my tree as we run toward it as we work
on a day in and day out they were going
to make a change and then they made it
this is your moment

[Music]
you will ever it
right hold up like only and when that
Dean tells you to quit you look at it as
I say I’m being nowhere I just went
before you went me you would be like the
shot you would think like the shot that
you can’t go backwards and if you stop
swimming you will die
took life knocks you down try and land
on your back because if you can look up
you can get up this is the time for you
to change your life is down always feel
that you cow
always feel that you have worth and
always feel that your life has a
significant you choose what you’re
looking for because what you look for
you find that’s how life works make good
choices great things happen but you
gotta believe in you so I believe when I
look at people always ask the question I
say man tell me what nike stands for
they said I’ll eat that’s easy just do
it I said tell me what a diva stands for
or Inc that’s easy man
impossible it’s nothing I said now tell
me what you stand when people look at
you do they think excuses or people look
at you do they think victory when people
look at you they think that’s a person
that’s gonna give me everything they got
not on Sundays but or every day and it’s
not gonna be predicated upon if I feel
like it because I think we all know if
we only worked on the days we felt like
it none of us did much accomplished
I’m talking about the real level of
commitment not the commitment that falls
in line if everything goes right I’m
speaking of the commitment that says I
am going to stay true to what I said I
would do longer
that I’ve said it in his life see most
people ladies and gentlemen are
stoppable most people are you have to do
is tell them no all you have to do is
make it inconvenience for them all you
have to do is make it difficult for them
in their stuff see when you’re going to
get your goal don’t think that all you
have to do is think positive and
everything’s gonna work out okey dokey
for you when you’re gonna get your goal
you are sending a telegram to Murphy’s
Law to visit you personally you thought
you were just gonna have a dream and a
goal and you were just gonna wake up and
just walk into the sunset
you’re like Trey booth and don’t work
like that you have a tree and then life
pumped you life helps you and say do you
really want this you gonna lose friends
do you really want this do you really
want this cousins gonna bandy people
that you used to be like this with don’t
think you lose you don’t want to deal
with you it’s a part I’ve been but I
paid too much if I was gonna quit I
would have quit in the band and build it
but I wanted to commit suicide to take
my life I should have quit when I heard
my boys say your mama don’t want you
your daddy don’t want to take your life
I got through that so I’m gonna quit
over app on the brain come on and so I’m
telling y’all you have come too far to
quit now you have invested too much to
quit now you have lost too much to quit
now
don’t cry about it don’t worry about it
get a reward for your pain and so by
being committed to everything that I
started I finished it if not the certain
type of spirit it built the certain type
of mentality if a certain type were
individual and so now I could what even
if I wanted to I couldn’t stop even if I
want to I had too much sweat equity in
my life and everything out doing
you’re too close to quit now you gotta
take another lap you gotta take another
lap cuz you never know this might be the
one
you can’t stop cuz you’re tired you
can’t stop cuz you got your feelings
hurt you gotta take another lap you keep
walking keep walking keep walking you’re
gonna make it
you’re gonna do it you got it I stopped
up a fire come on take another lap don’t
you stop go stop walking
[Music]
the people who dream and those people
who dream big have a different kind of
life than the people who don’t drink if
you do not do what you’re doing right
now well your goal is just going to be a
fancy desire isn’t it whether it’s fear
or anxiety whatever it may be I believe
that every single person is going out to
chase their dreams has those voices in
their head I think it’s part of the
human experience
stay strong have faith keep pushing
through I’ve said this before and and
I’m living proof of it is that on the
other side of your struggle is something
good on your other side of your struggle
is something better on the other side of
your struggle is some sort of success so
I’m here to tell you today you can have
anything you want be anyone you want but
you’re gonna have to work see dreams
aspirations they’re not easily attained
but one of the hardest things to do is
to keep going is to keep chasing you
don’t realize your dreams are so
important because your DNA who you are
as a person is wrapped up in your dreams
go after this thing called rights don’t
look back in have regrets understand
that you’re at a place in a position
right now when hard work and valuing
people nothing can stop you I promise
you you have got to make a declaration
this is what you stand for
you’re standing up for your dreams
you’re standing up for peace of
you’re standing up for health you want
it and you’re gonna go all out to have
it so your dream will cause you to go
insane because wish you wore a hood suit
every single night see the big dogs they
won’t kill you the opportunity to go out
to take keeps driving never give up fall
down seven times get up eight no matter
what happens you will not quit because
quitting is not an option because you
have a why you have a packing of a
purpose
the people that are running after that
dream know they’re gonna have hard times
they keep on running because they’re
same within themselves
I’m the one I’m the one no matter how
bad it is or how bad it gets I’m going
to make it
this is your moment and you got a look
in the mirror believe that ease is a
greater threat to progress than hardship
so take advantage of today take
advantage of tomorrow take advantage of
every opportunity that you have to do
what you want in life it’s time to
