  1. This motivational video sends the message that with whatever you have, you should be proud and happy. Not everyone around the world has access to the things that we have- a great house, great family, great school, great lifestyle, everything. Everyone has to have their human rights.

  4. This video shows us that you should believe in yourself, and you have so much in this world, you shouldn't take it for granted, you should use what you have to the fullest. You should be appreciative and thankful and always looks at things through a positive attitude. Always look at the upside and never look at the downside.

  5. It doesn't matter who is watching you, be your self. You should be grateful for everything that you have, because others might give anything to have what you do.

  6. This video is about not worrying about what other people think of you and just be yourself! Also, it means that you need to believe in yourself to try harder, if you don't push urself to be better, you won't be better. You need to always think positive, not negative.

  7. What this video is really about is that you should always acknowledge and love whatever is given throughout your life. Even if you don't get everything that you have ever wanted, you should be grateful that you have earned helpful things. Life has an abundance of
    wonderful things and we have the chance to use them to let us be very wealthy and healthy.

  8. I think this video is really about thinking about the positives in life and to be thankful for what you have. You should always see on the bright side of things because thinking positive makes it easier to get the job done. You shout be grateful for what you have because some people are not as fortunate as you are.

  9. I think the girl in the video might have symbolized her house as her life because she was talking about cousins, aunts, grandparents,etc. So she might have been trying to say she loves her life, or she could have ment that we are lucky that we have relatives because some people don't have relatives, so she might have been trying to teach us to be lucky and happy with what we have because not everyone has it.

  10. I think this video is trying to send the message that being appreciative and loving who you are and what you have makes you realize just how much good things are in your life. And loving yourself also helps you realize your own potential to be or do anything.

  11. +1 for all who contributed. - However 'all claims were at level 3. To reach level 4 you needed to sound like words of wisdom.
    e.g. A strong positive self-image is the best preparation for a successful life.
