A simple quote

by joe on August 29, 2007

There’s a quote that I’ve always kept close at hand for days when I can’t get motivated. It always makes me remember it’s my own fault if I don’t get things done.

Success is not spontaneous combustion. You have to set yourself on fire.

Success depends entirely on your attitude and ability to get motivated. Light your own fire. Here’s a match:

This is quite true, I once saw a very quite man grow from rugs to riches, and an able bodied one form riches to rugs, he thought the wealth would generate more, but we have to work for it, be motivated to generate more!!

I thought the message was good. I liked the music too. All in all it was good. :)

Brandon K December 4, 2007 at 11:55 am

I think this was kind of true and kind of not. Just beacuse you set goals that are reachable does not mean your going to be able to make really hard goal.

CourtneyS December 4, 2007 at 11:55 am

It gives the real definition of success. I like how it said how we have to work for our success.

AdamT December 4, 2007 at 11:58 am

This is a great movie. It is true that if you work hard you will be successful. You also have to be very motivated. It could use some different music though.

Danielle Hanna December 4, 2007 at 12:00 pm

This movie is about how if you set goals that are possible to reach you can be successful. It shows to keep trying for your goals, and being successful is a good thing. Also it shows to look at things in life in a more positive manner.

I really liked the movie. I really liked how they dicribed that your life can change at any time. And people dont believe that and spend everything and then lose it. Because they think nothing can happen. But with this movie they showed that anything is possible.

Kalie K December 4, 2007 at 12:00 pm

This was a very good movie. It shows that the only
way you can’t persue your goal is if you don’t
even have one

AaronR. December 4, 2007 at 12:01 pm

Some of the pictures were awesome, I’m a runner and seeing the pictures of people running really spoke to me. Running is about the feeling of success when you have finish the run and knowing you ran that. Again all about the attitude, the attitude when you’re running deterimines if you will be successful with meeting your goals set for that run

tricia g December 4, 2007 at 12:01 pm

We need to strive for what we want. We need to find our goals and work toward them. The road we choose will determine where we go.

KendraD December 4, 2007 at 12:01 pm

This movie is good for a person who is trying to succeed in their goals. It also helps you to know that even if you fail at something once if you try again you will eventually get it.

EthanH December 4, 2007 at 12:02 pm

This video was about goals. The hardest thing about goals is making one. If u make a realistic goal and it comes across your heart then pursue it. “Many things will come across the eye,but only pursue the ones that come across the heart.”I believe that believing in your self is important and to follow your dreams. Thats what I got from this video.

AshleyC December 4, 2007 at 12:03 pm

this was great movie. it really told you to work hard and try new thing.

AshleyP December 4, 2007 at 12:03 pm

I thought this movie was very neat. It had some really cute pictures of animals and stuff.. This movie shows to fallow your dreams and take risks. I like how it said live with passion and the wave n the picture. Also to persue your knowledge. I like this video I think i could learn some things through it.

Lauren R December 4, 2007 at 12:04 pm

I liked all the photos in this movie. They were cool how all the quotes and photos were related. Very inspirational. :)

AlecM December 4, 2007 at 12:04 pm

I liked the part were about that passion can be a forceful and powerful wave because you can achieve success that way. I also liked how there were different verses in the movie from books or people. There was nothing I disliked.

caleb December 4, 2007 at 12:05 pm

i think the definition of success is to et a goal and achieve it, and this move nas it!

KatieB December 4, 2007 at 12:06 pm

Watching this clip, I think of how if you really want something you’ve got to fight for it. The more you work towards something, the farther you are going to get in reaching the goal.

Chad December 4, 2007 at 12:06 pm

If you never set a goal you won’t ever achieve one. Maybe that’s why our team doesn’t win that much because we hardly ever set a goal for the game, or set it way too high.

Kelsey S. December 4, 2007 at 12:07 pm

This video had many different messages, but they all had to do with success. If you take risks in life, give it your all, and continue trying, then you can be successful.

reidk December 4, 2007 at 12:08 pm

its all about goals believe your goals making real goals.

Kyle W December 4, 2007 at 12:08 pm

This movie had some really nice looking pictures and some great quotes. Cool message about how you should appreciate life and all its times in between.

JoshuaC December 4, 2007 at 12:09 pm

It was pretty good, not my favorite one. I though that most of their quotes, or saying were pretty accurate.

PaulaV December 4, 2007 at 12:10 pm

This movie is really true because when the sun sets on your life…many of your dreams came true & you made a difference in your friends lives! And when many things can catch your eye, you should only keep the things that catch your heart.

