2. ON EXTERNALIZATION ______________________________________________________ Is it our new nirvana? I can now outsource tasks I do not want to perform to my "external mind." The GPS helps me transfer information from my brain to a satellite brain. When life is a math problem, I turn to my calculator. When I want some music, I turn to iTunes and it tells me what I like.

Is there a universal mind that is taking over my decisions? I will have to meditate on this. The Coach thinks . . . when memory loss begins, I can turn to Google, Yahoo and Wikipedia. ______________________________________________________3.

At that time, your audience will want you to answer a few questions:
The Coach sez . . . a great way to connect with your audience in your opening is to ask a question or share an inspiring personal story that relates to your topic. ______________________________________________________ 5. ON STUDENT LOWLIGHTS Some excerpts collected from the eccentric writing of Los Angeles high school students.
