    "I don't listen, but when I do, I listen to Dr Paul." Dos Equis, anyone?

  4. cheetahprint100 says:

    but some people have mouths bigger than their ears :O

  5. egglot12 says:

    God told me that you talk too much.

  6. Julia Barton says:

    i got distracted and didn't listen to what he was saying . shows how great of a listener i am(:

  7. Denise hiknee says:

    This is terrible. Did you know that a survey of people listening to conversations, when the woman was talking the majority said she dominated the conversation even if the man talked more. This is the author of 'boomer girl's guide to men' and let him tell you how to listen. A man I know paraphrases what was said, so now a bad idea was stated twice. Doesn't help anything!

  8. NeverMind88888 says:

    You say we should think about using our ears more than our mouths…
    If everyone did this, we wouldn't have such a sociable world, now would we?

  9. edhusse says:

    that presidential example had nothing to do with listening lol

  10. BayushiGemma says:

    I took a girl to lunch and had to carry the conversation the whole time and what did I get for it? A watch look 45 minutes into our lunch, man it's tough listen when they don't say much.

  11. pitpony007 says:

    so you have told me that ihave two ears! and that its rude to look at me watch!!! thanks for nothing…..

  12. KingArlic says:

  13. Mary lee says:

    i still feel like shit lol

  14. SmileAlwayzz247 says:

    Such a great message. I loved how it said to keep on trying even if you fail you can get back up and try again then you WILL succeed.

  15. MZ Guy says:

    Thank you so much! It was really helpful :)

  16. Millie Warner says:

    Yes, all of the cartoon people were women but thats because the video wad supported by Always… A female health manufacturer. Its not saying that boys don't need confidence too 😒

  17. Soumen Chatterjee says:

    Or follow colonel sanders , larry ellison and Abraham Lincoln.

  18. Tiger 99 says:

    thanks this is confidence but how the fuck do you boost it u bitch

  19. Constantine C. says:

  20. Stoke Lee says:

    2:39 I wouldn't need tips on confidence if I could spin a basketball like that.

  21. Joey Chen says:

    the asian cartoon characters tho…. are my eyes really that small? (I am asian)

  22. Hoa Nguyen says:

    hhay

  23. Daniel Martin says:

    This only has girls through all the people in the video except for one man (sexist)

  24. Moahammed Merhi says:

    just a quick statement…the reason why this video uses girls as an example is because in our society, girls are the least confident and the most people who are set back. so i think that they deserve to be motivated a little bit more. However, it doesnt mean that guys cant use the tips shown :)

  25. wazzup437 says:

  29. SWØRDEXØRCIST says:

    Remember: It's not what happens, it' how you deal with what happens. Never second guess.

  30. IsiKat says:

    The practice failure part is true. In rollerblading everyone learned how to crash as one of the first things.

  31. Little Science Girl says:

    OMG THIS MAKES ME SOOOOOO INSPIERD