CarlyM December 4, 2007 at 12:10 pm

The Nature of Success really shows what it takes to be successful in life. I believe that you do need to set goals, believe in them, and go after them to achieve anything in life. Life will bring up all situations but you need to be confident to succeed.

KendraDr. December 4, 2007 at 12:10 pm

The movie was a great influence. It showed that you should never give up, even if you don’t succeed. There are many solutions to your problem, even if you don’t know what they are.

AliV December 4, 2007 at 12:11 pm

the nature of success is clearly defined within this movie. You must keep on your focus, and set goals for yourself. If you do, then you will succeed in life

JohnG December 4, 2007 at 12:11 pm

I think that people shouldn’t think being rich was the only way of success.If people were to realize that we all have to work for the things we want.I hope the people that read this will learn from it.

Tracy T December 4, 2007 at 12:16 pm

In order to succeed in life you must set goals and accomplish them. In time things will come to you. On the way to accomplishing your goals take the most of what you had learned and received. Success isn’t all about money and fame, it’s about achieving goals you set out to accomplish.

NathanH December 4, 2007 at 12:17 pm

This is true because you have to work for what you want. Also you have to set goals to reach what you want.

JoeyA December 4, 2007 at 1:01 pm

Very true because in order to accomplish goals you need to be discipline. Otherwise you will never have motivation to reach it.

helen c December 4, 2007 at 1:11 pm

to be sucessful you have to find something you truly like to do cause if you don’t like something your not gonna want to do it, but make it realistic don’t set goals that you know you cant make for yourself.

VerHage December 4, 2007 at 1:13 pm

This one was the most inspirational of them all because of what it said. Also I like all the quotes in it.

Nick V December 4, 2007 at 1:16 pm

This was a very touching movie. I felt like I was going to break down and cry. It was very inspiring to watch. I enjoy all of the messages on this website it will help me live my life with better goals. I like it because it lets you know that life doesn’t give handouts and you need to work for everything.

Much Love

Nick

KaitlinM December 4, 2007 at 1:17 pm

You must set goals for yourself to succeed in life. You won’t go anywhere in life if you don’t have goals to work for.

AustinB December 4, 2007 at 1:18 pm

this movie is good for someone who needs motivation, because you need to take risks, imagine, and have goals even if you have to dream about them. because you may find the right road, but you need to choose to take it.

McKenzie M. December 4, 2007 at 1:21 pm

This movie was about success and how you have to work towards it. You have to set a goal for yourself and have different steps to accomplish that goal.

corey H December 4, 2007 at 1:21 pm

this one taught me about setting goals and how to reach them

Lindsey H December 4, 2007 at 1:22 pm

The movie The Nature of Success is very inspiring. It is true, many things may seem interesting but end up being not what you want. You need to set goals your heart wants to fufill.

ArielD December 4, 2007 at 1:22 pm

I think that this message is so true. And its also good to have a realistic goal. We should all have our mind set to change the world!

Nick H. December 4, 2007 at 1:23 pm

The movie shows that success is found only with hard work. There are no boundaries. It says to embrace in things you enjoy.

TaylorL December 4, 2007 at 1:24 pm

In this one it said we have to set smaller,realistic goals.If you set smaller more realistic goals you are more likely to reach them.Which will make you happier with yourself.

Ryan P December 4, 2007 at 1:24 pm

The meaning of life is not to destroy, but to enjoy. Just because you need something does not mean to do so at all costs.

Brittany D. December 4, 2007 at 1:25 pm

This movie is very inspirational…it shows how you can have so many things go wrong and right in your life…and that everyone needs a helping hand here and there.

JoryB December 4, 2007 at 1:25 pm

This movie has a great moral to it. Choice to do your best in life and you will be remembered later on down the road. Choosing success will also give you a better appreciation for yourself. If you take risks it will help you meet your goals in life.

jory r. December 4, 2007 at 1:25 pm

i loved the movie and the pictures were just magnificent and inspiring.

joe p December 4, 2007 at 1:26 pm

this movie had a real good message to and it showed to follow your dreams and that being rich isnt every thing

Cody V. December 4, 2007 at 1:27 pm

This is a good movie. This is telling you that we need to set goals in life, and we can’t be scared to fail.

Nicole B December 4, 2007 at 1:27 pm

I like this movie. It is very true because you have to work towards what you want, and try hard to get it.

Skylar H December 4, 2007 at 1:28 pm

I liked this video, it had many true quotes. Goals are key in life, w/o setting them you’ll never be satisfied, but once you reach your goal you can’t just stop you gotta keep going.
