Rock Lee - Believe in Yourself! 

This is where everyone who has felt like a loser cried

Dad : why r yr eyes red Me : I smoked weed Dad: dont lie u watched Lee story again

ROCK LEE is not a character , he is a LESSON.

“ All efforts are useless ….. if you dont belive in yourself.” hits hard

Every “loser” just needed a good mentor

"If you didn't have a father like Gai sensei, be a father like Gai sensei"

He’ll always be my FAV!💪🏾😭

Might Guy was the greatest thing to happen to Rock Lee, 99.99% people can't do it alone, sometimes you just need somebody to believe in you, somebody to tell you that you can do it even when a million people says you can't.

As a man, I'm not ashamed to say this made me cry.

“You’re right, all the effort is pointless. If you don’t believe in yourself.” The weight of these words are heavy asf.

I could write a thesis on why Naruto and other shonen anime/manga is great for male childhood development. This here is a clear example why.

Old Naruto used to know how to really make anyone tear up and cry

Lee made me cry at 13, now at 27 it still does. Naruto is a master piece.

watched this almost daily when applying for uni exams, i got in. 5 years later watching it to land my first job.

It's crazy how someone who doesn't even exist can give me so much motivation

- Bruce Lee -“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”

I’m sure everyone felt like Rock Lee at one point

This hits different when you once had suicidal thoughts and didn't like the cards life has given you

Rock lee has to be in everyone’s top 5 naruto character

Lee, the one who should have been the protagonist of Naruto because he exemplifies hard work beats talent message of the show.

"sometimes it seems the whole thing is pointless, like I am a loser, and I will always be a loser" dat feels though 😢😫

maturity is when you realise Rock lee is real motivation

Thats what most people dont get, hardwork is a form of genius too.

"Nothing keeping him up but sheer willpower"-that gave me chills

Lee😭 why didn't he got enough screentime in shippuden...

"Sometimes I feel like the whole thing is pointless... like I am a loser and I will always be a loser." That part gets me everytime. 😢

i can relate to naruto but when it comes to rock lee he is my spirit character

Its ironic that Rock Lee not being the main character, actually keeps the advice the show is trying to give all along. While Naruto and Sasuke kept getting power ups Lee was the only character who worked hard despite having no real talents.

Guy: “You Know lee you are a lot alike you and I....” Lee: “You mean the eyebrows?”

"Hardwork can never surpass true genius"........"Lee, you are a genius of hardwork"

Might Guy: “I was a loser too once” Lmfao he roasted rock lee and motivated him at the same time.

"If I cant do 1000 pushups I have to do 2000 punches" Lee: Does 999 pushups and gives up so he HAS to do the punches lol

All those lame background characters in the beginning making fun of Lee, are either dead or are nobodies.

Rock lee didn't get enough screen time and I wish he remained one of the ultimate power houses in the show. He's what naruto is all about. Working hard and never giving up.

From elementary through high school I was always told that since I have a learning disability, I can’t do most things that kids and regular and honor classes can do. I’ve always been taken lightly in sports And any competitions. Finally I thought, enough was enough. I grew tired of people putting me down because of what the school labeled me as. Starting freshman year of high school I study I worked hard after school I did as much homework as I could I fought the school system to put me in honors classes for 5 years and still didn’t give me what I deserved! By graduation they were passing out rewards. I have one first and second Greatest of all boys sports in my school! I ended with a 3.9 GPA and The highest record of a GPA of kid with a Disability is 3.5, so I feel like I already exceeded my expectations. When I walked up on the stage with all those rewards. Everybody looked at me with shock, it was at that moment when everybody wanted to finally be my friend and apologize for the things I have done and said to me, but I ignored them and kept moving forward. Now I’m in college about to be a businessman and a fire fighter. My biggest goal is to show the world that even with a disability you deserve a spot on The throne!

