it’s a danger of low expectations
I would rather aim for the stars and not
hit them then to not aim at all I would
rather go after it and not get it did
not go after it at all I’d rather try

you’ll never be nothing he’s got a
what it is proven that the kids don’t do
as well in school bitch subcultures of
crime break out in the community because
if you don’t see better you don’t do
better what they have learned over time
is that mixed income housing does the
best so that the kid who’s on welfare
lives across the street from the kid
whose dad is a doctor because if you can
see up oh come on you might not have it
but if you can see it in your
neighborhood you learn to put a demand
on life and expect more for yourself
because you say is he can do it but if
you don’t see anybody doing it you stop
reaching for it and you cannot receive
anything you’re not reaching for if all
you’ve ever seen is poverty if all
you’ve ever seen this domestic violence
let me tell you you like the idea of
happily married but you will pick
somebody who’s mean cuz the nice guy is
boring and the nice guy who fell in love
I don’t know he’s nice but I’m just not
attracted to him you’re attracted to
what you’re exposed to and even though
you say you don’t want it you end up
Wharton with what your normal is how do
I keep getting tied up with the wrong
man that’s the only want you to live
talk to you anybody who treated you too
nice you didn’t like them cus you didn’t
agree with them because anytime somebody
likes you more than you like you they
he was lame from his mother’s womb
anytime you have been lame all of your
life broke all of your life
quiet all in your life intimidated all
of your life insecure all of your life
angry all of your life surrounded by
angry vicious people all of your life
you develop a norm around a nasty
when you do something every day you
forget what day it is
have you ever said it’s his Tuesday
because it looked just like Friday and
it feels like Thursday and you can’t
tell Thursday from Wednesday have you
had a life work every day you ended up
at the same spot you might have wore
green house code instead of a goal house
code you might have a white shoes
instead of red shoes you might a warhead
that day but every day when it was all
over you ended up at the same spot you
took different jobs but you ended up at
the same spot you met different women
but you ended up at the same spot you
dated different guys but you ended up
and to say daily when it was all said
and done
is this thirsty what day is it every day
looks to say when everyday looks the
same the light goes out in your eyes
when everyday looks are saved
you ceased to appreciate morning what
difference does morning make when it’s
going to look just like yesterday look

the bridge collapsed people died it was a horrible experience and when they did
a horrible experience and when they did research in it they said the bridge
research in it they said the bridge collapsed because of stress that means
collapsed because of stress that means whoever designed the bridge did not plan
whoever designed the bridge did not plan for the weight of winning and I want you
for the weight of winning and I want you to take into serious consideration the
to take into serious consideration the weight of winning because if you don’t
weight of winning because if you don’t once you get up there just do the
once you get up there just do the pressure of winning unit you didn’t
pressure of winning unit you didn’t build in the structure and the strategy
build in the structure and the strategy to handle it and stress is gonna be your
to handle it and stress is gonna be your warning bell going off in two o’clock in

you need to change you can’t have seven kids in one car
kids in one car even though you can have the maybe you
even though you can have the maybe you don’t have the structure to handle the
don’t have the structure to handle the trip so now you have to add that kind of
trip so now you have to add that kind of infrastructure and I want you to think
infrastructure and I want you to think since you’re probably going to be
since you’re probably going to be working with limited people you got big
working with limited people you got big drains with limited budget and you’ve
drains with limited budget and you’ve got a lot of people a small amount of
got a lot of people a small amount of people to handle are they tough enough
people to handle are they tough enough do they have the structure to handle the
do they have the structure to handle the stress of winning
is your strategy like my belt I solved before I left to come over here doesn’t
before I left to come over here doesn’t have enough notches to handle the strain
have enough notches to handle the strain of winning adding and changing and
of winning adding and changing and adaptability of that structure and
adaptability of that structure and strategy is it’s very important built-in
strategy is it’s very important built-in flexibility for best and worst-case
flexibility for best and worst-case scenarios is very very important so I’m
scenarios is very very important so I’m looking at my life and I’m looking at my
looking at my life and I’m looking at my life I’m gonna deal with my life your
life I’m gonna deal with my life your life in two categories one of them I’m

in your life and then sit on the side of the bed talking about I’m tired you did
the bed talking about I’m tired you did it to yourself because you’re a winner
it to yourself because you’re a winner you have a world with every winner has a
you have a world with every winner has a world with managing that whirlwind is
world with managing that whirlwind is important but if you spend a hundred
important but if you spend a hundred percent of your time managing your
percent of your time managing your whirlwind you don’t have time for growth
whirlwind you don’t have time for growth the whirlwind is an issue for one reason
the whirlwind is an issue for one reason it is like a football game you know what
it is like a football game you know what the most important feature of a football
the most important feature of a football game is it’s not the linebackers not the

going to be an unattainable goal because it is so abstract that you’d never know
it is so abstract that you’d never know when you’ve done it but if you take the

