Tim you've got to go faster can ha

you've got it in you Templeton now eyes

ahead I said eyes ahead son run except

pedal like you mean it either you run

the day or the day runs you whether you

think you can or you think you can't

you're right path to success is not a

straight line Templeton but rather a

wild ride for the ship at sea and you're

a sea captain taming a turbulent ocean

c-captain taming the ocean

aim for failure and you'll always

succeed what aim away from failure

[Music]

and I'm doing it once successes have

happened then it's all down

[Music]

don't we get stopped

right

[Music]

Oh