The lesson that I learned from him is “hard work can beat talent"

Madis Mark Rock Lee's story is the ONE that inspired me the most to turn out from the sad nerd who could not even win one competition in his life to the Programming Genius (Hard Worker) who never had any talent and won Bournemouth's IT Olympics a College and then pursued University where I built an application with password encryption! This anime is what made me follow my dream of working and one day becoming a CEO for one of Google's companies and one day I WILL make it! I find myself in Rock Lee, the untalented loser who climbed up from the very bottom where losing was on a daily basis and now competes on equal footing with Ingenious IT programmers around UK. So I thank Rock Lee, as well as Naruto, for transforming me into the person I am today! Arigato!!! :)

My dad still can't believe how Naruto has taught me more life lessons than my teachers 😂

Although Gaara won the fight, but Lee won our hearts.

Let's have a silence moment for guy sensei too. He was a father figure that kept pushing Lee and carving the growing twists on his ninja road

Rock Lee's speech about feeling scared that he will never progress and "always be a loser" breaks my heart every time. It's so real, and even though it's a dub Brian Donovan's performance is unmatched in that scene, with the voice cracks and stutters. it's so good.

Gai breaking into tears at the end always gets me. Especially "Lee...What have I done?" You've given him hope, man! You did nothing wrong! 😭

Who is cutting onions bruh........Rock lee is amazing

Iruka taught me... not to judge people by their reputations but by their personalities. Haku taught me... that there is no good or evil when you're protecting the ones you love. Neji taught me... that if you leave your pride behind you can change your destiny. Rock Lee taught me... that hard work beats talent. Kakashi taught me... that teamwork and friendship stand above the rules. Hinata taught me... that love is worth fighting for. Sai taught me... that a life without feeling isn't worthwhile. Sakura taught me... that weakness is a choice, not an excuse. Gaara taught me... how painful loneliness can be and how love can change someone. Nagato taught me... that revenge and hatred only lead to more revenge and hatred. Asuma taught me... how important it is to take care of the next generation. Shikamaru taught me... that sometimes you even have to do the things that bother you the most. Might Gai taught me... that it doesn't matter what other people say about you. Minato and kushina taught me... that parent's love beat all else. Sarutobi taught me... that problems should be solved with kindness rather than with violence. Sasuke taught me... that you should not only dream about things but actually achieve them. Itachi taught me that... sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the greater good. Tsunade taught me... to never abandon the living for the dead. Jiraya taught me... that you must never give up your faith in humanity and your hope of peace. Obito taught me... that it is never too late to revert to the right way. Madara taught me... that peace is no peace without freedom. And Naruto... well, we all know that Naruto taught us a lot. but the most important thing is: no matter what happens in your life... NEVER GIVE UP !!! BELIEVE IT!

Notice how he is so hard on himself. “Sometimes it seems like the whole thing is pointless. Like I’m a loser and all I will ever be is a loser” that’s why he has the ability to train harder than everyone. He has to do it there is no choice. Be a loser or endure pain and suffering to be the best. Lee picks pain and suffering everyday.

watching this gives me strength

Currently struggling with studies and work. May rock Lee give me the strength and motivation I need

"I, Madara, declares you strongest."

The harsh reality is most us had this cry with no one to lift us up like Guy did here. As a result of this, some of us have grown cold and heartless.

“True Hardwork always beats natural Talent”

Rock Lee trained so hard and Sasuke just copied his taijutsu😥😟 Rock lee deserves a lot

Lee was the real winner here

“He’s outcold. Nothing keeping him up but shear willpower” Man that’s deep.

If ii ever become a dad. Gai will be a huge influence in how i bring up my kids.

you ll never find something like this in todays shows

Bro, am 22 now and this still makes me cry

“You’re right, all the effort is pointless if you don’t believe in yourself”😢that hit hard

Rock Lee alone made the Chunin Exams arc one of the best in part 1, not to mention Rock Lee vs Gaara

The original All Might and Midoriya

You ever quietly broke down during a workout? Not because you were tired but because you feel like you weren't good enough to reach your goals. Rock Lee is a great example to follow. Never give up

Gai Sensei took a loser and turned him into a beast that almost killed a Jinchuuriki and was acknowledged as a genius by Kakashi himself...if anyone is a a real MVP it’s Gai

"Your right....All the effort is pointless, if you don't believe in yourself." This should be everybody's mantra because it's so true. If you don't believe in it yourself then it's doomed to fail.

