When I was a kid I could go through a math book in a week
What job?
Stockbroker
Stockbroker?
Yeah
Not an astronaut?
But I listened to what Jim Bob Arnold said 21 years ago.
The most poignant seven words ever uttered in any speech anywhere.
Don''t give up.
Don't ever give up.
Those great people didn't.
So...
I now have a responsibility to also not ever give up.
I'm not special.
I just listen to what the man said.
There are sometimes in life
where you fall down
and you feel like you don't have the strength to get back up.
I will try one hundred times to get up
and if I fail one hundred times
If I fail and I give up do you think that I'm ever (going to) gonna get up?
No.
But if I fail I try again...
and again... and again.
For as long as I try there is always that chance of getting up.
No matter what you might be going through
dont quit.
The secret is in not giving up.
Everybody who has done something great
they weren't that deep.
But they had was resilience.
They had the ability to bounce back
All the greats, they didn't quit.
No matter how impossible your situation may seem
stay on course.
I guarantee you can not pass it if you quit
I guarantee you are going to fail
but you don't know what's going to happen if you keep going.
I'm fragile.
I feel pain.
I hurt.
I open my eyes.
I crave victory.
I do not give up.
I feel no fear.
I fear no man.
I create.
I conquer.
I hold the power.
Make a choice
just decide
what it's going to be
who you are going to be
how you are going to do it.
Just decide.
And then from that point
the universe is going to get out of your way.
We can't have another bad year.
You've got to get to the point where enough
is enough.
It's much easier
to come up with excuses
of why you can't do it.
If you do what is easy
your life will be hard.
If you do what is easy
complain about your situation, your circumstances
surrender and give up on your dreams
become depressed
and bitter and angry.
Anybody can do that if you do what is easy
your life will be hard.
But if you do what is hard
keep coming back again and again and again
get up dressed every day
Take life on.
Taking life by the collar
you say yes!
I will do it!
I can do this.
And you've said yourself I'm willing to face the no's.
I'm willing for people to laugh at me.
I'm willing to gut this out
I'm willing to make this happen.
It's my time.
It's possible.
It's necessary.
It's hard.
It's worth it.
I'm going to do whatever it takes
I can do this. Anybody that has done this at any point in time.
In history
then what's possible for one
It's possible for me!
And I'm going to do it.
And if you do that over and over and over again
Your life will be easy.
Tomorrow is going to be your first day.
If you'd like to work here as a broker.
Would you like that Chris?
Yes sir.
