  • and so he went to this guru, right?

  • And he told the guru, "I want to be

  • "on the same level you are on."

  • The guru said, "If you want to be on the same level I'm on,

  • "I'll meet you tomorrow at the beach at 4am."

  • He like, "The beach? I said I want to make money.

  • I'll meet you tomorrow. 4am."

  • So the young man got there, 4am.

  • He all ready to rock and roll.

  • The old man grabs his hand, said

  • "How bad do you want to be successful?"

  • He said, "Real bad."

  • He said, "Walk on out in the water."

  • So he walks out into the water, watch this.

  • So he like, "This guy crazy.

  • "I want to make money, he got me out here swimming.

  • "I didn't ask to be a lifeguard. I want to make money.

  • "He got me in..."

  • So he said, "Come out a little further."

  • then he had it right around this area, the shoulder area.

  • So this old man crazy.

  • He making money but he crazy.

  • Said, "Come on out a little further."

  • Came out a little further, it was right at his mouth.

  • My man like, "I'm about to go back in here.

  • "This guy outta his mind."

  • So the old man said, "I thought

  • "you said you wanted to be successful."

  • He said, "I do."

  • He said, "Walk a little further."

  • He came, dropped his head in, held him down, hold him down.

  • My man getting scratchy, hold him down.

  • I got you, I know you've brushed it out, but I got you.

  • He had him held down, I need you for illustration.

  • He had him held down,

  • just before my man was about to pass out, he raised him up.

  • He said, "I got a question for you."

  • Somebody answer the question for me.

  • He said, "When you were underwater,

  • "what did you want to do?"

  • [audience mumbling]

  • Leave? I'm looking for a different word, though, than that.

  • - [Woman] Breathe.

  • - He said, "I wanted to breathe."

  • He told the guy, he said, "When you want to succeed

  • "as bad as you want to breathe,

  • "then you'll be successful."

  • I don't know how many of y'all got asthma in here today,

  • but if you ever had a asthma attack before,

  • you short of breath, SOB, shortness of breath.

  • You wheezing. (wheezing sounds)

  • The only thing you trying to do is get some air.

  • You don't care about no basketball game,

  • you don't care what's on TV,

  • you don't care about nobody calling you,

  • you don't care about a party.

  • The only thing you care about when you trying to breathe

  • is to get some fresh air.

  • That's it.

  • When you get to the point where

  • all you want to do is be successful

  • as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful.

  • I'm here to tell you, number one,

  • that most of you say you want to be successful,

  • but you don't want it bad.

  • You just kind of want it.

  • You don't want it badder than you want to party.

  • You don't want it as much as you want to be cool.

  • Most of you don't want success as much as you want to sleep.

  • Some of you love sleep more than you love success.

  • I'm here to tell you today if you're going to be successful,

  • you've got to be willing to give up sleep.

  • You got to be willing to work off

  • of three hours of sleep, two hours.

  • If you really want to be successful,

  • some days you gonna have to stay up three days in a row.

  • Because if you go to sleep you might miss

  • the opportunity to be successful.

  • That's how bad you gotta want it.

  • You gotta go days without, listen to me.

  • You gotta want to be successful so bad

  • that you forget to eat.

  • Beyonce said once she was on the set doing her thing.

  • Three days had gone by, she forget she didn't eat.

  • 'Cause she was engaged.

  • I'll never forget, when 50 cent was doing his movie

  • I did a little research on 50, and 50 said

  • that when he wasn't doing the movie

  • he was doing the soundtrack.

  • And they said, "When do you sleep, 50?"

  • He said, "Sleep? Sleep is for those people who are broke.

  • "I don't sleep.

  • "I got a opportunity to make a dream become a reality."

  • Football players, how many football players,

  • got anybody that like football in here, raise your hand.

  • Anybody like football?

  • Emmitt Smith.

  • I used to be a Cowboy fan before

  • they did my boy Tom Landry wrong,

  • I used to be a Cowboy fan.

  • There was a commercial,

  • Emmitt Smith had won his first Super Bowl,

  • and he had this commercial when he was lifting weights.

  • I don't know if you saw the commercial,

  • when he was lifting, and he said, Emmitt said,

  • "You know what, I won the Super Bowl,

  • "so I can rest now."

  • He was doing his bench press.

  • So he said, "So I won the Super Bowl so I can rest now."

  • So he throws up about 325, boom.

  • And he rests for about two seconds.

