and this quote is about a young man it
was a young lawyer in New York he’d
married a beautiful girl and they had a
lovely daughter and then suddenly
she died
[Music]
this is what he wrote this was in his
diary he said she was beautiful and face
and farm and lovely are still in spirit
as a flower she grew and as a fair young
flower she died
[Music]
and when my heart’s dearest I couldn’t
die the light went from my life forever
[Music]
he thought the life on from his life
forever but he went on
[Music]
it’s only a beginning always the young
must know it the old must know it
because the greatness comes not when
things go always good for you but the
greatness comes and you’re really tested
when you take some knocks some
disappointments when sadness comes
because only if you’ve been in the
deepest Valley can you ever know how
magnificent it is to be from the highest
moment
always give your best never get
discouraged never be petty always
remember
others may hate you
those who hate you don’t win unless you
hate them
then you destroy yourself
that a lobsters are soft mushy animal
that lives inside of the rigid shell
that rigid shell does not expand
as the lobster growers that shell
becomes very confining and the kind of
the lobster feels itself under pressure
and uncomfortable cast off the shell and
produces a new one
well eventually that shell becomes very
uncomfortable as it grows and the
lobster repeats this numerous times this
stimulus for the lobster to be able to
grow is that it feels uncomfortable
now if lobsters had doctors they would
never grow because as soon as the
lobster feels uncomfortable goes to the
doctor gets a valium gets a percocet
feels fine never comes off his shell
is that we have to realize that times of
stress are also times that are signals
for growth and if we use adversity
properly we can grow through adversity
[Music]
these things happen to you and you think
you’ve been dealt a terrible hand you’ve
had bad luck and when you just go with
it there’s a you just start improvising
suddenly you realize that you stumble
upon some of the best things that have
ever happened to you
he thought the life gone from his life
forever but he went on
[Music]
you
[Music]
you
it’s sometimes yeah you’ve got a cup a
little piece of yourself
oh yeah no matter how much he hurt in
order to crap yeah
in order to move on
I read some words that I found extremely
powerful that I’ve been carrying with me
ever since it is not the critic who
counts not the man who points out how
the strong man stumbles
[Music]
or where the doer of Deeds could have
done them better
[Music]
[Applause]
the credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena
whose face is marred by dust and sweat
and blood who strives valiantly
Aires who comes short again and again
because there is no effort without error
and shortcoming
[Music]
but who does always actually strive to
do the deeds who knows great enthusiasms
the great devotions who spends himself
in the worthy cause Who at the best
knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement and
if he fails at least fails while daring
greatly so that his place shall never be
with those cold and timid souls who
neither know victory nor defeat
[Music]
you will have good days and you’ll have
bad days but you will always learn
something more or something new and you
will learn more overall on bad days than
good days
I’m here to say you will make mistakes
along the way you will fall down
I have many times even Ali did but what
we do after that fall is how we make
history
because impossible is nothing these are
words to remember when anyone tries to
tell you to give up tell you to give in
because whatever you’re trying to do is
impossible the champ said this
impossible is just a word thrown around
by a small men who find it easier to
live in the world they’ve been given
than to explore the power they have to
change it impossible is not a fact it’s
an opinion impossible this potential
impossible is temporary impossible is
nothing Muhammad always predicted from a
small boy that he would be the world’s
heavyweight champion
he always said told the kids in the
neighborhood I’m gonna be champ of the
world I’m gonna do this I’m gonna do
that
[Music]
[Music]
Chicken Soup for the Soul was rejected
by a hundred and forty-four publishers
144 publish we said we don’t want to
publish a collection of short stories
[Music]
now have you ever told someone your
dream and had them laugh out loud he
laughed out loud now if we had given up
after a hundred publishers who said no I
wouldn’t be standing here today and so
you’ve got to be willing to persevere
[Music]
because we didn’t pick no see when the
wolf says no you say no I think the
biggest disability that we have as human
beings is unbelief
[Music]
so what we have is this endless
possibility but you have the person gear
is as if the universe tests our
commitment
and so today we have 147 titles in print
we sold over 115 million copies were in
47 languages
[Music]
[Music]
everything starts with a vision and the
man without vision dies a brass bell
that hangs in the center of the compound
for all the students to see all you have
to do to quit is ring the bell ring the
bell and you no longer have to wake up
at 5 o’clock ring the bell and you no
longer have to be in the freezing cold
swims ring the bell and you no longer
have to do the runs the obstacle course
the PT and you no longer have to endure
the hardships of training all you have
to do is ring the bell to get out
[Music]
if you want to change the world don’t
ever ever ring the bell I have to shut
it all
the noise it’s loud
you have to cancel out the noise I
remember that it’s your thoughts that
matter
I’m young I’m healthy I’m fair
I’m pretty they can’t possibly be beasts
this is my moment for me
[Music]
you will learn more about yourself
you’ll learn more about relationships to
learn about life and principles and you
will build your character
so if you’re willing to decide what you
want believe it’s possible consciously
envision the future feel the feelings of
what it would
you’d achieve this goal you can have
anything when you take action even
though I was having these troubles at
home and even though I know real I had
no job no seeking you know I mean or
whatever didn’t know what actually what
I was doing if it didn’t happen it
didn’t happen but I still was able to
feel like it was didn’t like a kid would
use his imagination I was basically just
using my imagination some people can see
further than others
[Music]
we all live a long world of limitations
