...can be related with his/her profession, personality or actions that he/she makes. Bono, the leader of U2, lives up to his name which means a great voice. But he is not only an amazing rock musician; in fact, he is very committed with solidarity. It does not matter how tough or robust he can be, inside him a generous human being has the desire to help somebody else. Bono is not only the soul of one of the greatest rock bands in history furthermore he is the soul of many solidarity projects and organizations too.

...Because we can, we must. Bono is known for being the lead voice of the Irish band U2 and also taking the crown for passionate activist and humanitarian. He sits on the board of Elevation Partners and is known for co-founding DATA, EDUN, the ONE Campaign, and Product RED. This incredible man has been praised in many ways including being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, receiving an honorary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II, and his greatest success being named Person of the Year in 2005. Bono has a few commencement speeches under his belt, and in 2004, he spoke of “betraying the age”, influencing graduates to take life by the horns and make a name for themselves. By using allusion, analogies, and anacoenosis, Bono calls a new generation to face the winding road ahead of them, life. “I was 17 when I first saw The Clash, and it just sounded like revolution… Later I learned that a lot of the rebels were in it for the T-shirt. They’d wear the boots but they wouldn’t march. They’d smash bottles on their heads but they wouldn’t go to something more painful like a town hall meeting”(Bono). Bono begins his speech by looking back on a time in his life when he was growing up and realizing how important everyone was to society, but how no one was taking a stand or doing anything about arising issues. Opening up to his audience through this allusion creates a connection between them. This relationship is kept as he makes his speech more about himself than the students. He talks a lot...

...JT McCarthy Mrs. Thrash English 1113 October 29, 2015 Ted Talk What we want in life is something that goes through my head almost every day. The wonder of what happens after someone dies or the wonder of what we are actually doing here in life. BJ Miller made his speech very well on these subjects. He lost his two legs and an arm in an accident that occurred his sophomore year of college. BJ works at Zen Hospice Project and thinks deeply about how to make a dignified, or graceful end of life for his patients. He says that many people want comfort, respect, and love. He talks about his accident and how it made him, in a way, face death and really think about what he wants in life. It’s very interesting to think about, especially in a personal sense. What I would want are probably the simple things that he mentioned, and maybe help people along the way. The way he presented his speech was very laid back and calm, kind of like a casual talk with a friend. He made a few funny comments which got the crowd laughing a little bit and kept them engaged. The way he put talking about death into context made the speech not as depressing as it should be. Also he was very calm throughout the speech which made it pleasurable to watch him. Watching his speech was very informative and made people think. His speech gave very good points and made sense. He also talked about making the most out of being dealt a bad hand and is in a way an example of that. He shows great leadership...

Bono was born to parents Bob and Iris Hewson, and raised in a middle class neighborhood in Dublin, Ireland. When Bono was only 14 years old, his mother passed away suddenly. This loss of his mother was devastating and it moved Bono to turn to music and Christianity as a source Bono has gained access to a very public stage over the course of the past 30 years. Early in his career, however, he made the decision that this stage would serve as platform to do good and provide him an opportunity to impact the world. Throughout his life, it has been Bono's leadership and ethics that have put him in a position to effect significant global change and influence worldwide participation in humanitarian activism. Bono’s Leadership Bono has established himself as a leader in both the context of his band, U2, as well as in the worldwide arena of humanitarian efforts. Utilizing an academic definition of leadership as “a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal,”[i] Bono clearly exhibits strong leadership in each of these aspects. The process of mutual influence between the leader and followers is evident in Bono’s interaction with his fellow band members, fans, and even his family. While the common goals may differ among these groups, Bono’s ability to inspire and effect direction...
