There was a young man who wanted to make alotta money and so he went to this guru right. And he told the guru “i wannna be on the same level you on”. And the guru said “if you wanna be on the same level i’m on, ill meet you tomorrow at the beach at 4am” He like, “the beach? I wanna make money, i dont wanna swim” Guru said, “if you wanna make money, I’ll meet you tomorrow, 4am” And so the young man got there at 4am, he all ready to rock n roll, got on a suit (shoulda wore shorts). The old man grabs his hand he says “how bad do you wanna be successful?” He said “real bad” He said “walk on out into the water”. So he walks out into the water. When he walks out into the water it goes waist deep” So he like “this guy crazy, I wanna make money, he got me out here swimmin…i ddnt ask to be a lifeguard. I wanna make money” He said “come out a little further” So he walked out a little further till it was right around his shoulder area. (So this old man crazy, he makin money but he crazy). He said “come out a little further”, He came out a little further and it was right at his mouth. He’s like “im bout to get outta here this guy outta his mind”. So the old man said “i thought you wanted to be successful?” he said “i do” he said “walk a little further” he came, dropped his head in, held him down, holdin him, (this guys kickin and scratching)……. JUST before he was about to pass out, he raised him up. He said “I got a question for you, when you were underwater, what did you wanna do?” He said “i wanted to breathe”. He told the guy “when you wanna succeed AS BAD AS you wanna breathe, THEN YOULL BE SUCCESSFUL.”
The only thing you thing you care about when you tryna breathe is to get some fresh air. And when you get to the point where all you wanna do is be successful as bad as you wanna breathe, THEN YOULL BE SUCCESSFUL.
Most of you say you wanna be successful, but you dont want it bad, you just kinda want it. You dont want it badder then you wanna party, you dont want it as much as you wanna be cool. Most of you dont want success as much as you wanna sleep. Some of you love sleep more then you love success. IF YOURE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL YOU GOTTA BE WILLING TO GIVE UP SLEEP. You gotta be willing to work off of 3hrs of sleep..2hrs. If you REALLY wanna be successful, some days you gonna have to stay up 3days in a row. Because if you go to sleep, YOU MIGHT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE SUCCESSFUL. Thats how bad you gotta want it. You gotta wanna be successful so bad, that you forget to eat.
“Sleep is for those people who are broke, I dont sleep….. I got an opportunity to make a dream a reality”.
Most of you wont be successful because when you studying, and you get tired, you QUIT. DONT cry to give up, cry to keep going. DONT cry to quit, you already in pain, GET A REWARD FROM IT….. DONT GO TO SLEEP UNTIL YOU ARE SUCCEED.
