THE TRUE GRIND – 30 Minute Motivational Speech Compilation


I don’t know who you’ll be after this
that you will not be whistling in
January 19th
we went are flea stars with five red
knives and thought I’d realize my dream
all those years later and that dream I
had when I was seventeen years old I was
now 37 years old so for 20 years I’d
worked to realize my dream things don’t
happen overnight you have to make the
emotion of personal investment to make
your dreams come true
has acting turned out to be all that you
wanted it to be it’s incredible it’s
incredible I never knew that I could do
it as a career I never knew it was the
first memory that I had the first thing
I can think of is saying I want to be an
actor too my parents felt like an elite
group of people and it felt like I would
never belong to them so once I got the
opportunity to to for example get to
movie this boy’s life with Robert De
Niro I said Wow
now I’m able to not be able to do the
course of my career I might be able to
have a career similar to these guys that
I’m you know I so admire
that I knew at 15 years old was the
biggest gift in the world and that lets
that’s never left me my father sent me
to Harrogate which was a spar town and
told me to find a job the most daunting
task in my life I went to Harrogate and
I found a job at the hotel King George
in Canada I started there and the 20th
March 1978 it wasn’t great truth but
what they taught me was how to push how
to run how to be consistent because
consistency is born out of discipline
how never to be late how to go to work
when you’re not feeling well and let the
chef send you home
I didn’t have an easy experience I
didn’t have come in as a top-rated
recruit
I didn’t come in with the opportunity to
play right away I had to earn it I’ve
never met that thirst or that hunger for
wanting to give one great performance
that I’m truly satisfied with or be in
one movie that I said I love this film
is something that I don’t know it will
ever be
Quine keeps pushing you you know you can
never perfect what we do there there’s
no way I’ve never met anyone who goes
that perfection I mean to an audience
outside of your work people can think
that that’s the only way they’ll ever
want to see that part played all that
alone and done whatever but as an actor
and this is not humility I think it just
goes for all art forms really the whole
point is perfection is unachievable so
it’s a constant pursuit of the
unobtainable which is kind of magic
written and
and she keep us kind of motivated to try
better success is born out of luck it’s
awareness of mind that takes advantage
of that opportunity when I said to him
when I was a young boy mr. Reed used to
tell me about a restaurant in Paris
called laughter which was the ultimate
is that how police towers in mission the
five red knives and thoughts
I said we’ve got three stars with four
black knives and forks
let’s go for flight read my thoughts
the next three years we push the leaf
push through first we did everything new
and will be confronted with opportunity
we must take advantage of it if you
don’t take advantage of your opportunity
you will never realize your dreams
whether you want them or not is be
relevant you don’t know that until you
achieve it I have come to learn that if
you don’t take it by force you won’t
take it at all in the cut and wait for
good things to happen spring years and
life passes them by because they are not
aggressive enough I’m not talking about
physical fighting but I’m talking about
that aggressive nature that causes you
to not allow the enemy to take over your
stuff
ask yourself what if no one ever bought
any of my work what if I’m never going
to sell a book or publish a book or a
short story are you going to continue to
write and if the answer is yes because I
have to do then yeah then you are a
writer I think what gave me the drive to
succeed was my insecurities reading
writing struggling it gave me that
individual drive to prove myself because
I’d been belittled at school had never
been taken seriously as always looked
upon as being a fool it’s being stupid
so it was the fuel behind me that’s what
made me work far harder is to prove to
my father and other individuals I have
possessed other great qualities
so had I been dealt with as a child I
may never had the energy or the fuel to
drive me to get to where I got
[Music]
so you consider yourself lucky very
lucky which have got talent to meet the
luck right somebody hands you the ball
and you’re wrong
you know I mean and if you get hit you
get hit or maybe you make it through you
never know but I mean I I just know that
somebody handed me the ball at a certain
point and I was hungry enough to keep
running and I’m still running and
maintain a hunger but not an ambition
all of you will discover you can do
things you never fuck you you can
advance farther than you ever thought
you could advance
[Music]
once you put your heart into believing
that you can do that back there is a
little bit of fear about whether you can
do it or what somebody will say about
how much further can you go that’s a
really good question and I don’t know
the answer to that I don’t have those
types of goals if I want this number you
know I just have the goal of I want to
play well at this term and I want to win
this tournament you know and then I want
to win this tournament and when I wake
up one morning and I just absolutely do
not want to go on the court or have no
motivation of going to court then that’s
one of you good for me
[Music]
you are a part of something that
transcends all the details of your
business you prove it every day that it
works and you prove it by overcoming the
