hard work and practice and believing in yourself will get you there.

Inspire, support, even the best musician or athlete had to put one foot in front of another to learn to walk.

This video shows that whatever happens always follow your dreams no matter what.

This little kid has been trying to get better and better each day, but the people in it are just bringing him down. He will not let it get to him, and he will keep trying.

Anonymous, November 2, 2015

The child has practiced every day to improve the guitar, practiced day after day, but still sounds bad, even so, he knows that with time and persistence, improve and be a good musician im so happy for him FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS KID! :)))

This video motivates you to follow your dreams , your goals no matter what people will criticize or simply do not like , if you like , never give up .

NULL from NULL, July 8, 2015

We can either be the word or the criticism. We all need to learn how to work on how to stop & think before you, "striking our words." I think this commercial was awesome at directing it's audience and getting it point across.

NULL from NULL, April 24, 2015

Good!

Great motivation! Keep going :)

Es un video reflecto o que te motiva a seguir tus sueños, tus metas sin importar que la gente te critique o que simplemente no le guste, si a ti te gusta, nunca te rindas.

Landyn from Kansan, September 14, 2014

I was just vegging, watching METV, saw the 1St infomercial that ever inspired me to connect. Perusing excellence is a worthy ambition, run with it!

Donald Pugh from 95656, September 14, 2014

Saw Values.com for the first time while staying at a hotel in Williams, Arizona and wept. They are finominal. Thank you, thank you for all of your work...a great way to teach young and old the basics that our parents taught us but have gotten diluted in the last 40 years. Keep up the fantastic work. Hope to see them on TV daily.

Megan from Arizona, September 10, 2014

What strikes me is how much the young guitarist looks like Dale Earnhardt Sr. at that age...Another guy who never gave up.

John M from Ontario, Canada, January 28, 2014

As I once wrote in my autobiography: Somewhere around this time, I was plunkin' away on the thing in the living room, when my mother screamed at me to "get out of the house with that thing!" I ran myself out the front door swearing that I would never play guitar again...but instantly, I turned my attitude around and just as fast, I swore to myself that I would learn to play it and make something of myself with it. That was my first ever positive affirmation, and I didn't even know it. It's funny how far into the future a little negativity can propel you.

kenny lee norton from St Johns, Florida, January 9, 2014

i always tell my students you have to be bad to be good to be great !! and we've all been there

These spots, ALWAYS make me cry...

Thomas Berg from Seattle, October 14, 2013

This is so true, because i think people like Jimi Hendrix must have started somewhere before they got famous.

Dave Irvine from Kapolei,Hawaii, September 27, 2013

There is no achievement without error and shortcommings!!!!!!!!!!! Encouragement, especially directed to the young, is the most powerful tool to help them achieve.

Micky Pugh from New Iberia, La., August 30, 2013

Loved it. Great message. I was that boy, and I've gotten a little better!

Buc from Lockport NY, July 31, 2013

The boy's changing facial expression in reaction to the woman's praise is priceless.

Jay Stafford from Seattle, July 27, 2013

Taking up good virtues is the best thing .

Ian from Msa, July 27, 2013

Lifting kids up is so important. If they don't have encouragement from anyone then what road are they going to live in life. Encouragement goes a long ways with children

Rick Elliott from Newport News VA., July 12, 2013

My mother was my inspiration & teacher of values. She never had a credit card & said if you don't the money you don't need it. Never drove a car either but walked, took a bus or train. Said god gave you legs use them. Made me flash cards to learn math & we went to a library & always had books to read & I raised my kids the same way. Always will remember her. I also remember that we always ate before her but didn't think then because there wasn't enough food to go around so she always said she wasn't hungry. Never owed anyone anything, taught us to be respectful of others especially the elderly, be kind & nice. Really miss her alot as shes passed on a long long time. If it weren't for her I wouldn't know how to raise my children as she was always there for me & them & they never were in trouble, went to college which she never even graduated high school because she was working & shes the smartest person I've ever know. When it thundered she said the angels are bowling & to respect mother nature as she knows what shes doing.

Claire from Az, June 30, 2013

Great Commercial! Kids need to be encouraged to develop there talents, and this spot hits it in a very compelling and inspiring way.