it is measurable and it is quantifiable and it’s going to give you the thing
and it’s going to give you the thing that you need to continue to be creative
that you need to continue to be creative the certainty of winning if you build a
the certainty of winning if you build a life that never says you want all you’re
life that never says you want all you’re gonna end up with is tired for these
gonna end up with is tired for these wildly inspiring goals with a double
wildly inspiring goals with a double walk anymore than two of them we want
walk anymore than two of them we want them to have a date on them and we
them to have a date on them and we want them to be indicators to us that we
want them to be indicators to us that we have completed this so that we can have
have completed this so that we can have the celebration feeling of having won
the celebration feeling of having won the game when you begin to develop these
the game when you begin to develop these things to people up under you need to
things to people up under you need to have them to here’s the challenge make
have them to here’s the challenge make sure their wigs tie into yours because
sure their wigs tie into yours because if they have a wildly inspiring goal
if they have a wildly inspiring goal that doesn’t tie into your wildly
that doesn’t tie into your wildly inspiring goals
inspiring goals didn’t you have division and division
didn’t you have division and division leads to destruction I’m gonna close
leads to destruction I’m gonna close with this little story I was in South

what it is proven that the kids don’t do
as well in school bitch subcultures of
crime break out in the community because
if you don’t see better you don’t do
better what they have learned over time
is that mixed income housing does the
best so that the kid who’s on welfare
lives across the street from the kid
whose dad is a doctor because if you can
see up oh come on you might not have it
but if you can see it in your
neighborhood you learn to put a demand
on life and expect more for yourself
because you say is he can do it but if
you don’t see anybody doing it you stop
reaching for it and you cannot receive
anything you’re not reaching for if all
you’ve ever seen is poverty if all
you’ve ever seen this domestic violence
let me tell you you like the idea of
happily married but you will pick
somebody who’s mean cuz the nice guy is
boring and the nice guy who fell in love
I don’t know he’s nice but I’m just not
attracted to him you’re attracted to
what you’re exposed to and even though
you say you don’t want it you end up
Wharton with what your normal is how do
I keep getting tied up with the wrong
man that’s the only want you to live
talk to you anybody who treated you too
nice you didn’t like them cus you didn’t
agree with them because anytime somebody
likes you more than you like you they
he was lame from his mother’s womb
anytime you have been lame all of your
life broke all of your life
quiet all in your life intimidated all
of your life insecure all of your life
angry all of your life surrounded by
angry vicious people all of your life
you develop a norm around a nasty
when you do something every day you
forget what day it is
have you ever said it’s his Tuesday
because it looked just like Friday and
it feels like Thursday and you can’t
tell Thursday from Wednesday have you
had a life work every day you ended up
at the same spot you might have wore
green house code instead of a goal house
code you might have a white shoes
instead of red shoes you might a warhead
that day but every day when it was all
over you ended up at the same spot you
took different jobs but you ended up at
the same spot you met different women
but you ended up at the same spot you
dated different guys but you ended up
and to say daily when it was all said
and done
is this thirsty what day is it every day
looks to say when everyday looks the
same the light goes out in your eyes
when everyday looks are saved
you ceased to appreciate morning what
difference does morning make when it’s
going to look just like yesterday look

prepare for routine I already know how
to do this carry me out they may have
the same spot I don’t have to think

talk about the oxen or arms of life how
can I be at a beautiful place and still
have an ugly problem how can everything
look so beautiful on the outside and I
got an ugly little secret on the inside
how can it be the best of times and the
worst time will get the contrast in his
life he has laid daily and a gate called
beautiful but he has an ugly problem
that stops him from getting beyond the
gate what does a gate a gate is access

going to be an unattainable goal because it is so abstract that you’d never know
it is so abstract that you’d never know when you’ve done it but if you take the

it is measurable and it is quantifiable and it’s going to give you the thing
and it’s going to give you the thing that you need to continue to be creative
that you need to continue to be creative the certainty of winning if you build a
the certainty of winning if you build a life that never says you want all you’re
life that never says you want all you’re gonna end up with is tired for these
gonna end up with is tired for these wildly inspiring goals with a double
wildly inspiring goals with a double walk anymore than two of them we want
walk anymore than two of them we want them to have a date on them and we
them to have a date on them and we want them to be indicators to us that we
want them to be indicators to us that we have completed this so that we can have
have completed this so that we can have the celebration feeling of having won
the celebration feeling of having won the game when you begin to develop these
the game when you begin to develop these things to people up under you need to
things to people up under you need to have them to here’s the challenge make
have them to here’s the challenge make sure their wigs tie into yours because
sure their wigs tie into yours because if they have a wildly inspiring goal
if they have a wildly inspiring goal that doesn’t tie into your wildly
that doesn’t tie into your wildly inspiring goals
inspiring goals didn’t you have division and division
didn’t you have division and division leads to destruction I’m gonna close
