this is actually pretty simple and I said it the other day and you have to
realize you have to know you have to accept that all your excuses are lies
they're lies all of them think about the things that you tell yourself the lies
you used to rationalize taking the easy road taking the easy road and leaving
discipline behind think about them you don't have time that's a lie you don't
have support that's a lie you don't have the equipment or the gear lies you
don't you don't know the best way who cares that's a lie or you're too old or
you're too young of course you're too old or too young lie and there's you're
too busy sure you are that's a lie and you're too tired or you're too sore or
you're just plain not feeling it lies lies lies
and the list goes on and on and on then it doesn't stop if you don't make it
stop so recognize recognize the excuses are not valid they aren't they're trumped
up they're conjured up they're fabricated they're lies
and how do you stop the lies you stop the lies with the truth the truth the
truth will set you free the truth will stand and the truth will deliver you
from procrastination and laziness and the downward spiral that comes with a
lack of discipline so don't believe the lies believe the truth and the truth is
you have time you have the skill you have the knowledge and the support and
the willpower and the discipline to get it done cast out the lies burn them down
and listen to the truth then live the truth and go out and get it
done success is nothing to do with potential it's all about the
perseverance of somebody that will override any endeavor if you throw
against the wall eventually something will stick you guys that are had this
potential don't have potential you know that dies what continues to last
forever is a perseverance to always show up that's what champions do every single
champion the same as every ordinary person going differentials that they
show up to the event every single day they see failure as a learning curve
they welcome failure you learn more from failure than you ever will from success
so showing up and getting knocked on your ass
finally intestinal fortitude stand back up and reface that endeavour it's gonna
be the overriding factor that makes a difference how do you know when you're
doing those things the small things in life add up to those big monumental
things when I say the small things it's a character building block that your
name means something you hold value to your name if you drop trash from the
ground you pick it up that's your responsibility you hold value to
yourself when you shake someone's hand you look them in the eye and give them a firm
handshake because you're here for a purpose everything you do you do to the
best of your ability doesn't matter what you're doing it's the fact that
you're doing it so therefore it means something to you that's gonna build a
legacy because you know the title out there doesn't mean you win the title
fine that title will not get to another title
what you're trying to build is legacy you know footprints behind you there are left motivation for someone else to follow
legacy is built daily through the character that the will power the code
of conduct within somebody and that's the perseverance showing up every
single day that will always achieve your goal it doesn't matter what you're born
with it doesn't matter your potential how much you
know the silver spoon of money you have all that can be attained if you show up
and you're willing to to risk failure for success the concept of improving
lives runs through the center of everything I do and then I realize that
the the way to improve lives is to continually improve yourself right so
with that every every morning when I when I get out of the bed you know I I
haven't fixed everything in the world yet so there's always something to do
and in this film I read an interesting quote for the Siddhartha Gautama the
Buddha he said that good people have to get out of the bed every day and try to
empty the ocean with a ladle right and I thought that was you know I knew that
was profound and I paused for a second and I said all right what the hell is a
ladle right right so they're you know I just I touched it on my iPad is ladle oh
it's like a big spoon okay so try to empty the ocean with a soup spoon you
know as the the mentality of how you you wake up every day to try to do good in
the world so for me I'm I'm really driven by continually trying to elevate
my elevate my mind and elevate my spirit and care for my body and to be able to
love as many people as effectively as as possible
with this mystery of life that I've been given no one can live without a routine
you just forget that if you guys don't have a routine I would recommend like
you get one going because you cannot be mentally healthy without a routine you
need to pick a time to get up whatever time you want but pick one and stick to
it because otherwise you disregulate your circadian rhythms and they regulate
your mood that's the question when you're thinking
big why not you and answer it I'm not just doing this motivational video why
not you why shouldn't you win no no forget
motivation let's get logical why don't you actually answer that why can't you
be somebody that can do something in your business that's never been done
before why don't you answer it so give the argument logically here's why not me
because I don't work hard enough you can fix that stop being lazy because no
one in my family's been rich so what no one was rich in Zuckerberg's family
before he became who he is today and nobody was in Job's, Job's mom even gave
him up for adoption so why not you make the argument why don't you never ever
complain but when I see people complaining I'm just like what are you
what are you doing like your life is so short are you really gonna sit here
complaining let me put this in perspective okay I'm 34 okay I'm 34 now
in my 20s I didn't know that many people that died okay as you start to hit 30
people start to die okay I had a friend that died last week okay people are just
gonna start dying okay I've also almost died myself a couple times who here in
this room has almost died before put your hands up look at that look at that
crowd now if that many people have almost died let me be a little morbid and
freak you out here how many people here weren't here to put their hands up
there's probably like little ghosts of people like I actually did die
like right in this crowd right now that is going to be you okay you are gonna be
dead soon enough so don't waste your time complaining okay
don't waste your time complaining it's a terrible terrible idea all right I think
I've been doing this long enough to realize that no matter what people
perceive of me I always shine through at the end of the day so I've had a lot of
people try to tear me down but I'm here and I have always been myself and I've
always wanted that and I've been graceful and I've tried to handle myself
with as much class and it's only because I know how hard I work and I'm not gonna
let any of that get to me persevere nothing worthwhile is easy no one of
achievement has avoided failure sometimes catastrophic failures but they
keep at it they learn from mistakes they don't quit you know when I first arrived
on this campus it was we had little money fewer options but it was here that
I tried to find my place in this world I knew I wanted to make a difference but
it was big how in fact I'd go about it but I believed that it was those small
victories that helped me win the bigger victories of my last three and a half
years as president I mean I've got a real belief and and this is a true
belief and if those of you everybody's got kids out there if I ever hear my
kids say the word failure I'd lock them in a room for a week and I would request if
we have any power in this country that we could take that out of our English
dictionary and replace it with the word feedback because that's all failure in
our words is isn't it it's feedback we learn from mistakes
