HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT

One of the best motivational speeches of all time in my opinion. Every time i watch it i just feel like i want to get up and do something. I want to be part of something bigger. I want to create for myself. This video has inspired to me start my own business. And I still find myself referring back to it like a dictionary. So watch it and learn something from it...

This relates to our class discussion of passion and privilege. Here is a man that had no privilege. Black, poor, no education. He did not come from a family of means, if you will. However, he found his passion. He overcame the challenges that so many of Americas youth face daily. It did not matter how many times he had to fail, he only had to succeed once. And now he is teaching young people how to do the same thing. 

we all should take a page from Eric Thomas's book. What he is saying in this video is nothing impossible. in fact it is very simple. If you work hard you can accomplish anything you want. key words are WORK HARD. If you want something you've got to want it. Like he says in the video, most people dont really want success. they would rather sleep or go party and hang out with friends than be successful. Bottom line is if you want something reach out and grab it. Dont let anyone tell you that you cannot do something, FIGHT for it.

"When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breath, then you will be successful"

"The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become"
