Northernlion Sisyphus speech

    Its a motivational speech by Notherlion while playing as Sisyphus and pushing a boulder. The speech changes from positive to negative depending on whether the boulder is going up or down. The clip has became a meme and was made into a copypasta by his fans.

    Lock in. Lock in. Get it twisted, if you can lock in you can do anything. Get it twisted, your actions impact nothing, your fate is predetermined, the only thing that you can change is your reaction to it. You can do anything you set your mind to, the world is a playground designed for YOU and only YOU to achieve your highest level ambitions. If you wait 90 minutes to wake up until you drink your first cup of coffee, nothing can stop you. GET IT TWISTED. YOU ARE A PAWN IN A UNIVERSE CHESS MATCH. YOU MEAN NOTHING TO GOD (IF THEY EVEN EXIST) YOU'RE A ROUNDING ERROR YOU ARE TWO PENNIES ON A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY'S BALANCE SHEET, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU IN THE SLIGHTEST. GET IT TWISTED. EVERYBODY GETS WHAT THEY DESERVE IN THIS LIFE, IF YOU PUT IN EFFORT, YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE BETTER PEOPLE. GET IT TWISTED. THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING YOUR BIRTH DETERMINE WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO GO, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS AT ALL. YOUR OWN LEVEL OF EDUCATION, YOUR ATTITUDE, YOUR LEVEL OF EFFORT, YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR NETWORK, YOUR BUSINESS, YOUR CREDENTIALS... MOTHERFUCKER!
