You have a kid who wants to be a success?

Holy crap! This dude hits the nail on the head! 14 minutes may seem long, but I'm telling you.... he lays it out that it takes more than intelligence or money or parents that provide everything you need to be a success in life and it most certainly isn't going to fall in your lap.

Parents... do you have young adults still sitting on your couch wondering when their ship will come in? Do you still have kids in middle or high school? MAKE them watch this video... right to the very end. Awesome.

I can't see it either. can you re-enact it with similes? Never mind, we want them to succeed, but they just want to play Xbox and sleep.

Awww.... they will look so cute in their 40s still sitting on your couch. Be sure to take pictures now and then through the years so you could scrapbook it and see how much they've changed...

I would venture to say he is a T.D. Jakes fan who I think is one of the best motivational speakers out there. I saw the video sometime back and just don’t understand why they have that annoying background music in the back. It really takes away from the message.

Probably to keep the kids awake... one of my daughter's teachers showed this to the class today... I'm sure though it might have hit home with some... there were plenty who just wanted to check their cell phone or get home and play XBOX...

Sharing this on my FB page right now - for some of my younger family and their friends to see, although, I think it's great for anyone!
