YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING – The Rock’s Ultimate Motivational Speech for Success


I’m broke and I want to get better I’m
broken I want to make money do not bound
or you kick down law and everyone who
tells you you can you ever imagine even
in your most outrageous dreaming ever
imagine you’d reach the stage where
you’re a 10 million dollar a movie star
I knew that I wanted to I knew I wanted
to be something and it was important to
me to be something
[Music]
to me failing has become
critical in my growth
I was depressed
asking myself why why why we counted the
time I work so hard hard work pays
always thought it’s not paying for me I
got nothing
a little heads up fuck I’m talkin to my
$7 story when you consider where you
come from to where you’ve now found
yourself there’s only one way you’ve
done that and that self drive and
determination what do you think that has
come from I would have to say I don’t
have to say growing up and the examples
of reciprocating from my parents you
know we struggle a lot there’s a lot of
struggling going on when I was 14 we
lived in why I lived in a on efficiency
efficiency like one from efficiency
where the beer end with 180 bucks a week
and then she could be and then we were
big and so loved then we had to move
from light we could live there there’s a
lot of struggle watching them struggle
and watching them pull through it and
and having that exist and and also with
not only in addition to that example I
think consistently being told that
whatever it is demonic you’ve got it
you’ve got to get active there’s no
substitute for hard work hard work
always pays
I workout twice before everyone wakes up
so it started off four o’clock in the
morning while I’m starving so my cardio
and I have breakfast and then I would go
to the gym and then I go to work you
lure a rocky Balboa’s your story’s more
like it
where you just had me came from nothing
you didn’t have another penny and dollar
to rub there between you is your thing
is your nothing and yet like rocky you
just have the kind of street smart and
the determination I knew that I wanted
to know I wanted to be something and it
was important to me to be something it
was it was important to me that I didn’t
fail but by the way and if I did fail at
least a bit what was also important with
the lesson and I didn’t realize that
until I got older because you know when
you’re in it you’re in the grind you
don’t really recognize those things when
you’re younger but I could recognize it
now the important and just in terms of
the drive and the determination a lot of
it was experience to get your ass kicked
get back up and put the gloves back on
and your swing your leg whatever it is
that you want to do you’ve gotta get
after it when I was younger and starving
and struggling and literally we were
getting addicted out of our apartment
you know the music that moved me at that
time wasn’t sentimental music but it was
it was more aggressive and it was more
aggressive hip-hop it was broke and I
want to get better broke do not sound or
you kiss down law and anyone who tells
you you can’t just take your beer your
insecurities your worries your role of
Oliver to a halt to turn those hump into
sideways
