Hey guys today's video is going to be about all those
-
Inspirational sayings and inspirational quotes that we've all come to know and love and I'm not talking about all of them
-
I'm just talking about the really overdone ones or the ones that are just plain stupid and just to be clear
-
I have no problem with people who will try to inspire others. I think that's great. That's one of the many reasons
-
why I
-
still do YouTube I'm all for deeper meanings like I love when things actually make you have to think but then there's the ones that are
-
Just trying way too hard to be inspirational
-
it's those quotes that are just so cheesy and just not real and they're
-
Constantly posting about them whether it's to remind themselves
-
Or to try and inspire the rest of us we've all seen the posts you know you're scrolling down your Instagram feed
-
and suddenly only some girl pulls this picture with a caption of nice-looking pet I
-
I did- I just caught myself- sorry young girls and guys I got to be a little PC here
-
I know guys that post those things as well, you know
-
I'm just trying to be real here usually more girls that I've seen personally that I don't presume say that either
-
There's a 50/50 exactly equal amount of guys and girls that post these things all right. It's not the point
-
I don't know why I'm making that point the point is I am a horrible person okay, and I have a horrible mind
-
It doesn't let me get inspired by these things when I know how hard someone is trying to make an inspirational pole or trying to
-
Be serious and inspiring I can't help but be realistic and make them a little less serious
-
Sorry in advance.

Quote: The meaning of life is to give life a meaning.
-
If the meaning of life is to give life a meaning, you kind of just did that for us!
-
Now didn't you? You already gave life a meaning!
-
So I guess life is meaningless because you already defined it!
-
Quote: You miss 100% of the shots that you don't take.
-
And how is this one even Inspirational?
-
You can't make a shot if you don't take it, that's like stating the obvious!
-
Think about that.
-
*amazing burp*
-
-Did you ask her out?
-
-Nah, man I chickened out.
-
-You know, you miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take.
-
-No, I didn't miss the shot! I just didn't take it.
-
-No what it means is you can't make the shot, if you don't take the shot.
-
-Well that's like pointing out the obvious!
-
-That's like saying if you don't take the bus, you can't take the bus.
-
-Or, how you would put it, you miss a hundred percent of the buses you don't take.
-
wow... that... is...
-
Genius! It's like mind blowing!
-
Quote: Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.
-
I think I can fly and I think I can't die!
-
I must be right!
-
Quote: It's not the number of breaths we take, but the number of moments that take our breath away!
-
Boo
-
*can't breathe*
-
*cough*
-
*wtf noise*
-
(It's people coughing, I give up trying to caption it properly!)
-
I can't breath
-
Quote: Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present.
-
So we're just making puns now? Well in that case:
-
Tomorrow is going to be a chore... That's why they call it the few-chore
-
Yesterday was so awful, you wish you could have just skipped it! That's why they call it the pass
-
The next seven days are just going to suck all the energy out of you... That's why they call it a weak. (week? get it)
-
Quote: You cannot save people, you can only love them
-
Well, I guess, but don't tell that to a firefighter or a lifeguard
-
*splashes of a man desperately trying to be convincing that he is actually drowning accompanied by rambling that is often cut midways through a sentence*
-
You over there!
-
Help me...
-
Love you
-
Quote: Shoot for the moon even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.
-
This one is not even inspiring if you think about it. Like the beginning part is good
-
It's like shoot for the moon go for it
-
And I agree the next part is... is actually if you think about it, really stupid
-
It's not inspiring at all! It's saying: Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you know at least you got the stars.
-
That's like telling a kid: Hey go for your goals even if you don't make it, well you know good enough
-
You know what, I'm just gonna quit my job.
-
I'm going to quit my job, move to Hollywood and pursue my true passion of becoming a Oscar award-winning actor!
-
Because even if I miss...
-
I'll still land among the stars.
-
Well at least I've still got my oscar.
-
Quote: We have to look through the rain to see the rainbow
-
I grew up in Hawaii
-
You don't need to look through the rain to see a rainbow!
-
You can go to Yosemite and see a double rainbow without any rain.
-
The fact that you're even encouraging people to see the rain!
-
You're putting a negative... that you're putting rain there, and rain is great.
-
Who says rain is a bad thing. Rain helped create the rainbow.
-
Quote: You have to kiss a lot of frogs, before you find your prince.