some people can see farther than others
[Music]
I have a big vision I put a lot of
effort a lot of sacrifice in things I do
if I don’t do it it means I don’t
believe in it in this I believe very
strong and I will not give up until I’m
top of the world so that’s the way it
works you aim for the top
you don’t aim for the second second
place is the first place among the last
ones and that’s not my target
[Music]
I try to do it almost every day this is
why I’m in the top level many many years
because I do extra outside
[Music]
when I’m 12 results most of the people
told me because I’m we are very very
talented player but you are very skinny
very slim and I put in my mind the body
we can improve can approach gene
duplication and not work
so I’d include myself a lot of times
people believe in certain things that
they keep to themselves they don’t put
it out there
we truly believe in it we become vulgar
with it you are creating that law of
attraction and it will become reality
[Music]
[Music]
I want you to see yourself doing what
you want to do experiencing what you
want to experience it
everyone’s unique you know them you take
like Bruce Lee’s head you take from from
everyone and you use what is useful and
you discard what is not and you add what
is uniquely your own having what you
want to have doing what is that gives
your life some meaning at value
[Music]
people who go against the odds are
supposed to you know people who do stuff
that hasn’t been done before on people
who do stuff that people say they can’t
do that that inspires me hard workers
people people that are chasing their
dream no matter what people are saying I
matter what people think there’s a lot
of people just go do what they feel like
they should do and and live with the
status quo and and you know go live by
all these rules and hey this is gonna be
okay you know just go accept you your
average nine-to-five rather than
striving for something because the
ultimate goal isn’t to succeed or fail
the ultimate goal is to give it
everything you have for something that’s
on your heart and a dream and pursuing
that and if you get to live out your
your dream every single day then the
result doesn’t matter I can look back 20
30 years from now and be able to look at
this time and say you know what I gave
everything I had dreams are based on
something that’s in your heart that are
passions that are something that you
want to go try not on chances
[Music]
I’ve been on the end of many defeats of
mine in my life and I bros back so I
will not shy away from it and I will not
make excuses for it
I will assess it come on
if you can see it here and you have the
courage enough to speak it it will
happen I’ll never lose the fight it’s
impossible telling it’s impossible to
fight your life they see in my fans over
the last time they lo I’m too fast
champion from the hell if you’d like to
lose your money feel fool and bet on son
in less than three rounds
listed by two
saying I’m gonna do something st.
putting it out there for the world to
see I’m ain’t going out and doing it
there’s no better feeling in the world
and that and it’s as easy as that say
what you’re gonna do and go and do it
I still envision to I’m possibly three
bells I’m gonna go with Eddie Alvarez in
the main event Eddie I don’t see how
Connor can beat a heart like that
I think Alvarez wins to get he has all
the tools to get the job done
[Applause]
[Music]
the quarters of a mile the effort was
still barely perceptible the time was
three minutes more points and say a
four-minute mile was possible
I had to run the last lab in 59 seconds
I felt the moment of a lifetime
last few seconds you never
st. line of the finishing tape stood
ahead as a haven of peace after the
struggle I knew I had done it before I
even heard the
I feel as if I was too close to
[Applause]
and I remember thinking if I can get
through this it’ll it may be as hard but
there’s it’s impossible for it to be
hard and I’ve had a lot of hard time
since he thought the life gone from his
life forever but he went on when you
take some knocks some disappointments
when sadness comes because only if
you’ve been in the deepest Valley can
you ever know how magnificent it is to
be on the highest mountain
roll the dice if you’re gonna try go all
the way otherwise don’t even start if
you’re gonna try go all the way this
could mean losing girlfriends wives
relatives jobs maybe your mind go all
the way could mean not eating for three
or four days it could mean freezing on a
park bench think I mean jail could mean
duration it could mean mockery isolation
isolation it’s a gift all the others are
a test of your endurance of how much you
really want to do it and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds and
it will be better than anything else you
can imagine if you’re gonna try go all
the way there’s no other feeling like
that
you’ll be alone with the gods and the
nights will flame with fire do it do it
do it all the way all the way you will
ride life it’s perfect laughter it’s the
only good fight there is pick up your
damn suffering and bear it to try to be
a good person so you don’t make it worse
well that’s a truth pain a damage donor
in the world or despair or fucking
beatings the world ends when you’re dead
until then you got more punishment in
store standing like a minute I’d give
some back be God there’s reasons to be
resentful about your existence everyone
you know is gonna die
you know you – there’s gonna be a fair
bit of pain along the way and lots of
it’s gonna be unfair it’s like yeah no
wonder you’re resentful it’s like act it
out to see what happens you make
everything you’re complaining about
infinitely worse 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 so you
think well what do you do about that
well you accept it I I did not feel that
pain I did not care if I was bleeding on
my knees because I know that pain is
temporary but the film is permanent and
I explained that to the director so this
is why I try to tell you always discover
your vision and the rest will follow
never ever think small if you’re going
to accomplish anything you have to think
big you have to go and shoot for the
stars
the biggest challenge most people have
is because they think small and the
reason why people think small and why
did choose small little goals is because
they’re afraid to fail they know that if
you shoot for big goal then the chances
of failing are very high and they’re
afraid of failing is one of the most
common things why people are frozen it
by the kid not make a move in life
