There are no external factors like a reward or the risk of being fired. The drive behind your actions is coming from within. For most intrinsic goals we pursue them because they will enrich our lives or bring us closer to fulfillment. That makes these goals extremely sustainable long-term because they directly affect our quality of life and the things we care about. Chunking is the technique of breaking down a goal into smaller short-term targets.
By doing this you achieve multiple successes in your pursuit of the main goal. Traditionally, you may set a goal that you expect to achieve in one year. By chunking your goals into monthly or quarterly targets, you get the consistent positive reinforcement you need to stay motivated long-term. For example, instead of trying to lose 50 pounds in one year, try to lose 4 pounds every month for 12 months. Things happen along our journey that we can either adjust to or quit because of.
If you expect everything to go perfectly, the inevitable failure can make you disengaged and desireless. When you plan for things to go wrong, you make sure you can keep up for the long haul. Ad-libs Made Famous. Movie Quote Extravaganza.

What I mean is, I think the proportion of girls who see movies like Mighty Ducks versus the proportion of boys who see movies like, say, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is very different. Had the audience for Lord of the Rings been as gendered in either direction as Sex and the City, it could never have been the hit it was. The upshot seems to be that girls see guy movies, more than guys see girl movies.
I think it plays to a false divide and perhaps limits them from being as good as they can be, as movies. Attempting to be brief: I never had any intention of slamming the montage for this. I just saw it as a jumping off point and excellent gathering of evidence to overthink inspirational speeches in movies and gender. I only starting looking for suggestions of female speeches because that would tend to weaken my argument that they are disproportionately not there.
Love the piece. If you ever do one again, throw in something from the speech in Boondock Saints, the speech they give when they kill someone. Siwi — Thanks so much for your comment. I also think you touch on something very true, about the intersection between irony and earnestness.
After it was done, a guy asked me if the performance had been sincere or ironic, and I sort of shrugged at him. It really does hit this sort of weird sweet spot where I enjoy it simultaneously on two levels.
Let me try and use it. The disproportionate gender balance is an interesting issue. The mom in Mary Poppins pretty much just exists to give feminists a bad name. The Babylon 5 speech is indeed cool. Otherwise, there definitely would have been Buffy in there.
So people, what are the great inspirational movie quotes by women? IS there anything from T2 or Aliens? I actually watched G. The soundtrack is full of stirring, inspirational stuff like that.
I find it refreshing. And really, the lyrics are pretty tongue-in-cheek. The crazy feminists like her in the suffrage movements both in Europe and here helped drive the men in power holding back their right to vote over the edge.
The only improvement I have found would be to let the music complete or fade more gracefully at the end. Powerful — but just too short! These are awesome clips that because most are familiar leave me wanting about 20 seconds more of each one! It is interesting how some of these story lines become a part of our lives.
Nice compilation job. I liked how you built the story line clip by clip. But one of the rules I was trying to stick to is no actor appears more than once. And there was really no place for the flamethrower line. Also, points for using Street Fighter.
I would like to see a list of the movies these clips are from. I recognize plenty of then braveheart, newsies ; , etc. I really love the speech in Newsies! You say potato, I say potato. Can you? Thanks for sharing. Great stuff u got there guys!! I still love to watch it till todays. Thanks again for the Inspirational Speeches. I heart Jimmy Stewart and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. For fun I subtitle vids for the Deaf and Hard of hearing.
Can I use the transcript to subtitle your vid? Would like to give it a try please. That was great. Should have been way longer and it needed the Paul Newman Slpashot speech as as well as a speech from Mick in Rocky. Can you dig it? Caaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn yooooooooouuuuuuuuuu diiiiiiiiiiggggggggggg iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt?
This is way cool and so freaking creative!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. I do believe your inspirational objective was achieved. Awesome Job!!! Happy Holidays to everyone. Matthew- this is unbelievable. I think the reason this works so effectively, and why such speeches in movies work in general, is because they ARE so silly; so bombastic.
The kind of movies whose speeches are collected in this seconds of joy here celebrate the latter while condemning the former, in some plot related way. He stood and fought, even when hopelessly outnumbered, and never gave up. And so on. From a basic standpoint, women buying shoes is something that is really only interesting to women. Everyone, man or woman, can relate to needing redemption, to being an underdog, to wanting just one more shot, etc.
I think earony is absolutely a perfect term for it. So thanks for that as well. I feel pathetic. We see the sails of the enemy approaching. We hear the Spanish guns over the water. Soon now, we will meet them face-to-face. I am resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die amongst you all. While we stand together no invader shall pass.
Let them come with the armies of Hell; they will not pass! And when this day of battle is ended, we meet again in heaven or on the field of victory. Is the movie good? Hey Paul or any of you , do you know where to find the full speeches in Audio or on clips?
Thanks so much for making this video montage sp? Wanted my friends and family to be movitated too. What an awesome compilation! At first I sort of smirked at the over-the-top cheesiness of the Big Speeches, but by the end, I was truly moved.
Matt Belinkie, you rock! Even the lesser movies represented here are exciting to see. This should be an Oscar show clip montage. This is perfect! You did an exceptional job and the overall message is great. Appropriate credit would be given to you, Overthinkingit. I would really appreciate any feedback you could provide. Wow, as soon as the footage for Free Willy and the Goonies came up on there I laughed out loud for nearly 2 minutes straight! Great Job! Hi, I want to use in my prensentation.
I need to download it. Please help!!! How can I download? I would love a list of the movies as well and the name of the soundtrack pieces. Great compilation.
EPIC but whats that weird flying dog thing betweem superman and the football player? Click here to cancel reply. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter So way back in April, I first had the idea of editing together inspirational speeches. Some behind-the-scenes notes for editing nerds only. Obviously, there was some fudging to get it all in one aspect ratio. Some clips were , so I had to blow them up to fill a frame. Other clips were 2. The music sort of picked itself.
So I got those mp3s, synced them up with those two clips, and then dragged the audio out to underscore the entire piece. Stokes, who suggested that I use longer clips at the beginning.
At the time I had even more movies packed in there, with more cuts. But Jordan is usually right, and it definitely works better with more of a build. My favorite cut: Chaplin as a Hitler-esque dictator, to George C. Scott as Patton. Not an accident. My favorite speech? Animal House , actually. But by jingo, it works. I have a list of what i think are the movies you used.
Still missing a few. Can you fill them in? Mlawski says it better, as I would expect. I mostly just wanted to make an inspirational speech : Siwi: I love that you said that OTI is where irony and earnestness collide. I love that you threw Swingers in there. Fenzel: Ivonovah is probably my favorite character in the series.
Linked from Lifehacker. Hello, Amazing job! Thanks, Subtitleman. And leave my ass out of this. Very well done. I do wish that Warriors would have gotten in there. Thanks again and thanks for the first free sample of my newest addiction to OTI.
Ben — Living on a Prayer definitely invokes strong earony. Great example! Whats the name of that song that plays through the whole thing? I need it. Way cool!