  • Then he's ... boom, boom, boom.

  • Did you see that?

  • He'd already won a Super Bowl,

  • he said, "I think I'm gonna take a rest."

  • And he rests for how long?

  • One second.

  • Most of you won't be successful

  • because when you're studying, and you get tired, you quit.

  • I'm here to tell you today, if you got a-

  • Somebody came to my office the other day crying.

  • I said, "Look, don't cry to give up, cry to keep going.

  • "Don't cry to quit.

  • "You already in pain, you already hurt.

  • "Get a reward from it.

  • "Don't go to sleep, until you succeed."

  • Listen to me, I'm here to tell you today

  • that you can come here, you can jump up, you can do flips,

  • you can be excited when we give away money.

  • Listen to me, you will never be successful

  • until I don't have to give you a dime to do what you do.

  • (audience clapping and cheering)

  • You won't be successful until you say,

  • "I don't need that money, 'cause I got it in here."

  • Listen to me, Emmitt Smith said this

  • at the end of the commercial.

  • Emmitt Smith said, "All men are created equal.

  • "Some work harder in preseason."

  • I'm gonna say it again because you might have missed it.

  • "All men are created equal.

  • "Some work harder in preseason."

  • So that means that there are some people

  • who are going to see the professor, going to see the TA,

  • and even when the professor says,

  • "I don't meet with you, my TA meet with you."

  • you say, "I don't want to talk to your TA."

  • - [Man] That's what it is.

  • - I don't pay the TA.

  • I pay you to teach me.

  • So you gonna have to find some time to meet me.

  • If I gotta meet you at the mall,

  • if I gotta meet you at your house,

  • you are going to see me.

  • Listen to me, all men are created equal,

  • some work harder in preseason.

  • When I went to college guys were way smarter than me.

  • 4.0s, 3.0s, they went to the Ivy League high schools,

  • came to Oakwood from these great high schools.

  • Most of them are not doing what I'm doing.

  • Why?

  • 'Cause it's not about where you come from.

  • It's about heart.

  • You come to place where being smart ain't enough.

  • You gotta have heart.

  • That's number one.

  • What's number two?

  • Number two, catch number two,

  • I wrote it down, I wanted to make sure you got it.

  • It says, watch this,

  • we're talking about sacrifice now.

  • The important thing is this -

  • you're writing while I'm saying it,

  • 'cause I only have about three more minutes -

  • listen to me.

  • The most imporant thing is this,

  • to be able at any moment to sacrifice

  • what you are for what you will become.

  • That's the number two thing, you gotta catch that one.

  • To be able to, listen to me, at any moment.

  • Some of you, you can make sacrifices

  • when Monday night football is not on,

  • you can make a sacrifice.

  • But when a game come on,

  • for some reason you just attached to it.

  • For some of you, when your favorite show come on,

  • you can make sacrifices on Sunday

  • when there ain't nothing going on.

  • But when your favorite show comes on Monday.

  • Some of you, you focused until the phone ring,

  • and then you like, "I gotta answer it.

  • "If I don't answer the phone I'm gonna die."

  • I'm saying to you today, that there are some of you

  • if you give up your cell phone you would be successful.

  • But your cell phone is more important

  • to you than your success.

  • I'm gonna say it again, I'm gonna hurt somebody.

  • Some of you need to give up your cell phone,

  • because the time you spend on your cell phone

  • could be used for your success.

  • The time you could be using to be successful

  • you are using on the cell.

  • And the cell phone is not bringing you nothing but a bill.

  • And somebody has told you you couldn't live without it.

  • I'm talking about going deep now, giving up stuff.

  • Watch what it says.

  • To be able, at any moment

  • to sacrifice what we are for what we could be.

  • "I don't do well in math."

  • You're right!

  • You ain't never studied.

  • "I'm not good at writing."

  • 'Cause you have never written before.

  • But I dare you to fail in writing for a whole year

  • to see if you can get to the end.

  • I dare you to fail.

  • I dare you to take that same class over and over again.

  • I dare you to stop dropping classes, like you soft.

  • Always want to give up.

  • "I'm dropping."

  • Why you dropping?

  • I'm so grateful that the slaves didn't drop and quit,

  • say "I'm just gonna stop.

  • "I'm a slave, I'm just gonna be a slave, I'm gonna quit."

  • Listen to me, the slaves said,

  • "We will live because one day we will become."

- So if you want to make six figures you can't