So legitimately im not the only one who cried during this, right?

7:11 to 8:00 is soo damn inspirational, such a real human reaction.

“Your right all the effort is pointless, if you don’t believe in yourself.” - Might Guy. No one had a stronger Will of Fire than Lee and Guy Sensei. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

7:45 was the first time this series made me cry. Lee's tears and self pity was so relatable, and guy's simple yet effective response was perfect. There are times in my life, you wonder whats the point in even trying when you keep failing. God, Naruto in its underdog years was so good..

"Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance.You are not guilty , you are a Good person. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!-Vine Addicted(one good guy)

That was my favorite moment in the entire series. “Make me proud! Be all that you can be!”- Might Guy

You learn something watching this. Sometimes, in order to believe in yourself, you need someone else to believe in you first. Someone else who believes in you, makes you want to believe in yourself.

“You’re right all the effort is pointless IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN YOURSELF”- Guy. This speech send chills down my spine!!

i cried watching this thank you

The story of Rock Lee is a sad one...because at the end of the day the answer was no. He became a very decent Ninja, but he never beat those who were considered truely talented, not Sasuke, nor Gaara, Nor Naruto. He is so human and so relatable and he teaches us an important lesson, sometimes all the practice in the world is simply not enough to beat those who were "chosen". However Lee's achievements are immeasurable because right behind them, the closest to those stars that were so so unnaturally high was Rock Lee and Rock Lee alone. He might never have beaten them but he was sure as hell the closest to them. Rock Lee, a true inspiration, a true man, and while only an animation and drawing he's also one of the most compelling humans there are.

The ending part, I haven’t cried like this since my mom passed away. This reminds of how touching Naruto was during my childhood

“If the mind is willing, the flesh could go on and on without many things” - Sun Tzu

"Not even conscious, and still determined to show the world what you can do". Lee is so fucking strong dude with inner will to victory. What an amazing example of life. I'm also a loser in life, without any gifts that others have. Today doctor has told me that I have problems with my back, and it's unfixable. Even though everything goes wrong, I'm not gonna give up, no matter what doctors say. Rock Lee is my spirit character. And I'm gonna change the whole world with my dream through hard work, just like Lee. Wait for some years, guys, you'll hear about me yet!

Listing to this everyday to remind myself to not give up,

"I do not know if I will ever be able to work hard enough to beat *real talent* " As a 6 year old watching this, I didn't understand what this meant at first, but 10 years later, I finally understand what those words mean. I finally understand the struggle of having to work 2 times, 3 times, even 10 times harder than everyone else, and yet you still feel like you're at the bottom.

8:26 "But I made myself the equal of any ninja including Kakashi." At first, it sounds like he's just boasting. Then as the series goes on, you realize he does equal Kakashi. Then against Madara, you recognize just how much he was underselling himself.

So many things to learn from an animie...😔

Everyone keeps saying you need a mentor like Guy, but did you ever stop to wonder who Guy had to help him? Sometimes in life, the only way is believing yourself even when no one else does. What makes a mentor great is the fact that they had little-to-no help through their own difficult times, but they believed in themselves and pushed forward. That's why they believe (and prove) that if THEY could do it without anyone's help, then anyone can do it with THEIR help. It's a blessing to have a mentor like Guy, who believes in you, but real strength is in being like him. Believe in yourself. Don't wish for someone like Guy. Be him. And then who knows, sometime in the future, someone sees themselves in you and decides to be your "mentor".

Rock lee represents how hours of hard work can beat talent 👊

Rock lee should've been more of a main character later on in the series of shippuden. I really hope In Boruto he's becomes the first to control 8 gates or maybe Metal Lee that would be cool

”I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” - Bruce Lee

Gotta run this back everytime i catch a L to remind myself to never give up and we caught another L

“I am not afraid of a person who knows 10000 kicks. But I am afraid of a person who knows one kick but practices it for 10000 times.” - Bruce Lee. Rock Lee practiced Taijutsu all time and became the best at this sphere. Best example of Hard work.

Rock lee is one of the hardest workers in anime history that explains why he’s also the one of the strongest 🔥

7:47 damn i felt that.

