Most people don't reach their
dream not because of failure
00:01
most people don't live their
dream because they give up
00:05
you see it's not the failure that stops us
00:10
but that most stopped
at their first failure.
00:13
Those who succeed don't stop at one failure
00:16
they don't stop at ten failures
00:20
they don't stop at a hundred
or a thousand or a million
00:22
they say "this is my goal, and I will
do whatever it takes to achieve it.
00:27
I will learn the lessons from any failures
00:32
I will learn faster, I will work
harder, I will work smarter
00:35
and I will not quit until
my dream is a reality"
00:40
That's the difference between
success and failure.
00:45
Failure is a massive part of
being able to be successful
00:48
You have to get comfortable with failure,
you have to actually seek failure
00:54
failure is where all of the lessons are
00:58
you know, when you go to
the gym and you work out
01:01
you're actually seeking failure, you want to take
your muscles to the point where you get to failure
01:03
because that's where the
adaptation is, that's where growth is.
01:09
Successful people fail a lot, they
fail a whole lot more than they succeed.
01:14
They extract the lessons from the
failure, and they use that- the energy
01:19
and they use the wisdom to come
around to the next phase of success.
01:25
Gotta take a shot, you have to live
at the edge of your capabilities
01:31
you gotta live where you're
almost certain you're gonna fail
01:36
the reason for practice,
practice is controlled failure
01:40
you're getting to your limit, getting
to your limit, getting to your limit
01:44
you can't lift that, you can't do that
01:48
until you get to the point that all of a
sudden your body makes the adjustment
01:50
and then you can do it.
01:55
failure actually helps you to recognize
the areas where you need to evolve
01:57
so fail early, fail often, fail forward.
02:05
Failure makes winners stronger,
failure makes winners hungrier
02:09
but it makes most give up
02:15
it makes most feel worthless.
02:17
Winners don't enjoy failure
02:20
but they would never let failure stop them.
02:23
next time you encounter failure
02:26
you got to remember every great
thing on this planet is here
02:28
because the creator learned what did work
but learned more from what did not work.
02:32
When we are kids, we don't stop at failure
02:39
when we first learned to ride a bike,
it's failure after failure
02:43
we get knocked down time after time
02:47
but we get up and push forward, It's so
we'll achieve our goal of riding the bike
02:50
but then, we get old and
most of us get weak
02:56
we are too soft to get back on the bike.
03:03
We come up with excuses
03:06
it must not be for me!
03:09
No, you just soft
03:12
no, you just lazy.
03:13
Tell yourself the truth
03:15
get back on the bike
03:17
learn why you failed
03:19
and make sure you don't fall again
03:21
make sure you are stronger
for having the lesson.
03:23
You know it's always a
little bit frustrating to me
03:30
when people have a negative
relationship with failure.
03:32
Fail early, fail often, fail forward.
03:37
You're here right now at this moment
03:44
because tomorrow you want to be somebody
greater than the person you are today.
03:47
You see yourself succeeding
03:55
you have a vision
03:57
you have a dream
03:59
Congratulations, you're already ten
steps ahead of 95% of the world.
04:01
Imagine if Michael Jordan
was scared of missing
04:09
he would have never taken a shot.
04:13
Imagine if Steve Jobs was afraid
of people not liking his product
04:16
there would be no iPhone.
04:21
So, ask yourself this, do you want
to be a person who fears failure?
04:24
or do you want to be a
person who loves success?
04:29
which one?
04:31
you gonna have to pick today
04:32
and I'll tell you one thing
04:34
one is a failure, and one is a success
04:36
and If you love success, there
is nothing that can stop you
04:40
all those negative things
people say will mean nothing.
04:44
They're gonna talk about how
only 1% make it to the top
04:49
big deal, wanna know something else?
04:53
Only 1% stick with that fitness
program long enough to see results
04:58
only 1% of nerds stick with that video
game long enough to get good at it
05:03
only 1% of relationships
stick it out to the end.
05:08
That doesn't mean you
have a 1% chance
05:12
it just means you can't
behave like the 99%
05:17
you'll have to do something better
than giving up a month from now
05:22
those are just numbers.
05:27
You want to talk about numbers
05:30
take a look around you and
take a good look around you
05:32
are you like 99% of the people around you?
05:36
If you are, then you're in
the wrong video my friend
05:40
You have to love success just as much
05:43
because that's gonna allow
you to get up and go for it.
05:45
Being scared to fail won't do anything
05:50
in fact, when you love success
and you start going for it
05:54
guess what happens?
06:00
You're gonna fail, you're gonna
fail ten times, a hundred times
06:02
maybe even a thousand
times, but that's okay
06:06
failure isn't permanent
06:11
falling isn't permanent.
06:15
You get right back up and keep going
06:18
and this time you're gonna be stronger,
wiser and you'll be more driven than ever
06:21
and for every ten failures,
you'll land one success.
06:28
You have to love success so much
06:34
that you're willing to fail ten
times before you can succeed once
06:36
that's how a winner does it
06:40
I wanna explain the biggest myth that
most people think leads them to success
06:44
and here's the myth
06:49
You might believe if you're
scared to fail you won't fail.
06:51
Lies, biggest myth ever
06:59
and I believed it.
07:03
You see, I always thought that
being scared to fail in life
07:04
would literally keep me from failing
07:10
I would look at the losers
around me and I would say
07:14
" sheesh, I never want to turn out like him"
07:17
I really believed this train of
thought would help me succeed
07:22
until one day
07:26
I was walking down the
street and I saw an old man
07:28
had a hat, suspenders and a cane
07:32
was about 80 years old.
07:35
This old man was barely walking, he could walk
but the cane helped a lot, he was struggling.
07:38
So anyway, he was walking across
the street and he ended up falling
07:45
so I went over to go help him
07:49
and he gets up says “thank you”
and we introduce ourselves
07:51
had a little conversation, told
me his name and I told him mine
07:55
his name was Robert by the way
07:58
and right as he walked away I
told him, this is what I said
07:59
“Robert, you should stay inside
where it's safe my friend”
08:04
and Robert turns around and says to me
08:08
“I love walking, and I love walking
way more than I'm afraid of falling”
08:12
So, I asked him well
08:18
"what about your safety?
don't you want to live?"
