Waxman Staff Writer Jun 23, 2015 2:25 PM CUT A three-year-old became the latest person to parody a motivational speech that actor [Shia LaBeouf delivered](http://time.com/3903849/shia-labeouf-motivational-speech-fake-ted-talk/ "undefined") last month as part of performance piece at Central Saint Martins, an arts school in London. The speech actually sounds less like an angry tirade when the words are coming out of a little girl’s mouth. In fact, it has an air of childlike innocence, which is most noticeable when she screams “just do it!” and “make your dreams come true.” Here is Shia LaBeouf’s speech for comparison: ### See 11 of the Worst Dictators Portrayed in Movies  Kim Jong-un - The Interview Columbia  RALPH FIENNES as Lord Voldemort in Warner Bros.
