if you don’t do it nothing is possible
00:02
if you try to do it at least you have
00:05
the hope you had that third failure in a
00:10
row did you think I need to pack this in
00:14
better why not
00:17
I don’t ever give up
00:19
I mean I’d have to be dead or completely
00:23
incapacitated so many things go wrong
00:30
when you’re starting a company and often
00:32
I think people ask you know what
00:34
mistakes should you avoid making and you
00:37
know my answer the question is don’t
00:38
even bother trying to avoid mistakes
00:40
because you’re going to make tons of
00:41
mistakes right and the the important
00:44
thing is actually learning quickly from
00:46
whatever mistakes you make and not
00:47
giving up right and I mean there are
00:50
things every single year of Facebook’s
00:52
existence that could have killed us are
00:53
made it so that it just seemed like
00:55
moving forward and making a lot of
00:56
progress just seemed intractable but you
00:58
just kind of bounce back and you learn
01:00
and nothing is impossible you just have
01:03
to kind of keep running through the
01:05
walls it’s hard changing your life it
01:10
was hard when just over three years ago
01:14
and the Penobscot building in Detroit
01:16
Michigan where I was operating my
01:19
business and I fell on some hard times
01:21
and I was sleeping in my office
01:25
it was hard coming into the lobby and
01:28
the security said scuse me mr. Brown can
01:30
we see you for a moment and I said yes
01:32
and I walked up to the counter and he
01:35
gave me an envelope and he said would
01:37
you mind reading it here and I opened
01:39
the envelope and the envelope was from
01:41
management that says this is an office
01:45
tower it’s not a hotel please do not
01:50
sleep in your office and I said excuse
01:53
me sir I said I just worked long hours
01:55
in creating my business I’m an
01:58
entrepreneur and right now things are
02:01
bad for me but they’re not going to be
02:03
this way always and I just asked for the
02:08
opportunity to continue to operate like
02:10
I’m doing I’m not trying to make this my
02:12
home and it was hard coming through the
02:15
lobby and sometimes they would laugh
02:17
there’s a guy talking about becoming
02:19
successful and look at him he’s bathing
02:21
in the bathroom upstairs on the 21st
02:25
floor he sleeps on the floor him into
02:28
other dreamers
02:29
there look at him it was hardly a
02:32
gentleman coming to speak to people and
02:35
I was facing financial difficulties in
02:38
my own life I was behind on my bills and
02:41
my dreams and I’m saying to them you can
02:43
live your dream it was hardly and
02:46
gentlemen it was very difficult to pick
02:49
myself up each day believing but I can
02:52
do it there was times that I doubted
02:53
myself I think God why why is it
02:56
happening to me
02:57
I’m just trying to take care of my
02:59
children and my mother I’m not trying to
03:01
steal a rod from anybody I just have to
03:05
happen to me it was very hard here’s
03:10
what I want to say to you for those of
03:13
you that have experienced some hardships
03:15
don’t give up on your dream no one could
03:19
have convinced me by holding off by
03:22
continuing to push forward by continuing
03:25
to run toward my dream and one day I
03:29
would have my own talk show
03:32
it’s a long shot ladies and gentlemen
03:34
from Liberty fitted an abandoned
03:36
building autoflow now we’re knowing my
03:38
mother father it’s a long shot being
03:41
here with you today in this goal in
03:44
Atlantic the long shot
03:46
no college training labeled educable
03:48
mentally retarded but I kept running
03:50
toward my dream
03:53
[Applause]
03:55
[Music]
03:57
you tried to get into three colleges
04:01
each time they rejected you know I tried
04:05
there’s a examination that young people
04:08
if you want to go university of the
04:09
taste take the examinations so I threw
04:12
three times a lot of food I feel for
04:15
funny things that I fooled a key primary
04:18
school tests for two times and I filled
04:22
like a three times for the middle school
04:25
middle schools and you would never
04:29
believe in in Hansel my city there is
04:32
only one middle school that lasts only
04:37
one year it was changed from primary
04:40
school middle school because our
04:41
graduates of ours our Alice school no
04:44
universe you know middle school except
04:46
us because we were too bad what effect
04:49
did it have the being rejected well I
04:54
think we have to get used to it we’re
04:56
not that good even today we still have a
04:59
lot of people reject us I think God when
05:03
I in the graduate from University and
05:07
before you know for three years I tried
05:09
so in the university to apply jobs or 30
05:13
times got rejected
05:16
I went for a police if you know you’re
05:18
not good I went to look even the KFC
05:21
when KFC came to check a blog they see
05:26
24 people went for the job 23 people
05:30
accepted I was only a guy and we went
05:34
for please five people all of them
05:36
accepted I was the only guy that I
05:38