Lon Gibby from Spokane, June 3, 2013

This is absolutely incredible. Bravo. For those of you who take it out on the girl, she is just playing the part of the critic, so slow down. It is only because there is criticism by her that the encouragement by the teacher after that comment makes sense and has value, which is the main point of the video. Encouragement.

Derian from Bakersfield, ca, June 3, 2013

I like so much this site,and í play guitar,uuuaauu!!!

Lucas from Jardim Ámerica, May 20, 2013

Wow. Seen you on tv on a commercial. So glad I saw it. What a wonderful site. !

Regina Hoelzeman from Morrilton Arkansas , May 4, 2013

I was really bad when started, but now I'm better. My big brother showed me the beauty of playing the guitar. :-)

Angela Wagner from Adrian,MI, April 26, 2013

I always believe.

tyson from lincoln nebraska, April 15, 2013

Very awesome, as well as very well-done, too. And if I was there, I would've given the girl a good telling off, and also told her, "I don't like the way you treat the students of today, like that kid there. And let me tell you something - that kid today might become the guitar player in a rock band in the future. You dig me, girl?" She would definitely look shocked there, while the guitar-playing kid and I exchange smiles and a thumbs-up. "Keep playing," I would tell him. "I like it." :) And the Bon Jovi song "We Weren’t Born to Follow" definitely fits this commercial very well, too. :)

Abigail from Beavercreek, Oregon, April 14, 2013

Never is late to learn!

Gorgi from Florida, April 6, 2013

Most excellent. We can all learn.

Christa from Durango, CO, March 31, 2013

That was not nice what Girl did to the boy playing with the guitar, but I love the video.

Connie Rodriguez from San Jose CA, February 1, 2013

That's exactly how I used to sound. Now, because I persisted...and still do, I shred. :=) Keep going no matter what!

Irwin Nobody from Canada, January 27, 2013

The kid reminds me of my son always determinded.

Austin Davies from Medford Wi, January 9, 2013

That would be how I sound:)

janice from sioux falls, January 6, 2013

This commercial reminds me of an event that took place at my youth group's Christmas party. A couple of weeks before the party, a girl in my youth group told our pastor that she wanted to play a song on the guitar for our group at the party. She said that she had practiced for many weeks to try to find the right song. When she did play,we could tell that she had practiced as hard as she could. But in the middle of of her song she said that she just couldn't do it and that she just wanted to give up. But our group encouraged her to keep playing, and by the time she ended her song, we all agreed that she sounded GREAT! I hope that she continues to practice so that someday, she'll feel really proud of herself.

Jen from Harpers Ferry, December 15, 2012

Anyone know how this awesome video/commercial can be shared or sent to those who might NEED to see it...?

RusL from La Puente, CA, December 10, 2012

Just watched it at FX! This video and Values.com rocks! We all start failing , but by practicing hard it takes us to success.

David Isales from Puerto Rico, December 2, 2012

It's saying keep on trying till you learn how to play the guitar! No matter what people think of you! You should go and live your dreams and not hold back!

jon from tx , November 28, 2012

I love the guitar I have one too and I am also trying too learn how to play it so that is very inspiring!

jon from tx, November 28, 2012

I think that every one that has a dream should continue what they want to do and try to make it better.

PERSEVERANCE Pays off...NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER!

G. from Florida, September 28, 2012

I just worry if all kids want to be rock stars and pop icons....but the core of this message is do your best and have faith when you are starting out on a new journey.

Greg from LA, September 27, 2012

Pretty simple.... LIVE YOUR DREAMS!

E.S. Kraay from Sonoran Desert, September 27, 2012

If you are being told that something you do is horrible keep trying to make it better. Never give up on what you want to do in your life. I learned that if I'm being treated bad to just keep trying. I also learned that I can start to treat others nicely.

christian from ajh, September 8, 2012

I feel that this was about never stop trying. Also to never give up on your dreams. To have courage in your self to not stop and to not let people judge you or put you down. To try your hardest in life. The point is just keep on going.

victor from ajh, September 8, 2012

This video was telling me that even though you may not like something you can still tell the person nicely.
