You Gotta Want It

Product Information

I have to admit, this book is kind of motivational and inspiring. He says a lot of times that you should (and lowkey have to) chase your dreams, whatever they are, because they're going to make you truly happy. And that's a good thing to preach to your "fans" I think. And he describes what it feels like to succeed so well, that I WANT that feeling. So yeah, kind of motivating actually. It’s a video of me jumping off the plane the day I arrived in Los Angeles. Literally. I was seventeen years old, the plane had landed and taxied to the gate, and as I got to the door I whipped out my phone, pressed record, and began narrating the start of my adventure to the tune of a Miley Cyrus song. I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream . . . Then I literally hopped off the plane, timed perfectly to the lyric, and continued to serve up my own commentary. In light of all I’ve achieved since then, that video means a lot to me. It captured the exact moment when I planted my flag and vowed with total seriousness to myself that I would succeed. It was intense. I remember every moment perfectly, which is why I’m so bummed I can’t find that video. I can still feel the determination I had as I stepped off that plane. If I were a rapper, I’d be flowing off that day forever. I listen to a lot of rap. I relate to it. I know rappers exaggerate to make their songs more street, but when I decipher the lyrics, they’re mostly about stuff that’s happened, or is happening, to those guys as they fight their way to the top. Nothing’s going to stop ’em, they say—and I know exactly what they mean. The book takes place starting in Ohio where Jake was born and raised, then he takes many trips to try and pursue his career and the book ends in LA. This is a biography, Jake was talking in first person the whole book. Some major characters in the book were, Jake, Jake’s brother Logan, Jake’s mom and dad named Pam and Greg and Jakes friends from Ohio and some of the girls in his life. Jakes was trying to prove the saying “Always follow your dreams” because that is what Jake did and now he is a multi-millionaire from being a star on social media. He went through a bunch of bad things trying to pursue his dream but he pushed through and kept thinking that if he follows his dreams he will be happy where he ends up in the long run.

That being said, there is plenty in this book that is really stupid. There's top 5 or 10 lists between chapters that act to break up the longer stuff, and some of these lists are just Jake's mum saying 'He shaved half his eyebrow off once, how weird. I wonder why?' There were many times I had to put the book down to laugh, but not with Jake Paul. Not really at him either, though. urn:lcp:yougottawantit0000paul_x1m6:epub:f7ebf4a9-8758-4846-a49e-8d35c38ccfeb Foldoutcount 0 Identifier yougottawantit0000paul_x1m6 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s25v7r2gxvf Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781501158544 Ocr tesseract 5.0.0-alpha-20201231-10-g1236 Ocr_detected_lang en Ocr_detected_lang_conf 1.0000 Ocr_detected_script Latin Ocr_detected_script_conf 0.9587 Ocr_module_version 0.0.13 Ocr_parameters -l eng Old_pallet IA-NS-2000245 Openlibrary_edition A motivational personal account by the comedic social-media personality and actor traces his childhood struggles with sibling rivalry and bullying, shares behind-the-scenes anecdotes from his Hollywood career, and offers insights into pursuing one's dreams At first, we wondered if calling it ‘Eye Of The Tiger’ was too obvious. The initial draft of the song, we started with ‘It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight, rising up to the spirit of our rival, and the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night, and it all comes down to survival.’ We were going to call the song ‘Survival.’ In the rhyme scheme, you can tell we had set up ‘rival’ to rhyme with ‘survival.’

We lived in Westlake, a suburb about ten miles outside of downtown Cleveland. My parents lived three miles from each other, which made splitting time between the two of them pretty easy. My dad’s house was out in the woods with a super-long driveway and outdoor space that Logan and I definitely took advantage of. We rode our four-wheelers, ran sprints down the driveway, and spent all our time outside in the summers when we weren’t watching videos or screwing around in front of the camera making our own. I was stunned at how self-congratulatory this author is when detailing his own drive and massive accomplishments, especially while using fourth-grade prose to expound upon his achievements. You'd have thought he cured polio, instead of being a disney and youtube star (apparently that's a thing now).

Helping someone else can give a person in unexplainable happy feeling. Jake Paul helps out others by inspiring them with stories from his past and ways he has overcome his problems in life. He has great way of connecting with his readers, and has various different settings.If you’re in or around my generation and have grown up 100 percent digital, your life is pretty much documented on your phone. Mine is. I have thousands of photos on my 6. I also have exactly 1,900 videos. That’s a big, round, intimidating number. But there should be 1,901. I’m missing one particular video, and I’m pissed about it. As far as I’m concerned, our journey began the day my dad gave my brother and me a little handheld Sony video camera. It was Christmas 2007. I was ten years old, and Logan was twelve. We were stoked. My dad bought the camera to record our football games, so we could replay the games later. We wanted to study the plays and our technique, and learn and grow from our victories—and our mistakes. The book is like a satire on social media. I never laughed this much because of a book before. The funniest book I have read. Whether this was ghostwritten or not, the book was not a tiny bit boring. My favourite chapter was Hello Ladies. It really shows how complex Jake Paul's mind is. He expects the readers to feel motivated by his words. I do not know if that was successful, but this is the chapter which can be presented as evidence that this was surely written by Jake Paul himself because his uniqueness is conspicuously emanated from that chapter. At the same time though, reading this book, I don't feel like he's that bad... I don't know why, he just feels like an ordinary (douchy) guy. In my opinion, the worst thing about him is that he's disrespectful. But I don't think he's as bad as before when watching his newest vlogs. (Still not a fan tho!!). Then we started watching YouTube and discovered a channel called Smosh. At the time, it was the biggest channel on YouTube, and we found this guy whose videos made us laugh. His name was Ryan Higa, but he went by the name Nigahiga. He was a dude from Hawaii, not too much older than us, and into sports and being stupid funny. He lip-synched. He made fart jokes. It was simple comedy—setup and punch line—kind of like the videos Logan and I made, except he was putting his videos on YouTube—and tons of people were watching them.