When he broke down… that hit so hard bro. Anyone who’s ever plateaued in pursuit of their passion knows exactly how he felt in that moment 😣

When ever i see this... I cry every damn time. This video has so much emotions to it

I always admire this a lot. I am a martial artist myself. My elder brother is my rival in martial arts. He is naturally gifted in jeet kune do. He was taught by Tim tackett, and taki Kamara, former Bruce Lee's students. I remember what he told me when I was a kid, he said that I will never be in his level. I felt like I could never beat him. But when I turned 18 years old. I met a man in a local gym working out. Then he was also training martial arts in a punching bag. I never seen anyone that fast. He was doing traditional thai boxing and wing chun. I was amazed by that. Then I asked him if he ever taught anyone. He said no just always been trained alone. I asked him if he can train me. Because I wanted to get even with my brother. Revenge was on my mind. But he taught me that never to misused against family members. I kept that promise. Then the training was so hard but I never gave up on myself. Then I found out that perseverance is my gift. After 2 years later he trained me wing Chun, he said this will build up more of your defense and quick attacks. So he taught me to combine both arts. Then 2 years later me and my brother got in to it. He never expected how much I improved. Then after that he said no more josh. In that moment. I finally got his respect. He met my master and told him thank you for training my brother. He has gotten better because of you sifu rene. I cried with happiness because he respected my master very much. Now 14 years later. I am proud to say I am now a true martial artist of myself. And now me and my brother train together we are now close.

Hard work beats talent. -Rock Lee.

Perfect example of “only you can stop you” you gotta fight yourself everyday

Lee and Guy are are the goofiest characters I have ever seen but there also the most inspiring.

This show always has to have a sad moment😥

when he said the winner is gaara it broke my hearth.Despite all his effort lee lost to someone who barely train,he had a tailed beats and was the son of a kazekage.Lee was the son of nobody and didnt even have ninjutsu.But the fact that he lose prove that despite all the effort and sacrifice you can still fail

"Hard work beats talent, if talent doesn't work hard" -Rock lee

My boyfriend only recently introduced me to Naruto a few months ago, but I'm so disappointed in myself for not looking into it as a kid. I honestly think Lee would've really helped me as a child because I just relate so much to him, and I did even more so when I was younger. I was surrounded by people who were all seemingly born with their talents and were fantastic at so many things, and this included my friends, while all I could do was sit back and watch with nothing to offer. This resulted to me being very negative and hard on myself for really my whole life up until this point. I really think Lee's story would've been a turning point for me back then, but now that I'm finally watching Naruto and seeing Lee overcome his lack of natural talent to become a great ninja, I don't feel so alone anymore somehow. Lee is definitely the most inspirational character I can think of and while my favorite will always be Kakashi, Lee holds a special place in my heart. Thanks for uploading such an inspirational video! Lee deserves more love for sure! :)

I think the reason most people find his backstory the worst is because it’s more realistic and relatable. No one in real life can have a monster trapped in them No one can have their entire town killed But the one that mostly happens... Is bullying.

Using this as motivation to join the marines. I’ve always quit when things get hard and ontop of that I have such a severe learning disability. I have to work my ass off to learn and comprehend pretty much anything while everyone else just absorbs it like a sponge. Must be nice being born with talent, not everyone is so fortunate. This reminds me to keep moving forward, because everyone else may be much smarter than me, stronger, faster. But the one good thing about my learning disability, is I’ve developed the one thing they don’t have. Perseverance. Most others are so arrogant and cocky with their talent and skill, they grasp everything so easily that they’ll never understand what real determination and perseverance is like. Because they’ve never been in that situation, and if they have it’s not to the extent people like me and rock lee have. Now I’ve got to start at square one and apply that to physical training which is why I watch this. I’m trying to learn all the ranks and general orders before going in, while in I’ll only have less than 3 months to learn it all. It’ll mean so much to me if I can make it through their boot camp. And then I can tell myself I’m not as dumb or weak as I thought I was, I just made it through one of the hardest training programs in the world.

Hard work is useless if you don't believe in your self! thank you Guy sensi!
