I was never the most talented, never the flashiest I relied on grit.
Other players might have been more talented, but I can assure you. No one was gonna outwork me.
The secret is in the dirt.
I learned early on in my life.
Through many challenges that I could change my circumstances.
With hard work. You can't out real me, you can't out want me, you can't out work me. No one will outwork me.
No one. I will not be be outworked right period yeah, you know
You might have more talent than me. You might be smarter than me. You might be sexier than me.
You might be all of those things. You got it on me in nine categories. The sheer concentration that is required to pursue a dream;
you see it's not for everyone but
It was for me.
I yearned for the daily grind.
And I couldn't get enough of it.
99% of
people are not willing to do what it takes to make their dreams come true.
The Marines have a saying; everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.
And that's just real at the center of bringing any dream into fruition is self
discipline.
Self discipline is the center of all material success.
You cannot win the war against the world if you can't win the war against your own mind. Work.
That's how you get it. The work pays, hardwork pays. I put in the f****** work and that's that's who I am.
I'm sitting at the top. I poured it all on the line.
I show up I perform and
I get the results from that. That ability to get myself up in the morning no matter how tired I was
[uhuh] to push myself through those pain barriers. The bridge between reality and a dream is work. I focus on on the work
I show up and I work and I work and i work and i work.
Everybody wants to be a beast until it's time to do what beast do. You can't just say you want it.
You can't watch the video and say I wanted as bad as I want to breathe its cute to say it.
But when it's showtime when the sun comes up. All you can do is all you can do.
They ain't nothing more than all you can do. That is the absolute maximum.
You can't do no more than all you can do. You understand that?
All you can do is all you can do. All you can do is everything that's the absolute ultimate.
Right? All you can do is all you can do
But all you can do is enough.
The only thing that you can control
that influences success in life is how hard you work,
how honest you are and how well you deal with others.
You can control those variables, uh those variables. You can't control how lucky you are
although the more you work the luckier you get. You have no influence on the
intellectual capabilities that God did or did not give you. But you can work as hard as possible
You can be scrupulously honest so that people respect you and you can get along with others because nobody does anything by themselves.
- Did you have to pay a price though? You personally?
Well I think that everything is an either-or. There is a price in everything you can study or you can go out and play.
You can defer to others or you can try to hog the credit. You can
be honest and suffer the consequences or you can lie cheat and steal and short-term maybe even advance.
But long-term you are better off if you'll work harder, you are better off if you're honest
and you are better off if you give others credit and get them to help you with by helping them.