08:21
and he told me this, these are the
exact words he said, he said this
08:25
“Solo, living means doing what you love to do
08:29
and if I have to fall here and there to do
what I want to do in life, then so be it”
08:33
and he just walked away, never
saw him again, that was it.
08:40
But that statement really had me
thinking and it had me thinking hard
08:44
because I learned something that day.
08:48
That's when I realized the true key to success
08:51
you see, I always thought if I could just fear
the act of failing and if I fear it like crazy
08:55
I will succeed
09:03
because I thought the fear would magically motivate
me to get out there and start taking action
09:05
but after that day uh-uh
09:11
I realized something
09:14
I realize it's the love for success
that will lead me to succeeding.
09:16
So, just imagine if Robert feared falling
09:23
would he even start walking?
09:27
of course not
09:29
he wouldn't even do what he loved to do
09:31
he would sit at home and
take no type of action
09:34
but he loved walking
09:39
wasn't even scared to fall
09:41
it gave him life
09:44
that's what allowed him to get up and do it.
09:46
He loved walking so much, he was willing
to fall 10 times a day just to do it
09:48
and you have to be the same
09:55
So the next time someone tells
you “you're gonna fail”
09:57
you know what you tell them
10:01
Tell them they're right
10:04
but you're not afraid to fail,
you're not afraid to take action
10:07
you're not afraid to jump
10:11
you're gonna fail 10
times but you know what
10:15
It's cool because on the
11th time you'll succeed
10:18
oh, you'll succeed alright
10:25
and it will feel good
10:27
and while you're over here living the life
of your dreams in complete happiness
10:29
guess where they're gonna be?
10:35
That's right, they'll be
failures, the real failures
10:38
over there where it's safe, scared to fail
10:43
ironic, isn't it?
10:48
You know
10:52
a lot of people come up
to me and they ask me "Marco
10:53
what is it that motivates you most?”
10:56
and to answer their question,
I reply back with a question
10:58
I say “what if I told you that
you had one week left to live?”
11:01
would you regret not pursuing your
dreams, passions and desires?
11:08
would you regret not living
your life to the fullest?
11:13
would you regret not spending as much time
with your family, friends, or loved ones?
11:16
You know Steve Jobs said
in a speech one time that
11:21
he used to wake up every morning, look in
the mirror and ask himself questions like this
11:24
and he said that if the answer was
yes for too many days in a row
11:30
then he knew that he had
to change something
11:34
and that should go for all of us.
11:36
If you're living a life that you
would not be okay with losing
11:39
because you weren’t able to
do things you wanted to do
11:43
then now you know that you
need to change something.
11:46
Life is simply too short and unpredictable
11:49
to not live exactly the way that you please.
11:54
It is ridiculously unpredictable
11:58
it is possible that on any given day to
die at any point throughout that day
12:00
without ever being able to see it coming.
12:06
you know when I was 13, I had this teacher
who was an absolutely amazing person
12:09
I’d known him for several years then
12:13
and he had two kids, a loving
wife, he was a man of God
12:15
contributed to the community, he
gave us everything that he had
12:19
and he would bike to school every single day
12:22
I always remember him
coming to school on his bike
12:25
and one morning on his way to
school, It was early in the morning
12:27
he was crossing an intersection, a
reckless driver comes out of nowhere
12:31
hits him, he dies on the spot
on the moment of impact.
12:34
His death taught me so many
valuable things in life
12:39
and one of them being that it went on to show
12:42
that no matter how much
you don't deserve to die
12:45
and no matter how good of a person you are
12:48
and no matter what your situation
is, no matter anything
12:51
it goes to show that death
is inevitable and random
12:54
and it will eventually consume
each and every single one of us
12:57
whether it's in 50 years, in 10
years, next year, or even tomorrow.
13:02
You cannot control it
13:06
the people around you cannot control it.
13:08
As long as you're at the wrong
place at the wrong time
13:10
your whole life could disappear
in the blink of an eye
13:14
along with everything you
wished you could have done
13:17
whether you're walking down the street
13:20
whether you're stepping into the elevator
13:22
whether you're walking down the stairs
13:23
whether you're, whether
you're just existing.
13:25
Listen you'll see people from
nowhere die of a heart attack, gone
13:27
no family history, no symptoms, no cause, nothing
13:31
it happens and that's the cruel life that we live in
13:34
and it's something that we cannot control.
13:38
So, what I wanna make clear
13:40
is that regardless of the path
that you take in your life
13:42
at one point death will consume you
13:45
it doesn't care whether you
floss your teeth in the morning
13:48
whether you raise a family or not
13:51
whether you go on to be rich,
poor, a success, a failure
13:53
whether whatever, you are still going
to die at one point, it is that simple
13:56
and knowing that you're going to die
soon should be the biggest motivation
14:01
to both make the difficult decisions in life
14:05
and to get your ass out of bed in the morning.
14:07
So, now the question becomes, what
is it that you truly have to lose?
14:10
If you pursue your dreams and you fail
14:17
sure you might be a little bit
more financially unstable
14:20
you might experience stress or other feelings
you wish you never had to experience
14:23
but either way, even if you fail you
will end up back to where you started
14:27
which is where you are now.
14:32
So, what do you literally have to lose?
14:33
some of you right now, you're thinking
about maybe starting a business
14:35
you have a great idea that you wanna
incorporate into your lifestyle
14:38
maybe you're thinking about
pursuing your dreams to the fullest
14:41
maybe you're thinking
about putting in the work
14:43
to become a doctor, an engineer,
a firefighter, a professional athlete
14:45
but some of you won't follow these
ambitions because you're afraid
14:49
you're afraid to fail, you let the
fear of failure dictate your actions
14:52
and you're afraid of what mom or papa thinks
14:56
you're afraid of what your
sister, your brother thinks
14:58
or your grandpa, your grandma
or your cousins or whoever.
15:00
But what truly matters is, is you
15:03
you are in possession of a gift
15:06
you have a talent and whatever that talent is
15:08
you can make yourself and the people around
you a stronger and better place with it.
15:10
But sometimes the only way
to do that is to take a risk
15:15
at one point, you have got to take a leap
15:17
if you wanna make that gift
that you have become a reality
15:21
otherwise, society will gladly
accept you as a nine-to-five slave
15:25
working just to pay off your rent and to
stay alive and to live for the weekend
15:29
which is the absolute worst way to live.
