you will have to get a job at McDonald's. The videographer's message is that one person can make a difference in the world. One person can ruin everything by just simply not caring about the world; they can also change life in the world by caring, and doing something about today's challenges in the world.

Everthing that you do in life you have to make a decision. Sometimes it hard to make that decision.I think that the videographers purpose of making a this video is to show you have to make a decision. And you may make the wrong decisions too.You can just follow your friends or take the easy way or you could take the hard way and let it pay off later. I personaly think most people take the easy way out. But i always tre to mak ethe write decision!!...

I think this video is trying to get across that decisions are part of everyone's life. You make decisions everyday, and hardly anyone ever makes the same decisions. The decisions you make everyday are one's like the clothes you pick out to wear, what you eat, and what books you read.

Your decisions can make a difference in the way that your life is led by if say you are on the interstate and you take a left to Texas or a right to South Carolina, You could have gotten a really good paying job in South Carolina or you could be a waitress at a resturant. THe videographer's message is it can take one thing or one person to change a life as simple as walking across the street or drive your car to a job and have "A LIFE CHANGING EXPEIRENCE!" happen to you just by a job that you decided to do for a whole lot of reasons that probably didn't have anything to do with what you saw. One person can change a life in a positive way by what they say about a job or a decision that a person made just because or for a reason that ment something to them. A person can change a person's life in a negative way by getting into a fight with someone and living a nasty scar that may effect if they get a job at really good paying job or not, or if they can get a date with someone they really like or not. All because of One Decision that maybe one person or more made just because or for a reason.

Unknown said...

I believe that a single, unimportant decision, can make your life a dream come true or it can destroy everything you have worked hard for. For example: if you are an average grade student and you have to study for a quiz that could bring your average in a class to an A while you are in the 12th grade and you pass it, you could get accepted to a great college, get a good paying job, and live out the rest of your days being a rich doctor with all your bills paid off; or you could be a super smart kid and have an A average in the class you are about to take a quiz in and you fail it for not studying and your average drops to a C, you might not get accepted to a college, you would probally have to work until you are 30 to get to go to a college for a low 2 years, you might still be living with your parents and have 3 kids, getting money from welfare, trying to stop smoking, and you could wind up dead at the age of 50 for being in a car accident for drinking while driving. It is all about the choices you make NOW, so do not mess it up. Also everybody, START STUDYING.

You can change the whole world by just doing one positive act. You choose the what you do and what you decide to act upon. One bad action can change your life. If you decide to hang around the wrong group of people, you may not be like them, but that is what others see you as. That one negative chose to be a part of the wrong crown can suddenly change your life or lifestyle. If you decide to go down the positive path, you can better your life as well as others. That videographer’s message is to try to get the point across that one act can change your future, You have to chose by yourself.

My decision can make a difference in my life because I can choose to be responsible. If I choose to be responsible then the world will be a better place my family will have a good life. I can choose to help people and children who are in need. I can help animals, the earth , and other causes. The videographer’s message is that you can be a better person if you do things to make the world a better place. One person's life can change in a positive way because of their actions that . I think that you should be helpful when someone needs it like your grandparents, or the soup opera.

I thought this video was very inspirational. I think the videographer’s purpose in making this video is to say that your life doesn’t have to be anymore or any less than what you want it to be. And that you can make a difference just by being nice to someone. If you make bad decisions all the time your life probably isn’t going to be that great. In vision your life before you and picture what you want it to be. You can make that happen if you try hard enough. You make your decisions not anyone else. You can make your life great!

The decisions we make in our lives are very important. They will decide your present as well as your future, and no one ever forgets your past. It can make a difference between good or bad. You have to make good choices in life. These choices can effect the rest of your life.

The videographer's message to us is - to take a little time to be kind to someone who needs a little cheering up, or even help someone in a small way. This will mean a lot to the other person who needs your help. It may be as little as a hello or even helping someone with a bag of groceries, or holding a door open for someone.

If you help people, and others see you doing this, it will encourage them to be kind also, which is very positive. If you turn your back on someone who needs you, others might think why should I help someone if you didn't help them, and be the example. That can change life in a negative way. I would want someone to help me if I needed them, or say a few friendly words if I were down. So take a little time to help!

Life is a complicated thing, but we all half to do with it in our own ways. All of us always have one thing in common, we half to make decisions. There are many paths you can take, and each road leads you somewhere else. These decisions could be an ultimatum, or you could have many choices. Sometimes one is bad and the other good, but if you’re lucky something good comes out of each choice. This videographer is saying that there comes a time in our life when we can do a nice thing for somebody. Our decision is if we want to be nice and help, or if we turn our head and walk away. We can make a difference. If one person does a random act then somebody else will want to do the same, and it will grow and grow. If you do decide to help out the people in need then you can dramatically change their life. You would have made the right choice, and it feels good inside when you extend a hand to the needy. If you just walk away and ignore these problems these people have then that is just cold hearted, and the needy person will always think of how you didn’t help them. You don't want something like that on your mind at all. In short, this video is saying that one person can do something nice, one person can change somebody's life, one person can make a difference, and maybe one person could change the world.

