Les Brown Speech Transcripts

Good Evening

I want you to sit right here because I know as I do this material here once you do it three times its yours

I so I want to be close to me

I want you to look at someone on your right and left and shake their hands and say “I’m doing better than good and better than most”

Let’s do that I quickly you.

Alright, I like to talk with you this evening about being hungry surmise that I’m hungry. It is something I like to share some ideas and thoughts with you

I’m not asking that you believe anything that I say I’m not asking

that you agree with me I’m really asking that you

stand on and end the conversation that we share with you this evening

and if there’s something that I say that can fit and work for you Isaiah’s it if not discarded let it be

is that alright say that’s fair enough

very good ha right what are the things I him

realize and many of us have that if you want something out of life

if you want to change your cell if you want to acquire something

FS some goal that you want to reach that is really much

easy as some people make us feel better living a dream

changing your behaviors

overcoming negative habits it’s challenging, its hard

but living alone is just very difficult lead once we began to come to grips with

the fact

that eleven years typical like this

very challenging I heard a song once by god named locals call

if it ain’t one thing its another

I say to you by name one thing is 12 hours

always something you will never ever

have a problem free moment in life some I still I like this that you either

in a problem or just love what I had to walk away

I

anybody found it to be so raise your hand if you know what I’m talking about

on there’s always something

so how do we began to nurture that hunger go what are the characteristics of the

qualities

2:44

a people that a Homeric what will it take for me to get some other things

2:47

that I walked

2:48

and being home with formal sayings number one you gotta work on yourself

2:53

is very important that you engage in an ongoing process

2:58

to develop you spend more time on yourself than what you’ve been spending

3:02

it’s very important you all that to yourself I was reading the book bob

3:07

Mandy no call

3:08

the University of success read one line gave me a chill I didn’t have to read

3:12

anything else in the book

3:13

he said many of us never realize our greatness because we become

3:17

sidetracked by secondary activity we spread all sales tool fan

3:22

don’t know how to say no and we find ourselves doing all kinds of things

3:28

and never ever have time to do those things that we need to know

3:31

to work on how cells and then there goes a second that goes another second there

3:35

goes another second we can stop in all time and before you know it you wake up

3:39

one day be back home in your dreams

3:41

so decide what you want to take some time to work on you that you deserve

3:52

3:53

from yourself but your life deserves

3:56

some prime-time because you are creating your own production

as Michael Todd would say you are the star your show you are the direct to

4:04

your writing the script and you will determine whether your life is

4:09

a smash office hit of flop

4:12

you determine that working on yourself talking to your cell

4:17

that so very important overcoming the negative conversation that a no dialogue

4:23

is going on all the time all the time

4:26

even when you don’t want to be there you can stop yourself right now

4:30

from thinking you can’t do it it’s going all

4:33

and so learning how to empower yourself

4:36

pot of doing that is standing up to your cell

8:49

I used to do door-to-door sales and

8:53

I was working with another friend of mine am

8:57

door-to-door sales I mean its punishing

9:00

is cool and unusual punishment

9:03

now’s a lowboy knock on door hello would you like to buy nice work in television

9:07

said no money down

9:09

my all down this man the Dona face and a friend of mine I was working with me

9:14

they slammed the door on his face and knocked look back and he was gone to the

9:18

car

9:18

he said I can do this and he set down

9:22

in the car and he said you go ahead I’ll be here when you get back

9:25

now you had a mother and father to take here my mother was ill

9:30

I’m adopted I was hungry I had to go on I learned something about myself

9:37

that when you step into your fear somebody said it was once in Churchill

9:42

he said that courage

9:43

is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm

9:48

when you step into your fears

9:54

and continue to push yourself

9:57

to go all something happens for you it will enable you to transcend yourself

10:03

I went to a Maxtor you like to buy a nice working W

10:06

all down went to the next 10 back after while

10:10

I no longer took it personal %ah

10:19

and I began to play a game I say well I know there’s a yes out here somewhere

10:24

and I’m gonna keep on telephonic and I’m not going home until I do

10:28

and i can tell it to knock on doors and then somebody eventually would say yes

10:34

and I said are you sure and I would go on then I would get the sale

10:40

when you when you have something you want to do

10:43

if you don’t develop the courage

10:47

to do that which has been given you to do and you spent a lot of time going

10:51

around trying to convince

10:52

other people trying to get their approval what will happen is that you

10:56

will lose your nerve

10:58

and other people will convince you that what you’re doing doesn’t have any value

11:03

and you give up on your dream is an interesting thing about life I’ve also

11:07

found

11:07

that if you don’t have the courage to act

11:10

sometimes and particularly if you have something special to do

11:16

life will move on you i’d

11:22

AP if if it were not for life I would still be a disc jockey

11:26

I N Jess leave voluntarily to go to the state legislature

11:29

I was fired

11:34

I was working on a job and I came home one day I was married at the time

11:39

not to a home a wife I say that got burned I work for

11:42

is still open she said if he so stupid what is this an your paycheck

11:46

now you see why the war start right

11:54

I couldn’t stand her

11:59

that night I could not sleep well here was a guy that was controlling my life

12:05

I was going to walk on it changes