15:33
If you don't jump believe me,
if you don't pursue your gift
15:37
you will live a life full of regret
15:41
and your gift, your dreams, everything
that you ever had to offer to the world
15:43
will die with you.
15:47
From firsthand experience,
I am pissed off at myself
15:49
I'm pissed off and I regret so much in my
life, I can't even fathom explaining it.
15:54
Not about, not about what I've
done but what I haven't done
16:00
all the opportunities that I turned down
and all the chances that I never took
16:04
just because I was afraid or because I was
worried about what other people think
16:08
and I officially decided to sit
down, I sat down for weeks
16:13
I didn't, I didn't just think of what I'm saying
right now, I didn't think of it overnight
16:17
this is months, this is months of thinking
and I just sat down and I just wrote
16:20
and after comparing the randomness of death
16:25
versus the chance of you failing while
relentlessly pursuing your dreams
16:28
versus the chance of you living a terrible life
because you failed at pursuing your dreams
16:32
versus just calling it a day right now and
living a traditional western world lifestyle
16:37
versus everything you can think
of, versus absolutely everything.
16:42
And I can gladly say that right
now, as of this moment right here
16:46
I would rather live each day as if it were my last
16:49
and take every risk possible in these
sacred moments that I have on earth now
16:54
to make myself as successful and happy as possible
16:59
than to be sitting in my deathbed when I'm
90 years old regretting not taking a chance
17:03
and thinking about what my life could
have been if I had just jumped when I was 18
17:09
or when I was 15 or when I was 22,
because tomorrow is not a promise
17:13
I would rather die trying to live my dreams
17:18
than to live a longer life filled with regrets.
17:22
Life is too short and too
unpredictable to live it safe
17:29
I've seen it firsthand, It is not worth it
to live it safe, basic and traditional
17:34
but do you know why most people choose to live
that safe life over taking risks in their life?
17:39
I mean there's a pretty good argument not to
17:44
but why would you- why would you take a risk
17:46
that puts you through stress,
puts your family through stress
17:48
makes you lose sleep, makes you lose
time, makes you put in the extra work
17:51
makes you take ridiculous chances that are 1 to 1,000
17:55
you know, but before I even continue
17:58
the fact that I'm even sitting here and talking
it is astonishingly ridiculous on its own
18:00
the chance of you being born is 1 to 400 Trillion
18:05
that number is so big you cannot
even wrap your head around it.
18:11
But okay, what what I wanted to say was that
18:14
the reason why people don't
want to take these risks
18:17
is because right now they feel
like they got a lot to lose
18:20
and that their current situation is relatively nice
18:24
and most importantly right now, they are comfortable.
18:27
They got used to living basic within society standards
18:31
being with their friends every
now and then, being more rested
18:34
they got comfortable, and when you
get comfortable you don't wanna move
18:37
and that comfort zone, I like
to call it the danger zone
18:41
because this comfort zone will persuade you
to stay in there for as long as possible
18:44
and it is -I know, I know how
it is, I know the comfort zone-
18:50
It is so convincing, it is so
hard to escape comfort, I know
18:53
and as it persuades you to stay in
there, you will literally unconsciously
18:58
-see I'm so serious when I say this-
19:03
you will literally see your whole life go right by you
19:05
and the main reason that I'm serious about this now
19:10
is because I am pissed off for greatness.
19:13
I wanna move mountains and
like Ray Lewis once said
19:16
“if you're not pissed off for greatness
then you're okay with being mediocre”
19:19
and I am definitely not okay with being
average and I don't think anyone should be.
19:23
But anyways
19:27
to address why I'm even talking about
any of this at all in the first place
19:30
is because I recently got an offer to
move out to Los Angeles, California
19:33
to live with two other entrepreneurs as
a content creator and media influencer.
19:37
And it makes me sad because
19:42
it's opened up my eyes to see
what I truly have in store for me
19:44
what's waiting for me out there in the future.
19:47
And it's just a tiny glimpse of what I'm
capable of achieving within my short life.
19:49
However, I doubt that I could get the right legal
paperwork done in order to move to the U.S
19:53
to work for a job such as YouTube which is
really not in the control of the government
19:58
and the last thing that I wanna do is to go to the
U.S. to work an illegal job as an illegal immigrant.
20:02
So as of this moment, I feel like I have
to pass up yet another opportunity
20:07
and it makes me feel like I just keep letting
my dreams slip from my hands once more
20:12
and now that I've seen the
reality of what is possible
20:16
this house in LA next to the beach
in California with the huge city
20:19
great weather and working a job that
I would absolutely love and live for
20:22
with people who share the
exact same dream and vision.
20:26
It has me thinking like hell yeah, I would
gladly die chasing this dream relentlessly
20:29
then never chase it at all and play it safe
20:35
and being trapped within my own mind of
thinking about what my life could have been.
20:38
I hope to do more videos like this where I speak
20:42
because they're really like a therapy for me
20:44
and it helps me get my mind off things
20:46
and hopefully some people can be
influenced by what I'm actually saying.
20:48
I would also like to say that I think
education is extremely important
20:51
and plays a crucial role into bringing success
into your life and that knowledge is power.
20:56
The best thing in life is to
always have a back-up plan
21:00
and take into consideration,
what if something goes wrong?
21:03
and it's something that every role model
that I look up to tries to enforce.
21:06
But I feel like education will always
be here for me to come back to
21:09
whether I'm 20, 25, 40 or whatever
21:13
and I think that I have an amazing
idea, vision, passion and drive
21:16
now in my peak and that
I'm able to capitalize on
21:20
which makes me feel like I'm
throwing it away if I don't pursue it
21:23
and the biggest response that
I've been getting recently is
21:27
Marco, what if it fails?
21:30
which I mean yeah like, what if it fails?
21:32
but that's the whole point of taking a chance with
things like startup companies or entrepreneurship
21:34
it's ridiculously high risk
21:38
like, what if I get hit by a car?
what if I lose my wallet?
21:39
or better yet, what if this succeeds?
21:42
you know, it's easy to be
negative or to be close-minded
21:45
but I think it's easier to be
optimistic and to be open-minded.
21:48
and please do yourself a favor which is a
separate topic on its own for another time
21:51
but try to surround yourself with people who
impose and promote positivity and good vibes
21:55
you will notice the tremendous
effect that it has on your lifestyle.
22:01
Starting your own business or being
self-employed although preferable
22:05
doesn't exactly require any
kind of diploma or degree.
