Some things have their genuine and important purposes in our human society (as opposed to the Animal Kingdom). In the Animal Kingdom, there's no need for Religions and Motivational Speeches.
Religions are around to keep our morals in check. When we're away from our home country, our moral standards drops. When there’re no religions, we've no moral standards.
Motivational Speeches are around to motivate us to do things that make ourselves better human beings, whatever that may be.
People like to ask Tiger Woods (or Roger Federal, or Michael Phelps,) what is the secret of his success, and motivational-speakers will always be on the trot to quote Tiger's answers.
What do you think will be Tiger's answer ? You're right if you surely didn’t think Tiger will say "The secret of my success ? I am much more talented than all of you professional golfers out there, and I am luckier than you.".
Tiger said "The secret of my success ? It is hard work and more hard work.". Tiger is being rhetorical. He can't jeopardize his public image and ruin his career by saying anything else and appeared cocky, can he ?
There're loads of professional golfers out there who train harder and work hard than Tiger but are struggling just to make a living. The reality is this : Tiger is simply just much more talented that all the rest of the professional golfers !
So, do we still want to listen to motivational-speakers ? Yes. In spite of all this, hard work is better than no hard work. We cannot 守株待兔. Religion is better than no religion.