because they’re scared of failing I say
to myself hey I’m not worried about
failing because that’s part of life
you’re not gonna be going win everything
and how far can you fall look at this
this is the ground that’s as far as I
can fall and you know something that the
only time you really consider the
failure is if you fall and you don’t get
up
but if you get up you’re never
considered a failure so I never
considered myself a failure I always
consider myself a winner
even though FL every so often but I
always got up and I always move forward
this is the important thing I never had
any patience of course for Smita
thinking small
because in German we have a saying ven
chung tension and that means that if it
was something think of all out and do it
well this just not just the case in
bodybuilding I didn’t just want to be a
bodybuilding champion I wanted to be the
greatest bodybuilder four times I wanted
that’s the most muscle the the most most
of all times the most definition I
wanted to win the most trophies the most
World Championship titles I just wanted
to be the best and the same is also a
movies I didn’t you think about being in
movies no I wanted to be a movie star I
wanted to have above the title building
I wanted to become the highest paid
entertainer I basically wanted to be
another John Wayne what’s wrong with
that
[Music]
[Music]
you
and I was taller Mittman is staying true
to what you said you would do long after
the move that you said it in his left
because we say things when the mood is
right right but when their involvement
in the mood changes we back off of it
how can I work hard for something and my
performance is not based upon the
outcome how can I work and my effort and
my motivation in my drive is not based
upon what the product would be but more
so based upon me taking pride in what I
do and so I came up with this thing
called process over product and I firmly
believe the process saved my life
and what I mean by the process I’m
talking about the way I handle my
business on a daily basis and the way I
go about every single aspect of my life
I live by this thing called empty the
bucket and when people hear it they
think is their chook slogan empty the
bucket but what they don’t understand
it’s the unspoken law empty the boat
working it’s an unspoken law of
accountability and responsibility to me
on this earth in my existence and
everybody is connected to me I may be
crazy but I don’t know I just believe
that I supposed to give everybody that
is connected to me the best version of
me I just believe I deserve to give my
wife and my children the best version of
me I just believe the people that I was
doing this hurt I deserve to give them
the best version of me
[Music]
I may be crazy I don’t know but I just
believed my five-year-old son of my
six-year-old daughter they deserved the
best version I may be crazy I don’t know
but I just believe my wife that I’ve
been with every since we’re in a clip
rave she deserves the best version to me
I may be crazy I don’t know but my three
little sisters I just believed they
deserved the best version of their big
brother I may be crazy I don’t know but
the people I’m a service to fajn his
face of this planet they deserve the
best version of me I’m not gonna give
them any less
I live by this thing called the harder
you work the harder it is to surrender
you see the reason people quit
they don’t take pride in what they do
the harder you work the harder it is to
surrender and I’m not just talking about
business I’m talking about winning
simultaneously in every aspect of life
I’m not concerned with a person that
does wild what aspect of their life and
they can hang their hat and say man I’ve
made a lot of money you made a lot of
money you’re a public success with your
private area
what good is it to make a lot of money
you don’t want to go home to your family
what good is it to make a lot of money
you don’t take care you can’t what good
is your public success with your private
value and so how can we win
simultaneously and take pride in
everything that we do
I have come to learn that if you don’t
take it by force you won’t take it at
all you sit in the cut and wait for good
things to happen spend 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 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 do there are all sorts of people
who want to break your face then during
your own family 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
you really you have decided that you are
going to change you’re not going to wait
for the government you’re going to wait
for some school or something else to
happen you are going to change your
situation
[Music]
I spent my life at it 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 10 years ago
as a bloke starting today in fact it’s
better today than it was then
so stick with it find our way through it
just find out an answer it works
folks this business works for those who
work it
[Music]
roll the dice
if you’re gonna try go all the way
[Music]
but I want you to know that while
they’re getting the diamonds and the
millions there are a lot of people
around the world for them it is the
worst of times the best of times and the
worst of times
that’s called serious manner how come
such a difference from those who can
reach such incredible heights and those
who haven’t yet found the answers for
their life and their health in their
future we just have to palm to that and
let that give us a note of seriousness a
note of series it’s serious whether you
win or lose it’s serious whether you
succeed or fail it’s serious whether
you’ve got a good future carved out for
yourself or you do not these are serious
matters matters of the heart were
serious matters of income are serious
matters of supporting your family
serious are you serious why we got a
serious matter here to discuss we
haven’t come with the latest ten stories
we’ve come with a serious matter
and I want you to take on that serious
tone you’ve got some serious products
that answer a serious need out there in
the marketplace I’m asking you to take
it serious take your own future serious
what you can do for your family take it
serious this is serious business so
that’s the first thing I want to bring
to you to have the best year ever this
year so that you can say I’m a my best
and finest contribution to see that goal
reached not just for the figure for the
figure but for all the figure represents
for the healing that represents for the
restoration of broken lives that
represents and people are discouraged
