About pep talks, mostly from people who hate them. It would probably be useful to get some counterbalancing detail from people who like them.
I think pep talks only work on me when I’m in a reasonable mood to begin with, and even then they can still backfire some of the time.
(I tried to find an appropriate Gurren Lagann clip to link to, but the copyright police are keeping them off of Youtube. Sorry!)
