Another motivational speech

- paul

Here is a quite a cool promotional video for the Heineken Cup. It’s a bit like Al Pachino’s in Any Given Sunday Speech, but it’s adapted to rugby.

I quite like this idea, how would your organisation do a motivational video like this ? Do you feel passionately enough about what you do ? Can you instil this passion in others ? If you and your team were to tell people about what you do, how would the people feel about what you do afterwards. Would their opinion change ? What is your mantra ?

Whether you are a professional rugby player or a programmer (like me), you need to be passionate about what you do. It doesn’t have to be something glamorous or humanitarian.

If you are not passionate, then maybe you are doing something wrong. Life is too short to be miserable every day or not loving what you do. You don’t need to love every part of what you do (like having to fill out and pay taxes) but, it’s the overall feeling of enjoying what you do that is important. 😀

Have a Mantra

A little bit longer than a normal mantra, but here is a 15 minute long mantra from Gary Vaynerchuk. He explains the ultimate way to be happy and successful by doing what you love.

I’m still going through the whole moving to being 100% self employed, but as a motivational video, I just love this. Gary Vaynerchuk explains that you don’t need money to do what you love, you simply position yourself to succeed. He explains that you do you can do things after hours, come home from your 9-5 job, grab a bite to eat and then start doing what you love from 7pm until 2am. That’s enough time to have an impact and change the world.

He ends by saying, ” just work” that’s how you get it.

I treat this as my little mantra, and I’ve probably watched* it at least 30 times so far. Do you have a mantra ?