My decisions can make a difference in the way life is led because, people have to make their own decisions. You have to make the right decisions on some things and you can also make the wrong decision on some things too.

The videographer's message is to get people to understand that ONE person can make a difference in the world.

People can make a difference when they make the right or wrong decision. If you make the wrong decision , you are making a negitive change/difference. I ahve to thhimnk about what decisions I am going to make before I make them. Everyone make a choice of something everyday. They may not know.... but they do.

Your decisions could make a difference in the world by showing a new way to do something or as a new thing to do. The videographers message in this video was to show that even one little thing you do can make a huge difference in the world. Also I think that he meant by this was to show that something random as well can show the world something new about you. A person can change life in a positive way by creating something to help people or to help our environment, however in the exact same way it could hurt someone or hurt our environment.

Decisioons are what make this world, there part of our every day life. If we didnt have any decisions there would be no life. It takes only one person to change the world forever. New inventions is a good exaple for a positive way, but it could back fire and kill many people.

Everyones decision makes a difference bacause if a few people decide to take different cars on a road trip instead of carpulling then that contributes to global warming. So my decisions make a difference as well as everyone else.
The videographers message is to show you that you as a person can make a difference in everyone elses lives.
Recycling is great because you are reusing materials so we save on making new ones and that is a positive effect on peoples lives ,it also reduces pollution!

My decisions in life can make a big difference for my future. It can help me by having more faith in God, by getting all back that I have gave, and by making new friends that I have helped. I think that the videographer's purpose of this video is that you can always help others in some way. One person can definitely change life for everyone around the would. Like Operah Winfrey, she has helped so many kids around the would with hunger, medical problems, and money. And they can also make changes to the world that are not good. Like us going to war with some other country for some small reason.

I really liked the video. I also liked the pictures and music. And I think that the video also states a powerful point. One person can make a difference. Weather it be anything from fighting global worming to something as simple as planting a tree anything helps. And beleive me its not to hard to plant a tree if you can find the time, I would know. I planted 500 little trees in my backyard. But you don,t have to help at all. Its your decision, help our world or not care and do nothing at all. And there are many ways to help you could even do something as simple as telling people about the problems in our world today. But if we don,t do anything we will have one heck of a mess on our hands.

My decisions make a difference in the way my life is led because with every decision I make there is an outcome. The outcome could effect and change my life, good or bad. The videographer's message is to do well in the world with "one random act of kindness." A single person can change life in both positive and negative ways. Let's say that someone helps an upset guy fix his car. This could put the guy in a good mood. He could then spread his good mood to other in a chain reaction. Let's now say that a different person had seen the guy with car troubles. This person picks on the guy about his old rusty car. The guy with the car is really upset. Things haven't been going well for him as is. Then, this causes him to decide to do something he will later regret. He robs a store, gets caught, and goes to jail. This makes his children go to a foster home, live a rough life, and get in trouble as adults. This could have been prevented with an act of kindness instead of an act of cruelty. This is just one example of cause and effect of how one person can change life. So basically, making good decisions and thinking about how those decisions affect others will help make the world a good place for everyone!

My life and everything I do is made by a decision. I'v made bad but I have to live with it.But I'v
also made some greatones.I think the videographer's message was everything in life is made up by a decision. Like planting a flower,you have to decide where your gonna plant it.
But if you decide to plant it where it won'tget enough sunlight it will come out totally wronge.

One person can change their life positively by doing good things like helping someone. They can make negative ones by doing bad things like not doing their school work. And that will effect you later on down the road. So always remember to make good decisions.

Everyone has to make a lot of decisions sometime in life. It’s up to us how we make our decision and whether we, and everyone else, like it or not. Our decision has a big effect in our lives. We decide if we want to do this or that or want this or that and much, much, much more. Our decisions make a difference in the way our life is led by being the person everyone follows or the follower or even a person with their own thought. Our decision can tell us to do something great or do something …not so great. It’s our decision that can cause conflict and resolution. We all have different brains so we have different decisions but some people don’t like the decisions we make. SO WHAT if they don’t like that decision, you never know someone out there will. Your decision can lead you to a life with a poor house and no job but if you like the decision you made and you’re happy with what you have it shouldn’t matter.
I think the videographer’s message was that we make decisions and those decisions determine whether or not you do something good, like plant a tree, or bad. Your decisions decide if you will rise or fall. Your decisions also decide if you’re happy or sad. The decisions you make sometimes have an effect on your actions, too. They also make an effect on the world as well by helping the environment or destroying it and electing a president that could do good or bad for the country.
A person can change life in positive ways by doing something to help the environment. You can decide to plant trees that will grow big and last a long time. Doing this, you could inspire others to do this as well. Another thing is a person could decide to raise money to give to the………animal shelter; the money would be used to help the animals so they won’t die from starvation or something like that.
A person can change life in negative ways by destroying the environment. You could help destroy the environment and not even know it. You can change that by making the decision to do something about it. A negative decision like taking over a country and forcing them to do as you what ever you want may make you happy but just look at the others. Everyone would be sad and angry with you and eventually make a decision to take the country back. Another is calling something like a bomb threat. Sure it fun to skip class but you end up with more work the next day and you make people worry about it and mad that you did it. When we make decisions we half the time we don’t think about the consequence, we need to start!

