- 0:01Speaker 1: You don't get disciplined from your parents. You don't get
- 0:06Speaker 1: disciplined from your parents, from your grandparents, from your older
- 0:10Speaker 1: brothers and sisters. You don't get disciplined from an external source.
- 0:17Speaker 1: You have to get it from you. That's what self
- 0:20Speaker 1: discipline is. You get it from yourself. You get it
- 0:22Speaker 1: from you.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Some of your best motivation might come wrapped in sand paper.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Some of your best inspiration comes with some pricks and
- 0:31Speaker 2: some nails and some thorns around it. Some of your
- 0:34Speaker 2: best inspiration came in an experience that you didn't ask for,
- 0:37Speaker 2: you didn't want, and you never want to have again.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Some of your best inspiration, some of the very thing
- 0:43Speaker 2: that's fuelled your soul to get you here, came in
- 0:45Speaker 2: an experience that you dare not wish on your enemy.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Things we've worked the hardest for, we value the most.
- 0:54Speaker 3: So I think you know the purpose of a goal
- 0:57Speaker 3: is not getting it anyway. The purpose of goal, you know,
- 0:59Speaker 3: is who you become. Well, he becomes going to make
- 1:01Speaker 3: you happier, it's going to make.
- 1:02Speaker 4: You sad every day in a thousand different ways. We
- 1:06Speaker 4: are trying to improve ourselves by learning how to do things.
- 1:10Speaker 4: We spend a lifetime gathering knowledge in classrooms, in textbooks,
- 1:15Speaker 4: and experiences. Now, if knowledge is power, if knowledge is
- 1:19Speaker 4: the forerunner to success, then why do we fall short
- 1:23Speaker 4: of our objectives? Why, in spite of all our knowledge,
- 1:27Speaker 4: and in spite of our collective experiences, do we find
- 1:30Speaker 4: ourselves aimlessly wandering, settling for a life of existence rather
- 1:36Speaker 4: than a life of substance. There may be many answers
- 1:39Speaker 4: to this question. Your answers may be different than your associates,
- 1:43Speaker 4: or your spouses, or your friends. While there may be
- 1:47Speaker 4: many answers to this question, the fundamental answer is the
- 1:50Speaker 4: absence of discipline applying all that we know. That's the
- 1:56Speaker 4: key word, discipline.
- 1:58Speaker 5: Self discipline the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are
- 2:04Speaker 5: trying to excel, who have dreams, that want to do things.
- 2:06Speaker 5: Talent you have, naturally, skill is only developed by hours
- 2:10Speaker 5: and hours and hours of beaten on your craft. You
- 2:14Speaker 5: don't try to build a wall. You don't set out
- 2:17Speaker 5: to build a wall. You don't say I'm going to
- 2:19Speaker 5: bake the build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that's ever
- 2:23Speaker 5: been built. You don't start there. You say I'm going
- 2:27Speaker 5: to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can
- 2:31Speaker 5: be laid. There will not be one brick on the
- 2:34Speaker 5: face of the earth that's going to be laid better
- 2:35Speaker 5: than this brick. Then I'm going to lay in this
- 2:37Speaker 5: next ten minutes. And you do that every single day.
- 2:42Speaker 5: Soon you have a wall. Is it's difficult to take
- 2:46Speaker 5: the first step when you look how big the task is.
- 2:50Speaker 5: The task is never huge to me, It's always one brick.
- 2:55Speaker 6: I would say reading is the strongest signal for success
- 3:01Speaker 6: in the future that I've ever seen. It is the strongest, strongest, strongest.
- 3:05Speaker 6: I got my first job in radio when I was
- 3:08Speaker 6: sixteen years old, because I've been been broadcasting since I
- 3:11Speaker 6: was sixteen years old, But my first job I got
- 3:13Speaker 6: because I was a great reader.
- 3:15Speaker 7: When you are a great reader, you can articulate and
- 3:18Speaker 7: speak and command the English language in ways that other
- 3:23Speaker 7: people cannot, and people think you're a lot smarter than
- 3:26Speaker 7: you are lots of times because you're a great reader.
- 3:29Speaker 8: When you take an al, take you take the right
- 3:32Speaker 8: al you like, I'm gonna be very cautious on that
- 3:35Speaker 8: next move if you're smart. So number one, every single day,
- 3:39Speaker 8: I want you to go to bed at night, stop.
- 3:41Speaker 3: Playing games, and be.
- 3:43Speaker 8: Honest about the wins and the losses. So I always
- 3:46Speaker 8: remember where I came from. I remember all the als
- 3:49Speaker 8: I took, because when you forget the als, that's when
- 3:53Speaker 8: you like you big and bad.
