He is a guy that I met online. Pretty much on the vein of StevePavlina, he went ahead and started his own forums. He advised people and posted his philosophies and motivational kickings there - most of them, pretty harsh.

I can't really nail it down on a sentence, but this is the kind of stuff he used to write (pardon the offensive writing):

Another man if ****ing the woman of your dreams...

... right NOW. It's true. You know it is. Think about it. Feel it. The woman of your dreams... there she is... being ****ed by a man... and it isn't you. How does that feel? "You *******, how do you think that feels?!" I don't think, i KNOW how that feels! The woman of MY dreams was just driven right past me by her man in a yellow Gallardo. For all i know, they're ****ing in the giant pool of the mansion of my dreams right about... NOW. And you know what, that pisses me off. There's ONE reason and ONE REASON ONLY why he's THERE and i'm HERE... ME. That's right, ME.

In the years gone by, when i was sleeping, he was working. When i was watching TV, he was exercising. When i was playing video games, he was studying. He did the things i hated doing, for YEARS, but now, FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE he will live the life that 99.9% of the Earth's population can only DREAM of. And you know what? That (my behavior) makes me very... VERY angry. The life of MY dreams should be MY life, dammit!

I don't know about you, but even though its 6PM and i just got back from work, i'm turning around and going right back. Screw the traffic, i've got work to do! And afterwards, i'm gonna really, and i mean REALLY punish myself at the gym. Then i'm gonna go home, bury myself into the most potent psychology book i can get my hands on, and learn as much as humanely possible in the one or two hours i have left in the day. Then i'm gonna get a good night's sleep, jump out of bed, shower and run towards my car because I CAN'T WAIT to get to work! Goddammit, "if i do the things i HAVE to do WHEN i have to do them, the day will come when i'll be able to do the things i WANT to do WHEN i want to do them."

Several years from now, I'LL be living the life he's enjoying today because from this day forward, I'M gonna be out there giving my ALL. The only question is: where will YOU be in several years? Are you being productive RIGHT NOW? How about later tonight, will you be seen anywhere NEAR a gym? And tomorrow, will you work up a STORM at work, or just sit back there and pretend to be doing something?

IF SOMEONE ELSE IS LIVING THE LIFE OR YOUR DREAMS, YOU'VE GOT NO ONE BUT YOURSELF TO BLAME. STARTING NOW, DO YOUR BEST, GIVE YOUR ALL, EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY BECAUSE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT, GODDAMMIT!

Damn, I got so much from this man, and only now am I starting to grasp his attitude. Right now, his forums kinda withered since, ironically, people behind it are working really hard for themselves. People seem to want to take the forum back to it's previous glory though; it's not a forum for everyone, though. aha.
