I am glad I never heard a motivational speaker. I find it a stupid profession just like life coaches. Made up professions fitting in a world where people are told they are big losers instead of complimenting them for what they are good at. Their succes is not because they are extraordinary, but because they are surrounded by those with low self esteem..
True.
They prey on the weak, and they pose to be the only lifeline for the helpless.
But in reality, they only make things worse with their words, and they push people to the extreme.
