This is a very short (1:16 minute) motivational video clip posted on YouTube. Despite being so short, it carries a very powerful message.
It reminds me of a quote attributed to John Neal, as follows: “A certain amount of opposition is a great help to man. Kites rise against, not with the wind.”
In order to succeed, we need to challenge ourselves. We are not designed to coast but to strive forward toward our goals. Once achieved, we need to set new goals to move ourselves even farther forward.
I found it to be a very powerful video, despite being so short. Once you have finished watching it, please leave a comment with your opinion for others!

I was skeptical but after watching it … BOOM! Life = risk. I’ll put that in mind.

Yes, it is a very powerful video with a great message.
We get so focussed on our own difficulties and struggles, we forget that some great figures have had incredible struggles that may make ours seem insignificant in retrospect before they achieved their success.
Thanks for your comment!

This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing it.
I agree…people only see their success or how much money they have right now, as if those things fell from the sky, when in actual fact, what they have right now is acheived through years of hardwork, sweat and tears.
If you dont mind, I would like to post this video in my blog.

Not at all. It is a great video and the more widespread it gets, the more people will get to enjoy and benefit form it!