about their life in the chances now in
Currys on a new road for all that that
represents
willing to make the studies and willing
to make the commitment willing to do the
learning and find better ways to choose
the words find better ways to reach
inside get heart and soul mix it all
together and make an impact on people
but here’s the best motivation we’ve got
going the proof of our success when we
bring our success stories to this
platform that’s enough motivation when
we bring our dedication and let it show
we let the work of our hands show that’s
the motivation we want right not just
excitement just excitement alone won’t
do it just because you’ve listened to
those millionaire tapes one times no
sign you’ve got it I’m asking you to
listen to him over and over and over I’m
asking you to dedicate yourself to a new
level of learning you know study learn
grow change develop never let it be said
you didn’t learn right if you want to
solve your problems you got to learn you
want to take advantage of an opportunity
you got to learn develop your own
personal philosophy here philosophy
major determining factor and how your
life works out each person’s philosophy
is like the set of the sail the same
wind blows on us all the difference in
where we arrive at the end of the week
at the end of the month at the end of
the year is not the wind that blows
[Music]
and the wind is blowing around the world
the world is in solution things aren’t
changing the walls have come down all
kinds of things they’re happening in
Russia tonight today the winds are
blowing but what’s going to make the
major difference each person’s personal
philosophy that sets a better sail sets
a better sail
so don’t ask for a more favorable wind
that’s like wishing something that’s not
going to occur don’t ask for better seed
and soil all you gots what’s available
don’t curse what you got
on this planet all we gots with seed to
tear the soil the tear the miracle of
life the chair of the Opera that’s here
the seasons that are here that’s all we
got
wherever you come from in your country
the economy you got that’s all you got
in America our economy that’s all we got
the government that’s all we got the
marketplace that’s all we got whatever
you do don’t criticize all you got the
key is to set a better sail and turn
what you’ve got into the miracle of your
future don’t wish it was easier wish you
were better don’t wish for less problems
wish for more skills
you might go home and set a whole new
pace for yourself and we call it
cleaning up neglect should walk around
the block could walk around the block
for your good health don’t walk around
the block see you’re on the wrong track
should read could read don’t read on the
wrong track should call could call don’t
call on the wrong track could change
should change don’t change you’re on the
wrong track letters you haven’t written
conversations you haven’t had with your
family somebody you should sit down with
when you get back home and get that job
done don’t let neglect destroy your days
destroy your life and destroy your
future go back and do what you can and
if you’ll do what you can then life will
give you some extraordinary things to do
do you start first with the small of the
disciplines and do not neglect them and
do not disregard them as being trifling
everything matters everything is
important
all disciplines affect each other in
fact here’s a good philosophical phrase
if you hadn’t thought of it before here
it is everything affects everything else
it’s so easy to be casual and say well
this doesn’t matter this doesn’t matter
I’m telling you everything matters of
course some things matter more than
others but there isn’t anything that
doesn’t matter
if if you’ll be faithful if you’ll be
disciplined when the amounts are small
we’ll make you a ruler give you a
position of authority when the amounts
are many let’s take care of your
disciplines when the amounts are small
and then life we’ll see to it that you
get some extraordinary numbers to work
with
like you saw the stories displayed here
do not disregard the smallest of
disciplines let us not neglect do not
neglect the smallest of disciplines and
build on that foundation and you can
have everything you could possibly want
you say well what can I do about the
upcoming winters of my life the
challenges that I know I’m gonna face
here’s what you can do you can get wiser
and stronger and better just make a list
of that trio of words wiser stronger
better go home smarter than you came go
home with more ideas than you came with
next get stronger you can develop a
muscle you can develop the courage
muscle you can develop the inspiration
muscle you can develop the dedication
muscle you can get stronger there’s
anybody here that can’t get stronger
next time we see you may not even
recognize you how strong you’re gonna be
able to become in language style
personality the ability to cope the
ability to handle with anything that
happens no matter what happens
[Music]
the key is not to wish for a better
winter the key is to wish for more
strength or wisdom more courage get
better get wiser get stronger and you’ve
got to learn not only to nourish your
values you’ve got to learn to do battle
with your enemies
whatever threatens you I’m asking you to
threaten it back
take care of your responsibilities
but don’t take anything off anyway
somebody wants to destroy your chances
for a good future by their negative talk
negative thinking putting it all down
I’m telling you walk away if you have to
walk away
whatever threatens you threaten it back
whatever threatens your opportunity
threatened it back now some of our
enemies are on the outside but here’s
the most important thing to understand
some of our enemies are on the inside
let me give you a quick list
indifference you got to do battle with
your own indifference boy it’s easy to
coast especially if you’ve accomplished
something you know extraordinary now
somebody says I gotta relax here’s the
key not too long the weeds will take all
you plant them you rest too long don’t
rest too long in decision you got to
make those decisions the ones that don’t
turn out to be good gives you the
experience to make better decisions
don’t let much time go by without making
some decisions the ones that you can
make quickly make them quickly the ones
that take time take your time but get
those decisions made don’t let
indecision be an enemy rob you of the
future empty your bank account leave you
with zero in the purse don’t let that
happen the next one is doubt
sure there’s doubts on the outside