22:09
And I think that with a proper business plan
22:12
and with the drive that people like you
who are watching this video, fuel me with
22:14
I feel like I can accomplish anything.
22:20
If you're still listening, I love you, mad
respect, that's true loyalty right there
22:22
nevertheless, this has been Marco.
22:27
I hope you all have a great rest of the day
22:28
and goodbye
22:31
I had a lot of fail, I fail for funny things
22:35
that I failed a key primary
school test for two times
22:38
and I failed like a three times for the middle school
22:42
you know for three years I tried to
fill into the universities
22:48
so I applied for jobs, for
thirty times got rejected
22:51
I went for police they
said “no, you're not good”
22:56
I went to even the KFC, when KFC
come to China, come to my city
22:59
You applied?
23:05
24 people went for the job, 23
people accepted, I was the only guy.
23:06
And we went for police five people, four of them
accepted, I was the only guy didn’t receive it.
23:13
So, to me being turned down, rejected
23:20
Oh, by the way I told you that I applied
for Harvard for ten times rejected
23:23
I know I’d be rejected, I just wanted to see
23:29
they are sorry now
23:31
One of the things you got to understand my friend
23:34
is that you're supposed to fail
23:36
you're supposed to fail, because failure
is the stepping stone to success
23:39
you need the logical reason why
23:45
Because failure is an
experience that lends to wisdom
23:47
that ultimately makes you a
stronger version of yourself.
23:53
Maybe you got test anxiety, I don't know
23:57
but the worst thing you can do
is quit talk to your professor
23:59
I'm not a 100% sure but I
know that you cannot quit.
24:02
Just because you fail
doesn't make you a failure.
24:06
Another one of these cliches or cliches stories
24:12
is about Thomas Edison right
24:16
when a reporter asked him
24:18
you know “what is it? how did you
feel about failing a 1000 times?”
24:20
And he said “no, I didn't fail a 1000 times
24:24
I just found a 1000 different
ways that it wasn't gonna work”
24:27
And that's what, that's
what's happening with you.
24:30
But every time he found a way that
didn't work he was adding to his journey
24:32
he was growing stronger, he learned
something, discovered something
24:36
you're discovering something about yourself
24:41
and you're exercising your character
24:42
every time you get up and try something,
move in the direction of something.
24:44
Even if you don't get the thing,
it's not about the thing
24:49
it's not about making the basketball team,
it's not about making million dollars
24:51
and it's not about the light bulb.
24:54
It's about what you learned along the way
24:56
who you become along the way
24:59
and you're on the journey,
guess what the journey is hard
25:01
the journey is riddled with failure and
that's why most people don't do it
25:04
most people aren’t willing to get on that
journey because they're afraid to fail.
25:08
You my friend have failed congratulations
25:11
It's the greatest thing that
ever happened to you
25:13
because it shows that you're alive,
it shows that you did something
25:15
and it shows that
you're growing stronger
25:18
now go and fail again
25:22
I hope, I hope you guys who watch these videos,
I hope you gonna fail a thousand times
25:23
Keep going in out there and failing.
25:27
You know what that means, every
time you fail it means to me
25:29
it tells me that you're doing something.
25:31
See a lot of people because they don't want to
make any mistakes, that takes us to the next level.
25:38
Lot of people don't wanna fail,
fear failure, fear of success
25:41
and guess what else, fear the unknown.
25:46
You know what Winston Churchill
said about courage Pat?
25:49
he said courage is the ability to go from failure
to failure without losing enthusiasm
25:51
So you wanna courageously hold on to
your dream and not lose enthusiasm.
25:57
A guy in Los Angeles all over
the front page of the newspaper
26:02
he just passed the bar after taking it 48 times
26:06
he had more than enough reason
and excuses not to take it
26:11
his son has a law firm, he could have
been a legal assistant, a clerk.
26:15
And people all of a sudden
used to laugh at this guy
26:21
he was a laughingstock,
people will do that to you.
26:24
You know people talk about John
Kennedy Jr, failing the bar.
26:26
Did you read in the newspaper
that he passed? I didn't see that
26:29
but did they make as big of a deal about
him passing as they did when he failed?
26:32
No, you know why?
people like to see you fail
26:35
they like to see that, people are like
that, I don't know why it's set up like that
26:38
I was on the expressway, traffic was jammed up
26:42
you know what was happening
It was an accident
26:44
but people pulled over to the side to
get out of their car to go and look
26:46
to see somebody else's suffering.
26:51
That's why talk shows are so popular, some
people like to hear other people's misery
26:52
they get caught up in that
26:56
then they go and magnify it in their own
life because that's all they focus on
26:58
who decided it doesn't matter how many times
I fail, I'm going to courageously pursue it.
27:02
I don't care what people say,
I don't care what they think
27:06
this is something that I want, that
gives my life meaning and value
27:08
and you constantly remind yourself after
every defeat, after every setback
27:11
every time you get knocked
down, I've got a saying
27:16
“if life knocks you down, try and land on your
back because if you can look up you can get up”
27:18
See a lot of people because of failure
they stop, they stop believing.
27:23
Let me share something with you,
you will fail your way to success
27:27
Yes, eight out of ten millionaires
have been financially bankrupt.
27:31
You will fail your way to success.
27:34
It doesn't matter how many times you fail
27:37
it doesn't matter how many times
people tell you that you can't do it
27:39
it doesn't matter if you don't
have a dime in the bank
27:42
you will fail your way to success.
27:45
There's something about the
way we perceive success
28:00
that results in one of the
greatest tragedies of our time
28:04
and that's the belief that successful people
28:08
the ones at the top of their game, that
talent is what punched their ticket
28:12
that destiny brought
them to the finish line
28:16
and that's wrong
28:20
it's wrong because it takes the journey,
the struggle, the scratching and clawing
28:23
that it took to get to the top of the
mountain and throws it out the window
28:29
it completely mitigates what's most important.
28:34
In the real world, the one we are living in
28:41
It doesn't matter who you are, you
are never entitled to a result.
28:46
Victory is a product of the fight
28:50
The biggest favor you can
ever do for yourself
29:02
as you progress through
life's up and downs
29:05
through the good and the
bad, when things get rough
29:07
is know that you are going through
what every successful person
29:10
every champion, every innovator has gone
through in the history of mankind.
