00:00Motivation is always external, therefore it cannot last long.
00:04But it gives immediate effects like steroids, so people feel attracted.
00:08You will feel enthused for one hour, yes I can do it.
00:11After one hour you will again say, there is no way I can do it.
00:15And now you know why those motivation videos get so many views.
00:19Because you have to return to them again and again.
00:22So one person has to watch them 200 times.
00:24The first time he watched it, worked for one hour.
00:26So again he has to go and again watch it.
00:28One more hour and he has to again return to that.
00:30That's how the views keep increasing.
00:32Think of it logically.
00:34If the motivation video actually did work, then it would have very few views.
00:39Because the fellow would watch it and never need to watch it again.
00:42If the video actually works, I will watch it once and that will cure my problem, right?
00:47And I will not need to watch it again.
00:49But you need to watch that thing every second day.
00:52Because it is an external thing.
00:54And it makes you addicted to external power.
