    This video was produced by me on Nov. 9, 2012.
    The highlights used in this video came from the last two NBA seasons and this preseason training camp. When I came up with an idea of making such a video as this one I first had some doubts because there were so many motivational videos around the YT so I thought that I didn't want to make 'just another one'. On the other hand I really wanted to mix it and so I thought to myself 'I'll do it no matter what and I couldn't care less how many other motivational videos were there uploaded, my video is going to be special regardless of anything because I owe myself at least this much'.

    1. You still gotta sleep
    2. Work hard while being thankful for what you have
    3. You gotta love what you do, or else you will just feel pain
    4. When you fail, stay positive, work harder and believe that you will succeed.

    What's my excuse? The fact that I can't handle the ball very well. That WAS my excuse. With dedication and hard work, I am now able to escape most defenders with very few moves. No excuses.

    This is what I needed, because I have been struggling to get my business off the ground, and had to deal with many rejections, when I shared it with people. I realize that I have to face the fear of being shy, and going to talk to people about the business I'm in, and how it can help the people who I talk to. Also, I'm learning to not take rejection personal, it's part of success, and the story goes that you learn from your mistakes, so you can prepare to be successful.

    This actually made me cry while watching.. Made me remember the reasons why I am trying my best to improve myself in basketball. Most times, they don't pick me to play with them on the court because I'm slow, can't jump, no shooting touch but I didn't care. I watch them play and when they all leave, I practice on my own hoping the next time they see me in the near future, they will recognize how much my abilities have grown.

    I wasn't very good at basketball when I was young. Now all of a sudden my basketball skills got better. I could shoot the ball properly, backwards layups and left handed layups. And I am still 13 so if I want to get better on what I enjoy playing, I must work hard and train hard to be good as Lin, Drose, or Nash. I must use those years my life to hone my skills and to be able to be one of the best basketball players in the NBA.

    From what I've learned about this thing called the 'life' was the fact that no so many chaps out there gonna encourage you down your road to accomplishing your dream.
    What makes one happy about his dream is he himself who chases it, he who works hard, he who doesn't stop until he's there. It's always been and always will be a man and his dream. Every time I step on that court I'm the happiest guy on Earth regardless if there's anyone around. Even when I'm old and grey I'll still love the game.

    You're welcome, mate! It's indeed music to my ears to hear that. I mean, if through this video I succeed in helping out yourself along with many others in terms of motivating and giving that slight extra push towards one's goals and dreams, I'm the happy guy because that would've meant I myself succeeded in reaching my own goal. It's like a win-win situation for both parties and to me that's the beauty of it, that's what drives me.

    Jay, motivation comes within. Nothing we can say, nothing we can do can motivate you. You play basketball because its a passion. If you love it you will find a way to play, if you don't you will make excuses. Don't come to CZcams searching for motivation. I didn't play any of my highschool sports and now I am playing for Miami Oxford's regional Campus being looked at for D1 basketball. I had practice yesterday and I thought I had been working hard. They wore me out. I feel sick right now but I

    You're damn right on using that summer time to improve and to return in your best shape when fall comes. Just don't forget to rest properly and let your body recover in order to prevent any possible injuries which I wish never happen to you :)
    Train hard, eat well and healthy, rest properly, stay focused and dedicated to your dream and you'll get to where you'd like to be at.

    @iDesignatua  Před 11 lety

    You're welcome. Believe in yourself and keep on fighting no matter what. Even if noone else believes in you, you must still believe in yourself and that's something to start with. Eventually you'll see good things starting to happen to you, just don't give up. Just don't.
    It's not like this or that way of achieving it is universal and works for everyone. Some need a push, some need to split their bigger goals into components, some just need to start believing. You'll figure your one, I'm sure.

    You can download them free of charge using one of the download links that are included in the description box. You can always share my videos that you've previously downloaded with your friends without asking me for any further permission.
    If you'd like, you can contribute with a donation ofc (link included in the description box) but that's completely optional, and so it's pretty much it.

  • @iDesignatua
    @iDesignatua  Před 11 lety

    It doesn't matter if anyone else in the whole wide world cared about that sports. What really matters is the fact the he himself cares about it. That's the whole point of being motivated to do something, when regardless of what others do or say you just go out there and give your best and put in as much effort as you possibly can.
    That was my message to that guy. Just move forward no matter what regardless of support and appreciation of the outside. The greatness from within concept, feel me?

  • @ergegregreggregregreg8205

    So many motivational videos talk about sacrificing sleep, or dying in the pursuit of success. I don't think it's worth it. You don't get to enjoy or reach that success when health fails you. Speaking from my own experience, I spent so much time trying to attain my goals and when I finally got it I realised people so often become fixated on their target that they forget to fully appreciate the process. You live your life clamouring so much for success that you have not lived at all.
