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

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

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

4:04
your writing the script and you will determine whether your life is
4:09

it takes courage to act part of being home early when you been defeated
8:45
it takes courage to start over again
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
37:54

NE Ohio report you got to do whatever is necessary on tell
38:37
and when you get the best you can and that’s not enough you must do what is
38:41
required