People make decisions all the time in life. Sometimes, though we make a wrong decisions and end up regretting them. When you make a good decision you usually end up feeling good inside. If you make a bad decision you usually end up feeling bad about how you could of done the right thing , but instead chose the wrong path. So you tell me what is the better choice.

I think the videographer’s message is to tell you to make good decisions and not to make bad ones. One person can change a life by a both negative and positive way by encouragement. Such as someone who is treated positively and given good advice will probably want to show the person that they can do a good job because of them. As where a person who negatively encouraged and is told that they will never amount to anything will probably want to prove to that person that they can and will amount to something. So if you find yourself being put down try hard to accomplish your dream.

Decisions decide what you will do with your life. If we never made a decision, we'd all wear the same thing, play the same sports, and work at the same place. We would never have to decide anything or think about doing it. I decide what I want to do in my life. You also decide whether you want to be a good person, or a bad person.

The videographer's message was to show that everyone has a decision to make about what kind of person they will be. They have to decide whether they will do something with their life, or sit at home and do nothing.

One person makes a difference. No one wants to have a bad life. If you are negative to yourself, you will have a negative life. We need to understand that to be somebody someday, we need to start making a difference now. Learn from your mistakes as well as others, because you won't make all of the mistakes yourself.

If you make a bad decision your life will affect the outcome might make your life go down hill.If you make a good decision it might help you with life.The author's message is in lfe there will always be decisions.Some decisions you might not want to make,but you might have to.A bad decision would be going to a party where you know there will be acohol and you drink.This will get you in trouble with your parrents maybe even the the law.A goood decision would be to stay home and not go to the party.You could also go to a friend's house were you know there won't be acohol and just hang out.This would be a good choice to make because then you wouldn't get in trouble.I hope you would make this choice.Well thats all!

I personally always try to do whats right but we all make mistakes sometimes. I think the videographer's message is one person can change the world by only doing small things. I believe that is very true, because its just like the thing where when you plant a tree it grows thats just like if you do a small thing it can come out to be a big change. One person could also change a life too. If you are shooting towards a dream and people always say stuff like "Keep it up your doing fine" usually that person will succeed in what they are doing because one positive comment really inspired them to keep trying. And if some one gives you a negative coment and says "You'll never be able to do it, just inore them and keep trying and you'll be successful!!" So if someone if trying hard at something just atleast say one positive thing so they will keep shooting towards their dream.Because all things are possible!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything in your life that you do today can reflect to your future. I mean like every good grade you get in Highschool can help you get into a good collage. The videographer's message one person can make a difference. Just like the picture of the candle. Its important to make decisions good and right because if you do so other people will learn and follow it. As you can see whether you do good or bad is your decision how well you do. If you help people, and others see you doing this, it will encourage them to be kind also. So depend on yourself to get the good grades know one else can get the good grades for you.

A lot of decisions in life are very major and can have a huge impact on your lifestyle. You have to really think about these kind of decisions to make sure you choose right. With one decision, you could end up living on the streets or making $100,000 a year. This videographer's message is that anyone can do anything with the right decisions. One person can change life negatively, such as bombing a place, threatening people, etc. But I think there are a lot more positive things a person can do than negative things. You could plant a tree, clean up your community, or even help someone with their homework. The power to change the world for better or for worse is in everyone.

The power of one!

Decisions or choices is the major part of who you are. If you make good choices in your life your life will be led positively and most likely you will be an important person in society. If you choose the wrong decisions that you know you shouldn't have you will probably end up in jail, smoking, endangering your life or someone elses, or you just won't be as happy as you should be. I think the videographers purpose is that it only takes one person to change someones life. One person can change a life positively if you don't know which way to go in life they will guide you safely through the right way because they are a true friend. Someone can negatively change your life by making you do drugs or leading to a bad place that does not turn out as well as if you would have chosen the right decision. Remember if you take the wrong path you can always go back and choose the right one.♥

In life everything has to have a decision. If you make the wrong one then you will have consequences or it will turn out how you wanted. The videographer's message is that everybody has a way to live their own life. It also says that there are lots of different directions that you can take. You should always follow your heart by what you feel and make what you feel is the right decision. One person could change a life by helping someone or giving advice. Someone could also event something that would help people with a certain disease or problem.

If you make a wrong decision, things maybe bad and lead to things, you do not want to experience (personal experiences). The videographer’s message is talking about how you have to make many decisions in your life and there are many ways to go about it. A person can change your life for the better or worse. For example, you may get a boyfriend/girl friend have the best time with them enjoy there company all the time, but things do not all have fairy tail endings. Things could also good for the not-so-great-end of something. You may not like your friend and they could be annoying and get you into trouble. Things have to ways they can go so you have to make the right decision, but if you make the wrong one you could learn from your mistakes.

