IT’S TIME TO STAY FOCUSED – Best Motivational Video
[Music]
if you concentrate solely on your career
you can get a long way in your career
and I would say that that’s a strategy
that a minority of men preferentially do
that that’s all they do they worked like
70 80 hours a week they go flat out on
their career they’re staking everything
on the small probability of the
exceptional status in a narrow domain
but it’s hard on them they don’t have a
life it’s very difficult for them to
have a family they don’t know how to
take any leisure activity like they get
very one-dimension now it may be that
that unit dimensionality is the price
you have to pay to be exceptional at one
thing right because if you’re going to
be something like a genius level
mathematician and you want to do that
for a scientist say it’s like you’re in
your lab you’re in your lab all the time
you’re working 70 hours a week for 80
hours a week you’re smart you’re
dedicated your unit dimensional and
that’s how you get to beat all the other
people who are doing that it’s the only
way but the problem is you don’t get a
life
now if you love being a scientist and
you have that kind of focus of mind well
first of all you’re a rare person and
second you’re gonna pay for it but find
more power to you but it’s a risky
business to do that you sacrifice a lot
for it
are we just the little fishes abandoning
ourselves to the waves to sing and dance
and play is that what we’re doing and
I’m not saying don’t have fun I’m not
saying don’t sing and dance and play
enjoy life of course and relish the joy
of life but I think you have to make
sure you don’t dance your life away
never stray from the way
I think that that’s what this is about
all the fun and the singing and the
dancing and all the play it’s okay but
all those things can be distractions
because there is a path there is a way
and you know what that way is you know
what you should be doing and it’s a hard
to stay on that path because it is the
path of discipline and discomfort but it
is the right path and you know that
and it is that path that will ultimately
lead you to where you really want to be
it’s time to stay focused it’s time to
decide
fuck clubs fuck party and fuck trying to
fit in and socialize rub elbows with
everybody so people can stop calling in
weird
why are you so antisocial because I’m
trying to get it why are you staying on
the basketball court so much because I’m
trying to get it why are you out there
practicing in the hot Sun when ain’t
nobody else out there because I’m trying
to get it these clubs these parties all
this shit ain’t going nowhere
the more weird you are is a reflection
of how committed you are to focusing on
your shit molding and shaping and
developing your ideas and your crap
so they want it’s time for you to make
your rounds you gonna fly
you still got work to do stay on that
basketball stay on that football fuck
all the homies Texan and call them and
trying to make you feel bad about being
so focused
it’s grind season home it’s not about
today it’s about the future do the work
now do the work now and all of the shit
that you could ever want to do for your
family your kids your loved ones it’s
all gonna be on a whole nother
stratosphere it’s time to stay focused