29:15
struggle is beautiful
29:24
it’s a sign
29:27
that you are in the midst of what
separates great from average.
29:29
It's a necessary step and it's the
most important step you will ever take
29:35
because 99% of people can't see past it
29:39
right the world sees struggle, sees
hardship as a time to pack it up
29:44
to walk away, to be intimidated.
29:49
But the best, I'm telling you they
look at struggle differently.
29:53
Just like you can't get fit without
blood, sweat and tears at the gym
30:00
you can't make deals without the hustle
30:05
you can't make things happen if you don't
move forward in the face of adversity.
30:08
When the word no is staring you in the eyes
30:14
It's all a part of the process
30:20
Winners walk on
30:23
If you want something bad enough, you know
that being uncomfortable is an ingredient
30:28
if you want to be the best, your
mindset has to reflect the best
30:34
right, let others focus on the tip of the iceberg
30:39
you know, excellence lies in everything
underneath the surface in what cannot be seen.
30:42
So take mediocrity and make it excellence
30:48
Take what’s yours and hold
it up for the world to see
30:51
because what hurts now
30:56
in the present is the very same thing
that will transform your life down the road
30:59
歌词与翻译
[中文]
大多数人都没有达到他们的目标
梦想不是因为失败
大多数人都没有过自己的生活
梦想是因为他们放弃了
你看，阻止我们的并不是失败
，而是大多数人停止了
在他们第一次失败时。
成功者不会因一次失败而停止
他们不会因十次失败而停止
他们不会因一百次失败而停止
或者一千或一百万
他们说“这是我的目标，我会
尽一切努力来实现它。
我会从失败中吸取教训
我会学得更快，我会努力
更加努力，我会更聪明地工作
并且我不会放弃，直到
我的梦想成为现实”
这就是之间的区别
成功与失败。
失败是很大一部分
能够成功
你必须坦然接受失败，
你必须真正寻求失败
失败是所有教训的地方
你知道，当你去
去健身房锻炼
你实际上是在寻求失败，你想要接受失败
你的肌肉已经到了力竭的地步
，因为那就是
适应就是增长。
成功的人失败了很多，他们
失败的次数远多于成功的次数。
他们从中汲取教训
失败，他们使用它 - 能量
，他们使用智慧来实现
围绕下一阶段的成功。
一定要努力，你必须活下去
在你能力的边缘
你必须住在你现在的地方
几乎可以肯定你会失败
练习的原因，
练习是受控失败
你已经达到了极限，
达到你的极限，达到你的极限
你无法提升它，你无法做到这一点
直到你达到了所有
突然你的身体做出调整
，然后你就可以做到了。
失败实际上可以帮助你认识到
你需要发展的领域
所以尽早失败，经常失败，向前失败。
失败使胜利者更强大，
失败使胜利者更加饥饿
但它让大多数人放弃
它让大多数人感到毫无价值。
成功者不喜欢失败
，但他们永远不会让失败阻止他们。
下次遇到失败时
你必须记住每一次伟大的经历
这个星球上的东西就在这里
，因为创造者知道什么是有效的
但从不起作用的事情中学到了更多。
当我们还是孩子的时候，我们不会因失败而停止
当我们第一次学会骑自行车时，
这是一次又一次的失败
我们一次又一次被击倒
但我们站起来并继续前进，就是这样
我们将实现骑自行车的目标
，但是后来，我们变老了
我们大多数人都会变得虚弱
我们太软了，无法重新骑上自行车。
我们想出借口
这一定不适合我！
不，你只是软弱
不，你只是懒惰。
告诉自己真相
重新骑上自行车
了解你失败的原因
并确保你不会再次跌倒
确保你变得更坚强
为了上课。
你知道这始终是
当人们有负面情绪时，我有点沮丧
与失败的关系。
尽早失败、经常失败、向前失败。
此时此刻你在这里
因为明天你想成为某人
比今天的你更伟大。
你看到自己成功了
你有一个愿景
你有一个梦想
恭喜你，你已经十岁了
领先世界95%的人。
想象一下如果迈克尔·乔丹
害怕错过
，他永远不会开枪。
想象一下如果史蒂夫·乔布斯害怕的话
不喜欢他的产品
的人就不会有 iPhone。
所以，问问自己，你想要吗
做一个害怕失败的人？
或者你想成为
热爱成功的人？
哪一个？
你今天必须做出选择
我会告诉你一件事
一个是失败，一个是成功
如果你热爱成功，那就有
没有什么可以阻止你
所有那些负面的事情
人们说没有任何意义。
他们会谈论如何
只有 1% 的人跻身