- 3:54Speaker 3: I remember. I always tell people. The most valuable lesson
- 3:58Speaker 3: I got from my mentor gym Ron was I asked.
- 4:00Speaker 3: My father worked two jobs. We were always broke. We
- 4:04Speaker 3: had no money for food, and we lived in a
- 4:06Speaker 3: community we moved to which was I thought they were
- 4:08Speaker 3: all rich and we were on the other side of
- 4:09Speaker 3: the tracks. It was a lower middle class, but compared
- 4:11Speaker 3: to where we lived before, these people seemed rich compared
- 4:13Speaker 3: to us, and I just didn't understand it. And Jim
- 4:17Speaker 3: said to me, Tony, it's not about the value of
- 4:21Speaker 3: your soul. It's about the value of you in the marketplace.
- 4:24Speaker 3: And your father's skills are not that valuable. He used
- 4:26Speaker 3: to take with an undergone parking attendant and he would
- 4:29Speaker 3: take people's ticket and make change.
- 4:31Speaker 9: Well, the research.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Now shows is being done at Yale's being done overseas
- 4:35Speaker 3: in England as well, and they found that forty percent
- 4:37Speaker 3: of all jobs they project in the next ten years
- 4:40Speaker 3: are going to disappear because of technology, it's going to
- 4:42Speaker 3: be replaced by an algorithm. It's going to be changed.
- 4:45Speaker 3: You know, all these guys on Wall Street, You're seeing
- 4:46Speaker 3: all these algorithms take over and they're getting rid of
- 4:48Speaker 3: all these traders. It's changing radically. These in these hedge funds,
- 4:52Speaker 3: there's three million truck drivers. Self driving cars are here.
- 4:56Speaker 3: In the next five years, they will be the standard.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Certainly within seven or eight year. Are you going to
- 5:01Speaker 3: hire someone who can only work eight hours a day
- 5:03Speaker 3: and sometimes gets drunk or can make a mistake when
- 5:06Speaker 3: you can buy a machine, write down the machine and
- 5:09Speaker 3: be in a position where it works twenty four hours
- 5:11Speaker 3: a day driving. But no one is telling these drivers
- 5:14Speaker 3: this and they have to retool now. So technology is
- 5:18Speaker 3: the biggest challenge. Labor is less valuable because of efficiencies
- 5:22Speaker 3: with technology, and it's going to get better and better
- 5:25Speaker 3: for technology, which is scary when you think about what's
- 5:27Speaker 3: going to happen for jobs. So I say to people,
- 5:29Speaker 3: you've got to participate in your own rescue. You've got
- 5:32Speaker 3: to retool yourself. The idea that Bernie Sanders has of
- 5:36Speaker 3: providing free education sounds wonderful, but the education he wants
- 5:38Speaker 3: to do is community college. There are no skill sets
- 5:41Speaker 3: in community colleges today for the most part, that are
- 5:43Speaker 3: going to prepare you for the economy or a job
- 5:45Speaker 3: that's there. So what is that going to do. You're
- 5:47Speaker 3: just gonna waste more money, more time. We need to
- 5:50Speaker 3: retool ourselves. The government's not going to do it for you.
- 5:55Speaker 10: Do we sit down and let change just happen to us?
- 6:00Speaker 10: Or are we just watching change happening around us? Or
- 6:06Speaker 10: are we aware that change is happening within us?
- 6:11Speaker 9: Are we going to.
- 6:11Speaker 10: Be those proactive people who make.
- 6:14Speaker 9: Sure that we affect what happens to us.
- 6:19Speaker 10: Change also produces four types of people. They are in
- 6:22Speaker 10: this room.
- 6:22Speaker 9: First of all, there are people who watch things happen. Now,
- 6:31Speaker 9: let me say something about change. This is important you
- 6:35Speaker 9: Not all change is improvement.
- 6:39Speaker 10: You used to weigh one hundred and twenty eight.
- 6:46Speaker 9: And now are you changed? And for some of you,
- 6:49Speaker 9: that's not an improvement. You lost your.
- 6:50Speaker 10: Wardrobe, you lost your ability to climb up steps fast,
- 6:57Speaker 10: even lost the quality.
- 6:59Speaker 9: Of health that you had.
- 7:02Speaker 10: Change doesn't mean improvement all the time. But the problem
- 7:08Speaker 10: is without change, there can be no improvement. So you
- 7:15Speaker 10: have to decide what to do with change. Change would happen,
- 7:22Speaker 10: and if you are not careful, it could be destructive.
