Puts those "excuses" into perspective. I'm glad I took a minute to watch it. What a motivational, inspirational commercial. Puts those “excuses” into perspective.

I shared this with him, and he stopped complaining about his staffs' excuses. He said that he was making excuses, too, and needed to take action. At the same time, I realized that I am not 100% vested in my success, that I make excuses every day. This was a wonderful reminder that I can push myself further. Thank you for the reminder.

I sit in a cubicle in corporate America everday seeing my dreams die in my imagination and I come up with excuse after excuse why I have quit and followed my passion. That was the best commercial I have ever seen! Just like the above guy said, I have heard people use those excuses but it hurts more to hear the ones I use and try to defend. Powerful stuff.

How real was that!!!! The sad part is, there weren't many I hadn't heard - - and the sadder part, there were some I had even used myself. Somehow though, when I used them I didn't think they sounded like excuses. Boy was I wrong! WOW ! ! How real was that!!!!
