Chances are even better that you know someone who hasn’t (hopefully you can check the mirror on this one).  But reality is that those who still stand are deathly afraid that the hammer will fall. The good news is this – the un-fired still outnumber the fired!  So how do you rally the troops when bad news is all around?

My answer? A really good YouTube clip. The creative folks at Overthinking It put together a two minute video which contains 40 of the big screen’s most inspirational movie speeches.  Said Matthew Belinkie about the video:

“So way back in April, I first had the idea of editing together inspirational speeches. Since then, the Dow has dropped 3,000 points and one million jobs have been lost. The people of the United States are now a ragtag bunch of scruffy underdogs, down by three touchdowns at halftime, with a whole horde of orcs waiting for us right outside those locker room doors. Inspiration has become something we need.” 

Way to go dude!  So get frickin’ fired up here people and enjoy the show. When your heart is racing and you’re ready to go to battle, apply that crusher attitude to something you care about.  Only after you’ve stopped foaming at the mouth will we try to keep the conversation going.
