His videos are very motivational and are all over social media often. I chose David Goggins' video because he is an inspiring figure who shows the power of mental toughness and pushing through challenges. His story of overcoming hardships in his life is motivating and encourages people to never give up. Goggins teaches the importance of taking responsibility for your actions and always striving to be better. His message of always continuing- even when things get hard is very inspirational. <a href="https://youtu.be/X4nGU4DZUwE?si=vhID9Bjn2Yj7h-S6" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/X4nGU4DZUwE?si=vhID9Bjn2Yj7h-S6</a> Hi Everyone, for this assignment I chose a David Goggins video.

He just doesn't motivate people in losing weight but also in general health and also how to improve in life. His words just mean a lot when you are in a bad position in life and make you realize that life is worth living and you can always better yourself. For me personally he has helped me with my gym and weight loss journey that I'm currently on. Here is the vid. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIsiimtODRU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIsiimtODRU</a> Hey guys,

I chose this video because I am personally afraid of being a failure and being no where near my goal.Another one of my fears is wasting my time and having no progress. Just like the video mentions time goes by quick and you have to live them. I like how the video mentions that nothing is gonna get done by itself, you have to do it. This video makes me feel more motivated because it makes me want to do better and better b doing things that will make me reach closer to my goals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTB1YiWxxKU This is the video that I find motivating.

Against our own doubts, fears, and laziness. Personal accountability, pushing past excuses, and putting 100% of our effort into everyday are some takeaways. The video is pretty intense and emotional making it very motivating. I think it’s a powerful reminder that true strength comes from within. At the end of the day, all you have is yourself. https://youtu.be/QkCa–fyGjA?si=12qPMDyRltL-9fGO I chose this video because it emphasizes that the real battle in life is not against others, but against ourselves.

It reminds one that there are failures, there are setbacks along the way to success. The speaker's words are powerful words that resonate emotionally, and it is easy to relate to the message. There is heavy music and heavy visuals, but they are part of a buildup of energy and determination. Learning about resilience encourages people to struggle through their own failures. The message that pain and struggle are temporary but giving up forever is especially encouraging. Overall, the video reinstates hope and internal resilience when motivation is gone. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSQVsvYH9xo" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSQVsvYH9xo</a> The video is inspiring because it speaks to the importance of persevering even when one feels overwhelmed by life.

For this week's motivational video, I decided to include Mathew McConaughey winning Best Actor at the 86th Academy Awards in 2014. What stood out to me about his speech and the reason I find it so motivational is the way he describes three attributes in his life, having someone to look up to, someone to look forward to, and someone to chase. The way he describes who his hero is has always till to this day stood out to me. In his case his hero is always “himself ten years from now”, continuously showing the maturity, one gains through life experiences and age, as well as relentless ambition. This invoked in me the idea that motivation does not consist of being perfect today, however it is the idea of always being open to becoming the best version we give of ourselves. Our journey is just commencing, every day that passes just assures us that we are a step closer to our greatest goals. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD2cVhC-63I" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD2cVhC-63I</a> Iliana Salcedo Angel Hello everyone!

Even when things aren't going well, don’t let it get to you and instead find the good in that situation. There is always a better perspective you can have on things and you must always keep a positive mindset even when things get tough. Focusing on the good instead of letting the “bad” get to you, is also a way to do better and clap back from the situation. It’s important to always remember to stay grounded and focus on the positives which also helps build resilience and eventually lead you to success. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdTMDpizis8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdTMDpizis8</a> I chose this video because it reminds us that there is good in every situation we call “bad”.

This video highlights Margaret Hamilton's role in developing the software for the Apollo 11 mission. As the lead software engineer, she and her team created the code that allowed astronauts to land safely on the Moon. Her work was crucial during a critical moment when the onboard computer became overloaded, and her software allowed it to prioritize tasks and avoid mission failure. This story inspires me because it shows the impact that a person can make through their work and, for me, she serves as a model of what a great engineer should be. Margaret Hamilton's contributions laid the foundation for modern software engineering and continue to influence the field to this day. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYCZPXSVvOQ" rel="nofollow">NASA’s first software engineer: Margaret Hamilton - Matt Porter & Margaret Hamilton</a> Hi everyone, the video that I choose is about Margaret Hamilton, who is known as the first NASA engineer, she had a large impact on the field of software engineering.

The video clip that I chose is of David Goggins called “ Stay Hard” because in this video, he represents the importance of mental toughness and self-discipline. He talks about not letting roadblocks get in our way and pushing through them like excuses and self-doubt. This motivates me especially during these stressful times of getting through the end of the semester. Especially when he talks about his tough early childhood with all of his extraordinary challenges. Reminding me that there are no shortcuts for achieving our goals and that we have to endure the process, and that we can learn to love the things we hate. This clip inspires me to keep pushing through and finish the semester off strong. I hope to adapt this mentally to other aspects into different things of my life to be able to achieve the goals that i want to achieve. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78I9dTB9vqM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78I9dTB9vqM</a> Hello, my name is Angel Guerrero.

It depicts a fight between Buster Douglas, and Mike Tyson, and Buster Douglas has dreamed of beating Mike in a fight, and did not give up even after being almost knocked out. An inspiring quote from this video that will stick with me from now on, was "If it was easy, everyone would do it". I find that quote so realistic and true, certain efforts go unnoticed and can create your dreams come true essentially. After viewing everyone's comments for this assignment, and watching the video I chose, I felt more comfortable knowing there is so many people with different dreams or accomplishments they want to achieve in life and we are all fighting for it. <a href="https://youtu.be/UNQhuFL6CWg?si=rylkyLjEGsrhSNT3" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/UNQhuFL6CWg?si=rylkyLjEGsrhSNT3</a> Hello Classmates, For this assignment I chose a video talking about how far someone's true efforts and desires can take them, as motivation.
