- 0:01Speaker 1: Rarely is it a question of talent or technique. It's
- 0:04Speaker 1: just one of belief and the concommitant will to kind
- 0:08Speaker 1: of do something that either no one's done before, or
- 0:13Speaker 1: even more, I think, to crack open the barriers that
- 0:17Speaker 1: people considered impossible or undoable. And that kind of belief
- 0:22Speaker 1: I think is rareer than talent. Talent is it's around
- 0:27Speaker 1: and to having both.
- 0:28Speaker 2: At those levels.
- 0:31Speaker 1: There's only a few people that really have that. I
- 0:33Speaker 1: think in the history they're the ones that have really
- 0:35Speaker 1: changed things. When you're looking at everything, it's such a
- 0:40Speaker 1: gift to be able to look at something and to
- 0:45Speaker 1: love it for the sake of it and nurturing and
- 0:49Speaker 1: maintaining that is one of the hardest tests of any
- 0:56Speaker 1: pro much less for anyone to find right. Is the
- 1:00Speaker 1: Beethoven who never found his piano or harpsichord or right.
- 1:07Speaker 2: There's days you want to go out at her, or
- 1:09Speaker 2: you're sore, or you just suck.
- 1:12Speaker 1: You're not making progress, you're burning into the and you
- 1:15Speaker 1: feel defeated.
- 1:16Speaker 2: But that's the nature of love.
- 1:18Speaker 1: You know it's got hate in there, you know it's
- 1:21Speaker 1: got pain in there, and it draws you to it.
- 1:24Speaker 2: That's the magnetism.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I see people with talent, with all those things, but
- 1:29Speaker 1: the one thing they don't have is that just love
- 1:33Speaker 1: for doing it for the sake of it, and the
- 1:36Speaker 1: sense of obligation to do something with what you're given.
- 1:41Speaker 1: You know, there's something too there. It's important. I think
- 1:48Speaker 1: getting what you want quenches the fire that got you
- 1:50Speaker 1: there often unless it's something replaced by something more permanent,
- 1:58Speaker 1: which becomes more intangible. I think the successes of winning, right,
- 2:02Speaker 1: you want to be the best in the neighborhood, and
- 2:05Speaker 1: then win the local contest, and then whatever whatever, it
- 2:08Speaker 1: just keeps going up, and then by the time you
- 2:09Speaker 1: get there, you can have a stadium screaming your name.
- 2:12Speaker 1: It's actually happened a couple of times to me, and
- 2:15Speaker 1: there is a visceral exhilaration to it.
- 2:18Speaker 2: There is I've experienced that. I know what that's like.
- 2:23Speaker 2: You land a trick in there's it just lights up.
- 2:26Speaker 2: It's crazy. But at the same time it's hollow. It's hollow.
- 2:35Speaker 2: That's not the thing that can drive you, at least.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Not for long.
- 2:40Speaker 1: It's being able to say, oh I had that, I
- 2:43Speaker 1: had a model, or I had people or that or whatever.
- 2:46Speaker 2: All of these honors.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Eventually that stuff phased to just static and you're left
- 2:53Speaker 1: with you and your board. And if you decide that
- 2:55Speaker 1: that's what you love, that's what you're doing, then your
- 2:58Speaker 1: days are numbered. So the trick is to always peel
- 3:02Speaker 1: back of why am I doing this in the first place.
- 3:07Speaker 1: It is easy to say, and I think it's smothering
- 3:09Speaker 1: to say, and often there's a culture of saying that
- 3:12Speaker 1: if it cannot be proven, it must not be possible.
- 3:17Speaker 1: And the big takeaway from that theorem is that there's
- 3:20Speaker 1: lots of things that cannot be proven though they are correct,
- 3:28Speaker 1: because we see things so often in front of us
- 3:32Speaker 1: the way that it should be done, and it imposes
- 3:34Speaker 1: a kind of barrier through what people know and see
- 3:39Speaker 1: a familiarity.
- 3:42Speaker 2: But maybe you.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Can change something within you that can be just outside
- 3:45Speaker 1: a new set of axioms, some new skills set that
- 3:49Speaker 1: will take you further.
- 3:50Speaker 2: And I think that that's the history of development.
- 3:55Speaker 1: And it's interesting how getting what you think you want
- 3:57Speaker 1: can end up being the force that pushes you into
- 4:02Speaker 1: pinch yourselves into a corner, it pushes you into a broom.
- 4:04Speaker 1: There's something terrible to be top of the mountain, I'm
- 4:07Speaker 1: the best, I'm the cane guarding it. As the Nietzsche quote, right,
- 4:11Speaker 1: what's left for you when you make it to the
- 4:12Speaker 1: top but lightning?
- 4:15Speaker 2: You know, it's this admixtures.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Everybody has a unique set of variables that they can
- 4:26Speaker 1: put in place and express their individual identity in a
- 4:30Speaker 1: form of call it greatness. That's something to be remembered.
- 4:36Speaker 1: That's what you look for. So if there's anything, just
- 4:41Speaker 1: find joy in what you do for the sake of it,
- 4:45Speaker 1: and then recognize how you're being shaped in the process,
- 4:48Speaker 1: and hopefully you become a better man through.
- 4:50Speaker 4: You know, it's not fair. It's not fair. Your car
- 4:58Speaker 4: broke down. It's not fair. Your friend passed away.
