There was a young man, who wanna make a lot of money. And so, he went to this guru. He told the guru “I wanna be at the same level as you are”. And so the guru said, “If you want to be at the same level as me, I’ll meet you tomorrow at the beach”.
So that young man got there at 4am, he’s already ready to rock and roll, got on a suit (he should’ve wore shorts). The old man grabbed his hands and said “How bad do you want to be successful?”. He said “Real bad”. The guru said “Walk on out into the water”.
So he walks out into the water and when he walks out into the water, it goes waist deep. And he was like “This guy’s crazy” and went “Hey, I got you to teach me how to make money, but you are teaching me how to swim. I didn’t ask to be a lifeguard. I want to make money!”. He went “Come out a little further” and the young man walked out a little further where the water is deeper. And he was like “This old man is crazy”. The old man said “Come out a little further” and he went a little further. The water was right at his mouth. The young man went “I don’t want to proceed anymore” and the old man said “I thought you want to be successful!”. And the young man said “I do!”. And the old man went “Then, walk a little front”. The young man did, dropped his head in the water and the old man held him down, he had him held down, just when the young man was about to pass out, he raised him up.
He told the guy “When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful”.

If you ever have an ashtma attack before, you’re short of breath, you’re wheezing. The only thing you are trying to do, is get some air. You don’t care about no basketball game, you don’t care what’s on the TV, you don’t care about the parties… The only thing you care about when you are trying to breathe, is to get some fresh air. That’s it. And when you get to the point when all you want to do is to be successful as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful.
————————————
Most of you said that you want to be successful, but you don’t want it bad. You just kinda want it. You don’t want it bad 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! Somebody loves sleep more than they love success.
One thing to be told: If you are wanna be successful, you have to be willing to give up sleep.
You gotta be willing to work on having 3 hours or 2 hours of sleep. If you really want to be successful, someday you might even have to stay up 3 days in a row. Because if you go to sleep, you might miss the opportunity to be successful.
You gotta want to be successful so bad, that you forget to eat.
That’s how bad you gotta want it.
Don’t try to quit! You are already in pain, you are already hurt! Get through all of it.
