     This is the lecture that urges many people to think about their life. Arianna Huffington shared her idea, "Small idea" that can awaken much bigger ones: the power of a good night's sleep. According to her speaking, many people tend to think that a kind of sleep deprivation is one of the symbol of pride. Honestly, however, they are not. To be a good leader, High IQ or living busy do not influence. The essential of leadership is being able to see the iceberg before it hits the Titanic. Therefore, she urged us to discover the great idea through getting more sleep. She said that we can sleep our way to increased productivity and happiness.
    After I watched this lecture, a lot of friends of mine emerged in my head. Nowadays, many young people cannot sleep, or don't sleep enough. They are always busy because there are a lot of things to do everyday. My friends wake up in the early morning everyday, and most of the young people also do like my friends. They always worry about their life, so I want to recommend the lecture to them. To be an influential person, we have to own abilities for looking at the big picture. Looking at the big picture is crucial in these highly competitive times. That is, we have to take a step back to reconsider things we have. Taking it easy is better than impatience.
