   “Brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it bad enough to break through them”

   “Don’t complain, just work harder”

   I really like those quotes. Not many people live with a philosophy/attitude like that these days.

   I don’t really know what to say. Watching that I felt something I’ve never felt before. Something I can’t explain.

   That was very powerful.

   I’m speechless. This is awesome. Watched the full Lecture of him on youtube. The full speech is NOT 10 minutes as Ross said. It is about 80 minutes.

   As Markus has already pointed out, the full speech is over an hour. But it is the most worthwhile hour or so you can possibly spend. Stop thinking about it and watch it NOW!

   This is the distillation of a lifetimes experience by one of the most intelligent, articulate and inspiring people I have ever met. If this is not a life changing experience for you, either you’re living a much more positive life than me, or you don’t have a pulse.

   You are both correct. I should have clarified. The first speech that I saw was a 10 minute Youtube clip that came from the Oprah show. That was the “full” speeach that I was referring to.

   We’ll let you off the hook Ross

   Thanks for the heads up though. Seriously, watching this video was a life-changing moment for me.

   Have you seen the lecture in its entirety?

   I don’t know if anyone is interested into this but he has also a speech about time management: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/Randy/Randy/timemanagement.html
