but I'm talking about just like I'm telling you, he's
a guy that's just a cool dude. And he don't
talk to you with crosses coming out of his mouth
(01:06):

to go for it? Because he was talking about success
and he was talking about it takes courage to be successful.
(01:51):
So see, if you don't want to be nothing, it
don't take no courage, because it takes courage to win.
You know, look, man, if you want to be regular,
if you want to just lay it down, you know,
if you don't want to make no waves, if you
(02:13):
want to be mediocre, if you want to just go
on and fit in, if you want to dress like them,
if you want to act like them, if you want
to walk like them, if you want to think like them,
if you want to do what they do, and you
ready to just let mediocrity have his way in your life,
then you don't need no courage. But if you want
(02:35):
to win, it takes courage. And once you make the
decision to win, they gonna talk about you because they
don't talk about nobody that ain't winning. When the last
time you heard a conversation about somebody that ain't winning, No, man,
(02:55):
they talk about you. If you win, it they talking
about you winning in hopes that take his see you fall.
If they see you stumbling from the top, you still winning.
But if they think they can see you stumbling here,
they talking about you. They try to find anything they
can to bring you down. But it takes courage. It
(03:16):
takes courage to be successful. It takes courage to win.
And he kept asking the question, do you have the
courage to win? Because when you start winning, y'all, you
got to be ready because they gonna talk about you,
They gonna take shots at you. They gonna throw rocks
at you, they gonna take aim at you. Ain't nobody
(03:40):
aiming at no losers because they're too easy to hit
because they down there already. See people only get credit
for shooting at somebody up. What good and listen to me.
I'm not I'm not. I'm not making fun of the
less fortunate by any way. But you don't nobody always
(04:01):
talking about the down try unless they're ignorant, just trying
to make theyself look better. No, man, you know what
gets you on the internet. You know what gets you viral.
You know what gets you streaming? When you start talking
about somebody that's about something, because you know what those
people are news. See, you're popular. When you start going viral,
(04:25):
when they start talking about you, it's because you win it.
You can't go viral on somebody that ain't nobody. So
y'all take heed, take heart, and take courage all at
the same time when they talking about you, because that
means you're moving, That means you're shaking them up. That
(04:46):
means you're giving them something to talk about. But in
order to do that, it's gonna take some courage. You've
got to be courageous, man. It don't take nothing to
mail it in it, don't take nothing to lay it down.
All you gotta do is say I'm through. I ain't
doing that no more, and it's done. It's over it.
(05:07):
But sit up and say I'm gonna finish. Sit up
and say I'm gonna see it through. Sit up and
say I'm gonna be the best. Sit up and say
I'm gonna fight it, I'm gonna try, I'm gonna fight,
I'm gonna win this one. See they talk about all
these fights that's going down and stuff, and they talking
about who fighting lamar Odham fighting Mayweather fighting this dude,
(05:30):
Chris Paul, he hego route Paul, whatever his name is, Paul.
Boys fighting over this, dude, This gout mcconnor fighting out here.
But the only reason they talking about is cause you
finna do something. They ain't talking about nobody that ain't fighting.
They ain't talking about nobody that ain't throwing no punches.
They ain't talking about nobody that didn't sign the contract.
(05:52):
The conversation is about the people who signed up to fight.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in
the arena. Now, I'm paraphrasing this thing that Teddy Roosevelt wrote,
because the whole way he did it wasn't for me.
But the credit belongs to the man who is actually
in the arena, whose face is marred with dust, blood,
(06:14):
sweating tears, Not to those cold and timid souls in
the stands who know neither victory nor defeat. They just spectators, man.
And the only reason they talking about you because it
looked like you trying to win. But it takes courage.
Be encouraged, everybody, go forward. Those are my clothing remarks.
(06:37):
