A lot of people feel influenced by people they watch on TV or the big-screen and wish to emulate them. They get a sense of confidence and adrenaline pumping when they see successful people perform. This is why there are loads of inspirational and how-to videos on YouTube. Yet, multiple researches have demonstrated that merely by seeing others perform rarely helps. Even the number of times viewed does not tilt the balance much. This is because, while one may memorize the steps performed in any session, until one practices the same, it is pointless. And that is why even after viewing countless management training sessions on YouTube, one does not overnight speak convincingly like Steve Jobs did. More than merely watching, viewers must set aside time for practice. One may start small and experiment. The practice must be mixed where simultaneous to watching, one must practice alongside.