- 7:29Speaker 10: So you have to determine what kind of change do
- 7:33Speaker 10: I want in my life? And I want you as
- 7:35Speaker 10: a young person, as a mother and a father, as
- 7:37Speaker 10: a business person, to think about your company even or
- 7:40Speaker 10: your family, or your educational pursuit or what kind of
- 7:43Speaker 10: classes do you want to take in college this year?
- 7:46Speaker 9: What kind of grades do you want?
- 7:48Speaker 10: What kind of relationships you want to have in your life?
- 7:51Speaker 9: Who do you want to drop? But who do you
- 7:53Speaker 9: want to pick up in your relationships?
- 7:54Speaker 10: What kind of people do you want to associate with?
- 7:56Speaker 10: Where do you want to travel that you've never been?
- 7:58Speaker 9: What are the books you need to read you never
- 8:00Speaker 9: read before that? The changes.
- 8:03Speaker 10: Come with choices, So what kind of depression are you?
- 8:11Speaker 5: Sometimes your dreams are flirting with you, but you're not
- 8:14Speaker 5: letting your dreams.
- 8:15Speaker 9: For it, because, oh, you're doing the same. I know
- 8:17Speaker 9: what you're trying to do with me. You're just trying
- 8:19Speaker 9: to get into my pants. Of course, your dreams are
- 8:21Speaker 9: trying to get into your pants. All the storytellers are
- 8:24Speaker 9: kind of gone, and the actual understanding of our users
- 8:27Speaker 9: is gone. We've lost all that sensitivity and yet I
- 8:30Speaker 9: feel like that sensitivity comes first from really knowing yourself.
- 8:33Speaker 9: Ever ever give up.
- 8:36Speaker 11: You can change, and you can move around, but never
- 8:40Speaker 11: ever give up.
- 8:42Speaker 10: There's a saying that says you could lead a horse
- 8:44Speaker 10: to the water, but you can't.
- 8:46Speaker 9: But you can't make them drink. You plan, you plan,
- 8:50Speaker 9: but what about is this comes up?
- 8:51Speaker 12: You don't get caught off guard.
- 8:53Speaker 9: Proper preparation presents poor performance.
- 8:55Speaker 8: Fail big, that's right, fail big.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Well, Particularly if you're starting a company, you need to
- 9:01Speaker 1: work super hart.
- 9:02Speaker 9: That's how you get better by the way. That's part
- 9:04Speaker 9: of life as well. That's what makes it juicy to
- 9:06Speaker 9: want to keep getting better.
- 9:08Speaker 3: And sitting back and watching television that's playing defense, provoke, inspire.
- 9:14Speaker 9: Don't just get involved, but inspire others.
- 9:15Speaker 3: To be involved. That's playing offense.
- 9:17Speaker 11: Sometimes in life to be successful, oftentimes most of the time,
- 9:22Speaker 11: you have to follow your instincts. You have to follow
- 9:27Speaker 11: your gun.
- 9:30Speaker 10: There is a moment in the life of ever regeneration
- 9:34Speaker 10: when that spirit of hopefulness has to come through.
- 9:38Speaker 9: If we are to make our mark on.
- 9:39Speaker 8: History, remember that just because you're doing a lot more.
- 9:45Speaker 9: Doesn't mean you're getting a lot more.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Done.
- 9:49Speaker 12: The ability to manage yourself very very very well, you know,
- 9:53Speaker 12: or at least well enough where you almost become compulsive
- 9:57Speaker 12: about getting certain things done.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Is being able to laugh with your team about some
- 10:02Speaker 3: of the crazy stuff that happens.
- 10:05Speaker 9: And you know you.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Can't take yourself too seriously. You have to take the
- 10:08Speaker 3: job seriously.
- 10:09Speaker 6: You have to take your responsibility seriously.
- 10:11Speaker 1: But you know you have to be able to laugh
- 10:13Speaker 1: at yourself first and foremost in order to.
- 10:15Speaker 9: Be able to manage the whole.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Is the way you view the world is the way
- 10:19Speaker 2: you view things money, life, marriage, business, freedom, relationships.
- 10:26Speaker 9: Those processing that you have here. It's okay to change
- 10:29Speaker 9: those things, but not your personality.
- 10:31Speaker 4: Like, if you're here, you probably kick a lot of
- 10:34Speaker 4: acids something.
- 10:35Speaker 9: You're probably the best at something.
- 10:37Speaker 4: You have ambition, you're a risk taker, you have learned
- 10:40Speaker 4: to hack.
- 10:41Speaker 10: You will fail at some point in your life except it.
- 10:45Speaker 10: You will lose, you will embarrass yourself, you will suck
- 10:49Speaker 10: at something.
- 10:50Speaker 9: There's no doubt about it.
- 10:51Speaker 2: I'm telling you embracing because it's inevitable.
