The way you’re tilting a cup that has a straw in it is killing me 😭😭

[@samanthaquant7411]

Are you two? Just kidding… but seriously my little kids do this.

[@phillisob]

None of my kids continued that past 2 lol. Including my special needs toddler. 😂😂

[@aralyz1216]

Same ! Wtf there’s a straw! Why is he tilting the cup!!!

[@sailorarwen6101]

I know with my kids cup the silicone straw on the lid and the plastic straw inside the cup can be separated. So I removed the plastic straw and she drinks it by tilting the cup

[@Bunny__YT]

it may not reach the bottom

In the world of social media where people are only sharing their success stories, it actually helps when few like you share their not so successful attempts, it is very relatable.

[@randomness2k027]

But like rejected twice already and going a third time is just stupid and defeatist

[@kp782]

@@randomness2k027how come? I applied to School did not get in the first time, tried 2nd time, not yet. 3rd time it worked out. Same with getting into national team 2nd worked out. Same with jobs. If I dont get the first 2nd or 3rd job of my dreams should I just stay unemployed. No. Try again and now in a great job

@@randomness2k027 I feel it’s incredibly brave of him to do it. Rejections hurt people, but it’s more important to give whatever you have, than to regret. Many successful person have faced rejection a lot of times, if they would have lost hope they wouldn’t have made it.

What I learned from this video: Matt totally understands how to drink from these cups but is rage baiting us into making comments about it to boost the algorithm. He knows what he's doing and he won.

That was not Michael Jordan who said that but Wayne Gretzky.

[@brookebebabbling]

Guess what wont happen, Matt wont be on his death bed and say "I wish I would have tried out for the voice!" He did it. Not everyone makes it. Not everyone tries. Matt did the part that matters the most. He put himself on the chopping block, TWICE!!! I respect anyone who chases their dreams with fervour.

[@annie5593]

Good for you for persevering!! Not many people would and it’s admirable.

[@SarsUndead]

The "failures" weren't failures. They're blessings in disguise. The person who is meant to discover you or even sign you, will show up when you least expect it. Lifes funny like this. Your times coming. Just wait a little longer and please don't allow failures to discourage you.❤

Beautiful family, your own home, You’re working your way up on Social Media(you don’t have to do a 9-5 crappy job like most of us, especially back breaking jobs like my hubby who falls off roofs 😞). If you can sing.. you have a whole channel you can show the world what you can do,, You have the audience right at your fingertips; you never know the right person may see you and invite you to the Voice.
