Gary Vaynerchuk: Start doing what you like

You probably never herd of Gary Vaynerchuk and I am sure you never herd of his video blog Wine Library TV.

He is not famous, he speaks with a lot of "fucks" and "shits", but he really knows what he is talking about. "If you don't like what you are doing now, please stop. You will always find a way to make money doing what you like".

Matt: Dancing all around the world

Inspiration comes from actions. He is Matt.You probably herd of him, because his dance is famous.

Dancing mean joy, you should do everything that makes you happy, because happiness is the single engine to success, not vice-versa.

Matt is not rich, but he seems happy and that's why I consider this video as being inspired.

Shawn Achor: Happiness is the engine, not the goal

You work more, you have more success, you get to be happy... WRONG. Shawn Achor says this formula is wrong and I agree. If we put happiness after the success, we will never be happy or we will be for a very short period of time, because our expectations of success increase all the time, with every success we attain.

We have to put happiness in front of all, because happiness is the engine to success... so we have to reverse the formula. How can we be happy before being successful? Well, the secret is to always live in the present.

Randy Pausch: The Last Lecture before his Death

When I watched this speech of Randy Pausch I just felt that starting this blog was a great great decision, because I am actually building a collection of lessons, lessons for life.

I am pretty young, I hope I will not die soon, but I will certainly die someday and it is a really hard job sometimes to know how to live your life. There's no answer to that, you live it your own way, but be sure that you enjoy it.

My dad died when I was fifteen and he left me with one lesson: "Wherever you go, whoever you meet, leave a place for a smile".

Watch the lesson of Randy Pausch for his children, that he will never see grow up.

Amy Purdy: Living Beyond Limits

Amy Purdy is giving us a lesson about living beyond limits. She lost her legs when she was 19 and now she is world champion at snowboarding.

It's funny that we find our strength and motivation only when "our feet are cut off".

Jill Bolte Taylor: Left or right, rational or spiritual

Jill Taylor is a neuro-anatomist, she studies the brain. Her speech at TEDTalks is one of the most viewed, because she had a discovery.

She discovered how is it to live without the left hemisphere of her brain.

Elizabeth Gilbert: Eat, Pray, Love

Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of the best-seller "Eat, Pray, Love", is giving a hell of a speech about inspiration. The thing with inspiration is that you have to be always prepared for it and more important not to be afraid to manifest it.

The result of your inspiration might or might not be successful, might or might not be inspiring for others, but... you are not allowed to waste it.

Larry Smith: Excuses, excuses...

The biggest obstacle in our live is not the economy, is not the bad luck, is even not the political context. The biggest obstacle in our live is us. Because we have a great ability... we make excuses and we always search for reasons to not take action.

So, Larry Smith says that this is the reason we will fail to have a great carrier, UNLESS...

Nick Vujicic: How to get up

It should not impress you the things he can do without arms and legs, it should impress you the things he says, because nothing it's impossible, the impossible it's just in our minds.

We build frontiers because we want to have excuses in order to motivate our failure and our lack of courage to follow our dreams. We are afraid of dreams because dreams do not have limits, do not have frontiers.

Inspired by a fatso

The inspiration and determination don't come always from TV stars or successful entrepreneurs. In most of the cases the greatest stories are those of normal people, like you and me.

He's name is Roger and this is his story.

Matthieu Ricard: Habits of happiness

What is HAPPINESS? An European turned to Buddhism explains what happiness is and how to train your brain in order to be happy, because the happiness always comes from inside, never from outside.

JK Rowling: Why is failure good?

JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, gave on June 2008, the year when I graduated a formidable speech about failure.

Before she invented Harry Potter, she was very poor, divorced and she consider herself a failure. But that was good, because being a failure enabled her to see herself for what she really was, strip away all the fears, strip way all the preconceptions and remain only with the essential.

Not all the achievements are good in life, because some of those will deviate you from the path you really belong to.





"Failure meant stripping away the inessential"

Neil Pasricha: How to see life as if you were 3 years old

Neil Pasricha blog was awarded the best blog in the world. He actually inspired me to create this blog and collect all the inspirational and motivational videos I see in one place.

Neil Pasricha talks about awareness. Awareness it's a key element of happiness. We are surrounded by wonder, by beauty. We don't notice that because we forgot the moment of discovery, the time when we discovered the world and stare in astonishment.




"Embrace you inner 3-year old you and see the tiny joys that make life so sweet"...

Steve Jobs: Stay hungry, stay foolish!

I begin this blog, this collection of inspirational videos, with Steve Jobs. He's Stanford Commencement Address from 2005 is, in my opinion, one of the most inspirational speeches of the last decade. 


Steve Jobs knew how to live before he died, because he always knew that one day he will die. 




"Death is very likely the single best invention of life"...