大事榜首，想了解其他信息吗？
只有 1% 的人坚持这种健身方式
程序足够长的时间才能看到结果
只有 1% 的书呆子坚持观看该视频
游戏时间足够长才能擅长
只有 1% 的关系
坚持到底。
这并不意味着你
有 1% 的机会
这只是意味着你不能
像 99% 的人一样行事
你必须做得更好
比从现在开始一个月后放弃
这些只是数字。
你想谈论数字
看看你的周围，然后
好好看看你周围
你和你周围99%的人一样吗？
如果是，那么您就进入了
视频发错了我的朋友
你必须同样热爱成功
因为这会让
你站起来去吧。
事实上，当你热爱成功时，害怕失败不会有任何作用
然后你开始努力
猜猜会发生什么？
你会失败，你会失败
失败十次、一百次
甚至可能失败一千次
多次，但没关系
失败不是永久性的
跌倒不是永久性的。
你重新站起来并继续前进
，这一次你会变得更强，
更明智，你会比以往更有动力
每失败十次，
你将会获得一次成功。
你必须非常热爱成功
以至于你愿意失败十次
成功一次
这就是成功者的做法
我想解释一下最大的神话
大多数人认为这会带领他们走向成功
，这是一个神话
如果您是的话，您可能会相信
害怕失败，你就不会失败。
谎言，有史以来最大的神话
，我相信了它。
你看，我一直以为
害怕在生活中失败
实际上会让我避免失败
我会关注失败者
在我周围，我会说
“天啊，我从来不想变成像他一样”
我真的相信这列火车
想法会帮助我成功
直到有一天
我走在
我在街上看到一位老人
，戴着帽子，背带背带，拄着拐杖
，大约80岁。
这位老人几乎不能走路，他可以走路
但拐杖帮了很大的忙，他很挣扎。
所以无论如何，他正在走过
在街上，他最终摔倒了
，所以我走过去帮助他
，他站起来说“谢谢”
我们自我介绍
进行了一些交谈，告诉
我他的名字，我告诉他我的
他的名字是罗伯特
，就在他走开时我
告诉他，这就是我说的
“罗伯特，你应该呆在里面
安全的地方我的朋友”
罗伯特转过身来对我说
“我喜欢散步，我喜欢散步
比我害怕摔倒还要多”
所以，我很好地问他
“你的安全怎么样？
你不想活了吗？”
他告诉我，这些是
他说的原话是这样的
“独奏，生活意味着做你喜欢做的事情
，如果我不得不到处跌倒去做
我一生想做什么，那就这样吧”
然后他就走开了，从来没有
再次见到他，就这样了。
但这句话确实让我着迷
思考，这让我认真思考
，因为那天我学到了一些东西。
就在那时我意识到成功的真正关键
你看，我一直在想是否我可以只是害怕
失败的行为，如果我疯狂地害怕它
我会成功
因为我认为恐惧会神奇地激励我
我要走出去并开始采取行动
但那天之后呃呃
我意识到了一些事情
我意识到这就是对成功的热爱
这将引导我走向成功。
所以，想象一下如果罗伯特害怕跌倒
他会开始走路吗？
当然不是
他甚至不会做他喜欢做的事情
他会坐在家里
不采取任何行动
，但他喜欢散步
甚至不害怕跌倒
它给了他生命
这让他能够站起来并做到这一点。
他非常喜欢散步，他愿意
每天跌倒 10 次只是为了做到这一点
并且你必须保持不变
所以下次有人告诉你
你“你会失败”
你知道你告诉他们什么
告诉他们他们是对的
但你不害怕失败，
你不害怕采取行动
你不害怕跳跃
你会失败10
次，但你知道
这很酷，因为在
第 11 次你会成功
哦，你会成功的
而且感觉会很好
当你在这里过着生活的时候
你的梦想完全幸福
猜猜它们会在哪里？
没错，他们会
失败，真正的失败
在安全的地方，害怕失败
讽刺，不是吗？
你知道
很多人都来了
他们问我“Marco
最能激励你的是什么？”
并回答他们的问题，
我回复一个问题
我说“如果我告诉你那会怎么样？
你还剩一周的生命了？”
你会后悔没有追求你的梦想吗？
梦想、激情和欲望？
你会后悔没有活着吗
你的生活充实吗？
你会后悔没有花那么多时间吗
与您的家人、朋友或亲人？
你知道史蒂夫·乔布斯说过
在一次
他每天早上醒来的演讲中，看看
对着镜子问自己这样的问题
他说如果答案是
是的，连续太多天
然后他知道他已经
改变一些事情
，这应该适合我们所有人。
如果您过着自己喜欢的生活
失去
是不可接受的，因为您无法
做你想做的事情
那么现在你知道你
需要改变一些东西。
生命太短暂且不可预测
，不能完全按照自己喜欢的方式生活。
难以预测
有可能在任何一天
在那一天的任何时刻
都无法预见它的到来。
你知道当我13岁的时候，我有一位老师
他是一个绝对了不起的人
我认识他好几年了
，他有两个孩子，一个充满爱心的孩子
妻子，他是一个为社区做出贡献的上帝
，他
给了我们他所拥有的一切
，他每天都会骑自行车去学校
我永远记得他
骑着自行车
来学校，一天早上在去学校的路上
学校，那是一大早
他正在穿过一个十字路口，一个
不知从哪里冒出来的鲁莽司机
撞到了他，他当场死亡
在撞击的那一刻。
他的死教会了我很多
生活中有价值的事情
，其中之一就是它继续表明
，无论多少
你不应该死
，无论你是一个多么优秀的人
，无论你的处境如何
是，无论发生什么
，它都会表明死亡
是不可避免的和随机的
，它最终会消耗
我们每一个人
无论是 50 年后，还是 10 年后
几年，明年，甚至明天。
你无法控制它
你周围的人无法控制它。
只要你错了
在错误的时间地点
你的一生可能会消失
眨眼间
以及您所拥有的一切
希望你能做到
无论你是否在街上行走
无论你是否在步入电梯
无论你是否在走下楼梯
无论你是、是否
你只是存在而已。
听着，您会看到来自以下国家的人
没有任何地方会死于心脏病发作，消失
没有家族史，没有症状，没有原因，什么都没有
它发生了，这就是我们生活在
的残酷生活，这是我们无法控制的事情。
所以，我想澄清
是无论路径如何
你在生活中接受的
在某一时刻死亡会吞噬你
它并不关心你是否
早上用牙线
无论你是否养家糊口
无论你是否会继续致富，
贫穷、成功、失败
无论怎样，你仍然会走下去
在某一时刻死去，就这么简单
并且知道你会死
尽快应该是最大的动力
，让你在生活中做出艰难的决定
，并在早上起床。
所以，现在的问题是，什么
难道你真的必须失去吗？
如果你追求梦想却失败了
你肯定会有点失败
财务状况更加不稳定
您可能会感到压力或其他感受
