Motivational Speeches

Today a few teachers gave some speeches (or rather played videos of people doing so) about being motivated to succeed in High School, emphasizing how important it is for us in order to secure ourselves a good future and blah blah blah.
I know it reaches a few of the slackers, but most people seemed to ignore the message. I'm a slacker, but I ignored it.
Point of this thread is to ask you all:
Do you let motivational speeches/ lectures affect you in any way? Do they convince you to try harder?

My answer is obviously no, but I'm curious.

[quote=PinnacleWalk]no one does them and they aren't really useful for acceptance.. you aren't expected to do them also. i know good universities in america looks at your course load and you pretty much have to take AP..

not to mention, we don't have SAT.[/quote]

No one does what?

[quote=PinnacleWalk]Move to Canada. It's so much easier to do well in highschool. No need to take AP and crap.[/quote]

University level courses are the equivalent of an AP class in america content wise. Except you don't get credits in university which is why there is less course load and why it seems like highschool in canada is easier.