people doubt that America is gonna make
it people doubt that Europe is gonna
make people doubt that Russia is gonna
make it the Poland’s gonna make it the
Czechoslovakia is gonna make they doubt
the whole world is gonna make it
but I’m asking you not to pick up all
those doubts I’m asking you to have some
faith have some curves believe drive
your doubts into a small corner
don’t let them loose like a mad dog
drive you into a small corner don’t
doubt the future don’t doubt the
possibilities don’t doubt the
extraordinary gifts that your
distributors bring to your organization
don’t doubt that here’s the most
important one of all don’t doubt
yourself if I’ve got miracle working
power to change my life so do you
if I’ve got the ability to change so do
you if I’ve got the ability to read so
do you if I can discover so can you if I
can grow you can grow
was a young lawyer in New York he’d
married a beautiful girl and they had a
lovely daughter and then suddenly
she died

[Music]
these things happen to you and you think
you’ve been dealt a terrible hand you’ve
had bad luck and when you just go with
it there’s a you just start improvising
suddenly you realize that you stumble
upon some of the best things that have
ever happened to you
he thought the life gone from his life
forever but he went on
[Music]
you
[Music]
you
it’s sometimes yeah you’ve got a cup a
little piece of yourself
oh yeah no matter how much he hurt in
order to crap yeah
in order to move on
I read some words that I found extremely
powerful that I’ve been carrying with me
ever since it is not the critic who
counts not the man who points out how
the strong man stumbles
[Music]
or where the doer of Deeds could have
done them better
[Music]
[Applause]
the credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena
whose face is marred by dust and sweat
and blood who strives valiantly
Aires who comes short again and again
because there is no effort without error
and shortcoming
[Music]
but who does always actually strive to
do the deeds who knows great enthusiasms
the great devotions who spends himself
in the worthy cause Who at the best
knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement and
if he fails at least fails while daring
greatly so that his place shall never be
with those cold and timid souls who
neither know victory nor defeat
[Music]
you will have good days and you’ll have
bad days but you will always learn
something more or something new and you
will learn more overall on bad days than
good days
I’m here to say you will make mistakes
along the way you will fall down
I have many times even Ali did but what
we do after that fall is how we make
history
because impossible is nothing these are
words to remember when anyone tries to
tell you to give up tell you to give in
because whatever you’re trying to do is
impossible the champ said this
impossible is just a word thrown around
by a small men who find it easier to
live in the world they’ve been given
than to explore the power they have to
change it impossible is not a fact it’s
an opinion impossible this potential
impossible is temporary impossible is
nothing Muhammad always predicted from a
small boy that he would be the world’s
heavyweight champion
he always said told the kids in the
neighborhood I’m gonna be champ of the
world I’m gonna do this I’m gonna do
that
[Music]
[Music]
Chicken Soup for the Soul was rejected
by a hundred and forty-four publishers
144 publish we said we don’t want to
publish a collection of short stories
[Music]
now have you ever told someone your
dream and had them laugh out loud he
laughed out loud now if we had given up
after a hundred publishers who said no I
wouldn’t be standing here today and so
you’ve got to be willing to persevere
[Music]
because we didn’t pick no see when the
wolf says no you say no I think the
biggest disability that we have as human
beings is unbelief
[Music]
so what we have is this endless
possibility but you have the person gear
is as if the universe tests our
commitment
and so today we have 147 titles in print
we sold over 115 million copies were in
47 languages
[Music]
[Music]
everything starts with a vision and the
man without vision dies a brass bell
that hangs in the center of the compound
for all the students to see all you have
to do to quit is ring the bell ring the
bell and you no longer have to wake up
at 5 o’clock ring the bell and you no
longer have to be in the freezing cold
swims ring the bell and you no longer
have to do the runs the obstacle course
the PT and you no longer have to endure
the hardships of training all you have
to do is ring the bell to get out
[Music]
if you want to change the world don’t
ever ever ring the bell I have to shut
it all
the noise it’s loud
you have to cancel out the noise I
remember that it’s your thoughts that
matter
I’m young I’m healthy I’m fair
I’m pretty they can’t possibly be beasts
this is my moment for me
[Music]
you will learn more about yourself
you’ll learn more about relationships to
learn about life and principles and you
will build your character
so if you’re willing to decide what you
want believe it’s possible consciously
envision the future feel the feelings of
what it would
you’d achieve this goal you can have
anything when you take action even
though I was having these troubles at
home and even though I know real I had
no job no seeking you know I mean or
whatever didn’t know what actually what
I was doing if it didn’t happen it
didn’t happen but I still was able to
feel like it was didn’t like a kid would
use his imagination I was basically just
using my imagination some people can see
further than others
[Music]
we all live a long world of limitations
some people can see farther than others
[Music]
I have a big vision I put a lot of
effort a lot of sacrifice in things I do
if I don’t do it it means I don’t
believe in it in this I believe very
strong and I will not give up until I’m
top of the world so that’s the way it
works you aim for the top
you don’t aim for the second second
place is the first place among the last
ones and that’s not my target
[Music]
I try to do it almost every day this is
why I’m in the top level many many years
because I do extra outside
[Music]
when I’m 12 results most of the people
told me because I’m we are very very
talented player but you are very skinny
very slim and I put in my mind the body
we can improve can approach gene
duplication and not work
so I’d include myself a lot of times
people believe in certain things that
they keep to themselves they don’t put
