so I'm gonna go see about uh, a job they get down there. - What job?

Stockbroker

Stockbroker?

Yeah

Not an astronaut? NEVER GIVE UP

But I listened to what Jim Bob Arnold said 21 years ago

The most poignant seven words ever uttered in any speech anywhere

Don't give up. Don't ever give up.

Those great people didn't.

So...

I now have a responsibility to also not ever give up.

I'm not special.

I just listen to what the man said.

There are sometimes in life

where you fall down

and you feel like you don't have the strength to get back up.

I will try one hundred times to get up

and if I fail one hundred times

If I fail and I give up do you think that I'm ever (going to) gonna get up?

No.

But if I fail I try again...

and again... and again.

For as long as I try there is always that chance of getting up.

No matter what you might be going through

don't quit.

The secret is in not giving up.

Everybody who has done something great

they weren't that deep.

But they had was resilience.

They had the ability to bounce back.

All the greats, they didn't quit.

No matter how impossible your situation may seem

stay on course.

I guarantee you can not pass it if you quit.

I guarantee you are going to fail

but you don't know what's gonna happen if you keep going.

I'm fragile.

I feel pain.

I hurt.

I open my eyes.

I crave victory.

I do not give up.

I feel no fear.

I fear no man.

I create.

I conquer.

I hold the power.

Make a choice

Just decide

what it's going to be

who you are going to be

how you are going to do it.

Just decide.

And then from that point

the universe is going to get out of your way.

We can't have another bad year.

You've got to get to the point where enough is enough.

It's much easier to come up with excuses of why you can't do it.

If you do what is easy

your life will be hard.

If you do what is easy

complain about your situation, your circumstances

surrender and give up on your dreams

become depressed

and bitter and angry.

Anybody can do that. If you do what is easy

your life will be hard.

But if you do what is hard

keep coming back again and again and again

get up dressed every day

Take life on.

Taking life by the collar

you say: yes!

I will do it!

I can do this.

And you've said yourself I'm willing to face the no's.

I'm willing for people to laugh at me.

I'm willing to gut this out

I'm willing to make this happen.

It's my time.

It's possible.

It's necessary.

It's hard.

It's worth it.

I'm going to do whatever it takes

I can do this. Anybody that has done this at any point in time.

In history

then what's possible for one

It's possible for me!

And I'm going to do it.

And if you do that over and over and over again

Your life will be easy.

Tomorrow is going to be your first day.

If you'd like to work here as a broker.

Would you like that Chris?

Yes, sir.