obstacles that you have to deal with
[Music]
there are all sorts of people who want
to break your face sometime during your
own family and sometime they’re just
so-called good friends who think you’re
crazy for doing what you’re doing but
you see you have decided to take charge
of your life you have decided that you
are going to change you’re not going to
wait for the government you’re not going
to wait for some school or something
else to happen you are going to change
your situation
I shouldn’t like that
pretty good
but it wasn’t always easy this assistant
life isn’t but to those who can overcome
the obstacles rise up when difficulties
arise are the ones who win the prize
everybody starts at the bottom
and there is no advantage to starting
ten years ago as a bloke starting today
in fact it’s better today than it was
so stick with it
find our way through it just find out an
answer
[Music]
when you start something new it Snuggies
I I’ve never made it I’ve never finished
my painting until the day that my eyes
closed and I don’t wake up I feel like
I’m still putting towards my masterpiece
and they’re all building on something
that we hope can leave a standing of the
test of time
[Music]
the darkness as your ally you merely
adopted the dark I was born in it molded
by it I found myself sitting alone in my
bedroom and asking myself the question
that sometimes we all ask each other
what are you going to do now what are
you going to try two choices either I
was going to sit in that cell
give up while I was going to make a
decision to step out of the darkness
[Music]
see when you in that darkness you want
to sit there and wait for the light to
come
we when that dog feels uncomfortable but
you can’t wait
getting that dog
[Music]
only way out is to step forward to face
your fear become your own life I had to
make a decision
I had to decide I had to believe in
myself my never before had to find my
inner power
[Music]
now I’m not going to lie to you it’s
going to be a lot of times all about the
sale I’m still feeling everyday we are
all working properties
[Music]
and one day you’ll be sitting and dark
like I was and you’re going to be asking
yourself what am I going to do now what
I don’t do now
[Music]
within that moment I want you to
remember the power of you your life is
your life don’t let it be clubbed into
dank submission beyond the watch they’re
always out there is a light somewhere it
may not be much lighter but it beats the
darkness beyond the watch the gods will
offer you chances no then click on he
can’t beat tests but he can beat death
in life sometimes more often you learn
to do it the more lights there will be
[Music]
[Music]
your life is your life know it while you
have it you are marvelous the gods wait
to delight you
[Music]
and
I didn’t come to such a great home one
day I started running and that seemed to
make sense so and I just kept running
when you get sad you run straight ahead
and and you keep running forward no
matter what there are people in your
life or country hold you back slow you
down with you don’t let you stop running
and don’t you ever look behind you
there’s nothing for you behind you all
that it is what’s ahead
[Music]
you spent your career working to get
here now we have to start all over you
almost feel like an outsider coaches are
sympathetic but they still have to coach
and you’re not there it’s a dark place
probably the darkest it’s ever been
you’re sad and down and out and you ask
yourself why did this have to happen
[Music]
it’s in this moment that you find out
who you really are and what you’re
really about
[Music]
you aren’t handed in you earn everything
every single day over and over again you
have to prove it
[Music]
I feel like we all had two battles or
two enemies going on one with the man
across Korea the second is with the man
inside of it I think once you control
the one inside of you the one across
from you really doesn’t matter
your life is your life don’t let it be
clubbed into dank submission beyond the
watch they’re always out there is a
light somewhere it may not be much
lighter but it beats the darkness
[Music]
do not go gentle into that good night
old age should burn and rave at close of
day rage rage against the dying of the
light though wise men at their end know
dark is right because their words had
forked no lightning they do not go
gentle into that good night good men the
last wave by crying how bright their
frail deeds might have danced in a Green
Bay rage rage against the dying of the
light
[Music]
do not go gentle into that good night
grave men near death who see with
blinding sight range rage against the
dying of the light
[Music]
and you my father there on the sad
height curse bless me now with your
fierce tears I pray do not go gentle
into that good night rage rage against
the dying of the light
[Music]
now assault commitment is staying true
to what you said you would do long after
the move that you set it in her blood
because we say things when the mood is
right right but when the environment in
the mood changes we back off you get
yourself together
transcend your suffering see if you can
be some kind of hero makes the suffering
in the world left well that’s the way
forward
I may be crazy I don’t know but I just
believe my five year old son of my
six-year-old daughter he deserves the
best version I may be crazy I don’t know
but I just believe my wife and I’ve done
with everything communicate brave she
deserves it that’s virtually I may be
crazy I don’t know but my three little
sisters
I just believe they deserve the best
version of that big government I may be
crazy
I don’t know but the people I’m a
servicing on your face of their clinic
