1. Get Motivated: 3 Motivational
Speeches That Will Change Your Life
What’s amazing about people is, despite the external forces at play on our constitution, we
can always be influenced by attitude. If your coworkers or managers can motivate you,
suddenly that hidden resource is tapped, and you’re ready to get up and go again with
renewed energy and focus.
Leaders can motivate and inspire through communications. Great leaders are charismatic and
articulate, and they use these attributes to rally the troops. You’ve probably heard or read
some of those famous speeches that have helped people at their lowest reach for the highest
aspirations.
The following is a collection of some of our favorite motivational speeches, chock-full of
inspirational words, sure to motivate you when you need it most.
Barack Obama, DNC Speech, 2004
Before Barack Obama became the first African-American President of the United States,
when he was little known outside the grassroots activist community in Chicago, he was given
a national platform as the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. He
acknowledged what everyone was likely thinking how surprising it was for him to be
addressing the audience at the convention. But he started by stating his roots, which were not
dissimilar from other Americans, who constitute, after all, a nation of immigrants. He infused
the audience, nation and even the world with a sense of hope for the future. After this speech,
he continued to connect with people and motivate them to elect him four years later to the
highest office in the land.
Jim Carrey, Commencement Address, Maharishi University, 2014
From the sublime to the ridiculous, even comic actors like Jim Carrey can find inspirational
words to motivate. At this point in his successful career, Carrey moved from celluloid buffoon
to philosophic guru. That change was first on display at this speech for the graduates of
Maharishi University in 2014. He told these future managers that they should never settle for
less than what they want. He illustrated this by talking about his father, who could have been
a comedian but chose the safe route of accounting—a job he eventually lost. That life lesson
wasn’t lost of Carrey, who saved the world from one more accountant.
Steve Jobs, Commencement Speech, Stanford, 2005
Commencements tend to bring out the motivational speeches, and who would expect any less
than the best from Apple CEO Steve Jobs. The man who inspired a company to become one
of the most successful in world history, and who motivated people to want his products with a
zealousness almost unheard of, was the go-to guy for rich insights. At this speech at Stanford

2. he tells three stories: the first is about dropping out of Reed College, which he said was the
best decision of his life. That lead to the creation of a company he loved and built up, only to
later get fired from. But that dismissal lead to Apple. Finally, he spoke of being diagnosed
with pancreatic cancer. These challenges, any of which could have sent another spiraling to
the depths of despair, taught him to become more resilient and fight harder for what he
wanted.
