my time with you today is very very
brief and I asked myself how could I
best communicate my thoughts and ideas
with all of you and I wish I had your
email address I wish I could reach you
on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or
whatsapp or wherever you hang out and if
I could I will reach out to you every
day is saved pretty much the same things
the first thing that I would do if I had
your email address I would explain to
you why do I spell happiness with a why
that why is there to make us all mindful
then it is you and your responsibilities
you and your opportunity to create the
future that you want for you and your
family the second thing that I would do
if I had your email if I could reach you
the second thing I will share with you I
would talk about the second most
important decision that I’ve ever made
in my life and that decision was I made
it at your age or younger that decision
was I was going to become world class
and whatever I did with my life not good
at it not pretty good at it but world
class at it and let’s define a world
class keep it simple a conversation is
being held and the question comes up
who’s the best of the business
somebody’s got to say your name same
conversation same question who’s the
best of the business of nobody says your
name then you got work to do same
conversations same question who’s the
best in the business if nobody says your
name and you don’t care get out of the
business you’ll never be any good at it
but the ultimate validation in that
scenario when that question comes up
who’s the best in the business the
ultimate validation is where somebody
who does not like you
says your name when the folks who would
not take your phone calls are now hoping
that you’ll return their phone calls
when the people who would not hire you
yesterday cannot afford you today that’s
what you know you know what I knew I
knew when I got invited to be here today
and that’s what I knew yeah baby if I
get your email address you if I had your
email address if I could reach you on
Twitter or Facebook or Instagram I would
be seeing to you again the same thing
every day which is the people that
you’re ultimately going to be competing
with they are not in your line of sight
they are not in your field of vision but
they need to be on your radar because of
globalization and technology the people
that you’re ultimately going to be
competing with or all over the world and
if I’ve got this right 70 percent of the
population in Saudi Arabia is under 30
years old and youth is a beautiful thing
and I will share with you beyond enjoy
yourself
but know this while you were off being
young and enjoying yourself the people
that you are ultimately going to be
competing with they are someplace
grinding they’re studying they’re
practicing they’re researching they’re
rehearsing their networking and that’s
going to make the difference between
whose son is the front of the check and
who signs the back of the check if I had
your email address man I will be blowing
you up every day at one of the things
that I will be saying especially to
aspiring entrepreneurs go brush your
there’s a scene in the film I don’t know
if you recall it but I met this guy who
was driving the red Ferrari
and I go up til when I say I’ve got to
ask you two questions the two questions
were what do you do and how do you do
that well there’s a new two questions
and while you’re brushing your teeth
look in that mirror and ask yourself two
questions number one if I could walk
through a door tomorrow morning and be
doing anything in the world that I say I
really want to be doing what would it be
what would it look like
what would it feel like what would it
taste like what would the smell like
engage all of your senses and then ask
yourself the second question what did i
do today to make tomorrow possible did I
move the dial forward one knotch
did I take one baby step towards what it
is I say I really want to do and if the
answer is no then that’s not what you
really want to do again my time with you
today is very very brief the last thing
that I’ll share with you is this there’s
a scene in the film that takes place on
the basketball court and as you
alternate Lee saw it on the screen it
was not originally written this way in
the original screenplay when that little
boy throws up that ball and says I’m
going pro the father says forget it
that’ll never happen I was no good at it
so that means that you can’t do it I
waited until we were going to film that
sing that day and I went up to Will
Smith and I said you can’t tell that to
that little boy because that’s not what
my mother told me we had a very heated
discussion about it me
Will Smith our director of Gabriele
Muccino and one of the producers they’ll
producers position was where the
father’s got to keep it real with the
kid my position was man you live in
Hollywood what you know about keeping it
we had a very heated discussion about it
for 30 minutes and finally it was Will
Smith who says you know what Chris is
rain because my mother told me the same
thing we tore up the original script and
what we wrote was don’t ever let
somebody else tell you what you can’t do
when other people are saying something
can’t be done you’ve got to hear them
saying that they can’t do it as you got
a dream you got to protect it if you
want something go get it period thank you
