7. There was a young man, you know, who wanted to make a lot of 1:____________ and so he went to this guru, right.
And he told the guru you know I wanna be on the same 2:___________ you are and so the guru said if you
wanna be on the same 2:____________ I’m on, I’ll met you tomorrow at the beach at 4.am.
So the young man got there 4 a.m. he already to rock n’ roll. Got on a suit should of wore shorts. The old man
3:____________ his hand and said: How bad do you wanna be successful? He said: “Real bad”. He said: Walk
on out in the water. So he walks out into the water. Watch this. When he walks out to the water he goes waist
4:___________ and goes like this guy crazy.
Hey, I wanna make 1:____________ and he got me out here swimming. I didn’t ask to be a 5:____________. I wanna
make 1:___________ he got me in – so he said come on a little further – walked out a little further – then he had
it right around this area – the shoulder area – so this old man crazy – he making 1:___________ but he crazy. So
he said come on out a little further – came out a little further, it was right at his mouth – my man, I’m not about to
go back in this guy is out of his 6:___________.
And the old man said: “I thought you said you wanted to be successful?” He said: “I do.” He said: “Then walk a little
further.” He came, dropped his head in, held him down, hold him down, my man (kept scratching) hold him down,
he had him held down, just before my man was about to pass 7:___________, he raised him up. He said: “I got a
question for you.” He told the guy, he said: “When you want to succeed as bad as you wanna breathe than you
will be successful.”
I don’t know how many of you all got asthma here today? If you ever had a asthma 8:___________ before your short
of breath S.O.B shortness of breath, you wheezing, the only thing you trying to do is get some air. You don’t care
about no basketball game, you don’t care about what’s on T.V., you don’t care about nobody calling you, you
don’t care about a party. The only thing you care about when you trying to breathe is to get some 9:___________
air. That’s it! And when you get to the point where all you wanna do is be is successful as bad as you wanna
breathe then you will be successful.
And I’m here to tell you that number 10:___________, most of you say you wanna be successful but you don’t want it
bad, you just kind of want it. You don’t want it bad than you wanna 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 sleep. Some of you lost sleep more than you lost
success. And I’m here to tell you today, if you´re going to be successful you gotta be willing to 11:___________
up sleep. You gotta be willing to work with 3 hours of sleep – 2 hours, if you really wanna be successful. Some
day your gonna have to stay up 3 days in a 12:___________. Because if you go to sleep you might miss the
13:___________ to be successful. That’s how bad you gotta want it.
You gotta go days without – LISTEN TO ME! You gotta want to be successful so bad that you forget to eat. My (… )
said say, once she was on the set doing her thang, three days had gone by and she forgot that she didn’t eat.
Cause she was engaged. I never forget, I went, 50 Cent was doing his movie, I did a little research on 50 and 50
said: that when he wasn’t do the movie he was doing the soundtrack. And they said: “When do you sleep?” 50,
and 50 said: “Sleep, sleep is for those people who are broke. I don’t sleep.” See I got an 13:___________ to
make my dream become a reality. Don’t cry to quits. You already in pain, you already hurt. Get a reward from it.
Don’t go to sleep until you succeed.
Listen to me, I’m here to tell you today you can come here and and you can jump up – you can do flips and you can be
excited when we give away 1:______________ but listen to me, you will never be successful, I don’t have to give
you a dime if you do what you do. You won’t be successful until you say I don’t need that 1:______________
cause I got it in here.
