  Speaker 1: All of us have motivation of some sort. I define
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: motivation as the desire to achieve that which you'd believe
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to be worthwhile. And many people go through life never
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: getting in touch with greatness because of the lack of
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: motivation to push themselves, or because they have not found
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: something that they believe to be worthwhile to challenge them.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I believe that's the single most important element that separates
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the quality of people's lives. It's not just the be
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: able to have hunger, but to sustain it. Hunger means
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: that you want more, You want more of yourself, you
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: want to make a bigger difference, you want to be
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: a better parent, you want to you want to do
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: something more than there is today, and that you don't
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: get satisfied. Most people start out with hunger at early
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: stage of life or they lose it. But the people
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: that come to me are hungry, either because something's happened,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: they've had a birthday with a zero on it, they've
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: gone through a divorce, they're starting a business and they
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: know I've got to have a different level, or they're
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the best in the world and they're always looking for that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: That makes the difference.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: One of the things that we must do is that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: we must be involved in working on achieving self. Master
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You must work on yourself continuously. Never be satisfied with yourself.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Always know that as you invest the effort in time
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: on you, that's the greatest ability that human beings have.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Above animies say, a dog can't be anything but a dog.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Tree can't be anything but a tree. Human being, you've
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: got unlimited potential. You can put effort on you, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: by concentrating on you and developing you, you can transform your.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Life wherever you are right now.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: You want to do anything worthwhile in life, you've got
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to be hungry.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: You got to be hungry.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Begin to know that you have greatness within you, and
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: if just one of you here, begin to envision yourselves
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: as being blessed and highly favored to meet your goal.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: If just one of.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: You capture the essence of what that means, that you
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: have greatness within you and the responsibility to manifest that greatness,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: that you can make your parents froud, You can make
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: your school route, you can touch millions of people's lives,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: and the world will never be the same again because
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: you'll pay this way.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: True champions get hungrier every time they win.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: Winners dominate users, lesionds dominate winners.
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: Now is your time. Now's the time where the talking
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: is done. Now is the moment where where you got
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: to make a decision. And the decision is simply this,
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: Are you ready to take the next step.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: One of my favorite quotes is by Henry Wardsworth Longfellow.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: He said, the heights by great men reached and kept
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: companions slept, were toiling upward in the night. What does
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: that mean? You got to work. You got to do
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: some doing this. You can't just sit around and hope
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: it'll happen. One of the steps, one of the actions
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: you need to take is called asking.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: And many of us see, we wrote a.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: Book, Mark and I wrote a book called dere to Whim,
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: and it was a book of all these kind of things.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: And people went out and they read the book, and
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: still a lot of people weren't successful.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: And we thought, what's the problem here?
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: And as we began to analyze and interview people, we
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: realized one of the main things that was blocking most
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: people was the fear of asking for.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: What they wanted. They wouldn't go up and just say,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: can I borrow money?
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: Will you support my dream? Will you volunteer for school?
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Will you lend me your car? Whatever it is they need.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: They were so afraid of being rejected, and so we
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: wrote a book called the Aladdin.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Factor, How to Ask for and Get Everything you Want.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: And we were doing all that research, we ran across
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: the girl named Marquita Andrews. And Marquita Andrews was the
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: living example.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: Of what we call gass gas gas gas gas gas
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: gas gas gas gas gas gas gas gas gas gas
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: gas because you're gonna have to ask a lot of people.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: And Marquita, her mother, when she was a little girl,
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: came up to her and said.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: You know, Marquita, I have a dream.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: My dream is to travel around the world. But I
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: also have a dream for you. I want you to
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: graduate college. Problem is, I'm a waitress. I don't see
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: how I can underwrite both dreams on a waitress's salary.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: But I'll make a deal with you.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: If you'll go to college and agree that after you graduate,
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: you'll take twenty five percent of your income for the
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: first number of years and put that in savings to
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: send me around the world. Then I'll pay for your
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: college education. But if you're not willing to do that,
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: then I don't know if I want to pay for
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: your college education. Well what is she? She's like seven
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: or nine at the time. She goes, sure deal.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Well, later that year she joins the Brownie Scouts, and
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: the Browns are part of the Girl Scouts, and they
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: came out with their annual cookie drive and they had
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: a contest that year a girl who sells most cookies
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: windstrip for two around world. Marquita says, I'm getting out
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: of this one easy, right, So she starts selling cookies
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: like you can't believe now. In her first year as
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: a Brownie Scout, she sold three thousand, five hundred and
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: twenty six boxes of girlsc Cott cookies.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Someone just said, no.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Way, most women who sold Girlscot cookies. If you sell
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: three or four hundred boxes, that is a big deal.