-
This one is so dumb.
-
I disagree.
-
-So you dumped another one huh?
-
-Yeah. Gotta kiss a lot of frogs first, before you meet your prince.
-
-Nope, even if you do find your prince you think he's gonna want to be with a serial frog kisser?
-
-Obviously not real frogs you gotta a kiss a bunch of gross guys first?
-
-And that's better, how?
-
Quote: When life gives you lemons make Lemonade.
-
I forgot the sugar!
-
Lemonade is not just made of lemons. It's barely lemons!
-
It's mostly water and sugar. Life's not gonna give us that!
-
That's like telling somebody: Hey you have this crappy situation (Lemons)
-
Now make it better (Lemonade) Without offering them any water or sugar (The Help)
-
It's like hey you just got fired?
-
Go and make lemonade and get an even better job.
-
Except there's no jobs available and even if there were, I mean let's be real you just got fired! No, one's gonna hire you.
-
You know what that sound inspirational:
-
No one wants to hire, the guy that just got fired.
-
Or girl that just got fired.
-
It takes more muscles to frown, than it does to smile.
-
-Hey, you know it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile right?
-
-Right, okay and?
-
-Well maybe you should smile more because you know it's easier.
-
-Wow, I thought you were supposed to be inspirational. You want me to take the easy way out?
-
-No, I was just tryna... I'm just trying to say that...
-
Quote: You'll find love when you stop looking
-
That's like somebody saying
-
Hey I've been looking for waddle my whole life can't find him I guess I'll put the book away and not look!
-
Maybe that way, I'll find him.
-
-I just can't figure it out. I stopped looking years ago, and I still can't find love.
-
-Hey I'm sorry, I couldn't help but overhear but I was thinking maybe one day you and I could grab some...
-
-I'm sorry I'm just gonna stop you right there. I'm not looking right now.
-
-Oh
-
Okay, then...
-
-See I just don't get it man!
-
Quote: Live every day like it's your last
-
This is the worst thing you can preach to kids and I heard this as a kid growing up all the time.
-
This is so irresponsible! The reason why people take care of themselves and they behave and they fall in love is is for their future
-
It's not for that day
-
-Hey what's up man?
-
-Dude what the hell happened?
-
-Well if you refer to all this
-
Uh
-
Yesterday I was on my way to spend all my life savings at the mall and when I got there, other than just parking in the hot sun,
-
I just rammed my car to the front doors, kinda ran over a few people.
-
-WHAT?
-
-That's when the cops showed up and get this
-
I recognized one! It was that one bastard that gave me a ticket a couple of month ago!
-
So I just walked up to him and just punched him in the face, got tackled and now I'm here!
-
-What are you crazy? You just ruined your life!
-
-No no, it's fine because yesterday was my last day. Oh, and so is today! You know what I'm just going to drop the soap
-
I don't even care I'm not scared.
-
Quote: Love what you do. Do what you love.
-
How profound! How... how brilliant?!
-
It's literally saying the same thing twice! The only way that this quote is remotely useful is in math!
-
The transitive property.
-
You can also say: Eat what makes you full. Be full from what you eat.
-
Enjoy where you live. Live where you enjoy living.
-
One plus two equals three. (1+2=3)
-
Three equals two plus one. (3=2+1)
-
#transitiveproperty
-
Always look on the bright side this one's not that stupid
-
It's just they shouldn't have put the word always in there. You can't always look on the bright side
-
I mean you can but that's delusion. I just found out my girls pregnant. What are we gonna do like it's Gonna Ruin us
-
Hey, come on. Don't think like that. I mean
-
I love her and I think she's the one but I just don't think we're ready to be parents yet
-
Hey, look on the bright side. You're right, this is a gift- you don't even know if it's yours yet
-
I mean she did kiss a lot of frogs before you, you know looks money doesn't buy happiness
-
Last but not least this one is actually one of my favorite and the perfect example to use because it's the one that everybody usually
-
Agrees with everybody grew up with this this quote being told to them
-
In one way or another whether it's literally a teacher or parents saying that to you or an
-
inspirational video or you saw the lesson on some Disney show. According to shows, according to everybody else money is the root of all evIl and
-
Although again, I agree with this one to a certain degree
-
I know it sounds bad, but does it make you that bad of a person to be realistic for a change? What's wrong?
