while other students are complaining and whining about how hard the exams are and
how it's not fair guess what you're doing you're doing the work but you
should never be satisfied with yourself you must work on yourself consistently
and as Les Brown says as you go through the challenges of college and you look
at it and you embrace whatever comes to you don't run from it step towards it
don't try and duck it like most people do
see most students want it easy think about the people in your class they all
want it easy but when you make those hard decisions that you don't want to
make studying those subjects that you don't particularly find interesting but
you know that in order for you to get where you want to go this is what you
have to do we've all had those days that we wake up and we don't want to get out
of bed we've all had those days where we don't want to study we've all had those
days that we don't want to smile in anybody now that we've all had those
days there's a difference between winners and losers the winners can get
up and do it anyway there is no success without pain there is no such thing as
climbing to the top of the class without obstacle after obstacle after obstacle
only those that are consistent and study hard and do not give in to
procrastination will make it Walter Bond who once said what are you
willing to give up what is your discipline like what is your work ethic
like are you just comfortable right now you're getting B's and C's in your exams
and you're comfortable you can't get comfortable none of us can arrive where
we want to be if we're comfortable our job is to get smarter and stronger and
faster our job is to get better you've got to get to the next level and you've
got to be obsessed with the next level you can't afford to stay the same I want
you to travel I want you to have a big house I want you to have a nice car but
most importantly I want you to get to the top when did you get comfortable
when did you get off track when did you stop when did you give up when did you
talk yourself out of it I need you to make sure you go to your desk and you
get your laptop out you get your pins and paper out you get your head down and
you study I'm here to help you I know you can get there I know you can get to
the next level but you gotta study you gotta rise up early and you gotta go
to bed late you gotta be obsessive every successful person I've ever seen in my
life they are different they are obsessive and if you want to get to the
next level you've got to do something different but it's not just about the
grades it's about bettering your life you have
to a good vision you have to make sure your
mindset is right you have to make sure your health is in check but we live in a
world where people lack accountability and until we become accountable we are
all crippled by our excuses and all I want people to know is that if you can
get 10% better every single year in five years people won't notice you in five
years you won't notice your own bank account you won't notice your own career
you will get bigger faster smarter I got a message for the whole world
I know that anyone that had a dream in their third grade class that they had in
their fourth grade class don't give up don't give up on your dreams don't quit
I'm telling you that dream you had way back when can become true