it out there
we truly believe in it we become vulgar
with it you are creating that law of
attraction and it will become reality
[Music]
[Music]
I want you to see yourself doing what
you want to do experiencing what you
want to experience it
everyone’s unique you know them you take
like Bruce Lee’s head you take from from
everyone and you use what is useful and
you discard what is not and you add what
is uniquely your own having what you
want to have doing what is that gives
your life some meaning at value
[Music]
people who go against the odds are
supposed to you know people who do stuff
that hasn’t been done before on people
who do stuff that people say they can’t
do that that inspires me hard workers
people people that are chasing their
dream no matter what people are saying I
matter what people think there’s a lot
of people just go do what they feel like
they should do and and live with the
status quo and and you know go live by
all these rules and hey this is gonna be
okay you know just go accept you your
average nine-to-five rather than
striving for something because the
ultimate goal isn’t to succeed or fail
the ultimate goal is to give it
everything you have for something that’s
on your heart and a dream and pursuing
that and if you get to live out your
your dream every single day then the
result doesn’t matter I can look back 20
30 years from now and be able to look at
this time and say you know what I gave
everything I had dreams are based on
something that’s in your heart that are
passions that are something that you
want to go try not on chances
[Music]
I’ve been on the end of many defeats of
mine in my life and I bros back so I
will not shy away from it and I will not
make excuses for it
I will assess it come on
if you can see it here and you have the
courage enough to speak it it will
happen I’ll never lose the fight it’s
impossible telling it’s impossible to
fight your life they see in my fans over
the last time they lo I’m too fast
champion from the hell if you’d like to
lose your money feel fool and bet on son
in less than three rounds
listed by two
saying I’m gonna do something st.
putting it out there for the world to
see I’m ain’t going out and doing it
there’s no better feeling in the world
and that and it’s as easy as that say
what you’re gonna do and go and do it
I still envision to I’m possibly three
bells I’m gonna go with Eddie Alvarez in
the main event Eddie I don’t see how
Connor can beat a heart like that
I think Alvarez wins to get he has all
the tools to get the job done
[Applause]
[Music]
the quarters of a mile the effort was
still barely perceptible the time was
three minutes more points and say a
four-minute mile was possible
I had to run the last lab in 59 seconds
I felt the moment of a lifetime
last few seconds you never
st. line of the finishing tape stood
ahead as a haven of peace after the
struggle I knew I had done it before I
even heard the
I feel as if I was too close to
[Applause]
and I remember thinking if I can get
through this it’ll it may be as hard but
there’s it’s impossible for it to be
hard and I’ve had a lot of hard time
since he thought the life gone from his
life forever but he went on when you
take some knocks some disappointments
when sadness comes because only if
you’ve been in the deepest Valley can
you ever know how magnificent it is to
be on the highest mountain
roll the dice if you’re gonna try go all
the way otherwise don’t even start if
you’re gonna try go all the way this
could mean losing girlfriends wives
relatives jobs maybe your mind go all
the way could mean not eating for three
or four days it could mean freezing on a
park bench think I mean jail could mean
duration it could mean mockery isolation
isolation it’s a gift all the others are
a test of your endurance of how much you
really want to do it and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds and
it will be better than anything else you
can imagine if you’re gonna try go all
the way there’s no other feeling like
that
you’ll be alone with the gods and the
nights will flame with fire do it do it
do it all the way all the way you will
ride life it’s perfect laughter it’s the
only good fight there is pick up your
damn suffering and bear it to try to be
a good person so you don’t make it worse
well that’s a truth pain a damage donor
in the world or despair or fucking
beatings the world ends when you’re dead
until then you got more punishment in
store standing like a minute I’d give
some back be God there’s reasons to be
resentful about your existence everyone
you know is gonna die
you know you – there’s gonna be a fair
bit of pain along the way and lots of
it’s gonna be unfair it’s like yeah no
wonder you’re resentful it’s like act it
out to see what happens you make
everything you’re complaining about
infinitely worse 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 so you
think well what do you do about that
well you accept it I I did not feel that
pain I did not care if I was bleeding on
my knees because I know that pain is
temporary but the film is permanent and
I explained that to the director so this
is why I try to tell you always discover
your vision and the rest will follow
never ever think small if you’re going
to accomplish anything you have to think
big you have to go and shoot for the
stars
the biggest challenge most people have
is because they think small and the
reason why people think small and why
did choose small little goals is because
they’re afraid to fail they know that if
you shoot for big goal then the chances
of failing are very high and they’re
afraid of failing is one of the most
common things why people are frozen it
by the kid not make a move in life
because they’re scared of failing I say
to myself hey I’m not worried about
failing because that’s part of life
you’re not gonna be going win everything
and how far can you fall look at this
this is the ground that’s as far as I
can fall and you know something that the
only time you really consider the
failure is if you fall and you don’t get
up
but if you get up you’re never
considered a failure so I never
considered myself a failure I always
consider myself a winner
even though FL every so often but I
always got up and I always move forward
this is the important thing I never had
any patience of course for Smita
thinking small
because in German we have a saying ven
chung tension and that means that if it
was something think of all out and do it
well this just not just the case in
bodybuilding I didn’t just want to be a
bodybuilding champion I wanted to be the
