A short YouTube talk by Eric Partaker arguing for the benefits of "thinking big" and harnessing ambition. The speaker (an entrepreneur and author) lists eight reasons to be ambitious — committing before you're ready, dreaming (illustrated with a Skype example), increased productivity, inspiring bold action, personal development via challenge, deeper life purpose (references Maslow's estimate that only 2% operate at full potential), taking massive action, and developing a strong work ethic — and closes with viewer calls-to-action and a free book offer.