The kind of decisions we make can make a major difference in our lives for better or worse. You can make one horribly wrong decision that could change your life forever, or you can make positive decisions for yourself or help others that can make a big difference to their lives. Decisions that we make, such as drinking,smoking or doing drugs can make an impact on our health and future. One bad decision can ruin you life and your dreams.
I think the videographer's message was very positive. With the images of a baby's hand in an adults, the world being held in the hands, and the hands holding the elderly persons says that the earth's future is literally in our hands. We can make it better by helping everyone, even if it's just the little things. If every person in the world did one positive thing, it would make the world a better place to live. If someone is having a hard time or a very bad day, we can do something to help them, and maybe they would do something to help another person, and it would go on and on.
I really like the commercial that is on television about the lady that keeps the pizza guy from getting hit by a bus and someone sees that, and they do something to help someone else and the cycle goes on and on.

Decisions play a very big role in your life. Negative decisions make you pretty much a bum, but positive decisions can make your life the best it can be. Positive decisions matter. I don't care if your the president or a cashier at Wal-Mart. Your decisions still help to make the world a better place. That's the way to go.I like using a glass of water as an example of decisions. The more positive decisions you make, the more the glass overflows. The more negative decisions you make, the more empty the glass gets. Sooner or later you will be dieing of thirst if you keep making those bad decisions.

The videographer's message is that making good decisions help the world. Life is not as long as we think it is. Helping to make a difference is good because maybe you can persuade someone else to help. Be a follower, or be a leader. Be the light and let other people follow you.That makes you the leader. Be a follower by doing a good deed with alot of people. It doesn't matter if your a leader or a follower. Just let your glass of water overflow. Make positive decisions.

Your life can change drastically by making decisions. Decisions can really make a difference. Your life can go in the negative direction by simply trying a cigarette. Maybe you would like to try some crack or weed. That can change your life. That is only one thing that can make life change. You can also change your life by moving in a positive direction. It takes alot of hard work though. It takes alot more work than just trying a drug. There isn't a pill or drug to help make people make a difference. Lets look at it this way. Would you rather be the bum on the side of the street doing crack? He's wishing he had that really cool mustang right in front of him that is waiting for the stop light to turn green. Would you rather be the guy in the mustang that is telling himself that he is really glad he busted his butt? He is glad he made a difference in the world because he never wanted to end up like that bum leaning against that rusty building. Think about that.

Decisions are a very important part of life. The decisions we make effect our future in so many ways. Good decisions can keep you safe, and head you in the right direction. The wrong decisions are bad, but also help people make the right decisions. When someone makes a bad decision they learn a lesson, and from then on know not to it again.

Decisions can also be made to help protect our earth. By choosing to do something nice for someone else, you are making a good decision. By not littering you can contribute to the safety of the planet.

The massage the producer of this video is trying to get across is a major point. They are telling people to make the right decisions in life, so that you can lead a better life for yourself and others.

Decisions determine nearly every aspect of your life, such as where you go in life and how you do it. Everyone has made bad decisions before, but they have also made good ones. Some of the choices we make not only change our life but the life of the people around us as well. However, the choice between the good and bad decision can be very hard to make. Seeing as though decisions occur so often you are bound to make a few bad choices. Bad decisions can affect your life catastrophically; trust me I know, but even if you make a bad decision you have to move on and continue to better yourself or else you will never succeed in life.

The decisions you make in your life have so many effects they can't even be counted. I mean, all life is is making decisions. If you didn't make decisions you would just sit there like a bump on a log. Although you need to be careful about your decisions. If you make the wrong one, your life could turn out badly. For example, if you choose to smoke you can get all these nasty diseases and crappy stuff like that. The videographer's purpose in this film is to show how good decisions can change lives and to make you think about those decisions. One person can change lives very easily. For example, a firefighter could save someone from a fire. He would have really changed that person's life because without him, that person wouldn't have one. You can also change others lives in a bad way too. Maybe you pressure someone into doing something they really don't want to. you and that person could end up in a lot of trouble. It would just be better to make the right decisions and get on with your life.

Life requires decisions everyday and the choices we make all have consequences. People need to take more time to think things through before making a decision. I believe that a lot of people who are unhappy today are because of bad decisions they've made. A decision always has an affect on your life whether its a good choice or bad.

The videographer's message was to show people not to be self-centered! People need to stop being all about themselves and help others in need. The videographer had a great point, but the hard part is to actually get people to do it.

I've learned from my mistakes and I want to help others from making the same mistakes I did. My motto is "never make the same mistakes twice."

You make decisions in your life every day. Perhaps if you make the wrong decision then something bad might happen to you. Also when we make our bad decisions we effect the people around us. So always try to make the right and best choice because it will help everybody’s life. The videographer’s point is saying that everybody decisions will effect everybody’s life. If you find something with someone’s name on it then don’t steal it and return it with no damage. Then you will be a good person and that person will be happy.

