Evaluate the usefulness of the following entry on a note card for a speech about what

goes into a successful resolution for self-improvement.
Newsweek (24 Dec.

2012 ) recently reported that "more than a third of Americans will
make New Year's resolutions. . . . Most of them will fail." Newsweek also quotes selfhelp author, Anthony Robbins, who observes: "Motivation isn't the solution: it's part
of the problem." He suggests that believing "you need to feel motivated before taking
action" is counterproductive, referring to it as "the biggest barrier to actually getting
things done."
A) The card contains much useful information, and it is a good blend of statistics and
testimony.
B) The card contains information for two separate ideas, which defeats the purpose
of using cards.
C) The card contains good statistical information, but the testimony deals with
conjecture rather than proof.
D) The information is provocative but ironically provides little hope to the listener,
even though it is a self-help topic.
