What makes the difference in the quality of people's lives?
What makes some people leaders
and other people followers?
What makes most people talk about a dream
and never follow through,
and other people, just a small percentage,
kick ass, take names,
you can through any obstacle at them,
they find a way to break through?
What's the difference?
It's not talent,
it's not skill,
it's hunger.
If you get enough hunger going in you for an answer,
you'll find the answer.
If you get a hunger enough inside of you that says,
I gotta take things to a next level,
I gotta achieve, I gotta make a difference,
I gotta expand,
you will find the answer.
People's intelligence will expand
if they've got enough hunger.
But if you got everything and you're not hungry,
you're not gonna have much.
The super successful don't stop
once they hit their targets.
They simply reset and go again.
Anytime you stop reaching for massive success,
the next thing,
you start settling in,
that's when you start having problems.
The comfort zone is dangerous.
When you're comfortable, you are most dangerous.
You should never feel comfortable.
You should be happy,
and dissatisfied.
Well, you should be afraid of taking risks
and pursuing something meaningful.
But you should be more afraid of staying where you are
if it's making you miserable.
It's like
you're paying a price by sitting there being miserable.
And you might say,
well, the devil I know is better than the one I don't.
It's like, Don't be so sure of that.
The clock is ticking.
And if you're miserable in your job now
and you change nothing in five years
you'll be much more miserable
and you'll be a lot older.
So don't be finished.
Be starting.
Be alert.
Be ready.
Be attacking.
Be relentless.
Let the enemy stop,
let the enemy rest,
let the enemy finish.
You?
Don't finish.
Don't stop.
Don't rest.
Not until the enemy is completely destroyed.
You are excellent
now stop playing small.
You are excellent.
stop playing small
you are excellent
stop taking the hand that they dealt you.
Take ownership
if you can get all A's in the class
do it.
You don't need nobody to give you $50
$100
no pair of shoes
take you on no trip.
You're a grown man
do it because you can.
Stop needing a carrot
stop needing money
stop needing a trip
stop needing somebody to give you a sticker on your head
and do it for the pride of who you are.
Do it because you can
I don't care what your friends are doing.
When you leave, what are you fighting for?
What's your legacy?
What are you gonna do?
You say you a champ
but do you practice like a champ?
You say you're a champ
do you fight like a champ?
You say you're a champ
do you have the mentality of a champ?
You have to hustle.
You have to get going.
Get up out of your seat and move.
You have to take massive action.
It's hard
it sucks
it can sap you of your
mental and physical energy.
But
you need to get going
and get up
after those things that you want.
No one's going to do it for you.
Work on yourself
everyday.
Get better
improve
learn
extend yourself
push yourself
out of your comfort zone.
Push the boundaries
that you're accustomed to.
That's the only way
to grow as a person.
If you look at all the successful people in the world
one common thread between all of them
is that they've all hustled.
They've all
gotten to work
gotten busy.
The gap
between here
and your ultimate life
is action.
That's the link.
You have to hustle
you have to get out there
and do what's required.
What excuse do you have?
What reason do you have not to?
Turn this video off
get out there
and get to work.
One of the things you have to understand about life is
everything changes and everything ends,
and that kind of sounds heavy on the front end, but it's a v
if everything changes and everything ends.
Number one, it should make you appreciate what you have right now.
And then my view is what's next is always better
if I make it so it's my job to make it so.
And so I think, you know, for me, I look at it and say,
you know, when you said,
genius is a young man's game, I think that's total bullsh*t.
I think passion is the genesis of genius.
If you've got enough passion, you're gonna find answers nobody else does.
But most people run out of fuel, meaning
they get tired, they get exhausted, they get burned out, they get,
you know, the law familiarity.
They're around something so much,
they take it a little bit for granted.
And I've managed to see something in myself that
I've found in every great leader that I've ever respected, and that is,
I value intelligence immensely, but I know
really smart people can't fight their way out of a paper bag pragmatically, right?
I'm sure you do too.
What I see is the one common denominator of people that are
successful over a lifetime is the sustained hunger.
Hunger
is the number one factor
when I see somebody, I don't care what age they are.
I don't care what their background is,
if they're hungry to improve, to change, to make something happen.
I mean, if you look at Richard Branson,
he's as hungry today in his late sixties as he was at 16 years old,
You know,
like my buddy Marc Benioff, you know, he is like,
he's kind in his early fifties right now.
Mark is more hungry today than when I knew him 12, 14,
15 years ago when he was first coming up with ideas.
I'm gonna, you know, he went to one of my seminars
over and over again, the UPW, you know, which one.
And he went there like four or five times
and he was sitting in the front row.
He was a tall guy.
He introduced himself and said, you've convinced me I'm gonna
leave this company I work for as an employee here, and
I'm gonna go start this new company called salesforce.com.
And he says, Tony, we're gonna do a hundred million in business.
We're gonna change business.
Now he's doing whatever, 30 billion right now,
it's, but it's because he hasn't lost the hunger.
And I think the law familiarity
is what destroys a relationship.
You get around somebody enough, you love them, and,
but you don't have the same passion, same aliveness.
And I'm just not willing to settle for
a life without passion and aliveness.
That's just like, there's so much to learn.
There's so much to grow, there's so much to give
and I'm, I'm wired to grow and give and
I think anybody gets wired to grow and
give is gonna have a really fulfilling life.
It doesn't matter what you choose to do.
You're gonna be alive cuz you're gonna make progress.
And because you made progress, you have something to give.
And we all, like, some people think they just want to get.
But you get, get, get, get, and it's pretty
damn boring and it doesn't really expand
your sense of identity of who you are.
But if you're constantly growing and then taking
what you learn, you're so excited about it, you
share with other people and their life gets better.
Whether that be software you make or dresses you design, or
you know, something you do in the health space that really
gets people to enjoy their food while they're eating well.
If you have those passions and you
keep growing, there's no limit.
It doesn't matter what happens in the short
term with a pandemic or with a drop in
the economy, or whatever the case may be.
These are all temporary when you realize
life has lived in decades, not in days.
There are no right things to do in life.
If you choose something and put everything that you have into it, it'll become a great thing.
Is it the right thing? Is it the best thing?
When you say, "Is it the right thing?" what you're asking is, "Is it the best thing to do in life?"
There is no best thing to do in life.
Anything that you take up, and if you put your heart and soul into it, it becomes a great thing.
"Is it the best thing?" No.
"Then what is the best thing?"
There is no such thing.
There's really no such thing.
Why are you not passionate about everything in the existence?
You're only passionate about one thing means what? You're constipated. That's what it means.
So… see, idiots do things that they don't like to do, suffer for their whole life,
because they think it's needed, or they think it's their duty.
Intelligent people do what they love to do.
They enjoy their life to some extent.
But a genius learns to do what is needed joyfully. That's when your genius flowers,
because it's no more about you.
Now there's a limitless way of looking at life.
So, every aspect of this rally, or many other things we have done...
I don't even have to tell people that
this must happen, this must happen, this must happen.
A few things, yes.
Rest of it, I just make it up in my mind, and I know it must happen.
And it will happen.
Not because I'm exercising my will over the world,
because I'm just fulfilling the will of the world, that's all.
