STOP WASTING TIME ON YOUR CELLPHONE | New Motivational Video for Success & Study (Eye Opening Video)
Around 97% of students
are distracted by cell phones.
Are you a part of that 97%?
When you want to succeed
as bad as you want to breathe
then you’ll be successful.
Whether your distractions
are text messages
Checking emails
Surfing the web
Playing games
or scrolling through social media.
The fact remains that
it is a distraction.
I’m saying to you today
that there’s some of you
if you give up your cell phone,
you would be successful.
But your cell phone is more important
to you than your success.
Stop wasting time on your cell phone.
Facebook isn’t going anywhere.
Instagram will still be here
this weekend.
Focus on your dreams,
focus on your studies
focus on your goals and aspirations.
Put the thing down.
Look up! You’re missing stuff.
What is the long-term effect
of too much information?
We don’t know, but we’re finding out.
Focus on becoming a better you.
A better you that is not distracted
by unnecessary things.
You gotta cut off the cell phone.
You got it no TV.
There were those of you who were
watching the game last night.
You really didn’t have no business
watching these boys
win a national title
going to the NBA and making millions.
You didn’t have no business watching them.
Because you’re not where
you need to be.
One that is determined to
succeed and not scroll
that is determined to prosper
and not post
to grow all day and not game all day.
Stop wasting time on your cell phone.
And when you get to the point
where all you wanna do is be successful
as bad as you wanna breathe
then you’ll be successful.
It’s about you and your future.
It’s about your grades.
It’s about your dreams.
Ultimately, it’s about your life.
The time you spend on your cell phone
could be used for your success.
The time you could be using to be
successful, you’re using on the cell.
And the cell phone is not
bringing you nothing but a bill.
Is your life more important than that
app, then that game, that post?
I need cell phones off, listen to me
Some of you are gonna be broke
for the rest of your life
because that little thing
on up on the side.
You’re gonna be broke for the rest of
your life because of a little cell phone.
We’re so plugged into our cell phones
that we become blind
to the world around us.
Has somebody told you that
you couldn’t live without it?
We can’t take our eyes off the screen
long enough to see the beauty
of the world around us.
Let me break it down for you like this.
You are given 24 hours in one day.
Let’s be honest, you’re going to sleep
for about six to eight of those hours.
So that leaves you with about
16 to 18 hours left in your day.
Digital distraction, how many people
feel like your mind is so distracted
and you can’t focus on
just one thing anymore?
And the fact that you cannot put it away
is because you are addicted.
Right, if you wake up
and you check your phone
before you say good morning
to your girlfriend, boyfriend or spouse
you have an addiction.
And like all addiction in time
it’ll destroy relationships
it’ll cost time and it’ll cost money
and it’ll make your life worse.
You’re in class probably for
about 4 to 6 hours per day
That leaves you with about
10 to 12 hours left.
I get it.
You gotta eat a few times that day
you might have to get
a quick hour nap in.
Now you’re left with about
7 to 9 hours remaining in your day
And that’s on a good day that you’re
left with about 7 to 9 hours.
On other days you might
have even less time.
Don’t cry to give up, cry to keep going.
Don’t cry to quit.
You already in pain,
you already hurt
Get a reward from it.
You can accomplish so much
in seven hours.
You can type your mandatory paper
in school in less than seven hours.
You can study long enough to pass
an exam in less than seven hours.
There are so many things that you
can complete within seven hours
that remain in your day.
But for some reason you can’t
put down your cell phone
long enough to realize
you’ve had your cell phone all day.
Can you put it down?
Are you using it or is it using you?
And where is it leading you?
And I’m not telling you
“Oh, I’m against the establishment and all that”
I’m telling you at least ask yourself
What is the long-term effect
of too much information?
What is it doing to me?
Don’t miss what I’m telling you
stop wasting time on your cell phone.
I get it.
You’re gonna say “well I don’t spend
seven hours straight on my cell phone”
but watch this; you might check it
up to 60 times per day.
And each time you check it
you might only spend about
four minutes on it at a time.
Well, 60 times four is 240 minutes
which equals four hours.
So before you even realize
you may have spent four hours
on your cell phone throughout the day
simply checking it.
Be able at any moment
to sacrifice what you are
for what you will become.
Some of you- you focus until the phone rings
and then you’re like I gotta answer it,
if I don’t answer the phone I’m gonna die.
Now whether you’re checking
and responding to emails or texts
whether you’re surfing the web
whether you’re on social media
or even checking the weather and traffic.
The fact remains you have
just spent four hours doing so.
Then you go home,
away from work, away from school
and spend even longer
on your cell phone.
Now listen, I’m not saying that
you should never check your cell phone.
I’m not saying that
it’s bad to be on your phone.
But what I am saying is,
if you are on your phone
more than you are being productive
with your school or your business
that’s a problem.
It’s- a lot of people they give…
they give away
their sovereignty and their power
first thing in the morning.
Like the first thing in the morning
they’ll just, they’ll pick up their phone
and they’ll check everything, you know
because there’s- the way
it’s set up, right
They’re getting their,
their dopamine fixes
and it’s really rewiring their brain.
So it’s training them just to be
distracted all the time.
If you would rather check social media
more than school, that’s a problem.
If gossip is more important than grades,
that’s a problem.
If apps are more important than
your accomplishments, that’s a problem.
If Facebook is more important than
your future, that’s a problem.
Stop wasting time on your cellphone.
I need you to study like
you’ve never studied before
I need you up all night long studying.
Getting about 3-4 hours here,
hour and a half here, two hours here
You hear me say this all the time,
for some of you this is it.
There is nothing that is more important
than you achieving all of the things
you want to do in life.
And if you are being too distracted
by your cellphone
then you’ve got a problem.
I’m not here to sugarcoat it,
I’m not here to ask you nicely.
I’m here to tell you stop wasting time
on your cell phone.
So here’s what I want you to do
make a commitment to yourself right now.
Challenge yourself today.
That the same amount of time
you have been giving to your cell phone
will now be spent working on your dreams
your goals
your aspiration
your studies.
Push yourself to succeed just as much as
you push those buttons on your phone.
Then and only then,
will you be successful
in life and in school.
Is there a need for
24 hours a day news?
Is there 24 hours a day worth of news?
You have to give it everything you got.
No more TV, no more parties,
no more playing.
If you gonna have a 4.0,
what you need to be doing is studying.
Get off the phone.
