This is the most inspirational thing I've seen all year, no joke.

    That's why I knew I could say it without reservation. :)

I suppose if you use the term A-list more than like, hardly ever, and especially if you worry about not being "on the A-list", you have much bigger problems than how many hits a day your app/site/blog/whatever gets.

I don't know, I work pretty damn hard. At 3am I'm writing code. I've been getting less than five hours of sleep a night, and have had no free time. Then again I'm dedicated to my company.

  I'm in the same boat (in that I work my butt off), but I found it inspirational nonetheless. The primary message I took away wasn't really to "work harder." For me, it's a great reminder I can look at every now and then to remember that we all make our own destinies plus or minus the particulars of our own circumstances.

  Yeah, in an industry where working hard is so much the norm a lot of people will probably ask what those guys did the rest of the night. Everytime someone tries to reduce all the success to a single point he is wrong. I liked that one a lot more: http://www.vilceanu.net/wp-content/pics/_new/success_large.jpg http://www.vilceanu.net/wp-content/pics/_new/success_large.j...

This guy is wearing too much white - makes it hard for me to take him seriously.

  lol, I thought he was wearing some sort of baby suit at first glance. I do love his videos though.

Is this guy trained in telehypnosis? He's good at it.

I think the guy's got a valid point, although perhaps not related directly to the "quantity" of work that you do. The real message here is "Follow this rule if you want to succeed: Whenever you're about to complain about something you haven't acheived, do something productive towards achieving it".
