Reflection #6

Hello blog followers,
       It has been a crazy couple weeks and I'm happy with the final result. I feel like i have learned a lot. I started at zero and now I am where I am. I wouldn't say I am now an expert, but I have definitely laid down a good foundation for when I further study microeconomics.
      Studying it was different than I thought. I went in with the ideas that it could help me manage personal finances better but it never really dove into that. For the most part the topics seemed to be for companies who run studies, or closely watch their products. Its a topic that would be above the heads of normal people including myself. But that doesn't mean that it wasn't worth learning because I thought that it totally was. From a stand point of investing, the lessons often gave scenarios about how certain event can transform the profit that a company can make, and in that way it was very useful.
        For now I am going to ease on the break a bit. I wont necessarily stop, but I am going to learn at a slower pace.

        As for my TED Talk, I am proud of the result. My goal for it was to put a little twist of my own on microeconomics. I could have gone up there and said a bunch of boring fact or statistics, but I didn't want to. I wanted to shine a new light on the topic. And that the reason I used the topic of Value (sentimental value). When I started my topic I realized that a lot of the ideas could be used for other purposes. Like the demand curve doesn't have to just represent people buying a product, It could represent college accepting student and things like that.
        At first it was hard to come up with ideas. Like besides changing up the supply and demand curve I wanted to touch on more advanced topics and It was hard to further my analogies. Finally, I came up with the idea of talking about producer surplus and marginal cost, and it worked perfectly.
       
        Its sad to see a project like this come to an end. It does make the whole project to have so much freedom in the ares you want to study. And thats one of the reason this has been one of my favorite projects. So goodbye to my followers. Goodbye to this project. It was fun while it lasted.
