This video clip is of an artist named Scott Mescudi, or also known as Kid Cudi. The speech Scott gives generally revolves around his life, more specifically his teens and his young adulthood. The reason why this video has stuck with me over the years is because of the message Scott gives while simply talking about his own life; the struggles of lacking a father figure while living in a small town without a clue on what you should do or be is something many people can relate to, myself included. The way Scott spoke and presented himself gravitated towards me because I could see bits of my own mannerism and thinking in his words as well. Within the 19 minute speech, Scott makes you feel his anxiety when describing how he grew up and his happiness when describing his climb in the music industry. The discipline Scott took while perfecting his craft is something that I think many people can take away from this speech.

Hi my name is Aubrey Cayabyab. The video I chose is a clip from the film Patch Adams and this movie, and honestly any Robin Williams movie is motivational to me. I find this clip inspirational because it emphasizes treating people with humanity, kindness, valuing humor, life, love, and cultivating relationships. The speech in the video calls out the robotic, cold, and scientific persona doctors adopt. They forget to treat their patients as equals, people, and I love how this movie revolves around the importance being kind, empathetic, and just remembering to laugh in the darkest of times. Patch Adams suffers so much, he goes through a tremendous amount of loss, yet still finds it in himself to keep going, smile, and make others laugh. I love when his patients come in at the towards the end with the clown noses and how he made hospitals appear welcoming and not intimidating. This movie rips out my soul then gently places it back inside and this clip reminds me that there is so much joy in this world. There is so much happiness left for me to experience and so much kindness I still have left to give. I also chose this video because I remember my aunt feeling very appreciated when he pointed to the nurses in this scene.

Hello my name is Jesse Stone. This is a clip that is special to me. It’s purpose is to acknowledge your failures and to move past them. Throughout my high school years, I struggled with health problems that required me to lose weight to get other them. I found this very difficult. I was failed many times and wanted to quit. When I felt like I had lost, I would listen to this video. It would motivate me to keep trying. I eventually succeeded and became healthy. I am very thankful for this video. It may just be a bunch of clips and voice lines mixed together, but it helped change my life.

Hello everyone, I chose this video clip because I like the message Matthew McConaughey sent in his small “Hero” speech. In his speech he tells us that when he was 15 years old, he was asked by a person who his hero was, and he replied himself in 10 years. He says he is his own hero but he’s never going to his hero but that’s fine with him because it keeps him with somebody to keep on chasing. I liked his speech because it could be applied to real life. It gives us a sense of drive to follow our “hero” and never stop trying to achieve it. Our “hero” is a variety of different things, it could be whatever we look up to, whatever it is we look forward to, whoever it is we are chasing. I tend to listen to his speech every day because it motivates me to continue chasing my “hero” which in this case is me looking forward to becoming a much better person and achieving my dreams.

I chose this video because Kobe Bryant was my childhood hero. I am a huge Lakers fan, and some of my best memories as a child was watching Kobe Bryant play. He had one of the best work ethics I’ve ever seen, and he used that work ethic to become a great basketball player and person. When he passed away earlier this year, I was extremely sad and could not believe it. I still like to watch motivational videos of Kobe Bryant such as this one.

When I feel lost or hopeless, I listen to this song. Not too long ago I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and have to take a medication for help. Mental health is something my family looks down on and to this day, I have not really told any of them about it. My last semester is this one and I have been struggling. I hope that everyone is doing well and safe in this pandemic. It is hard and limiting us to do the things we like or see the people we love, but we have to keep going and find other ways to work around it.

Hello, I chose this video/song because I honestly like the meaning behind this song. It is in spanish but Rene, the man in the video sings/talks about how hard his life has been and all the obstacles he has had to face but even when he was about to give up he kept on going. Throughout his life he felt alone and he had a hard life but yet he would keep on fighting and trying to overcome his problems and everyone around him would not notice. People thought he was okay. The only person he knew that will always be there is his mother. Overall, the message this song gives is that no matter how hard life gets, always keep facing forward and keep going. Little by little you will accomplish your goals.

I chose the music video called Llegara by Myke Tower for my motivational video because every time I am feeling unmotivated, I listen to this song and it pushes me to work harder. This song is in Spanish and overall it talks about having patience and working hard because one day your hard work will pay off. In the song, Myke Towers talks about how in the beginning all he had was a dream of becoming a well-known rapper and now people pay to watch him perform, I find this really motivating because he believed in himself and he didn’t give up when things got tuff. Life has its ups and downs but as long as you believe in yourself anything you set your mind to is possible and this song confirms that. In the song, he as well talks about to never look at things with a negative mindset but always with a positive mindset because everything that occurs in our life is to better us for future occurrences. As I listen to this song it makes me feel at peace because I know that all my hard work and effort will pay off in the future even if I feel stressed out. This song also makes me feel like anything is possible if I believe in myself because I should always be my biggest fan.

This video is a short motivational speech done by Deshauna Barber. I chose this video because it talks about never giving up and challenging yourself to reach your goals. Deshauna wanted to become miss USA, but in order to get there, she first had to win her state. It took her seven tries to win her state. Even with losing six times, she never gave up. Hearing the word “no” made her work harder and harder each time. Eventually she won her state and then her first try running for miss USA she won. I think everyone should live by her words. We are going to hear the word “no” in our life more than “yes”. We are going to fail a lot in our life, but we should take our failure and work harder. You cannot quit and give up when things get hard, you have to challenge yourself and work harder to get what you want in life.

Hello, my name is Sofia Dominguez, this is not necessarily a video, but this audio is from Earl Nightingale’s book “The Strangest Secret in the World”. This audio was sent to me by my uncle about a year ago. It is a long audio, but the main idea is the “key” to a happy/financially positive life. This audio can be broken down in so many ways, people do not even have the patience to listen to it. But I highly suggest it, Nightingale talks about what success should be, success should essentially be because you as an individual are doing something that you want to do, something that will benefit you and show hard work. He explains how people with goals succeed, those who don’t, well they don’t. Now this is obviously a simple method, but listen to his analogies and details, he makes it very simple to understand. There is a lot more to this audio, more than I can possibly explain in a brief description, so I highly recommend listening to it. ” We become what we think about”
