The first clip
is a motivational clip Eric Thomas talks about the secrets to success. He
starts by saying if you would like to make six figures you can not just talk
about making six figures. he uses a story of a guru to explain how to be
successful. his story is about a man who goes to a guru to become successful.
the guru tell the guy to go to the beach the next day so he cal learn to become
successful. when they are at the beach the guru tells him to go to the
water. the guru holds his head under the water and soon after lets him breath.
he explains when you want to be success as much as you want to breath
then you will be successful..
The second speech is another motivational speech of a Gunnery
Sergeant who speaking to his marines before going to a mission in the war in
Afghanistan. He starts his speech by explaining that he was upset by not
receiving a motivating speech by his superiors so decides on telling one. Gunny
Sergeant Walgren explains a secret that the Marine Corps has by never
explaining on what is going on, and play games. he also stated that
he knew about the mission over seven month before, and never said anything so
that the marines will stay "pissed". Instead of talking about there mission in "Marjah" he goes on and tell the marines about a former Marine
John Glen who was the first to orbit around the space, and ran for senate
in 1974 against Howard Metzenbaum.
Sen. Metzenbaum told Sen. Glenn: "How can you run for
Senate when you have never held a real job?" Sen. Glenn answered
"I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps. I served through two
wars. I flew 149 missions. My plane was hit by antiaircraft fire on 12
different occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn't my checkbook; it was
my life on the line. It was not a nine to five job where I took time off to
take the daily cash receipts to the bank. -->
I ask you to go with me....as I went the other day to a Veterans
hospital and look at those men with their mangled bodies in the eye and tell
them they didn't hold a job. You go with me to the space program and go as I
have gone to the widows and orphans of Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee
and you look those kids in the eye and tell them that their dad didn't hold a job.
You go with me on Memorial Day, coming up, and you stand in
Arlington National Cemetery, where I have more friends than I'd like to
remember and you watch those waving flags. You stand there, and you think about
this nation, and you tell me that those people didn't have a job, I'll tell
you, Howard Metzenbaum, you should be on your knees every day of your life
thanking God that there were some men - SOME MEN - who held a job. And they
required a dedication to purpose, a love of country and a dedication to duty
that was more important than life itself. And their self sacrifice is what made this country possible..... I HAVE HELD A JOB, HOWARD! What about
you?" he goes on by telling his marines to forget all what
they have been training to do. and keep trust all who are amongst each other.
he explains the string has been cut and they are loose and nothing will stop
them from accomplishing their mission..
Both videos are motivational speeches. Both individuals tell a
story to paint a picture for there audience. Both individuals use a story that
relates their audience to gain attention and help motivate their audience. Although both videos are to motivate their audience each video are different type
of motivation. The first video is a speech to become successful, while the
second video was a speech to inspire the Marines who were getting ready to go
into battle, and remember why they were there.
At the end of pain there is success
