• 0:03
  Speaker 1: So I ain't going to lie, I was scared to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: get the master's degree. I was scared to get the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: PhD because I couldn't really write that well. Right? And
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I was like, I told my professor, what happens if
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I fail? He said, what happens if you pass? I said,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: but what happened if I don't get it? What happened
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: if I put in all these years and it don't
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: work out? He said, but what happens if you put
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: in all these years and you get it? That's what
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: happened for Eric Thomas. My values about learning change. I
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: realized that information changes situations. And so I'd rather buy
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a book than buy a house. Because if I buy
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: a book, I can buy several homes. You could burn
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: my house down and it wouldn't bother me. Well, how
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: do I know? I had a home that a tornado
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: tore down in Alabama. It didn't bother me. Why? Because
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: we have the blueprint and they can rebuild it. You
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: can take all my money off the bank. It might
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: hit me. We'll be all right. I can make more money.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: If you take the knowledge out of my head and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: take the experiences that I have, I'm broke. I'm nothing.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: You got the same operating system you had since 1995.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: You don't think any different. You don't speak any different.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: You're the exact same person you were in 2010. You
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: got to grow up. You got to be a morning person,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: afternoon person, night person. You got to be a home person,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: on the road person. You got to be when you
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: feel good person, when you sick person, when you tired person.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I took it offensive. My man looked at me, you tired.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, have you lost your mind? I'm about
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to kill it. I love my life. Y'all got to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: start loving your life. And whether you make it to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the league or not, you are not who you are
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: because of the league. You are who you are because
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of who you are. And if you make it to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the league, then the league is going to be blessed
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: with your presence. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Be
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: comfortable in who you are. I use that to my
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: advantage that I was a high school dropout, that I
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: was homeless, that I ate out of trash cans. I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: love dealing with a dude who think because he come
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: from money, he better than me. Let's go. Let's go.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You got money, but do you got that dog? Yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you got money, you got print, but do you got
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that dog? Do you got that stamina? So yeah, you
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: might have something I don't have right now, but if
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I work hard, I can have what you have. The
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: human brain is phenomenal. And it could think like of
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a million and something different things, right? It's just, it's explosive.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: But the one thing it cannot do is it cannot
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: think of two ideas at the exact same time. It
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: does not have the capacity to think of two things
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: at once. Now it has the capacity in the hour
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to think about a whole bunch of stuff. But at
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: one particular moment, it cannot think about more than one thing.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: So if you're having a bad day or having a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: bad moment, it means you're probably focusing on what? Whatever
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: that bad thing is, that's what you're focusing on. I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: need that same energy. And that's what's going wrong. When
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: something negative happens in your life, you're giving it mad energy.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: When something good happens, you're acting like it's supposed to happen.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: That's why your life's messed up. Because you focus on
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the stuff that's wrong. You're not putting the same energy
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: on what's right. What are you going to do to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: separate yourself? Like I do things to separate myself from everybody.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: The passion that I have when I speak. The grind
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that I have when I do what I do. Right?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that is for you. I got kids.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: The decisions I make. My son has to deal with
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the decisions I make. My daughter has to deal with
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the decisions I make. Your mama and daddy and your
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: family have to deal with the decisions you make. So tomorrow,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you start training. Train like this kid. It's your life,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: not a game. Like, it's your life. Like, it's the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: last opportunity, the only opportunity. Give it everything you got.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And if you fail, you can at least do what?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Come on, you can say what? You tried. But if
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you don't go out there and give 120%, you're not
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a man. A man don't always put forth effort and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: accomplish his goals. As men, we fail too. We don't
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: always do everything perfect, but if you're a real man,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you try. Johnny, I want to hear they out there
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: handling that rock like ee. They monsters, ee. They like
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: freaks out here, ee. Like they going hard, ee. That's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: all I want. And when I go back, my wife
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: will notice a difference. My kids will know a difference. Why?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with improvement. Every day I'm getting better. So
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: there are people all day. People are E.T. Bro, you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: do not want to be me. You're not ready for
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: this grind, bro. So you have to learn how to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: control yourself. And so y'all know my circumstances. I'm not
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: here because I'm sweet. I'm here because one day I
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: was like, yo, you need to get a control of this, bro.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: You need to get control of your life. You do
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: not have control.
