'Matthew McConaugheys dream come true

 

    This video includes us Matthew McConaughey's speech as he won the Oscars back in 2014. Not only was his acting great, but his sense of humor and the way he expresses his thoughts are incredible as well. He started by involving the other nominees for their incredible work, such as Leonardo di Caprio and Christian bale, as well as thanking the director and his colleagues.  He states that there are three things that he needs daily: one is something to look up to, another is something to look forward to and lastly is someone to chase. Afterwards, McConaughey states that God is what looks up to and and says that he graced his life with amazing opportunities that were in no person's hand. In addition, he believes that because of God, gratitude reciprocates. He then quotes Charlie Laughton who said, "When you got God, you got a friend and that friend is you." 

    He thanked all his family members, his dad, siblings, wife and three children, and when the turn came to his mom, he added something incredible that she taught him. Which is to learn to respect yourself, and what he learned is then you are better at respecting others. This is what he looks forward to. As for who he chases, surprisingly, it's him. He believes that the person he chases and believes is his hero is him in 10 years. As soon as they pass, his hero changes to himself in the next 10 years, it keeps on going and that keeps him on chasing the best possible version of himself. It's always himself he's chasing. This is what makes a person keep striving for more and have the best mindset. 

    Matthew McConaughey kept the audience engaged in a fantastic way. The way he added personal stories with a charismatic twist shows his confidence and hard work deserving the award. He added something crucial to his speech, which is "Gratitude Reciprocates". Everyone should be grateful for everything that occurs in their life. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. It's God's plan, people shouldn't interfere with what God is planning for them. No one is perfect, every person will encounter difficult situations in life, it's how they handle them that differs from one person to the other. Be patient. God rewards the patient, optimistic and grateful people. 

    A successful person never gives up, keeps his eyes and mind on his goal, doesn't get distracted, and is constantly optimistic, no matter the situation.  McConaughey believes that everything is possible if you put in the effort. So, in order for me or anyone else to be successful, not only must we have a strong belief in God and ourselves, as well as gratitude for the things and people in our lives, but we must also work hard to achieve our goals and not wait for a miracle to happen. Even if things don't always go our way or we feel like we're failing at something, we must learn from our mistakes and keep trying. Continue to pursue our goals and be our own hero, as McConaughey said, and our dreams will come true, maybe even better than we imagined. We must believe that there are no limits to success and to keep improve day by day. Nothing miraculously happens, it takes hard work and dedication.