你希望自己永远不必经历
，但无论如何，即使你失败了
最终将回到您开始的位置
，即您现在所处的位置。
那么，您实际上会失去什么？
你们中的一些人现在正在想
关于也许创业
你有一个好主意并且想要
融入您的生活方式
也许您正在考虑
全力追求你的梦想
也许你在想
关于投入工作
成为一名医生、一名工程师，
消防员、职业运动员
，但你们中的一些人不会遵循这些
野心是因为你害怕
你害怕失败，你让
对失败的恐惧决定了你的行动
你害怕妈妈或爸爸的想法
你害怕你的
姐姐，你哥哥认为
或者你爷爷，你奶奶
或你的堂兄弟姐妹或任何人。
但真正重要的是，你
你拥有天赋
你有天赋，无论天赋是什么
你可以让自己和周围的人
有了它，你会变得更强大、更好。
但有时这是唯一的方法
这样做就是要冒险
，如果你想做出这份礼物，你就必须迈出一步
你已经成为现实
否则，社会会很高兴
接受你作为朝九晚五的奴隶
，工作只是为了付清房租并
活着并为周末而活
，这绝对是最糟糕的生活方式。
如果你不跳相信我，
如果你不追求你的天赋
，你的生活将会充满遗憾
以及你的天赋、你的梦想和一切
你曾经必须向世界提供的
将与你一起死去。
根据第一手经验，
我对自己很生气
我很生气，我对自己的行为感到非常后悔
生活，我什至无法理解它。
不是关于，不是关于我所拥有的
已完成但尚未完成的
我拒绝的所有机会
以及我从未抓住的所有机会
只是因为我害怕或因为我
担心其他人的想法
，我正式决定坐下来
坐下来，我坐下来好几个星期了
我没有，我不只是想到我在说什么
现在，我不是一夜之间想到的
这是几个月的时间，这是几个月的思考
我刚坐下来写了
，然后比较了死亡的随机性
与失败的几率
坚持不懈地追求你的梦想
，而不是让你过上糟糕的生活
因为你未能追求自己的梦想
而不是现在就到此为止
过着传统的西方世界生活方式
，而不是你能想到的一切
的，与绝对的一切。
我可以很高兴地说这是对的
现在，从此时此刻开始
我宁愿把每一天都当作是我的最后一天
，并在这些过程中承担一切可能的风险
我现在在地球上拥有的神圣时刻
让自己尽可能成功和快乐
，而不是在我临终时坐在床上
90 岁了，后悔没有抓住机会
，并思考我的生活可以做什么
如果我在 18 岁
、15 岁或 22 岁时刚刚跳下去，
因为明天不是一个承诺
我宁愿为了实现自己的梦想而死去
，也不愿充满遗憾地活得更长。
生命太短暂了
安全生活是不可预测的
我亲眼所见，这不值得
过安全、基本和传统的生活
但你知道为什么大多数人选择这样生活吗
安全的生活胜过在生活中冒险吗？
我的意思是，有一个很好的论据不支持
，但为什么你-为什么你要冒
的风险，这会让你承受压力，
让你的家人承受压力
让你失眠，让你迷失
时间，让你投入额外的工作
让你冒 1 到 1,000 的荒谬机会
你知道，但在我继续之前
事实上，我什至坐在这里说话
它本身就非常荒谬
你出生的机会是1到400万亿
这个数字太大了你不能
甚至把你的头围在它周围。
但是好吧，我想说的是
人们不这样做的原因
想要承担这些风险
是因为现在他们觉得
就像他们会失去很多东西
，而且他们目前的情况相对较好
，最重要的是，现在他们很舒服。
他们习惯了按照社会标准生活
每天都和朋友在一起
时不时地，休息得更多
他们会感到舒服，当你
舒服一点，你不想动
，那个舒适区，我喜欢
称之为危险区
，因为这个舒适区会说服你
尽可能长时间地呆在那里
，它是-我知道，我知道怎么做
是的，我知道舒适区 -
太有说服力了，太令人信服了
很难摆脱舒适，我知道
，因为它说服你留下来
在那里，你会不知不觉地
- 当我说这句话时，我是这么认真的 -
你真的会看到你的一生都在你身边
以及我现在认真对待这件事的主要原因
是因为我对伟大感到愤怒。
我想移山
就像雷·刘易斯曾经说过的
“如果你不为伟大而生气
那么你就可以接受平庸”
，而我绝对不接受平庸
平均水平，我认为没有人应该如此。
但无论如何
来解释我为什么要谈论
首先
这一切都是因为我最近收到了一份工作邀请
搬到加利福尼亚州洛杉矶
与另外两位企业家住在一起
内容创作者和媒体影响者。
这让我很难过，因为
它让我睁开了眼睛看到
我真正拥有的是什么
未来等待着我的是什么。
这只是我的一小部分
在我短暂的一生中能够实现的目标。
但是，我怀疑我能否获得正确的合法权利
为移居美国而完成的文书工作
从事 YouTube 等工作
真的不在政府的控制范围内
，我最不想做的就是去
作为非法移民在美国从事非法工作。
所以从这一刻起，我觉得我已经
放弃另一个机会
，这让我觉得我只是继续让
我的梦想再次从我手中溜走
现在我已经看到了
现实的可能性
洛杉矶海滩旁的这座房子
在加利福尼亚州，拥有大城市
，气候宜人，工作
我绝对会喜欢和拥有共同理念的人一起生活
完全相同的梦想和愿景。
这让我想死了，是的，我会的
很高兴不懈地追逐这个梦想而死
然后根本就不再追逐它并谨慎行事
并被困在我自己的想法中
思考我的生活本来可以怎样。
我希望在我讲话的地方制作更多这样的视频
因为它们对我来说真的就像一种治疗方法
它可以帮助我转移注意力
，希望有些人可以
受我实际所说的影响。
我还想说我认为
教育极其重要
，对于取得成功起着至关重要的作用
进入你的生活，知识就是力量。
生命中最美好的事情就是
始终有一个后备计划
并考虑到，
如果出了问题怎么办？
这是每个榜样都应该做的事情
我所尊敬的并试图强制执行。
但我觉得教育永远
请在这里等我回到
，无论我是 20、25、40 岁还是其他
，我认为我有一个惊人的
想法、愿景、激情和动力
现在正处于我的巅峰时期
我能够利用
，这让我觉得我
如果我不追求它就扔掉它
以及最大的回应
我最近一直在获取
Marco，如果失败怎么办？
我的意思是，如果失败怎么办？
但这就是冒险的全部意义
像初创公司或创业之类的事情
风险高得离谱
比如，如果我被车撞了怎么办？
如果我丢了钱包怎么办？
或者更好的是，如果成功了怎么办？
你知道，这很容易
消极或思想封闭
但我认为这样做更容易
乐观、思想开放。
请帮自己一个忙，这是
下次单独讨论主题
，但尽量让自己周围的人都是这样的人