greatest bodybuilder four times I wanted
that’s the most muscle the the most most
of all times the most definition I
wanted to win the most trophies the most
World Championship titles I just wanted
to be the best and the same is also a
movies I didn’t you think about being in
movies no I wanted to be a movie star I
wanted to have above the title building
I wanted to become the highest paid
entertainer I basically wanted to be
another John Wayne what’s wrong with
that
[Music]
[Music]
you
and I was taller Mittman is staying true
to what you said you would do long after
the move that you said it in his left
because we say things when the mood is
right right but when their involvement
in the mood changes we back off of it
how can I work hard for something and my
performance is not based upon the
outcome how can I work and my effort and
my motivation in my drive is not based
upon what the product would be but more
so based upon me taking pride in what I
do and so I came up with this thing
called process over product and I firmly
believe the process saved my life
and what I mean by the process I’m
talking about the way I handle my
business on a daily basis and the way I
go about every single aspect of my life
I live by this thing called empty the
bucket and when people hear it they
think is their chook slogan empty the
bucket but what they don’t understand
it’s the unspoken law empty the boat
working it’s an unspoken law of
accountability and responsibility to me
on this earth in my existence and
everybody is connected to me I may be
crazy but I don’t know I just believe
that I supposed to give everybody that
is connected to me the best version of
me I just believe I deserve to give my
wife and my children the best version of
me I just believe the people that I was
doing this hurt I deserve to give them
the best version of me
[Music]
I may be crazy I don’t know but I just
believed my five-year-old son of my
six-year-old daughter they deserved the
best version I may be crazy I don’t know
but I just believe my wife that I’ve
been with every since we’re in a clip
rave she deserves the best version to me
I may be crazy I don’t know but my three
little sisters I just believed they
deserved the best version of their big
brother I may be crazy I don’t know but
the people I’m a service to fajn his
face of this planet they deserve the
best version of me I’m not gonna give
them any less
I live by this thing called the harder
you work the harder it is to surrender
you see the reason people quit
they don’t take pride in what they do
the harder you work the harder it is to
surrender and I’m not just talking about
business I’m talking about winning
simultaneously in every aspect of life
I’m not concerned with a person that
does wild what aspect of their life and
they can hang their hat and say man I’ve
made a lot of money you made a lot of
money you’re a public success with your
private area
what good is it to make a lot of money
you don’t want to go home to your family
what good is it to make a lot of money
you don’t take care you can’t what good
is your public success with your private
value and so how can we win
simultaneously and take pride in
everything that we do
I have come to learn that if you don’t
take it by force you won’t take it at
all you sit in the cut and wait for good
things to happen spend 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 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 do there are all sorts of people
who want to break your face then during
your own family 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
you really you have decided that you are
going to change you’re not going to wait
for the government you’re going to wait
for some school or something else to
happen you are going to change your
situation
[Music]
I spent my life at it 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 10 years ago
as a bloke starting today in fact it’s
better today than it was then
so stick with it find our way through it
just find out an answer it works
folks this business works for those who
work it
[Music]
roll the dice
if you’re gonna try go all the way
[Music]
but I want you to know that while
they’re getting the diamonds and the
millions there are a lot of people
around the world for them it is the
worst of times the best of times and the
worst of times
that’s called serious manner how come
such a difference from those who can
reach such incredible heights and those
who haven’t yet found the answers for
their life and their health in their
future we just have to palm to that and
let that give us a note of seriousness a
note of series it’s serious whether you
win or lose it’s serious whether you
succeed or fail it’s serious whether
you’ve got a good future carved out for
yourself or you do not these are serious
matters matters of the heart were
serious matters of income are serious
matters of supporting your family
serious are you serious why we got a
serious matter here to discuss we
haven’t come with the latest ten stories
we’ve come with a serious matter
and I want you to take on that serious
tone you’ve got some serious products
that answer a serious need out there in
the marketplace I’m asking you to take
it serious take your own future serious
what you can do for your family take it
serious this is serious business so
that’s the first thing I want to bring
to you to have the best year ever this
year so that you can say I’m a my best
and finest contribution to see that goal
reached not just for the figure for the
figure but for all the figure represents
for the healing that represents for the
restoration of broken lives that
represents and people are discouraged
about their life in the chances now in
Currys on a new road for all that that
represents
willing to make the studies and willing
to make the commitment willing to do the
learning and find better ways to choose
the words find better ways to reach
inside get heart and soul mix it all
together and make an impact on people
but here’s the best motivation we’ve got
going the proof of our success when we
bring our success stories to this
platform that’s enough motivation when
we bring our dedication and let it show
we let the work of our hands show that’s
the motivation we want right not just
excitement just excitement alone won’t
do it just because you’ve listened to
those millionaire tapes one times no
sign you’ve got it I’m asking you to
listen to him over and over and over I’m
asking you to dedicate yourself to a new
level of learning you know study learn
