You Gotta Want It

Product Information

In this extremely positive, motivational, and often laugh-out-loud memoir, Jake Paul pauses long enough from his supercharged day-to-day as a nineteen year old social media heartthrob and costar on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark to share his takes on life, love, fame, and shooting for the moon. My first-ever, waste-your-money splurge? A gold Rolex. I thought it would make me cool in Hollywood. I was wrong. At the end of the day, we said, ‘Are we nuts?’ That hook is so strong, and ‘rival’ doesn’t have to be a perfect rhyme with the word ‘tiger.’ We made the right choice and went with ‘Eye Of The Tiger.’“ Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2022-05-19 21:11:01 Autocrop_version 0.0.12_books-20220331-0.2 Bookplateleaf 0006 Boxid IA40489210 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier I like being creative, making funny videos, and hanging out with friends—usually all at the same time.

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.And, damn, he's made a lot of people (social media) famous. Like the Dolan Twins, Alissa, Dobre twins and the rest of them. 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.’ However, in light of Shane Dawson's new docu-series on 'The Mind of Jake Paul', I wanted to give this a read to see if what he was telling Shane I don't know how it happened, but all of a sudden I started to watch his latest vlogs (I can't stand him pre December 2017 ughhh). He mentioned his book in one of them and I was like "wtf did HE write a book?? I gotta read it", so I borrowed it. What am I doing ?? (i need help probably).

So, I'm not as mad at it as I thought I would be. I gave it 3 stars mostly because I've read a few 'youtuber'books prior to this one, and it definitely meets the standard - which I'm honestly kind of surprised about, hehe. 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. A few months after we got the camera, my brother got a MacBook. It was the computer equivalent to getting a sports car. We’d been working on a clunky desktop computer, but like you, we grew up digital, and we wanted the newest and fastest devices. To us, that MacBook was the best—and it was our YouTube autobahn. I spent hours watching videos. I never really watched TV, at least not the way my parents and almost anyone else older than me did. Like you, I’m from a different generation. I have always chosen what I want to watch. I just type in a bunch of search words and laugh my ass off. It’s much more satisfying. urn:lcp:yougottawantit0000paul_x1m6:epub:f7ebf4a9-8758-4846-a49e-8d35c38ccfeb Foldoutcount 0 Identifier yougottawantit0000paul_x1m6 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s25v7r2gxvf Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781501158544This book, honestly, was nowhere near as bad as I expected it to be. In fact, at times, it was interesting and almost insightful. Jake writing about his and Logan's rise to fame on Vine, or moving to LA and realising he actually has to work hard to grow as an influencer in a time when influencer culture was still being defined, is genuinely quite interesting. There are also parts that are less interesting, like Jake Paul's thoughts on being a teenage boy and noticing that girls are pretty (as you would expect, this book is verrrry straight), or just how many times he talks about pranking the public by jumping out of a hedge and yelling 'It worked! It actually worked! What year is it?!' By the time you read this, I will have moved into an awesome house. But right now I live in a two-bedroom apartment in Hollywood, with five or six other people, including my brother, Logan. It’s like an open house: People come in and out all day and night, and it looks like it. Inside, there’s a huge pile of sneakers, a hundred pairs or more. I don’t remember how it began, but it’s grown into a giant art installation. For furniture, we have a bunch of extra-large beanbag chairs. Twenty people could crash comfortably, and sometimes they do. The kitchen is used—constantly. Cleanup is an issue. I’m staring at a bunch of leftover food on the counter. Don’t know what month it’s from. So you get the picture, and understand why I will have moved. 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.

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.

Move with deliberate fearlessness. Defy the odds that are supposedly against success. Ignore the naysayers. Take the word no, flip it around, and say to yourself, "I’m on 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.

35. Eye of The Tiger

I know a lot of kids—and maybe you’re one of them—who sit in their bedroom and think, I’m only fifteen or I’m only seventeen years old, and I can’t do this or that, it’s too hard, I’m too young, it’s never going to happen. I want to tell you to stop thinking that way. In fact, that may be the most important sentence I’m going to write. Stop thinking that way! urn:lcp:yougottawantit0000paul:epub:6d7e8f50-e721-416d-91fb-83f9a2fb131c Foldoutcount 0 Identifier yougottawantit0000paul Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t71w6gz6h Invoice 1652 Isbn 147116151X
