Henry Rollins will give you the kick in the ass you need

Call me old-fashioned, but there’s nothing hotter than a punk rocker with a brain and a decent sense of morality. Like Henry Rollins. Rollins has made more people hard than rigor mortis, he makes kickass music, and he’s also a supporter of anti-bullying measures.

And he recently made a video for Big Think, where he tells kids who are struggling due to circumstance to stick in there and work hard. Because yes, the shit that’s happening right now might be hard, or miserable, or unfortunate, but that’s just for now. Like the saying says, this too shall pass. And it’s a lot easier to believe in that when it’s coming out of this guy’s mouth.