-
Just found out my grandma is dead. What what you saw yesterday? She passed away last night
-
No, she's still alive, but she's in the hospital right now
-
She requires a very very expensive surgery and I can't afford it. Can barely afford rent. Let alone the food on the table
-
You know what if you took out a loan or something. We're already paying off a bunch of loans I guy
-
I don't know what to do. All my life is over her life is over
-
Maybe not what you're not Gonna believe this
-
But I magically found this at the end of a rainbow and it's filled with money
-
And I really feel like you need it a lot more than me, so here
-
Are you serious? Take it, I'm sure it's enough to like pay for the surgery, food for a year, rent, your loans, whatever
-
You're serious. You're going to give this to me? Yeah, like whatever will make you happy man
-
Wow, I don't know what to say other than what the hell is your problem? what? how is this supposed to make me happier?
-
Okay, money does not buy happiness
-
No, that's supposed to be for your grandma's bills! I just told you how horrible my life is right now
-
And you're going to go bring me this? the root of all evil?
-
No, yeah, like I said, I'm a horrible person, If you didn't get that by now anyway, obviously. I exaggerated these examples a little bit
-
You know for the video my point remains the same hopefully you picked up on it. It's great to be inspired every once in a while
-
we all need that, but you can't live by these cheesy quotes that sound perfect or expect to follow them all the time and maybe I
-
Could be wrong
-
Maybe there are people that actually do live by them all the time
-
but I
-
Personally think that if you really think you're living your life perfectly you're lying to yourself because as nice as these things might sound nobody
-
Can live perfectly and everybody goes through highs and lows, you just have to be realistic. It's fine
-
If you don't live every single day like it's your last or to the fullest because you're not wasting your time sometimes people like to
-
Chill my last day would still be probably staying at home watching Netflix, and it might be a waste of time
-
But I enjoy it and no money does not buy true happiness, but must be realistic here
-
and I'll use this one as the example cuz it's the last one that you seen and it's you know that you just
-
Understand I actually find the realistic quotes. You know in response the cheesy ones to be more inspiring
-
There's that realistic meme that says you know money does not buy happiness
-
But I'd rather be crying in a ferrari with a million dollar home rather than living on the street
-
Yeah, it doesn't sound nice or inspirational
-
But at least it's true and to be honest that
-
actually inspired me more because it makes me appreciate what I'm fortunate enough to have if you actually have money and you live by the
-
Others saying money does not buy happiness you're taking for granted what you're fortunate enough to have like something that would actually bring a lot
-
Of happiness to other people who really need it right now
-
And I know this all might sound horrible and the opposite of what you want to say just trying to inspire someone
-
But you know I'm not trying to sound like a douche or a dick. I'm just being realistic. I'm being real this dick
-
Sorry, I really I'm starting to sound a dick, but you know what no
-
I think I'm just being honest in fact I am going to be the inspiring one right now
-
But in the honest way, I've been thinking for a while on that in order to be truly
-
Happy you do have to be a dick sometimes
-
Got to upset other people. I know from personal experience that if you're always trying to please others that defeats the whole purpose of life this
-
This is your life! sometimes it's okay to be a dick and be a little selfish in fact some of the happiest people are dicks
-
Think about it:
-
This is literally the best cake I've ever had. Seriously that was awesome
-
There's one last slice left so... Nah, you guys go ahead
-
No, no, no I already had a slice where should a minute to the birthday. I mean, I had the biggest slice I could impossible ticket
-
Well, Greg should have it, it's his birthday
-
I mean, I had the biggest slice, I couldn't possibly-
-
I'll take it!
-
Omg, this really is that good, this is my fourth slice already (eating)
-
You get the point to see sometimes you got to be a dick that could be the start of my realistic inspirational quote line
-
Thing right next to the money can buy you happiness mean in fact those two can go together money can't buy you happiness
-
Money is happiness because if you have money
-
Money makes you rich and rich is a short for Richard and as we all know the nickname for Richard is dick proving that in order
-
To have happiness sometimes you got to be a dick and piss people off because like I always quote starting today. They can't have happiness
-
without the penis hey
-
Okay, okay
-
I know I already have to add this part in. To all the people that I might have offended by
-
saying the word dick or penis too much at the end there and also now let me just go ahead and make things right and
-
just say
-
vagina yeah Gender equality
