There was a young man and he wanted to make a lot of money so he went to this guru. He told the guru "You know, I want to be on the same level you are"
And the guru said "If you want to be on the same level I'm on; I'll meet you tomorrow at the beach"
So the young man got there at 4am, he's all ready to rock and roll. He's got on a suit, he should have worn shorts. The old man grabs his hand and says,
"How bad do you want to be successful?"
"Real bad" the young man replied
"Walk on out into the water"
So he walks on out into the water and it goes waist deep and he says "Damn, this guy's crazy." He thought to himself "Man I want to make money and he's got me out here swimmin'. I didn't ask to be a life guard, I want to make MONEY."
The old guru says "Come on out a little farther"
The young man walked out a little farther and the water was right around his should area. He thought "This old man's crazy. He's making money but he's crazy."
"Come out a little bit farther"
So he came out a little farther and it was right at his mouth. The young man said "Man I'm about to go back in, he's out of his mind"
The old man said "I thought you wanted to be successful?"
The young man said "I DO"
The old man then grabbed the young man, dropped his head under water and held him down. The young man was being held down, didn't scratch at the old man and just before he was about to pass out, the old man raised him up.
He said "I want to tell ya somethin," he went on "When you want to succeed, as bad as you want to breathe, THEN you will be successful."
When you get to the point that all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful.
I'm here to tell you, number one, that most of you say you want to be successful, but you don't dwant it bad, you just kinda want it. You don't want it more than you want to party, you don't want it as much as you want to be cool, most of you don't want success as much as you want to sleep. Some of you love sleep more than you love success. And I'm here to tell you today that if you want to be successful you have got to be willing to give up sleep. You have to be willing to work off 2 hours, 3 hours of sleep. And if you really want to be successful, some days you're going to have to stay up 3 days in a row. Because if you go to sleep, you might miss the opportunity to be successful. That's how bad you've got to want it. You've got to want to be successful so bad, you forget to eat.
Beyonce said once she was on the set doin her thing, 3 days had gone by, she forgot she didn't eat. Because she was engaged.
I'll never forget 50 cent was doing his movie, I did research on 50, and 50 said that when he wasn't doing the movie, he was doing the soundtrack.
Someone asked him "When do you sleep 50?"
"Sleep?" he says "Sleep? Sleep is for those people who are broke. I don't sleep. I've got an opportunity to turn this dream into reality."
Don't go to sleep until you're successful. Don't try to quit, you're already in pain, you're already hurt, get a reward from it. Don't go to sleep until you succeed
