The premise is alright, and having a well-made video like that handy would be useful. Unfortunately, the execution sucks; most of the platitudes are alright, but a few of them were very jarringly bad, and that ruined it for me. They also seem to presuppose that you're trying to psych yourself for a fight or competition of some sort (many of them make reference to a human opponent), which doesn't work to motivate me to, say, finish the programming I'm working on.