12:09

because this man control my paycheck and it was Carlisle who said shortcrust

12:16

earth shall rise again

12:18

once in Churchill said the truth is incontrovertible

12:21

malice may attack it ignorance may deride it but i think %um their ears

12:26

and when all Scripture say he shall know the truth and the truth shall set you

12:30

free

12:31

and the truth that I had to come to grips with

12:34

that I wasn’t in Sharjah my destiny

12:37

bucks all the laws that I wasn’t given all that I had

12:42

the truth was that there are some things I want to do

12:45

but I have the courage to act on those things

12:48

and the job loss at bar Charles was a blessing to me

12:53

he married life so miserable for me I had to start looking at my life

12:57

differently

12:58

I started going to work earlier Astana being the last one to leave their

13:03

ha started working harder than anybody else the other guys could now why would

13:08

you want all glass

13:09

I said I’m not working for them I have been shooting Burke

13:13

I thought I’ve been shooting myself and my family wherever you are whatever

13:17

you’re doing

13:18

door with everything that you have develop the habit

13:21

up giving more than what you paid for

13:25

developed a habit of setting standards that others will be measured by someone

13:29

said do not go where the path may lead

13:31

but go where there’s no path and leave a trail alright it is easy to the magazine

13:43

today

13:43

it is easy to have a low around today

13:46

how’s their cooperation in there their lines or downsizing and going to lay off

13:50

some

13:50

1500 people over the next few weeks is rather depressing there

13:54

and those people that stay there nine times out of ten man just gonna do just

13:59

enough to keep from getting fired

14:01

everybody can do that but if you can begin to harsh yourself

14:06

and say that where I am I’m going to do the best I can with what I got because

14:11

that is an expression of who I am if you get into the habit

14:16

up just being mediocre it will become a part of your consciousness

14:20

if you get in the habit of giving less than what you have a with a meal

14:23

together

14:24

they will begin to reflect itself can your personality

14:28

it will begin to damage you psychologically

14:32

and you want to be a part of that kind of self-destructive behavior

14:36

and so you wanna set some high standards

14:40

for yourself the next thing potom what feeds

14:43

that homegirl you’ve got to develop a sense of urgency

14:47

a rail you said stop living your life like you have a thousand years too late

14:52

and live you here today

14:55

and you go on today this is something that you wanna join you can’t do it all

15:00

at one time

15:01

don’t just a little bit other I like when Robert Schuller says he said by the

15:05

yard is hot

15:06

but %eh by inch anything is a sash do just a little bit other

15:12

a from the mind-body charges to be a roommate Bobby wanted to go into the

15:16

area public relations see love working with the public

15:19

young lady who are to marry name Clarisse bobby was a great

15:24

procrastinator

15:25

pretty soma job what Bobby work they transferred him to another location

15:30

he went out to celebrate whether people on that new job site

15:34

and Bobby suffered a massive heart attack and I

15:37

Bobby didn’t rank in dense smoke was under 40

15:40

any died ask you a question how much time do you have left

15:45

how much time do you have left when you stop thinking about that we don’t know

15:52

we don’t know but we talk all the greatness

15:55

and all of the Taliban all of his abilities to his grave with me

15:58

one other thing that could’ve put in parenthesis under his name

16:02

he did your mom has stopped mocha Mostafa still there

16:07

most of us don’t use to stuff that we have brought into the universe

16:12

and we want to make a conscious deliberate determined effort to start

16:17

living life with a sense of urgency

16:19

any using what we’ve got using now sells

16:24

up sharing what we brought into the universe to share

16:27

because if we don’t nobody else will stop wasting valuable time

16:35

knowing that if we begin to live our lives escape

16:39

each day while less allies will take all

16:42

take on a whole new meaning take on a whole new

16:48

expression valuing

16:51

each moment but we are blessed with

16:55

the next thing that begins to nurture that hunger

16:59

are yourself as your work

17:02

don’t give your word out likely when you pour your heart out there and you don’t

17:07

honor it

17:08

it makes a statement about you if you decide

17:13

to maintain a sense of integrity with yourself

17:18

that if I speak at

17:21

I’m going to live it to I am

17:25

and I’m going to be very cautious and how I give my word to others

17:30

most a mall with the commitments that I make to myself

17:35

because I want my life to reflect my words

17:38

and honoring who I am in what I express

17:43

another challenging area in terms and

17:46

nurturing and developing that hunger and yourself

17:50

is learning the art of becoming single-minded

17:54

learning how to concentrate

17:58

learning how to focus CNN and you’ll be surprised at the things that you’re able

18:03

to do

18:04

when you learn how to block things out when you learn how to keep an eye single

18:09

you’ll be surprised if the ideas that will come to you

18:12

other people that you’ll be able to attract

18:15

on the opportunity since you’ll be able to see you begin to see planes had been

18:19

standing there looking you in the face I

18:22

I can’t believe this has been here all this time

18:26

has a habit that I do maybe it might be of some value to you

18:30

I get up in the morning and I start riding what great idea said I can pick

18:34

up today

18:36

back in improve main and I will enable me to reach my goal

18:41

persistent about what it is that you want to achieve Alexander Graham Bell

37:31

said

37:31

what this power is I cannot say all I know is that it exists

37:36

and it becomes available only when a man or a woman

37:40

is in that state of mind in which he or she knows exactly what he or she walks

37:45

and is fully determined not to quit until they find it

37:49

when our children are learning how to walk
