This is one of my favorite motivational videos. A great montage that encourages the "pull yourself up by the boot straps" kind of mentality. If people like this type of video, I have a few more I'd love to share ^.^
Think twice before doing something stupid, like drugs, stealing, or suicide EDIT : Actually you shouldn't have to think twice about suicide, it's fuckin dumb Don't be fuckin dumb I know it seems like the answer, but it's not You should seriously see a psychologist if you think about ending your life You still matter
“The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are alive, and die only when you are dead. To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.” - Arundhati Roy, [I]The Cost of Living[/I]
