The video is a critique of overused inspirational quotes and sayings. The speaker, who appears to be a young man, discusses how he doesn't find value in quotes that are too simplistic or cheesy. He criticizes quotes like "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land among the stars" and "You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince" as examples of quotes that he finds uninspiring and often overused.
The speaker also uses a variety of real-life scenarios to illustrate his points. For instance, he uses examples of people who have to make difficult decisions, like someone who can't afford a surgery for their grandmother, to highlight the limitations of inspirational quotes.
The speaker argues that while it's great to be inspired, one can't live by these cheesy quotes all the time. He believes that if you're always trying to please others, you're defeating the purpose of life. He suggests that sometimes, it's okay to be a little selfish and that some of the happiest people are those who are not afraid to be a bit of a "dick".
In the end, the speaker proposes a new realistic inspirational quote: "Money can't buy you happiness because money makes you rich and rich is short for Richard, and everyone knows the nickname for Richard is dick." He suggests that in order to have happiness, sometimes you have to be a little selfish and not always be concerned with pleasing others.
