On October 26, 2015, morning, I listened to a speech presented by Ted Talks on YouTube. The speaker was Simon Sinek, the author of Start of Why. His speech was called “How great Leaders Inspire Action”, the size of the audience was around 40. The concept of his speech was about the action that leaders were inspired by.

Again Apple is popular because of the features the company’s computer have, the appearance, the functioning, the ease of use, the reliability, the return on investment, the service available for the product. His summary includes mention of a higher power for the first time and he speeds into it much like he did the opening which leaves an impression of a lot of intensity but some confusion over the truth of his