- 5:02Speaker 5: It's not fair. You were bullied. It's not fair that
- 5:05Speaker 5: your business failed. It's not fair you lost all your money,
- 5:08Speaker 5: and it's not fair that she left you. It's not
- 5:12Speaker 5: fair because life is not fair. So now you know
- 5:17Speaker 5: it's not fair, what are you gonna do? You've already
- 5:20Speaker 5: complained about it. Are you gonna keep whining or are
- 5:23Speaker 5: you going to take accountability for it?
- 5:25Speaker 4: Because what's more.
- 5:26Speaker 5: Whining going to do? What's more complaining gonna do? It's
- 5:29Speaker 5: not gonna change the fact that life can.
- 5:31Speaker 4: Be unfair at times. So what do you need to do?
- 5:36Speaker 5: You need to stop complaining, stop whining, stop playing the victim,
- 5:40Speaker 5: and stop feeling sorry.
- 5:41Speaker 4: For yourself and start taking control.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Start being accountable, start taking responsibility, start changing your situation,
- 5:53Speaker 5: stop complaining about your life, and start working on changing
- 5:55Speaker 5: your life.
- 5:58Speaker 4: Success does not come to those who can plane.
- 6:00Speaker 5: Success comes to those who change their circumstances when needed.
- 6:04Speaker 4: You're not weak your power. You can change your circumstances.
- 6:13Speaker 4: Circumstances don't make you. You make your circumstances.
- 6:20Speaker 6: Do what you can with what you have and where
- 6:23Speaker 6: you are. No one said work twenty percent. No one
- 6:28Speaker 6: said try a little less. Wake up with your own
- 6:32Speaker 6: message in your head. The message that inspires you, inspires
- 6:38Speaker 6: you to work harder, strive for success. Stop waiting for
- 6:43Speaker 6: the right time. The right time is now. Take it now.
- 6:49Speaker 6: Work now, be creative, be strong, be successful.
- 6:55Speaker 3: What do you want to do right now? Do something meaningful, meaningful,
- 7:01Speaker 3: with worth, something that will impact your life.
- 7:05Speaker 6: Impact it for the better, make it better.
- 7:08Speaker 3: You have it in you. Do what you can now,
- 7:12Speaker 3: full of ambition, fulfilled to one hundred percent, No more
- 7:19Speaker 3: than that. Break down the walls that contain you, imprison
- 7:23Speaker 3: you from achieving everything you have ever wanted. Surround yourself
- 7:28Speaker 3: with people who lift you up, people who can see
- 7:32Speaker 3: you rise, people who can see you move forward, not
- 7:40Speaker 3: holding you back, people who move with you, not moving
- 7:45Speaker 3: against you.
- 7:47Speaker 2: For finding friends of similar character and heart. That's important
- 7:52Speaker 2: to me. I strive for that.
- 7:56Speaker 6: Be the person you need to become, feel the strength
- 8:01Speaker 6: you've always wanted to feel. See your courage as a superpower,
- 8:07Speaker 6: a superpower to help you progress, to boost your confidence,
- 8:11Speaker 6: boost your life, upgrade it to be better, more fulfilling life,
- 8:18Speaker 6: one where you and.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Only you are in control.
- 8:22Speaker 1: What you do in these reflexive couplings shapes you. You
- 8:28Speaker 1: shape it, It shapes you. You don't disconnect from that.
- 8:35Speaker 1: You just tumble forward. Over time, you become what you do,
- 8:40Speaker 1: and you find, hopefully at the end of that process,
- 8:44Speaker 1: you're not insufferable, that you actually have something to give
- 8:49Speaker 1: and can be present.
- 8:50Speaker 2: You know. So for all I've done, I.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Appreciate, I don't look at it as much, but ultimately
- 8:58Speaker 1: it just goes out there. It's just what you do.
- 9:04Speaker 1: You just become one with that. I think that's been
- 9:06Speaker 1: a key for me of why I've been able to
- 9:09Speaker 1: sustain this fire that's.
- 9:11Speaker 2: So seemingly easily quenched.
- 9:16Speaker 1: And so when I see people who have had success,
- 9:19Speaker 1: I see boredom for the most part in them, and
- 9:22Speaker 1: then I see a tombstone encircling back to what trophies
- 9:26Speaker 1: and those things represented. Right, Finemen great physicists said that
- 9:30Speaker 1: the Nobel Prize would be the tombstone on all great work.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Just look at it.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I haven't done a study of Academy awards, right, but
- 9:38Speaker 1: usually when you get what you thought you wanted, fire
- 9:41Speaker 1: goes away. I'm honored to have had the rippling impact
- 9:51Speaker 1: that I have helped formulate the language of a community
- 9:56Speaker 1: where others can help shape and express themselves in a
- 10:00Speaker 1: process and connect that to me. For people like me,
- 10:08Speaker 1: that doesn't come easily. But ultimately, I just want to
- 10:14Speaker 1: be a good man. You know, you ever hear that
- 10:19Speaker 1: goofy internet thing? Have found it. It's so stupid stuff
- 10:22Speaker 1: that people send you. Can you name the last Nobel
- 10:25Speaker 1: Prize winners and Olympians, right, but you can name the
- 10:30Speaker 1: fifth grade teacher that had faith in you?
- 10:32Speaker 2: Right? It's the people you touch singulating
- 10:38Speaker 1: That's a bigger test in a way,