Making decisions is a very important thing in your life. Everyone makes decisions everyday of their life. Little or Big, it doesnt matter as long as you choose the right one.

If one person acts or speaks up then it can change the whole world by just that little thing someone has done. It can also end up with a negative result as well so make sure you think over the consiquences before you act and try to make an important decision.

People make decisions every day of there life. Think about it. Everything you do requires a decision. Every decision that you make in your life matters. Whether it is going to school or skipping to go to Kenney Wood. On a smaller scale, it could simply be deciding what you are going to eat for breakfast. I think that the videographer created this video to let us know that every decision can make a difference in the world. One act of kindness can change a person's life. I think that he wanted us to keep that in mind the next time we saw someone in need. Decisions are as simple as this: A good decision will bring goodness to your life and a bad decision will bring pain to your life. But always remember," EVERY DECISION COUNTS"!!!

All the decisions you make in life are very important whether you notice it or not. If the decisions you make are positive they will probably influence your life in a good way, and might help your future decisions to be good. The videographers message for this video was that you can make your life whatever you want it to be. That last sentence reminds me of the points Johnny gave to Pony Boy in the Outsiders book we just read, how Johnny said that Pony can make his life anything he wants it to be. People say that once you hang around a person for a long time you can start to act like them. That person can put a negative or positive influence on you just depending on what they are like, and the things that they do.

The decisions you make in your life can make a huge difference in the life you lead . If you make good choices you will end up in a good place with a good job in a nice house. If you make bad choices you will probably end up without an education in an apartment building or maybe in jail if your decisions are really bad. The videographer‘s purpose was to show you that all the decisions you make will have some effect in your life. One person can change your life positively by just little things like helping someone out or teaching them something they don’t understand. They could change your life negatively by getting you to smoke or being mean to someone. Which ever decisions you make could also effect someone positively or negatively.

Decisions are a very important part of life. Every decision you make can have an effect on your life. Good decisions could help you accomplish your goals and be successful. If you make wrong decisions, it could take a negative effect on your life. Most people learn from bad decisions and know not to do it again.

The videographer's message is a very important one. It is telling people to try and make a good decision, or the right one. If you make the right decision it will lead you farther on in life.

One person can change their life in a positive way by making the right decisions. For example, if Bob was in college, and he had this humongous exam the next day, and he wanted to study for it so he could get a good grade, but he buddies want to go out and party. Bob has to decide on want is the right choice. If he chooses to study for the huge exam the next day, it would help his succeed farther in life. Also, one person could have a negative effect if they make a wrong decision. For example, if Bobs friend was in the same class as him, and knew he had a test, but went out and partied instead of studying, that could have a huge effect on the rest of his college career.

Decisions are very important in life. Anything you do you will probably have to make a decision. When you make a decision it affects everything. If you make the wrong decision then you have to deal with it. The video graphers message is that everyone can make a change. Even the smallest of decisions affect things around you. One way you can change life in a positive way is to plant a tree. One way you can change life in a negative way is to litter. If you make a decision that hurts anything or anyone, it's a bad decision.

My decision could save someone’s life or help someone get back on track to having a successful life. I think the videographer’s message was that If you want to make a difference than do it even if people laugh at because you know that you did the right thing. One way a person could make a difference in a positive way is they could donate blood to Red Cross or Central Blood bank so if someone gets a very serious injury you could help them a lot. A negative way you could change someone’s life is by disobeying their instruction. Your could change their life just by doing this because you could cause them so much stress they might go shoot someone because they have so much stress.

My decisions can make a change in the way my life is led by determining weather I am an important person in society or well respected. If I choose to make poor decisions in my life then my life will probably not be very successful. If I choose to make good decisions in my life then my life in society will probably much better. I feel the videographers message in this clip is to show exactly what the title says "The Power of One." This means that you have the power to decide how to lead your life in which ever direction you choose. You can choose the good path and be a successful person in life or you can choose to take the bad path and be very unsuccessful in your life. One person can change a life by as the movie said to plant a seed. This means that the impact that you have on a person can change their life forever. If you choose to lead them in a positive direction then they will more than likely, eventually follow the path that you have led them to. Although the decision is completely up to them the more positive influence the more likely it is for them to follow this. The same thing works if you have a negative influence on the person the more negative influences the more likely they can become a negative person and go down the wrong path. Everything you do in life is your own decision and everything you do is your own actions not anyone else's.

The decisions you make in life affect everything you do. If you make the wrong decision in life, there will be a bad outcome. People might look up to you, and they might copy what you're doing. The young celeberties are a perfect example. ( Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, etc ) If we make the right choices, our outcome will be better. Then the people who look up to you will follow, and maybe they have people that look up them. The world might be a better place.


The videographers message is to make the right, or the best decisions. The smarter you think, the further you will go in life.


Just one person can change your life. Lets say that someone offers you a drug, and you take it. You get hooked on the drug and cant keep up in school. Then, you dont go to college or get married and end up sleeping on your moms couch.That would be a horrible life to live. Lets say a person offers you drugs, and you say no. You stay in school, and do really well. You go to a great college, and get married. That sounds like a much better life.



