He told the guy
he said
"When you want to succeed
as bad as you want to breathe,
then you'll be successful."
How many people from Detroit?
Raise your hand.
Anybody from Detroit?
I'm from Detroit.
How many people didn't have
their father in thier life? Raise you hand.
Yep thats me.
How many mom
your mom was young when she had you?
Raise your hand. Yep good.
How many went to Detroit public school?
Absolutely.
I just want people to know
like you can literally become number one in your field
from those circumstances.
Aight I'm a firm believer
that talent alone is not enough to be successful.
I'm a firm believer that
energy is more important then anything.
The amount of energy you put into something,
the amount of effort that you give.
Aight, I am a firm believer that just because
you grew up in a certain neighborhood
Just because your parents might be rich
or your mom's a doc
like they are not giving out success
they're not giving out degrees.
So what I'm trying to explain to you is that
thing on that piece of paper
that's your life.
That's your liberty
like that's next level for you.
Don't look at it as a job
or don't look at as you got to go to class.
Like whatever you write down
you are literally in school
because you are here
to put yourself in a position to make that happen.
So every single day when you wake up
this is what should be on your mind.
This is what you should be pursuing.
And if it doesn't have anything to do with that
then we got a problem.
So I want to show you guys something real quick.
Aight lets go to the
can we go to the
I think Green Bay,
Green Bay, Dallas.
Yep, window of opportunity.
Play clock down to three.
Rodgers spins to his left!
and the pass is incomplete
out of bounds, now they say complete.
The offical, the second one came in
and overruled the other Jared Cook
and with 3 seconds left
the Packers are going to have a chance to win it.
This to send the Packers in the NFC Championship game.
Its is.....
GOOD!
The Packers are moving on!
You got a small window young people.
You got a small window.
And the problem when you're 17, 18, 19
you think you have forever.
It's a disease for young people.
It's a disease when you're young
you like man I can go to this party,
I'll bounce back.
I'm good.
I don't gotta study this week. I'll bounce back.
I'm on academic probabtion. I'll bounce back.
Like you just keep
you just keep bouncing back.
You know what I'm saying It's ok
I'm on final, you know what I'm saying its like
probation like serious probation.
Like go home probation.
They sending you home
you like I'll be
you telling all your friends I'll be back.
No you won't.
I'm being real.
Because you didn't take advantage of
did you see the window?
Did anybody watch the
did anybody watch the pattern he ran?
Was it a hard pattern?
My man was just like get to the spot.
It was third and twenty in case yall don't know
they don't have a play for third and twenty.
Like Coach never draws up
Aight on third and twenty
I want cha to run a sweet option to the left
and come over real slow
and jog thru the middle of the field.
That's our play for the middle.
No such thing.
Drew the play up before.
You just outta of everyone's way
and you catch it ....BOOM!
They won the game with what?
Three seconds left.
I'm under the impression that
the Packers did not win
with three seconds left.
They won in the first quarter.
They won in the first quarter!
You like they wont in the forth quater Eric.
I saw them get the ball.
No they won in the first quarter.
You think you gonna to wait till the last minute.
They didn't wait till the last minute.
They won in the first quarter.
They won the second quarter.
And they did what they had to do in the forth quarter
to secure the victory.
At no point did the Cowboys ever like take a lead.
Why?
Because they were trying to play catch up
because the Packers came out
First quarter got it. Secon quarter got it.
Third quarter we got it.
And we don't gotta play catch up
we'll just get that last play
and the 51
and it's OVER!
Some of you trying to wait till the forth quarter
I'm telling you it ain't gonna happen.
You gonna make a sweet comeback.
And still fail that class with like a 68.9
You like
*Laughing*
BOOM!
Pass the forth test.
Boom! Pass the 5th test.
Boom! Almst past the 6th test.
Boom! Flunk the final.
There some grown folks in here
that will tell you
that thier life is not where they want it to be.
And it didn't start today.
They didn't start messing up today.
They didn't mess up last week and got here.
This some stuff from 18
This some eighteen year old decision.
This is decisions they made when they were 21.
When they were 22.
They made those decisions that landed them here.
You are in the first quarter of your life.
Go ahead in life. Go up!
