- Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty, nasty place. And I don't care how tough you are. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.
- That's how with it is done. Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute, or an hour, or a day, or even a year. But eventually it will survive and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever. The margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early, you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast, you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can't do something themselves. They want to tell you you can't do it. You want something? Go get period.
Don't be afraid to fail. You can't always win. But don't be afraid of making decisions.
- You have to believe that something different can happen. He who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right. Most of you say you want to be successful. But you don't want it bad. You just kind of want it. You don't want it bader than you want a 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.
- Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Dig deep down.
- Ask yourselves, who do you want to be? figuring out for yourselves what makes you happy? No matter how crazy it may sound to the people.
Make a choice. Right? Just decide what is going to be, who you're going to be, how you're going to do it. Just decide.
- Why not? Why can't I be the mbpl League? Why can't I be the best playing league? Why can't I do that?
What did you say to the kid? It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.
Get up and don't ever give up.
- We can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of hell one inch at a time to be able, at any moment, to sacrifice what you are for what you will become. Most of you won't be successful. Because when you study it and you get tired, you quit. I don't do well in math. You're right. You ain't never study. I'm not good at writing. Because you had never written before. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft. If you are not making someone else's life better, then you're wasting your time. Don't cry to give up. Try to keep going. Don't cry to quit. You already just pain. You already hurt. Get a reward from it. Now if you know what you're worth, not going to kill what's your worth. But you got to be willing to take the hit and not point the fingers saying you ain't where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. cowards do that and then ain't you. You're better than that.
Because every day is a new day. Every woman is a new home. So now you got to go on a showdown and all the different streets.
- Now I'm going to show you how great I am. The 17th chapter of St. Lucas is written the kingdom of God is within man. Not one man nor a group of men, but in all men, in you. You, the people, have the power. The power to create machines. The power to create happiness. You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful. To make this life a wonderful adventure. Now what are you going to do? because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.
