    2. DeAndre you never explained how this video inspired you. You have to give details about why it didnt inspire you. Didnt it give you that tiny inspriation, dont you feel that effectivness. This kid is trying to make our world a better place. So you dont think that perseverance is importent. How about Motivation (question mark)

  5. This video is inspirational to me. One thing is that this is from a little kid perspective. The children is the world, they are the future, its actually inspirational to hear this from a kid voices so that way you know how the child feels in this world, and how we can make this better place for our future. This kid is trying to tell us viewers that this world is boring. We should be ourselves and to keep moving on with our lives. We should have perseverance and a motivation to go on with our lives. Who ever thought that a message from one kid can inspire others :)

  7. yes this video inspired me
    the little boy said many things that made my laugh and also made me understand more.Did micheal jordan ? no and what if he did, he wouldn't have become an amazing basket ball player, made his own shoe brand or have been in a movie. And you shouldn't quit on your dream either

    just like journey said " don't stop believing unless your dream is stupid" :)

  8. This video inspires me a lot . I cant just sit around and except my dream to come true its my time to shine ! to take the extra mile and get my dream back ! This little kid was just talking but he was so inspiring he was adorable and made me want to listen and as i did i learned we all have a dream and we have to work for it and if we don't try will never know what cloud have been . I am inspired to work harder and stop asking questions like what if ! I am inspired to be the best. If life is a game i have to play my best , try my best , and win feeling proud of myself

    1. He is adorable and he catches everybody's attention quickly. We understand what kid president is trying to tell us, we understand the moral of the story. But did it really make you feel like you wanted to do something? Did it make you want to work harder and stop asking questions ^^ ? Are you really inspired? Do you think he looked serious about what he was saying? The dancing and joking around sure proved how serious he was. I know that he is just a kid, and to motivate kids, he should be funny in his Pep Talks so kids would listen to him, though its not something that I would be motivated by.

  9. Did this video inspire me? Not really, yes "kid president" is adorable. But he is hard to actually take seriously. I get the message, I really do. I think if "kid president" was a little more serious, I would feel motivated and inspired. If I was to visually see that he was actually serious, then maybe my thoughts would have change. The actual moral of the video is good. Its just hard to take when you laugh. I mean, he started to dance. I like the moral, just not the effectiveness.

    1. That's the point, every time an adult tries to tell us something like that we alwys say we listen but we never take it in because it's an adult talking. But kid president got to me and should have gotten to you the same way, or atleast some way.

    2. I Agree with Gitie On this one. He has to be serious when talking about taking actions and achieving your goals. He didn't seem serious. Sure it was cute and the moral was good and understandable, but he needs to be confident about what he is talking about and trying to persuade and motivate people about.

    1. Why do you think they used a child to represent their video?

      Delete
  11. No, I didn't find this video inspiring at all. I think this because the kid was making jokes and you can't be motivational with laughter and jokes, that's not a pep talk

    1. This is a kid we are talking about. He trying to get the audience attention. Like i mean, would you listen to someone talking for over 10 minutes about changing the world without any interest. (question mark not working)

  12. This is a great pep talk and it gives a lot of motivation ,if you are not good at something then just practice till you get the hang of it.So many opportunities in the world its not boring.

  13. yes, i think that this video has inspired me because this video tells us to don't sit around waste time get outside follow you dream and proper dream and never give up in live until the end keep working hard and believe yourself because when you believe in yourself nothing can stop you."remember leadership is action not position".such as the kid said about micheal Jordan what if he had given up in high school when he didn't make the team.but he bileved in himself and succeeded and i tell you the same thing never give u in life till the last momont.

  14. To me this video was totally inspirational to me. I really liked the way they used a child to represent their video. I think a kid can motivate and convince people more than anyone. I also like the meaning of this video saying never to shatter your dreams, there is a world you are part of and go with the flow. This kid as well gave an example of Michel Jordan not giving up and made his own team. It was also said by the kid that if Michel Jordan gave up in his dreams he would not have been so famous today and people would not have known his talent. Basically this means always follow your dreams rather than giving up.

  15. Yes this video was inspirational to me because it showed me how life has is ups and downs and that I got to work hard just to get through it. It inspired me to go for what I want and that I shouldn't let life knock me down if I failed at it. Yes it's going to be hard but once I made it through that, I could look back at all the times I failed and say: "I got back up and I accomplish." Like the kid said: "You should always chase after your dream, unless your dream is stupid." (Something like that.)

  16. I found this video not so inspiring to me. Kid president is simply adorable, determined, and funny. I love the way that he is so comfortable and passionate about leadership and teamwork skills. But does he show it? He is a 9 year old child. He can say whatever he believes in or dreams in. We all say we can do things, but when it actually comes to the part of doing something, nobody does it. Everything is easier said than done. This video made me smile and I felt good after seeing the video. It was a great message and I completely understood what he is trying to say. But one thing for sure is that he wasn't very serious about what he is saying.

    Just like how we all say we want to end poverty, we want to help fund raise for the children who have cancer, we want to stop global warming, and end world hunger. " We are the change!" is what people say. We have solutions for many of these predicament situations. Those are big goals to achieve and accomplish. Although when it comes to taking action, it is a complex and hard situation to deal with for many people.

    Point is, he touched my heart to think that such a small child is so determined to stand up and not be boring. I agree that we should be awesome just like he says and live life to its fullest, but he is still a little dreamer with big words. Not everyone can think positive about everything. Life has it's ups and downs, you can't be happy and always think everything will work out the way you plan it to be. Everyone has dreams, and it won't just come to you. You have to work hard and work your way to your dream. When he says " Don't stop believing unless your dream is stupid," how would you know that your dream is stupid? You can't ask somebody if your dream is stupid or not because it's your dream, it's what you want to do. No dream is stupid. You can't ask other people for their opinions because then your dream wouldn't be a dream anymore. People put other people down when they want to do something that sounds odd to them. I understand his message, though if he was a bit more serious with this, it would have inspired and motivated me more than it did now.
