What is Your Excuse?

by buildingpharmabrands

Warhawk Matt Scott (born March 27, 1985), is an American wheelchair basketball p
layer. He was on the gold medal winning team and was also nominated as the Best
Male Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award at the 2007 Parapan American Games in
Brazil. He has Spina bifida and competed in the Summer Paralympics in 2004 and 2
008. He was the first Paralympian to star in a Nike Inc. advertisement.

Matt Scotts No Excuses Nike Commercial is incredibly inspiring and motivating. Its
a tangible example of the countless reasons we come up with to stop us from doi
ng what we could be doing. And it ends brilliantly showing that excuses are just
thatexcuses.

Here is the transcript of Warhawk Matt Scott in Nikes No Excuses commercial:

Im too beat. Im too slow. Too big. I ate too much for breakfast. I got a headache.
Its raining. My dog is sick. I cant right now. Im not inspired. It makes me smell
bad. Im allergic too stuff. Im fat. Im thin. Its too hot. Im not right. Ive got shin s
plits. A headache. Im distracted. Im exerting myself too much. Id love to really bu
t I cant, I just cant. My favorite show is on. Ive got a case of the Mondays. The T
uesdays. The Wednesdays. I dont want to do this; I want to do something else. Aft
er new years. Next week. I might make a mistake. I got homework and I feel bloat
ed. I have gas. I got a hot date. My coach hates me.My mom wont let me. I bruise
easily. Its too dark. Its too cold. My blister hurts. This is dangerous. Ahhh sorr
y, I dont have a bike. I didnt get enough sleep. My tummy hurts. Its not in my gene
s. I dont want to look all tired out. I need a better coach. I dont like getting t
ackled. I have a stomach ache. Im not the athletic type. I dont want to get sweaty
. I have better things to do. I dont want to slow you down. Do I have to do this?
As soon as I get a promotion. I think Ill sit this one out. Man, my feet hurt.

( Matt slams two basket balls on the court as the screen pans out and watches Ma
tt move away from the basketballs using a wheelchair.)

What is your excuse?

Take a moment and reflect on your life. On a daily basis, how many times do you
spew out lame excuses for not getting up, getting out and doing something? How m
any times have we given ourselves an excuse for not doing something that we shou
ld do or could do? Remember what Alexander Pope said a long time ago: An excuse
is worse than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded.

Quit making excuses: putting it off, complaining about it, dreaming about it, wh
ining about it, crying about it, believing you cant, worrying until you are older
, skinnier, richer, braver, or all around better. Just Do It.

The secret to realising your potential? To uncommon success? To happiness?

Offer no excuses! Accept no excuses!
