  Speaker 2: The version of you that you are right now is
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: a blessing, but it won't take you to the next level.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: What got you here won't take you there.

  Speaker 1: The first version of Eric.

  Speaker 2: Thomas would never be able to stand in front of

  Speaker 2: you guys. The first version of Eric Thomas, the high
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: school dropout, that guy would have never been able to
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: stand here and help you.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I had to destroy that Eric Thomas.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: See, your problem is you talk a good game.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: But at the first sign of adversity, at the first

  Speaker 3: sign of a setback, at the first sign of a hiccup,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: at the first sign of something not going the way
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: you thought it should go, you quit.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Let the dream destroy you. Let it strip you. Let
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: it remake and mold you. Don't be afraid.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Pain is what's going to lead to that future gain.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: You got to let your dream destroy you. You got
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: to give everything you got.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: are for what we could be.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I don't do well in math. You're right. You ain't
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: never studied.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not good in writing because you have never written before.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: But I dare you to fail in writing for a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: whole year to see if you can get to the end.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I dare you to fail.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I dare you to take that same class over and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: over again. I dare you to stop dropping classes like
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you saw. Would a real Eric Thomas please stand up?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Stop being this high school dropout. Stop giving up. Stop
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: sleeping on the streets and get your GED. Stop being
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: afraid to take a test. Stop being afraid to go
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to college because your.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Daddy didn't go and your mama didn't go.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Stop being afraid and be the best Eric Thomas you
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: can be. But listen to me, it's going to be hard.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: It took me 12 years to get a four-year degree, but.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I got it. And guess what? On a degree, it
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: don't have dates. So if it took you four and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it took me 12, it don't show up nowhere.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: I need you to study like you've never studied before.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I need you up all night long.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Studying getting about three four hours here hour and a
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: half here two hours here You hear me say this
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: all the time, but some of you this is it
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And even you say Eric look man, you understand if
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I put everything.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And I'm still gonna get a 1.0.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you to do it anyway Because you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I told up flunk English three times like when I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: was in college, right?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Flunky the first time and.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I quit when they told me I couldn't pass the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: second time She told me you're gonna flunk. I stayed
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: in there anyway And guess what? As stupid as this
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: might sound, even though you flunk, you learn.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: A new concept, right?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: So that's one or two less concepts I got to
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: learn the next year, right? And finally, that third time,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I clapped it, which means you just take a test.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: And I took the test and I passed it. You
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: don't get it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: You have to give everything you got to get what
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: you want. You have to give everything you don't even
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: realize you have to get where you're trying to go.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Don't you get it? When you do what they want,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: you will have what they don't. When you do what
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: they refuse, they won't have the options that you get
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: to choose. Because those are reserved for those who choose
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: to move when others choose to stand still. Those are
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: reserved for those that choose to get up when so
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: many others couldn't find the strength to lift up and
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: give more.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And when you get to the point where all you want.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: To do is be successful, as bad as you want
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: to breathe, then you'll be successful. And I'm here to
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: tell you, number one, that most of you say you
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: want to be successful, but you don't want it bad.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: You just kind of want it. You don't want it
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: badder than you want to party. You don't want it
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: as much as you want to be cool.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Most of you don't want success as much as you
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: want to sleep.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Some of you, you can make sacrifices when Monday Night
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Football is not on. You can make a sacrifice. But
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: when the game come on, for some reason, you just
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: attach to it. You can make sacrifices on Sunday when
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: ain't nothing going on. But when your favorite show comes
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: on Monday, bam, some of you, you focus into the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: phone ring.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: And then you like, I gotta answer it. If I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: don't answer the phone, I'm gonna die.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I'm saying to you today that there are some of you,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: if you give up your cell phone, you would be successful.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: But your cell phone is more important to you than
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: your success. You have to give it everything you got.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: No more TV, no more parties, no more playing. If
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: you don't have a 4.0, what you need to be
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: doing is studying.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Get off the phone. I'm sorry, I'm not available until
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the end of this year. No, I'm for real.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: You've reached the right number, but you called me at
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the wrong time. Call me back January 1st. I'm about
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: to get busy now. Every time you ever got in trouble,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: somebody in your house got you out of it. Every
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: time you've done something you're not supposed to do. People say, Eric,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: your mother's a tyrant.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You're right. She kicked me out. You're right. She's mean,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: but she developed a man.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Because she put me out there and said, you're going
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to have.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: To grow up. And some of you have never learned
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to grow up. And so every time something get hard,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you quit.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: You call mama. I dare you to take a little pain.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I dare you. I dare you not to go home.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Somebody said, I got to go home. I feel bad.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Go through it. You ain't going to die at the end.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Of pain and success.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You're not going to die because you're feeling a little pain.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: So let this be.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: The time that you lift yourself back up. You did
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: it over and over again. Why stop now?
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: You're too close.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Success is right around the corner. And even if it
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: takes a little bit longer to get there.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It's okay, it's coming.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I gotta commit my very being to this thing. I
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: gotta breathe it, I gotta eat it, I gotta sleep it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And until you get there, you'll never be successful in life.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: But once you get there, I guarantee you, the world
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: is yours.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: You already know sometimes you got to disappear for three months.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you got to disappear for six months. Sometimes you
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: got to disappear for nine months. Sometimes you got to
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: disappear for a whole year, two years, and then emerge.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: The new you.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: The new and improved you. On an entirely different level. See,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: your dream is like a muscle. And sometimes you got
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: to let that muscle get broke down.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: The greats?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: They don't even start counting the reps until it hurts
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: because they understand that pain is what's going to lead
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: to that future gain.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: So from this day forward, excuses are for the weak.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: So starting right now, not tomorrow, not next.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Week, I need you to vow to keep going.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It's when you have nothing left.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: It's when you depleted all your money, when all your
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: energy gone, when you have nothing left, that's when it's showtime.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: When you want this thing as bad as you want
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: to breathe, that's when you find a way. Listen to
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: me very closely. You got to change that mindset.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
