One of, if not, the most famous personalities on YouTube, Casey Neistat is a greatly successful and motivational person. Known for giving motivational speeches as well, let’s have a look into the top ten motivational quotes by Casey Neistat.
10. “The biggest risk is to take no risk at all.”
If you take no risks you won’t get any rewards or the rewards will be so small they are insignificant. So it’s better to believe in yourself and take the risks and work hard for the rewards they can bring. If you fail, there with always be another risk, or opportunity, around the corner for you to take up.
9. “Every time I took these bigger risks, the opportunity for a bigger payout was always there.”
Again Casey is noted the importance of taking risks in your life to allow you to reach your goals and aspirations. Even if you fail, there will always be another opportunity you can take the risk on and potentially reap the rewards. Eventually if you work hard and are persistent your goals and aspirations will be realised.
8. “Free time is the enemy of progress.”
If you have too much free time, there will be less time to focus on achieving your goals. A little free time is beneficial to unwind and relax, but too much can lead to no focus or progress towards a fulfilling life.
7. “A shared life is a great life.”
Humans are social beings for the most part, the majority of people will benefit from sharing their lives with others. Whether relationships with partners, friends or family, it is beneficial to share your life so that all parties lives will be improved.
6. “Without a goal you can’t score.”
You need to set goals otherwise you won’t have anything to work towards, and you will float through life like a jellyfish in the ocean. You need to set out SMART (Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Timely) as well as setting out steps and milestones for you focus on along the way.
5. “Always the stairs, never the escalator.”
Here Casey is saying to always take the stairs, both literally and figuratively. Taking the escalator is the easy path, whereas taking the stairs will make you faster, stronger and smarter. Don’t be lazy, take the stairs.
4. “Work harder.”
Simple quote from Casey here, and it makes sense as the hardest workers are generally very successful. No matter what you put your mind to, if you work hard you will achieve some level of success. Also has taken the liberty of getting this quote tattooed on his left wrist to always remind him to work harder.
3. “Being nice takes work. That’s why I really like people who are nice.”
It takes a lot of work to be nice, it’s easy to deride and disregards other people’s work and aspirations. Someone is nice will work hard to understand others’ viewpoints and empathise with them. Casey is saying that nice people put the effort in and work hard and therefore he will want to associate himself with them.
2. “Some day I won’t be able to do this. The right time is now.”
If the opportunity arises for us to achieve our goals or move us closer to them then we should take that opportunity then and there. We won’t always be in the best physical or mental condition, or the opportunity may never come again. Take the opportunity when it’s available.
1. “Do more.”
Another of his many tattoos Casey has gotten on his body, is to remind himself to always be doing more to achieve his goals. I think everyone should be following this advice and doing more to achieve their goals, instead of wasting time.