I know we all make mistakes, I know I have and know i'll make more. But I know I should allways do the right thing.

The videographer tried to show us that we control our own future and the smallest decisions can make a huge difference. I think he or she got the point across that our choices affect in small or big ways.
A person can change your life in positive ways by not letting you get hurt by a mistake or would teach you right from wrong. A negative way a single person could change your life could be from allowing them to pressure you into a bad situation.

The videographer's message was that one person could make a difference. He said that by doing little things you still are making differences. The difference you make does not have to be giant you could laugh when no one else is laughing or help someone in need when no one else will help them. He implied that you could change someones life. You could give them a chance when no one else does or by laughing at someone when theirs no need for it.

If you are a bad examples your friends will be worse. If your friends are good examples on other people more people will do good.

I think that my decisions make a difference in the way my life is led because what I choose to do in my life will not only affect me, but my family and friends. If I make bad decisions, they usually find some way to haunt me in the future. When I make good decisions, I am congratulated and confident about what I did and try my best to do more positive things in the future. I think that the videographers message is that life is based on the decisions we make. If you make a bad decision, it could influence or ruin the rest of your life. But if I make a good decision, it helps me learn what I am doing right in life. I think that a person can change life in a positive way by just being nice and friendly to everyone. Being nice to people and making them feel special may influence them to act kind towards others. Everyone can change the world in some way; it doesn’t matter if it’s small or a big change, as long as they try. A person can change life in a negative way by just being mean and hateful towards someone. They could make a person mad and then that person would be upset and be mean to someone else.

The decisions I make in my life can definitely make a difference in the way my life is led because if I make a wrong decision there is consequences behind that decision.

I think the videographer's purpose in creating this video is too show that every decision you make counts. Whether we realize it or not but every single day we make so many decisions that can either make our lives, or break them.

One person could change life in so many different ways! You can just say something positive to someone and make a difference in that person’s life.

Decisions are the huge things in life. People make tons of decisions in a day. They might not be life changing, but none the less they are decisions. They can be good or bad.

I think the videographer's purpose was to show only takes one person to change the course of life for another. It could have also meant that one simple decision of one person could result in great or terrible things.


One person can change life in a negative way by making that one decision and it crazy to think out of the trillions of people on the earth, one can cause such a negative thing where the whole world is affected.

But also, one person's good decision can bring positive things along, and change the life of that person and others. If you see someone in need, just take ten minutes out of your day to affect one person, and it becomes a domino affect because then they will want to help someone else. If you make that one decision to go over and help, you could change their life, and many others.

This video tells you that the smallest decisions in life can make a large impact on others and the world. People will remember and can be changed by your actions. Being friendly, kind and compassionate to others always pays off in the long run.

The videographer's message is to make the right decisions and a positive impact on the world. One wrong decision or a bad choice can have major consequences. Wrong decisions can affect you life in huge ways.
People in our world today don’t realize that small things make the biggest impacts.

One person can change the world. I don’t mean by developing the cure for cancer (but that would be nice). But even things that don’t seem as important as a cancer cure can have a huge impact, like being a good friend, helping someone in need or even recycling. If we help make the world around us a nicer place to live, that would make all of our lives a better. Two of my favorite quotes kind of sum up the video. The first is from Mother Theresa which says “God does not ask us to do great things, but to do small things with great love.” And Gandhi said, “The difference between what we do, and what we are capable of doing, would suffice to solve most of the world's problems”

My decisions make a difference in my life. If I make a wrong decision I could get myself into a lot of trouble. If I decide to smoke someday, later in my life I could get lung cancer. Every decision that we make leads us in a certain direction. The videographer message is that every decision, even the smallest decision, that we make can a difference in someone life. The videographer showed someone holding someone's hand who looked old. Maybe you would be the only person who showed someone sick or lonely a little kindness. A person can have positive or negative effect on someone. A person might value your opinion and if you say or do something positive it could affect them the rest of their life and the same for negative.

Decisions make a difference in the way your life is led and it also will effect those around you. The decision you make now you might later regret. It is important that you think about your decisions before you make them. The videographer's message in the "Power of One" was to illustrate the importance of one person's decisions and the impact they have on others. If someone makes a bad decision it has the potential to hurt a lot of people for example if George Bush decides he is going to take a week off;this could put the country under a lot of stress and a lot of people would not be to happy with him. However, if he decides to drop gas prices a lot of people would be very happy with him. This is just a few examples of how decisions can effect our lives.

There are many decisions that I make every day. I have learned that the decisions that I make result in good or bad things that happen to me. There are consequences with everything that happens in life. I have realized that if I do good things in my life, than it will result in great things happening to me. If I choose to do bad things, than life isn’t fun anymore because I will have another consequence that isn’t nice. I guess that consequences are a part of everyone’s life.

