Transcripts
you have an opportunity right now that you won't have a few years from now this
is an opportunity of a lifetime your family are counting on you to study hard
your friends are counting on you to study hard and maybe you don't realize
it yet but your future self is counting on you to study hard and the goal is not
to keep studying until you're contained the idea is not to keep studying until
you become satisfied with your grades you should never be satisfied you should
always be striving for better because the day you become content with your
grades that's the day that you stop evaluating yourself that's the day you
stop growing that's the day that the person trying to catch you will catch
you you have to take advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you
have right now you don't have to be the most talented or the wisest or the
smartest or the wealthiest you don't have to be the most intelligent to get
to the top but you've got a study you have to out study everyone your
classmates might come from money they might have parents that own businesses
they might know people and are able to get them a job but they will not out
study and what you have to do is make a decision then no matter how privileged
or talented anyone else's in your class you're going to out study them but how
do you out study everyone else in your class I'll leave you with the words of
Eric Thomas I've looked at the most successful people in the world and I
realized that they have seven or eight similar things in common and one of the
things they all had in common was that they all had a root
they are obsessed with routine they don't have a gap of wasted time in their
routine they don't grind until 6 p.m. and then played video games for the rest
of the night they're not scrolling mindlessly through Instagram four hours
a day they don't have time that's a poverty mindset successful people don't
waste time they don't watch TV they don't do a lot of entertainment if
they're not working then they're studying or getting better at their
craft so what you have to decide is do you want to be in the 99% or the 1% and
you'll only join the 1% when you start thinking like the 1% working like the 1%
walking what the 1% how you prioritize your studying over the next 365 days
will significantly alter the journey you're on and whether you make it into
the 1% Club Aristotle said you are what you repeatedly do there for excellence
ought to be a habit not an act don't ever forget that as coach Jay said
I'm not your coach right now I'm your conscience you're in a fight between
will and skill I say will first because that's where you are you're locked and
loaded with skill you're studying every day you're putting in your work you're
buying everything your books pins no pets you're making the investment you're
living your dream you're walking like your dream you're surrounding yourself
with your dream you're studying until late and night and waking up early to do
it all over again you've put your work in you've got your skill and now it's
the test of your will it's a mindset thing you're in
right now it's a mindset thing because your challenge isn't moving your
mountain is not moving you don't feel like you're making any progress you're
not physically moving when you see everything else around you and other
people around you moving you're not making progress you're in a test of your
will right now because life says it has a little more tests for you it's no
different because you messed up because you fell off the wagon because you
failed an exam two exams three exams you gave up on your studying you dropped out
last year and you really want your dream to happen and you're putting in your
work and nothing's happening yet this is our moment ladies and gentlemen this
right here is our moment guys you've all got to think about that just for a
minute this right here this moment right here this is our moment to where we make
what we have been dreaming of into reality the exams you have coming it all
starts in your mind you've got to fall back on everything that you've learned
everything that you've prepared for every hour you spend studying for it
you've prepared well for this dreams can become buried under discouragement
buried under past mistakes there are dreams buried under failed exams buried
under low self-esteem it's easy to settle for average grades even though
you have all this potential buried on the inside all of us have things that
we're believing for something we want to accomplish deep down we know it's a part
of our destiny we can feel it so strongly but then we hit some setbacks
we didn't pass the exam our results weren't good enough if you
do your part and start believing again and get your passion back it's on the
way go back and try again the true mark of a champion is even though some dirt
gets thrown on your dream instead of letting it get buried you keep shaking
it off you keep moving forward you keep looking
for new opportunities
