We all know the great orators in modern history.

Speaker such as Churchill, Mandela, Martin Luther King, and many more.

Well now we can add one of our own to that exclusive list.

Cool.

Motivational speech

But if there is one thing sports movies have taught us, it is that training and natural talent alone does not propel the protagonist to a proper pummelling.

More often than not, it is the words of a distraught spouse, a vanquished rival, or hot-blooded coach that eventually opens the gates to victory.

Steven Lim might not have access to the 3 prior categories mentioned above, but that's not stopping him from giving himself the best motivational speech Singapore has ever seen.

Here it is.

INT: Steven Lim's house (probably)

There's a strange buzzing noise in the background, like someone getting their head shaved, or a very obnoxious bee.

Steven Lim (SL): *Breathes heavily for 20 seconds*

*Leans uncomfortably close to the mirror*

SL: STEVEN LIM!

*Pushes down on mirror by mistake, looks worried*

SL: Oh shoot.

*Regains composure*

SL: I know you don't have girlfriend at the moment... I want you to get a girlfriend now...soon!

*Steps back from the mirror, softly caresses face with non-camera holding hand*

SL: You're not that young anymore ok? it's time for you to get married!

*Dramatic pause, leans back towards the mirror*

SL: But first...I need you (himself) to win Sylvester Sim at the Asiaaaa Fighting Championship on the (Incoherent) of September 2017.

*Points at his mirror self*

SL: I need you to win! 頑張って! 頑張って!

*Heavy breathing again*

*Goes over to end video*

*Pushes back hair instead*

*Finally ends video*

*Wipes tears of motivation from my eye*
