Our dreams are too small

Above is Nike’s Dream Crazy ad (2 minutes, 5 seconds); below is the comment I left for it on YouTube.

This is the best commercial I’ve ever seen. Perhaps the best video I’ve ever seen. It encourages us all to think bigger, dream bigger. It’s not just focused on sports, but on everything. It inspires us to do more, more than we think is possible. It encourages perfection. One of the things this video is saying, is, “Don’t try to be the President of the United States, be the best President ever.” It’s not an ad for Nike, it’s an ad for us.

*** p.s. After hearing more about Colin Kaepernick, I suggest you try to ignore who’s speaking in this ad to fully appreciate it.

A still from the video.
