Motivational Speech - Work Harder

I saw this video and thought it is a great great inspirational/motivational video. A fantastic text that is worth listening carefully ;) I hope you like it!

Dear Hard Work, 

I used to hate you.

When you called my name, 

I heard it but ran away from you. 

When I knew you were coming, 

I used to hide from you.

When you influenced others to talk to me, 

I quickly made excuses to get away from you. 

Afraid of the pain because I didn't want to get hurt.

Afraid to fail, so I didn’t even try.

And afraid of your name because of what you have done to others.

Who you think you are?

Making me so afraid of who you are? 

Reflection in the mirror,

Shadow behind me, 

I take one step  and you still ahead of me.

Sweat on my face, tears in my eyes,

I keep on going, 

I heard you tell no lies.
You turn the poor to rich, 

F to A’s.
Is there anything that you can't do?

Now look at me,
You made me who I am today

and because of you, 

I have this never losing, never giving up attitude. 

Quitting?
That is not in my vocabulary.
When they quit, I keep going. 
When they sleep, I work harder.
When they say that I can’t and count me out, I show them that I can.
When I tell about my dreams and they laugh, I make sure I laugh last.

I’m a dream chaser, 
That means I chase my dreams, 
And not no one else’s.

Only I can defeat me, 
It’s me against this work you put on me, 
There Is no losing – I will not lose.
I came this far and I’m not stopping now.

Oh hard work,
My dad was right about you, 
You do pay off, and because of that 
I love you. 
How can I not? 
I’m no longer hiding from you, 
I’m waiting for you.
Matter of fact, where are you? I need you, 
Because in hard work - I trust!
