A short motivational talk (YouTube video) that argues loving what you do drives success. The speaker uses Dr. Dre’s childhood dedication to music—falling asleep with headphones on—as an anecdote to show passion predicts persistence and eventual reward, and encourages listeners to let passion overcome obstacles.

Doctor Dre is so intense into hearing his sound that as a kid, he fell asleep with the headphones on his head. His mother said so I said, you know, it's appropriate that he can get a billion dollars. If you're gonna listen to music until you fall asleep with headphones on your head, I like to watch. God, you're passionate about something. It's going to happen for you. You know, life wants to weed out those who aren't serious. And you're very serious about you doing. I. I love what you do, man. For real. And you're very passionate. You're always energetic, so you're always going to succeed because you love what you do. And that's. Anybody in here that loves what they do. Obstacles don't stop you because you love it. Yeah. What. What. What obstacle? Oh, it's not working for me. What. What are you doing it for? Aren't you doing it because you love it? And that's how you succeed in life.