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: Three thousand, five hundred and twenty six. How'd she do it?
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: Ass gas gas gas gas gas gas gas gas. She
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: lived in New York, high population concentration, right. She would
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: go into high rise apartment buildings and condos, and as
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: people would come down in the morning and back from work,
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: she would just be there do you buy your cookies yet?
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Do you buy your cookies yet? When you want to
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: buy some cookies? And if she bought one, they said,
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: we want to buy two. Don't you know people, she
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: would just ask gas gas. Then one day she finds
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: herself at fourteen years old, she wrote a book called
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: how to Sell More Cookies, Condos, catalyzed computers and everything else.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: And she was the keynote speaker at Radio City Music
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: Hall to the million dollar round table of insurance salesmen,
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: all people who'd sold over a million dollars in commissions
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: and all this stuff.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: And she's up.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: They're talking with a thousand people again. Of her talk,
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: she says, I want you all to look under your seat.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: You'll find a three by five car, take that out
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: and write a number between five and ten on the cart.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: So everybody did, and she said, that's how many boxes
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: of the Girl Scout cookies.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I want you to buy from me today as you
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: leave there.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: That day she sold seven thousand boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: She's in the Guinness Book of World Records.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: Before she retired, she sold over thirty two thousand boxes.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: Not astounding, hasn't been beaten yet, but what does you do?
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: Ask gas gas gas gas gas gas gus gas very
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: powerful tool. Now she had one final clause, a little phrase.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: She says, swswswsw What does that mean?
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Some will, some won't. So what someone's waiting?
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: So if you ask enough people, eventually someone's going to
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: say yes. If I asked everyone in this room, do
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: you have a red car, eventually someone would say yes.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. If you ask enough people are going
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: to get your GAMN.
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: I don't think that equality of opportunity is a problem.
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: I think that's a great thing, and that anyone with
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: any sense champions equality of opportunity. I mean, even if
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: you're purely selfish, say and purely self centered, you'd want
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: to set up an economy where everyone who had ability
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: could be maximally exploited by everyone else, because then we
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: can all benefit from each other's talents. And so equality
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: of opportunity is an absolutely useful, fundamental principle. But that
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: has nothing to do with equality of outcome. Those things
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: aren't even in the same conceptual universe. And to strive
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: for equality of outcome is well, it's a fool's game
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: and likely to be Extraordinarily it has proved to be
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: in the past extraordinarily dangerous as well as impossible.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, one of the things.
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: We know, for example, is that I don't know to
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: what degree it's common knowledge in Scandinavia, but the biggest
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: differences between men and women in the world in terms
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: of ten and interest are in Scandinavia, and they've maximized
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: as a consequence of your egalitarian policies.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Well, what do you mean by that?
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: It means that the more egalitarian your state, the bigger
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: the personality differences between men and women.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: That's like the how do you measure that? How do
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: you know that? Oh?
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: Well, psychologists have perfected, at least to some degree, the
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: measure of personality over the last thirty years with very
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: advanced statistical models. And so what you do is you
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: offer men and women well validated tests of preference and
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: of personality, and you do that all across the world
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: with tens of thousands of people in multi country samples,
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: and then you look at the difference between men and
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: women and then you rank order that by wealth and
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: egalitarian social policy. And what you find is the more
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: egalitarian the society, the more different the men and women become.
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: I think that equality of opportunity is a perfectly reasonable proposition.
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: I mean, I have a daughter and a wife, I
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: do everything. I've bought many many female clients who I've
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: consulted with and helped and in many cases accelerated, helped
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: accelerate the development of their career tremendously. It's obviously of
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: great utility to encourage forward striving in young people and
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: people in general. That's not the issue in the leadst The.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Issue is the outcome.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, then why do you think the outcome and
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: these countries where the outcome is more equal, why do
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: you think that leads to a bigger difference.
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: Between Oh, because there's only two reasons that men and
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: women differ. One is cultural and the other is biological.
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: And if you minimize the cultural differences, you maximize the
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: biological differences. So I know everyone's shocked when they hear this.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: This isn't shocking news.
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: People have known this in the scientific community for at
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: least twenty five years, and it's been replicated in the
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: last month three times in three separate samples, including in Science,
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: which is the world's greatest scientific magazine a large margin.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And it isn't a small effect.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: It's a huge effect.
