STOP asking for easy – Motivational Video


Transcript:
Well, let me tell you what the problem is.
Alright? Let me tell you what the problem is.
The problem is:
Everybody wants the prize, but nobody wants to pay the price.
Right? Everybody wants the prize, but nobody’s willing to pay the price.
Nobody’s willing to put in the work.
Nobody’s willing to make the sacrifice.
Nobody’s willing to eat their own shit, you know?
To make it happen.
Everybody’s expecting it to be easy. I was just giving a talk the other day at school and someone said,
“Well, why would I choose that way? That’s much harder.”
“That way’s a lot harder. Why would I choose that direction?”
And I was like, “Man, why are we talking about hard versus easy?”
“Nobody said this was gonna be easy.”
We don’t want it to be easy.
If it was easy, then everybody would be doing it. Right?
If it wasn’t difficult then everybody would be doing it.
Everybody will be an entrepreneur.
Everybody would be a billionaire.
Everybody would be a successful athlete, or artist, or businessman, or salesperson, or scientist.
Everybody would be doing it. Right?
It’s not supposed to be easy.
You shouldn’t want it to be easy.
But if you have a dream, if you have a mission, if you have a passion, this shit is not gonna be easy.
Easy shouldn’t even be in the conversation or in your vocabulary.
This is supposed to be hard.
You should want it to be hard because then no one can replicate what you create.
Anything of value and of meaning is not gonna be easy
And that’s how it’s supposed to be.

Think Different: Here's to the Crazy Ones

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rwsuXHA7RA
Video Transcript:
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Fight Song – I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Fight Song | 战斗之歌

Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn’t say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I’m alright song
My power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong
I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care
If nobody else believes
Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and I’m chasing sleep
Everybody’s worried about me
In too deep say I’m in too deep
And it’s been two years I miss my home
But there’s a fire burning in my bones
I still believe yeah I still believe
And all those things I didn’t say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I’m alright song
My power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong
I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care
If nobody else believes
Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left in me
Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I’m alright song
My power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong
I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes
Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
No I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me

战斗之歌 | Fight Song

像是辽阔汪洋的一叶扁舟
也能掀起惊涛骇浪
只言片语就能打开心扉
或许我只有一支火柴
却能爆发一阵绚烂光芒
我曾未说出口的所有
仍深藏于我的脑海
今晚我会大声呐喊
这一次你是否听到我的声音
这是我的战斗之歌
重燃生命斗志之曲
证明我顽强不屈之歌
我的能量已被点燃
此刻开始征程我会顽强不屈
我会唱响我的战斗之歌
我并不在乎
是否有人会相信我
因为还有太多征程等我去挑战
失去战友我仍不舍追梦
所有人都担心我
说我陷得太深
已经有两年了我想念我的家
但我心中的火仍在燃烧
我仍坚信
我曾未说出口的所有
仍深藏于我的脑海
今晚我会大声呐喊
这一次你是否听到我的声音
这是我的战斗之歌
重燃生命斗志之曲
证明我顽强不屈之歌
我的能量已被点燃
此刻开始征程我会顽强不屈
我会唱响我的战斗之歌
我并不在乎
是否有人会相信我
因为还有太多征程等我去挑战
许多征程等我去挑战
像是辽阔汪洋的一叶扁舟
也能掀起惊涛骇浪
只言片语就能打开心扉
或许我只有一支火柴
却能爆发一阵绚烂光芒
这是我的战斗之歌
重燃生命斗志之曲
证明我顽强不屈之歌
我的能量已被点燃
此刻开始征程我会顽强不屈
我会唱响我的战斗之歌
我并不在乎
是否有人会相信我
因为还有太多征程等我去挑战
生命还有太多征程等着我去挑战

Lord of the Rings – What are we holding to?

Transcript:
Frodo Baggins: I can’t do this Sam.

Samwise Gamgee: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something.

Frodo Baggins: What are we holding on to, Sam?

Samwise Gamgee: That there’s some good in this world, Mr Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

Transcript:
Samwise Gamgee: Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It’ll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they’ll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields… and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?

Frodo Baggins: No, Sam. I can’t recall the taste of food… nor the sound of water… nor the touch of grass. I’m… naked in the dark, with nothing, no veil… between me… and the wheel of fire! I can see him… with my waking eyes!

Samwise Gamgee: Then let us be rid of it… once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can’t carry it for you… but I can carry you! COME ON!

Tangkuban Perahu Bandung Upturned Boat Volcano Mountain
Tangkuban Perahu a.k.a Upturned Boat – Volcano Mountain in Bandung

PS: I thought of posting Lord of the Ring (LOTR) scenes when I witnessed the beauty of Tangkuban Perahu during my recent trip to Bandung. The idea of visiting the crater reminds me of the hobbits on their quest to Mount Doom in LOTR.

If you are adventurous and don’t mind the hike up the mountain, there is a mountain man living on-top of Tangkuban Perahu! It is an awesome experience at Tangkuban Perah that you shouldn’t miss if you are visiting Bandung.

Be Remembered – Motivational Video

Video Transcript:

YOU LIVE AS LONG AS YOU ARE REMEMBERED

See the thing about life, we’re gonna die, right?
Eventually we’re gonna die, but our legacy live on.
The impact, can be non-perishable, forever.
But it’s gotta be built right and we got to take
advantage of the time we have right now.

What are you waiting for!
You’ve got one life to live.
Today begins; tomorrow continues
and never end…
until you reach your goal, and cross the finish line.
With your hand, held victorious.

You go after things. You try,
even if you fail you get back up,
and you continue to try and fail, continue to try and fail.
And ensuring you never fail to try.

Failure is part of recipe for success.
It’s the losers, that failed once and quit.
Every winner has done with failure.
The loser and the winner, both have failed…
it is just that a winner gets back up and does it again.

Making your dreams a reality, rep by rep.

Stop running from the potential what you can be, guys.
It’s inside of you, it’s always been there.

You must believe in yourself enough.
To be the person now,
of what others remember you later.

If you guys mentally believe you can do it,
your body will find a way to physically make it happen.

We put the work in now,
so we never wonder ‘what if’.

Not run by the clock,
But from our desire where we wanna go tomorrow.

It’s not for everybody
and might not be for you…
but you are still watching so maybe it’s for you.
Here we go!

There is no excuse, not to be the hardest mother fucking worker in the room.
And all your endeavour, schoolwork, the gym, your career, your relationship.
You need to be attached to it.
It’s got to mean more than anything.

Believe in yourself.
Be the one of a hundred that has a belief.
Instead of just fucking jaw jack talk of intent.

You only live once.
But if you work it right,
once is enough my friends.