强加和促进积极性和良好的氛围
你会注意到巨大的
它对您的生活方式的影响。
自己创业或成为
自雇人士，尽管优选
并不完全需要任何
文凭或学位的类型。
我认为有了适当的商业计划
以及人们喜欢你的动力
正在观看此视频的人请给我加油
我觉得我可以完成任何事情。
如果你还在听，我爱你，疯狂
尊重，这才是真正的忠诚
尽管如此，这就是Marco。
我希望你们今天休息得很好
再见
我失败了很多，我失败了一些有趣的事情
我在一次关键的初选中失败了
两次学校考试
，我在中学考试中失败了三次
，你知道三年来我一直在努力
填写大学
，所以我申请了工作，
三十次被拒绝
我去找警察，他们
说“不，你不好”
我什至去了肯德基，当肯德基
来中国，来我的城市
你申请了吗？
24 人应聘，23 人
人们接受了，我是唯一的人。
我们去找了五个警察，其中四个
接受了，我是唯一没有收到的人。
所以，对我来说，被拒绝了，被拒绝了
哦，顺便说一下，我已经申请了
哈佛十次被拒绝
我知道我会被拒绝，我只是想看到
他们现在很抱歉
你必须理解我的朋友的一件事
是你应该失败
你应该失败，因为失败
是成功的垫脚石
你需要合理的理由
因为失败是一种失败
带来智慧的经历
最终使您成为
更强大的自己。
也许你有考试焦虑症，我不知道
但你能做的最糟糕的事情
停止与你的教授交谈
我不是 100% 确定，但我
知道你不能放弃。
只是因为你失败了
不会让你失败。
另一个陈词滥调或陈词滥调的故事
是关于托马斯·爱迪生的，
当一名记者问他时
你知道“这是什么？你怎么知道的”
感觉失败了 1000 次吗？”
他说“不，我没有失败 1000 次
我只是找到了 1000 种不同的
它不会起作用”
就是这样，就是这样
你怎么了。
但每次他找到一种方法
没有成功，他正在增加他的旅程
他了解到，他变得越来越坚强
某事，发现某事
你正在发现一些关于你自己的事情
并且你正在锻炼你的性格
每次你站起来尝试某事时，
朝某事的方向移动。
即使你没有得到那东西，
这与
无关，与组建篮球队无关，
这与赚百万美元无关
，也与灯泡无关。
这是关于你一路上学到的东西
你一路上成为了什么样的人
并且你正在旅途中，
猜猜这段旅程有多艰难
这段旅程充满了失败
这就是为什么大多数人不这样做
大多数人不愿意这样做
旅行是因为他们害怕失败。
我的朋友，你的祝贺失败了
这是最伟大的事情
你曾经发生过
，因为这表明你还活着，
它表明你做了一些事情
并且它表明
你正在变得更强大
现在再次失败
我希望，我希望观看这些视频的你们，
我希望你会失败一千次
继续前进并失败。
你知道这意味着什么，每个
当你失败时，这对我来说意味着
，它告诉我你正在做某事。
见了很多人，因为他们不想见
犯任何错误，都会让我们更上一层楼。
很多人都不想失败，
害怕失败，害怕成功
，猜猜还有什么，害怕未知。
你知道温斯顿·丘吉尔是什么
说到勇气帕特？
他说勇气是从失败中走出来的能力
失败而不失去热情
所以你想勇敢地坚持下去
你的梦想，不要失去热情。
洛杉矶的一个人
报纸的头版
他在考了48次后刚刚通过了酒吧
他有足够的理由
并找借口不接受
他儿子有一家律师事务所，他本可以
做过法律助理、文员。
人们突然
曾经嘲笑过这个家伙
他是个笑柄，
人们会那样对你。
你知道人们谈论约翰
小肯尼迪未能通过酒吧考试。
你在报纸上读过吗
他通过了吗？我没看到
，但他们对此有那么大的重视吗？
他会像他失败时那样通过吗？
不，你知道为什么吗？
人们喜欢看到你失败
他们喜欢看到这一点，人们就像
那，我不知道为什么要这样设置
我在高速公路上，交通堵塞了
你知道发生了什么
这是一场事故
，但人们把车停到一边
下车去看
，看看别人的痛苦。
这就是脱口秀如此受欢迎的原因，有些
人们喜欢听到别人的痛苦
他们陷入困境
然后他们在自己的痛苦中放大它
生活，因为这就是他们关注的全部
，他们决定多少次并不重要
我失败了，我要勇敢去追求。
我不在乎别人怎么说，
我不在乎他们怎么想
这是我想要的，
给了我生命的意义和价值
，之后你不断提醒自己
每次失败，每次挫折后
每次你被击倒
跌倒，我有句话
“如果生活将你击倒，请尝试降落在你的身上
回来，因为如果你能抬头，你就能站起来”
看到很多人因为失败
他们停止了，他们停止了相信。
让我与你分享一些事情，
你将通过失败走向成功
是的，十分之八的百万富翁
已在财务上破产。
你将通过失败走向成功。
失败多少次并不重要
失败多少次并不重要
人们告诉你你做不到
如果你不做也没关系
银行里有一毛钱
，你将通过失败走向成功。
有一些关于
我们感知成功的方式
导致其中之一
我们这个时代最大的悲剧
这就是成功人士
处于行业顶尖地位的人的信念，即
天赋是命运带来的
门票
他们到达终点线
，这是错误的
，这是错误的，因为它需要一段旅程，
到达顶峰所需的斗争、抓挠
山并将其扔出窗外
它完全减轻了最重要的事情。
在现实世界中，我们生活的世界
你是谁并不重要，你
永远无权获得结果。
胜利是战斗的产物
你能得到的最大帮助
当你进步时，曾经为自己做过
生活有起有落
，无论是好的还是坏的
糟糕的是，当事情变得艰难时
就是知道你正在经历
每一个成功者
每一个冠军、每一个创新者都走了
贯穿人类历史。
奋斗是美丽的
这是一个标志
你正处于什么之中
优秀与一般的区别。
这是必要的步骤，也是
你将采取的最重要的一步
因为99%的人无法超越它
世界看到了挣扎，看到了
艰难时期，我们要收拾行李
走开，受到恐吓。
但最好的，我告诉你他们
以不同的方式看待斗争。
就像没有健身就无法健身一样
健身房里的血、汗和泪
如果不努力，你就无法达成交易
如果你不努力，你就无法让事情发生
逆境中勇往直前。
当“不”这个词在你眼前出现时
这都是过程的一部分
胜利者继续前行
如果你想要的东西已经够糟糕了，你就知道
如果你想成为最好的，那么不舒服是一个要素
心态必须反映出最好的
对，让其他人关注冰山一角
你知道，卓越在于一切
表面之下看不见的东西。
所以，取平庸，铸就卓越
接受属于你的，并坚持下去
让全世界都看到
，因为现在
所带来的伤害是同样的事情
这将改变你以后的生活