The videographer’s message is to point you in the right direction. They want us to think about life, and how everything we do affects other people and our families. The videographer shows really cool pictures. There is one picture of Niagara Falls. I went there for vacation a few years ago. It is an awesome place. I think that they wanted to show amazing locations. They also show a peace sign. I think this is there so we can think about peace around the world and with the people that we meet. We all make decisions to be peaceful, or if we want to start trouble with others. It’s good when people get along with one another.

I know that people can change life in positive and negative ways. Many people can change the lives of others just by doing random acts of kindness. We should all help people more often. Sometimes I should do things for other s for example, helping out people in need. Like the video said, we all “Hold the power.” We make choices about our actions. Hopefully we will all make the right decisions.

Your decisions have a very important role in how your life is led and your happiness.
Bad decisions can lead you down a path in life that is not good and probably have regrets. Good choices will make your life a lot better.

Your friends and the people you hang around with have a big influence on you. If the friends you have are making good choices this is good.

what the videographer is trying to say is that one person can make a difference, by making good choices

Helping people is a decision. I like helping people and I would hope that if someone sees me helping it would make them want help also.

The good you do rubs off on people more than you think.

The decisions made in your life are so important. In fact, more important than we realize. One mess up, and you could ruin your whole life. Basically EVERYTHING you do requires a decision. You may not realize how many decisions you make in one day, but its definitley a lot.


The videographer's message to us is to no matter what, always make very wise decisions, because it could really change your life without you noticing!=]


Deciding whether or not to treat others right depends on you personally. You should ALWAYS have a positive attitude about things, good or bad because others are watching what you do, how you do it, what you say and how you say it. My dad always tells me that my attitude determines my altitude, so I take that into consideration before I decide to get an attitude with someone.


In conclusion, decisions are very important because they will determine how far you go in life.

The decisions people make can change they're life in a good way or bad way, for example, you can decide whether you want to go to Hollywood, and try out for a movie, or buy everything you want, and go bankrupt. The videographer's message is, well, I think it's to tell you that you can make a difference, like help people cheer up if a family member if someone in they're life died, or buy food for the needy. Like I said, you can make good and bad decisions, and sometimes good decisions can someday haunt you.

This video is telling us that every decision you make is important. Even if the decision is a small one it will make a difference in some way. It's also telling us that everything in life takes a decision. If you wouldn't want to do something that you don't need to, you can DECIDE not to. But sometimes decisions aren't that simple.

I think it asking will you do something with your life or waste it.Will you do something that could change the world.The road that if you'll do it alone or with someone thats up to you to deside what will you do.Everything need to have a decision in life it may be hard to deside but you have to.If you just set around doing nothing you desided to fail in life and you need to get up and do something use go to school you can be what you want to be just try.

Each decision, each place that we go leaves an impression. It is these impressions that help us decide what we are going to do later on in life. Each day we make decisions. Will our decisions help or hurt? We and the envirionment have to deal with or bask in our choices. Which one will it be? One person can plant a tree and help the environment or create a foundation to help the earth. Another person can put just as much effort into destroying the environment.

Everything you do in your life starts with a decision. Wrong decisions lead to bad things. If you make a bad decision something bad is going to come out of it. I think the message the videographer was trying to say is: everyone is important and everyone has a role in the community. Even if you think I am just one in a million and I don't mean anything to the community, you are still very important. For example: when I moved here, if I hadn't met the people I had, I wouldn't have some of the friends I have today. Little decisions go a long way. A person can change life in many ways. A positive way is a friend. A negative way is a bully. When I moved to West Virginia, I met a girl and she proved to be a bully. She affected my life in a negative way. When I moved to Fairmont, I met a girl who proved to be a very good friend, and she is still my friend today. She affected my life in a positive way.

My decisions can make a difference in the way my life is led in a few ways. For instance, if I don’t help someone when they need some help they might not help me when I need some help. I think the videographer’s message is even the smallest bit of kindness can make a huge difference in the way we live. An example of changing the world in a positive way is donating money to an organization that helps people or animals. An example of a negative way to change life in cutting down trees, because animals loose their homes and we loose oxygen.

I really liked this video. Every little decision can make a difference in the way your life is led. If you decide to not wear your helmet when you ride your bike, you could crash and actually have brain damage. I think the videographer's message is that even the smallest act of kindness can change a person’s life and you can lead the way to a better world. We have to be careful because we can make positive changes but it is just as easy for us to make negative changes. The thing that we do without any thought that causes a negative effect is littering.

My decisions can make a difference in how my life is led because if I chose to do something good or bad there is always a consequence to it that may change my life forever, and I think that is what the videographer was trying to tell us. One person can change a life in positive as well as negative such as if you eat candy for a month your teeth will rot but if you eat vegetables for a month you will have healthy teeth and a healthy body.

I think every decision in life affects how you live your life. One bad decision in life can turn even some of your best friends against you. I think the point of the videographer is that you need to be able to live your life with out someone to make the decisions for you. You need to learn the difference of rights and wrongs by yourself so you know not to do that again. One person can put a good influence on you by hanging out with them. If they always help animals or people on the weekends. It would be good for you to help them and maybe you would get in a habit of doing that. If you want to hang out with someone who vandalizes school property and you help them a couple times you might get addicted to it.