ignite the Train it’s time for you to
stop settling for just money and really
open your game up Jews require
sacrifices like my city’s expensive move
my car payments are high sell your car
and take the bus
this is greens we’re talking about we’re
talking about dreams success can be a
lonely road
it can be a tough road
it can be a hard road
it’s not for everyone
those who follow others like sheep we
never know who they truly are only those
who follow their own path can discover
their true potential those who fly alone
have the strongest wings
those who walk alone have the strongest
direction the rest will always be in
need of others for their survival
they will always need attention need
recognition to survive I am at peace
alone many no attention no recognition
and still after all I’m not saying those
who have support or weak I’m not saying
you must go at it alone to gain strength
this is just for those who have fought
battles alone those who have felt like
they don’t fit in those who have never
had support in anything they do all of
those who feel no one believes in them
you
don’t need them to believe in you if you
believe in you you don’t need their
support if you’ve got your own bed the
best part is when you truly live the
life you want to live when you speak
your truth when you embrace who you are
then you gain real respect and real love
people love those who have the guts to
be themselves those who have the courage
to follow their heart what it’s rare why
because most people wish they could do
the same show them the way keep going
believe in yourself it will all come
good in here and when it does you won’t
have only inspired yourself to people
you will have inspired so many others
I had to learn to fight alone and
because of that I am strong alone I am
strong
full-stop
I developed inner strength that can’t be
broken I am unbreakable because of the
pain I am strong because of the struggle
I have character most will never know
I appreciate others more than ever I
have more compassion than ever I had to
go deep into the darkness now I have
more depth now I can see clearer I had
to face huge internal challenges now I
can defeat any challenge I will destroy
every challenge I am proud who I’ve
become
I am proud I have overcome I am proud I
kept going I am proud of Who I am who
I’ve become
I am proud I stay true to myself because
now I can live as myself with respect
from others and most importantly pride
and respect from myself
[Music]
I see everyday people with this
mentality that the world owes them
something
the simple answer here is that you need
to work harder and faster there’s really
nothing else life was a series of
choices at that moment that choice was
quite honestly hard work put your head
down and do the training and take the
pain and eventually it’s going to pay
off and on those days where you just got
to get to an impossible to-do list you
really have to feel but if you put your
head down and you take the pain it’s
going to pay off and since I’m going to
do this I’m gonna honest my will and I’m
not gonna let anything stop me I deserve
this hard work is the most precious
asset you have you know while the other
guys sleeping I’m working what other
guys eaten working but it don’t work if
you don’t work I found that nothing in
life is worthwhile unless you take risks
nothing there is no in-between you’re
either growing or you are decaying if
you want something
you have got to be relentless this is a
winners quality you have that quality
within you when you’re hungry you don’t
care about the facts you don’t care
about the odds if you want to be an
anomaly you got to act like one
why do you wanna give it what’s wrong
with you you said your goal was to pass
every class you said your goal was to
never again finish last most people what
they’re doing is they’re all it’s
mountain called success and they’re all
strolling around the bottom of this
mountain and they’re looking for an
elevator to carry them to the top see
they haven’t realized yet that there is
no panella failure and I’m already
halfway up the stairs I’m not getting up
on time I’m not going to work on time
I’m not putting in a hundred a 24-7 on
network I’ve let me now alright if you
work hard and you never give up you can
literally achieve anything break it down
and add just a little water
just a little more focus and just a
little more time management and just a
little more patience just a little more
listening just a little more discipline
to get something you never had you have
to do something you never did you will
fail your way to greatness waiting
miraculously to win the calendar flips
to start making your life better is
silly at best and pisses me off at worst
it is your life nobody else can tell you
what’s best for you and only you will
have to deal with the consequences as
you’ll go through the challenges of life
and you look at it and embrace whatever
comes to you don’t run from it step
toward it don’t try and duck it like
most people do see most people want it
easy see if you either come easy what
easy go when you actually decide to make
a change in your life whether about
weight or job or going out with somebody
with relationships that’s when you
actually pull it off it’s religion not
tactics
you should never want to hang with a
person that they don’t add value into
your life
you should never want material stuff
that don’t add value into your life you
should never want to worship your other
people’s dream more than your dream this
means you’ve gotta work this means you
have to
you got a crime when you don’t have your
life and this in all areas of my old
sports your religion consistency mister
– please there are few people who have
decided within themselves I’m going to
make it some people aren’t waiting to be
cut some people are moving on their own
because they feel within themselves I’ve
got what it takes to make it
you put up with nothing
Oh
[Music]
I speak it – existed
you will understand that you are a
billionaire I changed my name to fillie
in there when I was broke you’ll always
be what you decide to be
[Music]

