A speech can play a powerful role in motivating someone. That motivation is different for everyone and largely depends one the speech. Look at Adolf Hitler, he motivated a whole nation to rise up against the world to eliminate the Jews. It's not a proud part of our history but his speeches changed the world.
Step, Step, Step.
Heavy breath fights to escape, but you must keep it under control if you are to win.
Step, Step, Step.
You have to pick up the pace to get your time.
Step, Step, Step.
The crowd roars as you approach the finish line, neck and neck.
Step, Step, Step.
You push for the finish as you round the last turn.
Step, Step, Step.
Now you let your breath run it's course to sprint for the finish.
Sometimes you need it,
Sometimes you don't.
But other times you need but you don't realize it,
And that's what friends are for.
That's sometimes the hardest,
To accept help from others.