respect receive it so for me being
05:40
turned down rejected out by the way I
05:43
told you that I was I apply for Harvard
05:46
for ten times rejected nothing works the
05:49
first time when you try something new it
05:51
probably won’t work when you try
05:53
something new several times it probably
05:54
won’t work and the turning point in my
05:56
life came when I would hear good ideas
05:58
and I was so eager to be successful in
06:00
selling I would run out and try the
06:01
ideas and they wouldn’t work I try a way
06:03
of getting an appointment or answering
06:05
an objection or closing a sale it
06:06
wouldn’t work and my natural response ah
06:08
and I think yes to be disappointed and
06:12
then I realized nothing works at least
06:14
the first few times so I decided I would
06:16
try a new idea five or ten times before
06:19
I pass judgment on I would not just try
06:21
it once and quit like most people do and
06:22
that changed my whole life it was a
06:24
turning point of my life because I
06:26
realized from then on if you’ve got a
06:27
good idea and you’ve got a good goal and
06:29
you want to double your income and
06:30
improve the quality of your life and you
06:32
have to try new things in order to get
06:33
new results it’s not going to work the
06:35
first time to say well that didn’t work
06:37
try something else and try something
06:38
else and try something else now if you
06:40
try only two things can happen what are
06:42
they succeed or fail if you succeed you
06:46
do more of it if you fail you learn from
06:48
it get smarter and try it again so you
06:50
cannot lose by taking action you can
06:52
only lose by not taking practice
06:55
faithful persisting means never ever
06:57
ever give up Chicken Soup for the Soul
07:00
was rejected by a hundred and forty four
07:03
publishers 144 publisher said we don’t
07:06
want to publish a collection short story
07:07
the title stupid Chicken Soup for the
07:10
Soul what does that mean people don’t
07:11
buy collections of short stories there’s
07:14
never been you know successful chain of
07:18
doing that so literally we spent 14
07:21
months trying to find a publisher and we
07:23
go to New York with our agent eventually
07:25
our agent gave us the book
07:27
and said I can’t sell it so we went to
07:29
the National booksellers Association
07:31
convention down in Anaheim
07:33
we went from booth to booth to booth for
07:35
three days and there were 4,000
07:37
publishers represented there
07:39
there we go would you publish a book
07:40
would you publish a book would you
07:41
publish your book and we got no no no no
07:43
no it was late on the third day that a
07:45
little publisher from Florida after we’d
07:47
gotten over 144 rejections said we’ll
07:50
read it and then they said we said well
07:52
how many copies do you think we’ll sell
07:54
after they said yeah we’ll buy it a
07:55
couple weeks later so we’ll publish it
07:56
and we said well maybe 20,000 if we’re
07:59
lucky and we said with our goals to sell
08:01
a million and a half in a year now now
08:04
have you ever told someone your dream
08:05
and had them laugh out loud at you he
08:09
laughed out loud now if we had given up
08:12
after a hundred publishers had said no I
08:14
wouldn’t be standing here today you know
08:17
wouldn’t it happen and so you’ve got to
08:19
be willing to persevere because we
08:21
didn’t take no see when the world says
08:23
no you say next let’s practice that if I
08:26
say no you say absolutely there’s only
08:29
five or six billion people out there you
08:31
can go and ask there’s over 4,000
08:34
publishers just here in the state of
08:35
California so what we have is endless
08:38
possibility but you have to persevere
08:40
it’s as if the universe tests our
08:42
commitment and so today we have 147
08:45
titles in print we sold over 115 million
08:47
copies
08:48
we’re in 47 languages and over a billion
08:51
dollars where the chickens lose control
08:53
if you’ve been sober a life so if you’re
08:55
willing to decide what you want believe
08:57
it’s possible consciously envision the
09:00
future feel the feelings of what it
09:02
would feel like if you’d achieve this
09:03
goal you can have anything and then you
09:06
take action both obvious actions and
09:08
inspired actions you can do anything
09:11
there’s no such thing as failure failure
09:15
is an idea because success is also a
09:18
stupid idea success and failure is not
09:24
in the volumes of money flowing into
09:26
your life
09:29
success and failure is not dependent
09:32
upon the recognition that you’re finding
09:35
in the world you’re successful with life
09:39
if you know how to walk with joy to help
09:47
first and foremost success is that you
09:52
are not a slave to anybody’s idea then
09:55
become a slave to somebody’s idea the
09:58
Kings have your own idea every idea
10:02
every part every emotion every value
10:05
that you have is picked up from
10:07
somewhere it rules you from within it
10:11
rules you from within your religion your
10:14
society your culture has trained you to
10:18
believe that this is it