to the next level we’ve got to rise up
so for you to be passionate your logic
and your emotions need to be intertwined
to some of you guys have the intellect

but you have to have both to be
successful in this business sharks are
hundreds and predators they never stop
swimming in fact if a shark stops
swimming it will die if the shark goes
backwards it will die think like a shark

I’ve been trained to do I’m connected to
a shark I’m connected to the greatest
training organization in the world and
when I get home I’m gonna become
somebody different what do I need to do
you didn’t have a honda self assessment
about what your witnesses are and that’s
how you get to the next level my
sophomore year rolls around we go all
the way to the sweet 16 and I’m the top
six men in the country I’ll go back to
my coach what do I need to do to play in
the NBA the list gets shorter the next
year we went all the way to the Elite

carved out a niche and that’s what
impact players do they make their
community better they make this city

shot you become their shark all I had to
do is have one good year and I’ll walk

break my foot a second time
[Music]
in my mind my college career was over
and my MBA dreams will do I have a seven
points again I got all for the $75,000
job because one of my season ticket
holders liked me right before I took the
job my daddy called me on the phone he

the right time he said you had a tough
year so what’s next I said daddy I’m
gonna be a hospital administrator

not dependent on basketball dad with
boundless dad we’re educated dad I got a
$75,000 job dad

[Music]
they were checking my my cell

like a Easter
was i falling back into that seed lands
do you believe your NBA play I say I did
I do he said well go for it son but but
Dad I never started at college but but

you’re gonna turn their program around
you did it from the bench son you told
me you’re gonna graduate in four years
son
the average student graduating fine I’m
proud of you but you told me is you’re
gonna plane in there and you told me

business than you did in sports
do you believe you may be a ball
[Music]
I do that
go forth one
go for it I go back to my coach’s office
and I said coach what do I need to do to
play in the NBA he teared up
I teared up he said I’ll be honest with
you saying when I recruited you
I heard you as a mama’s boy but you know
in fact he wanted the toughest players
I’ve ever had I’m a Hall of Fame
motivational speaker I go all over the
world running my mouth but he gave me
the greatest compliment I’ve ever
received he said you’re just like your
daddy
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
my daddy was a shark when I was a
Suckerfish but that moment was my
opportunity to turn into a shark myself
if you hang around sharks long enough it
will transform your mindset and I
promise you you will be like a shark you
would think like a shark you can’t go
backwards if you stop swimming you will
die Brown will fini
he can’t go backwards and if he stops
swimming he will die
so ladies and gentlemen you’re connected
to the right shark all you need to do is
be a good sacrifice success is all
around you just pay attention every time
you leave the place of speeding
consciously and subconsciously that
person is debriefing you are you
likeable do you brighten up a room when
you enter and do you brighten up a room
when you leave are you good with people
and don’t you ever be a sailor parasite
which meant those who ever come to this
conference and go back home and do
nothing
and then claim oh I tried and it didn’t
work No
but Cubs basketball coach says son I
think you should be a motivational
speaker I said coach I can talk the rest
of my life what do I need to do to play
in the NBA he said if you do those two
things you’re playing India you got a
better shoot the three-point shot with
range and you got to lose about 15
pounds because you don’t pass the
eyeball test when I talk about the high
ball test I’m not talking about you I’m
talking about me
he says the NBA thinks you’re a football
player trying to play basketball you’re
gonna lose weight to change the
perception I lost 15 pounds and I became
the first-ever undrafted rookie for a
gym in the history of the NBA to start
opening night
