There are moments that drive the human soul, so violently and so perplexing, that if the truth were told, all of us have had moments that we wanted to throw up our hands and walk away. Life is a threat. It's full of threats. You all know what you got till the storm breaks off. is that everything crazy happens when you're in transition. When you look at where you are and where you've got to go and all the dangers that are in between you and your destiny, the lions, the tigers and the bears,

you look at the people that fell on your right side and fell on your left side, and you say, oh God, I'm terrified and I'm anxious and worry. But you will get it. You can't trust your gauges, but you will. Get them. You may go through some stuff. You may be betrayed.

You may even be delayed. But you will get there. That means don't let yourself go. That means don't let yourself go down. That means don't give up on yourself. That means get up out the bed in the morning with an agenda. That means keep on moving towards your goal. I don't care how long it takes.

If you keep working hard, I don't know when, but it's going to pay off. You just can't lose sight. You've got to keep looking up, and you've got to see the big picture. The difference between a winner and a loser, the failure's there every some time. This is that the winner gets back up and does it again, it does it again, until it goes his way. Your dream, come, push. And nobody about eating on cookies and ice cream, push. It's a lie.

It's inside. How do you know you feel it? You dream about it. You eat and sleep every day. When people talk to you, Tom, this is what I'm going to do, so push. And you push your way to success. You push yourself to that 4.0. You push yourself for that scholarship.

You push yourself to the next level. Just push past the fight. Push. Don't quit. Don't get pushed. Push. I'm still here. I've been tried, but I'm still here.

I've been burning, but I'm still here. I've been lonely, but I'm still here. I've been frustrated, but I'm still here. I cried, but I'm still here. I rule my way through every situation, every trial. Every triple, I will my way through it. I don't care if it's cancer. I will my way through it.

I don't care if I'm struggling in school and I'm trying to get a degree. I will my way through it. I don't care if you fail the boards. Go again. I don't care if you fail the law exam. Go again, will your way through it? You know what I'm not going to do?

I'm not going to quit in the process. I'm not going to give up. I'm not going to give it. I'm not going to let you take my stuff, my job, my opportunity, my life. I'm not going to let you do it. And then even though I don't have nothing fancy to fight with.

like a degree or like a million dollars or like a bunch of friends, but I'm going to roll up what I got and I'm going to throw it at you. I will do whatever it takes. There's going to be blood. There's going to be sweat and there's going to be tears. I'm not giving it up. You've got to take it. And I will allow the pain to push me to greatness.

You will not break me. If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it, to work day and night for it, to give up your time, your peace, and your sleep for it, if all that you dream and scheme is about it, And life seems useless and worthless without it. And if you're glad to sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it, and lose all your terror of the opposition for it,

and if you simply go after that thing that you want, all of your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith, hope and confidence, and stern for tenacity. If neither cold poverty, famished or gall, sickness or pain, or body, and brain, can keep you away from the thing that you want. If darken and grim, you proceed and beset it with the help of God, you'll get it.
