I generally can't stand motivational videos. I find the cliched format and the overt attempt to draw at my heartstrings insulting. In some respects, this video is no exception. The music is cheesy. Really cheesy. In fact, the whole set up is a little hokey. However, I did watch it, I was moved, and even a little *gasp* motivated. Yes, that's right. A maudlin little motivational video actually motivated me.
Way to go, Arthur. You (and your video) are pretty bad ass.