grow change develop never let it be said
you didn’t learn right if you want to
solve your problems you got to learn you
want to take advantage of an opportunity
you got to learn develop your own
personal philosophy here philosophy
major determining factor and how your
life works out each person’s philosophy
is like the set of the sail the same
wind blows on us all the difference in
where we arrive at the end of the week
at the end of the month at the end of
the year is not the wind that blows
[Music]
and the wind is blowing around the world
the world is in solution things aren’t
changing the walls have come down all
kinds of things they’re happening in
Russia tonight today the winds are
blowing but what’s going to make the
major difference each person’s personal
philosophy that sets a better sail sets
a better sail
so don’t ask for a more favorable wind
that’s like wishing something that’s not
going to occur don’t ask for better seed
and soil all you gots what’s available
don’t curse what you got
on this planet all we gots with seed to
tear the soil the tear the miracle of
life the chair of the Opera that’s here
the seasons that are here that’s all we
got
wherever you come from in your country
the economy you got that’s all you got
in America our economy that’s all we got
the government that’s all we got the
marketplace that’s all we got whatever
you do don’t criticize all you got the
key is to set a better sail and turn
what you’ve got into the miracle of your
future don’t wish it was easier wish you
were better don’t wish for less problems
wish for more skills
you might go home and set a whole new
pace for yourself and we call it
cleaning up neglect should walk around
the block could walk around the block
for your good health don’t walk around
the block see you’re on the wrong track
should read could read don’t read on the
wrong track should call could call don’t
call on the wrong track could change
should change don’t change you’re on the
wrong track letters you haven’t written
conversations you haven’t had with your
family somebody you should sit down with
when you get back home and get that job
done don’t let neglect destroy your days
destroy your life and destroy your
future go back and do what you can and
if you’ll do what you can then life will
give you some extraordinary things to do
do you start first with the small of the
disciplines and do not neglect them and
do not disregard them as being trifling
everything matters everything is
important
all disciplines affect each other in
fact here’s a good philosophical phrase
if you hadn’t thought of it before here
it is everything affects everything else
it’s so easy to be casual and say well
this doesn’t matter this doesn’t matter
I’m telling you everything matters of
course some things matter more than
others but there isn’t anything that
doesn’t matter
if if you’ll be faithful if you’ll be
disciplined when the amounts are small
we’ll make you a ruler give you a
position of authority when the amounts
are many let’s take care of your
disciplines when the amounts are small
and then life we’ll see to it that you
get some extraordinary numbers to work
with
like you saw the stories displayed here
do not disregard the smallest of
disciplines let us not neglect do not
neglect the smallest of disciplines and
build on that foundation and you can
have everything you could possibly want
you say well what can I do about the
upcoming winters of my life the
challenges that I know I’m gonna face
here’s what you can do you can get wiser
and stronger and better just make a list
of that trio of words wiser stronger
better go home smarter than you came go
home with more ideas than you came with
next get stronger you can develop a
muscle you can develop the courage
muscle you can develop the inspiration
muscle you can develop the dedication
muscle you can get stronger there’s
anybody here that can’t get stronger
next time we see you may not even
recognize you how strong you’re gonna be
able to become in language style
personality the ability to cope the
ability to handle with anything that
happens no matter what happens
[Music]
the key is not to wish for a better
winter the key is to wish for more
strength or wisdom more courage get
better get wiser get stronger and you’ve
got to learn not only to nourish your
values you’ve got to learn to do battle
with your enemies
whatever threatens you I’m asking you to
threaten it back
take care of your responsibilities
but don’t take anything off anyway
somebody wants to destroy your chances
for a good future by their negative talk
negative thinking putting it all down
I’m telling you walk away if you have to
walk away
whatever threatens you threaten it back
whatever threatens your opportunity
threatened it back now some of our
enemies are on the outside but here’s
the most important thing to understand
some of our enemies are on the inside
let me give you a quick list
indifference you got to do battle with
your own indifference boy it’s easy to
coast especially if you’ve accomplished
something you know extraordinary now
somebody says I gotta relax here’s the
key not too long the weeds will take all
you plant them you rest too long don’t
rest too long in decision you got to
make those decisions the ones that don’t
turn out to be good gives you the
experience to make better decisions
don’t let much time go by without making
some decisions the ones that you can
make quickly make them quickly the ones
that take time take your time but get
those decisions made don’t let
indecision be an enemy rob you of the
future empty your bank account leave you
with zero in the purse don’t let that
happen the next one is doubt
sure there’s doubts on the outside
people doubt that America is gonna make
it people doubt that Europe is gonna
make people doubt that Russia is gonna
make it the Poland’s gonna make it the
Czechoslovakia is gonna make they doubt
the whole world is gonna make it
but I’m asking you not to pick up all
those doubts I’m asking you to have some
faith have some curves believe drive
your doubts into a small corner
don’t let them loose like a mad dog
drive you into a small corner don’t
doubt the future don’t doubt the
possibilities don’t doubt the
extraordinary gifts that your
distributors bring to your organization
don’t doubt that here’s the most
important one of all don’t doubt
yourself if I’ve got miracle working
power to change my life so do you
if I’ve got the ability to change so do
you if I’ve got the ability to read so
do you if I can discover so can you if I
can grow you can grow
