“On this team we tell ourselves and everyone else around us to piss us for that inch. We crawl on our fingernails for that inch!”

I think it’s…

“On this team we *tear* ourselves and everyone else around us to *pieces* for that inch. We *claw* with out fingernails for that inch.”

Or at least that’s what I heard. Cheers!

Hey Jake,

I had watched the video again and it seems like he said “piss us”. Not really sure why.

Cheers,
Vincent

Vincent,

That speach is one of my all time favorites! “When you get old in life things get taken away from you” line really hits a chord. Warns you to appreciate the present and live every moment to the fullist.

Great write up!!! Third Abstract typo “tear ourselves to piss”? lol, may want to fix that

Keep the quotes coming!

-Jake

@Jean

Hard work definitely beats talent when talent does not work hard to move forward. This is what I believe too. I hope everyone reading this article will always remind themselves to work hard and move forward everyday no matter how talented you are. Talent does help us to move forward quickly but it is not enough to help us complete the whole journey.

Cheers,
Vincent

Any given Sunday is a pretty good movie; this speech pretty much makes it! Its power in those inches, those small steps you take to change your life! I loved how you broke it down into pieces and gave your own take on it. It takes commitment and perseverance to crawl your way through and improve inch by inch. You are not going to get anywhere overnight!Sure you can have talent, but as they say Hard Work Beats Talent When Talent Doesn’t Work Hard

Till then,

Jean

Love that scene. Pacino is well known for his 5 minute tirades at the end of his movies.

If you liked this one, checkout “Scent of a Woman” and “Devil’s Advocate”. Awesome stuff!
