You're going to have so many people tell you you don't have what it takes. How are you, of all people, going to do that? You're being unrealistic. You're not going to make it. Don't believe a word they say. You're going to have to block out the noise of everyone around you and focus on yourself. You go after and you give it all you have. If you lose, at least you try, man.

I failed. It's ten times. more of a man than someone said, what if? Because what if never went to the arena. In life, it's not the genetic guy who wins, where the guy with the most potential to wins. It's a person with the greatest perseverance that wins, always willing to get up and go ahead and get it, go ahead and get it.

That's the guy who has his handraised later in life, guys. That's the guy you guys need to be. Every true leader, they're called weird. They're called eccentric. When you do the things of real leadership, you're going to be called strange. Get strong enough in your own skin that when people laugh at you

or when they throw stones at you, you keep on going. What are you going to do now? How are you going to control that now? How are you going to flip it upside down and say, Roger, that. Now I'm going to harness this shit and you'll read about me years from now.

And everybody who roared you in the past, they're going to have to feel you. They're going to have to see you. Don't get even. Don't worry about getting even when you already beat the eyes. You want to make it. your dream come true, you got to stay focused. Some people rather get even than get ahead.

Stay focused on where you want to go. I just kept on doing what I was supposed to do. You have to be relentless. You have to never let off the gas, never stop, never quit. Never allow anyone to talk you out of the dream, division, and ideas that God has sent you. We all get knocked out. I've had my haters. I've had people who've come against me who try to sabotage me. I'm like the lion. I'm not the gazelle. I don't need something external demotiv. me, I find something with it. Life don't whip your blood. Life is going to bully you. Stop whining. Stop crying. Nobody cares.

Be demanding. Let it hit you, but don't let it punk you. Stop letting people affect your day, affect your life, affect the outcome, or what's that happened to you? Waste no more effort wrestling with other people. Your destiny, your future is not predicated on the decision of someone else. You've wasted too much of your life trying to change other people. The fulfillment of your dreams lies within you and you alone. When you understand and accept this, then nothing or no one can deny you greatness. Everybody said you don't read well enough.

You're not a critical thinker. I'm not. But I'm a beast. You ain't got to be smart when you are beast. You ain't got to be the most talented when you are beast. You ain't got to be the most talented when you got that dog. I'm going to fail. I'm going to fail. I'm going to fail.

I'm going to fail. and I will succeed. I'm gonna fucking make myself good enough. You're driven. I'm obsessed. I want to prove people wrong. While they talk, you keep working. While they gossip behind your back, you keep working.

And at the end of it all, they will lose and you will win. What if all of us took that attitude after we face a rejection and a no, or we have a meeting and no one shows up? Or somebody say, you can count on me and they don't come through. What if we have that kind of attitude, the cause repossessed? Nobody believes in you. You've lost again and again and again. The lights are cut off, but you're still looking at your dream, reviewing it every day and say to yourself,

it's not over until I win. Life will yield to you. And I'll go to war for what I want. I will go to war for what I love. So I won't stand down. So if you get in my way, I will either step on you or step over you. This is your territory. This is your turf.

This is your field. This is your court. This is your home. Protect with yours.
