World's Worst Motivational Speeches
I'd like to make a collection of world's worst motivational speeches. Real life, TV, or movies. Can you add to this collection?
Here's my nomination for World's Worst Motivational Speech.
Quintus Arrius to Judah Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston movie, now in its 50th anniversary year). Quintus Arrius, a Roman consul, the highest elected political office of the Roman Republic, addresses all the convicts who are chained to their oars in the bowels of the galley.
"Now listen to me, all of you. You are all condemned men..
We keep you alive to serve this ship. So row well, and live."