they deserve because for me they’re not
going to give them any less
[Music]
you did
see you didn’t fucking die when the
dogsled team so including last night
that’s three fucking damage incidents
that didn’t kill you pain the damage
donor new world or despair or fucking
cretins
the world ends when you’re dead until
then you got more punishment in school
stand like a man I’d give some bad
[Music]
you’re going to try go all the way this
could mean losing girlfriends wise
relatives jobs maybe your mind go all
the way
pick up your damn suffering and bear it
and try to be a good person so you don’t
make it worse well that’s a truth you
know I read a lot about the terrible
things that people have done to each
other you just cannot even imagine it so
awful so you don’t want to be someone
like that now do you have a reason to be
yes you have a lots of reasons to be god
there’s reasons to be resentful about
your existence everyone you know is
going to die you know you too
there’s going to be a fair bit of pain
along the way and lots of it’s going to
be unfair it’s like yeah no wonder
you’re resentful
it’s like act it out and see what
happens you make everything you’re
complaining about infinitely worse
[Music]
there’s this idea that hell is a
bottomless pit and that’s because no
matter how bad is some stupid son of a
bitch like you could figure out a way to
make it a lot worse
[Music]
life is suffering yes
well who wants to admit that well just
think about it so what do you do in the
face of that suffering try to reduce it
start with yourself what good are you
get yourself together for Christ’s sake
so that when your father dies you’re not
winding away in a corner and you can
help plan the funeral and you can stand
up solidly so that people can rely on
you that’s better
you’ll be a damn victim course you’re a
victim Jesus obviously put yourself
together and then maybe if you put
yourself together you know how to do
that you know what’s wrong with you if
you’ll admit it you know there’s a few
things you could like polish up a little
bit that you might even be able to
manage in your insufficient present
condition and so you might shine
yourself up a little bit and then your
eyes will be a little more open then you
can shine yourself up a little bit more
and then maybe you could bring your
family together instead of having to be
the hateful spiteful neurotic infighting
batch that you’re like doomed to spend
Christmas with so then you fix yourself
up a little bit kind of humbly because
you took god you’re a fixer-upper if
there ever was one and then you got it
figure out well can you figure out how
to make peace with your idiot brother
and probably not because we just dubbed
in you so how the hell are you going to
manage that
you
[Music]
your little clued in then at least a bit
because you’ve done something difficult
that’s actually difficult you’re a wiser
and so then maybe you could put a
tentative finger out beyond the family
and try to change some little thing
without wrecking it the things are
complicated and to fix things is really
hard
[Music]
it’s like how do you overcome the
suffering of the of life how do you
overcome the suffering of life be a
better person
that’s how you do it well that’s hard it
takes responsibilities you want to have
meaningful life
everything you do matters that’s the
definition of a meaningful life but
everything you do matters you have to
carry that with you you’re stuck in
meaninglessness but you don’t have any
responsibilities which one do you want
[Music]
ask yourself which one are you pursuing
and you’ll find very rapidly that it
isn’t the majority of your soul that’s
pursuing the whole meaning thing because
well look what you have to do to do that
[Music]
you have to put yourself together in the
face of that well that’s hard Christ
it’s amazing people can even do it I’m
stunned
every day when I go outside and it isn’t
a reliant I knew this guy he’d been in a
motorcycle accident and it really ruined
him and he was like a linesman you know
working on the power and he was working
with someone who had Parkinson’s disease
and they had complementary inadequacies
and so two of them could do the job of
one person and so they’re out there
fixing power lines in the freezing cold
despite the fact that one was 3/4
wrecked but the motorcycle accident the
other one has Parkinson’s like that’s
how our civilization works it’s like
there’s all these ruined people out
there they’ve got problems like you
can’t believe off they go to work and do
things they don’t even like it’s a
miracle
it’s a miracle and we’re so ungrateful
[Music]
you know they don’t know that they’re
surrounded by it just a flooding miracle
to miracle in all this stuff work
[Music]
you
[Music]
it’s an old old old old idea far older
than Christianity it’s old it’s the
oldest story of mankind get yourself
together
transcend your suffering see if you can
be some kind of hero make the suffering
in the world less well that’s the way
forward as far as I can tell if there is
any way forward if people that come
across our path whether we doing
business with them whether we’re talking
to them about any aspect of life I know
they’re coming across our path for
reason and I’m gonna try my best to
leave them a little bit different the
only reason I kept pressing forward the
only reason I didn’t stop was because
everybody that I met and everybody I
came across I knew they were looking at
my perspective about life and if I can
keep pressing forward they may encounter
something that they may face maybe you
want to stop and the first person that
will pop up in their mind man and think
press hold and it kept going surely I
can do