We all have to make decisions in our lives. Sometimes we make bad ones and sometimes we really don't know what to do. the videographers message was to show that we all have to make decisions in life. Sometimes it will break a friendchip up or cause somethin bad to happen. No matter what you should always make the right decision. Do what you think is best, don't do what your friends do. Everything requires a decision in life.

Our desicions we make can make a huge difference in our lives by choosing what we want to do or what we dont want to do, or the people we hang out with and the people we don't hang out with. It all makes a difference. That we all make a difference everone has an important job in this earth and we all nedd to do it. A person can change their life in positive ways by, doing well in school, hanging out with good people and learning to say no to things that aent good for us. A person can also change their life in negative ways by, doing drugs, not participating in school , and just getting in trouble and being bad.

i would say no to smoking and drugs because thats not what i need to do it's not good for my body and it could maybe hurt me in some way and thats not at all how my life is led, also help people when they have problems or something like that. what the videographer is trying to say is that its not good to not be helpful to the world you should help anyone in there time of need. also say no to any drug that someone would give to you... one person can make a differcen in there or someone elses life by helping the people and for yourself you can keep yourself in shape and always say no to drugs thats the best things to do to someone.

My decisions can choose my entire life's path. If i make even 1 bad decision, then my whole life could be ruined. The message in this video is that only you can choose the path of your life and no one alse can make your decisins for you. One person can change a good life to bad depending on who you hang out with and who you talk to. they can change your life in positive ways by giving.

Every decision affects your life one way or another. Even the smallest decisions can affect your life. It may not be a huge impact, but it could be. Just saying hi to someone in the halls that you don't normally talk to could save that persons life, and you won't even know it. Little decisions can make a very big impact on others.

The videographer’s message was to tell the viewers that everything requires a decision, and you must make one. Sometimes you only have a split second to answer, but other times you may have weeks on end.

People can change positively and negatively by a certain decision. You can change negatively by trying drugs or alcohol, which can change your life dramatically.

I think decisions can make a big diffrence in the way someones life is led.So many people go out of their way just to be ignorant or malicious.It takes more mussles to frown then it does to smile,so why can't it be the same way with the outside world? Maybe if one person shows that doing something nice can change something little,then they will realise that the entire globe will change the way people think,act,and do things.The will be more consiterit of other peoples ways,and cultures.The videographers message is that the whole globe could be better if we folloed one act of kindness.

I think the video was pretty cool cause it shows that you dont have to stand together.The video tells you that you dont have to be alone and you have choices that you can make and speck your mind and youll be herd.I liked the video cause it tells you that your not alone that we are one nation and we need to work together and speck to eachother and youll be herd dont be afraid to speck.When ever you feel like are country is not doing to well and you think you can do something about it then you can speck your mind and dont be afraid of are people just say something

Decisions play a very big part in your life.
Everything you do has a decision to be dicided on and what decision you make chooses what you do.
For example you can choose to go to school or you can choose not to so you make them everyday.
I think the videographer's purpose in this video is to show that it only takes one person to change somthing.
One person can change life in positive ways for example by one person recycling it helps by reducing pollution by a small amount but its still a change and a negative way would be to not recycle or to litter.

The video was very inspirational. Your decisions can make a huge difference in the way your life is led. If you sit around and let life fly by and do nothing to better yourself then you won't become anything. The ideograph's message is to not hold back because one person could change the world, anyone around us could. People develop new things everyday, and people who thought they could do nothing better the world in spectacular ways. There are also some negative things that people change like doing things to harm others or the environment. People change the world everyday and this video shows that you could change the world positively too.

The way your life is led is from how you act. To teach you how to lead your life and to take you into a better way to live with out getting in trouble. well in positive ways is go to school. And to try not to miss too many days of school. And some negative ways is when you never go to school. When you start a new thing that friends are doing and your under peer pressure. Or you start to drink and it starts to make you skip school more is some negative ways your life is led.

You make decisions every day big of small that can affect the outcome of your life. There are decisions like where to sit in the lunch room. Then there are big decisions like whether to smoke or not. Both of these can affect you life and it’s up to you to make the right ones. That is one of the biggest things for parents to teach their children. Sometimes if you make the wrong decision you have to wait longer for something. Then other times you end up in prison for the rest of your life. So the next time you decide something make sure it’s really what you want to do.

Different dicissions can effect how life is led because different solutions have diff ernt outcomes.I think the videographers message was that everything you do has to deal with a dicision.A person can make a negative/positive affect by the dicisions they make.If the make a bad dicision it is negative and if they make a good decision then it is positive.

My decisions make me different in so many ways. Although there are so many ways, they make me exactly who I am. Just be yourself and if you have to try to make someone become your friend just forget about it because you should always be excepted for who you are. I think the video was great and the main purpose of this video was to get people to choose what they want wisely and don't regret anything just try not to relive your past if you made a mistake.
