Hustling out to build where I am... Do you have that dedication to make it?...
[17:28] - You have to start with a plan, go back, what is your vision and how do you build your plan around to get there. Does it make sense? Do you need to re-adjust it?... There is always a way... You have to be flexible, think outside the box, you got to listen to people who know, learn from people and find the way to make it happen...
[18:59] - There is also stuff you are gonna learn that only life can teach you as you get older... all the shit changes so much your life... F--k WoW look where I was and look where I am today... It's part of the process...
[19:18] - If you have to give me a piece of advice that I will take right now that will help me so that when in 20 years when I watch this I'll say: Thank God I took this advice. What would that advice be?...
[20:41] - "Life is a game, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes you are up, sometimes you are down. It is about to being able to roll with the punches. Play the game. Don't take life so serious!"
[22:25] - To be grateful for even your shitest experiences because hopefully those are the ones that mold you if you can find the positive and benefit to it and not the negative to it... Look everything as a learning experience... that's what I see life now...
[23:03] - What is the meaning of success to you?... When I measure success, I measure of the fulfilment and happiness I what I feel inside of me when I look me in the mirror...
[26:28] - I don't read a lot... I listen more... I am more like a Soldier... I go on the streets and learn shit like failure... My greatest books... People think because you read a lot of books make you smart... Most of these... Gurus are self made...
[28:41] - At the end I tell people what works for you, there is not one way or one recipe. Everybody has their own way to make it. Find your way, take a little bit from everybody, see what works for you and make it your own... That's it that's all!!
[29:22] - What would be your "Words 2 Success"?
