Speaker 1: the war. From this day forward, from this day forward,

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't want you rearranging the deck chairs on the

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: Titanic of your life. Why are you arguing with somebody

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: who does not matter about a topic. They do not

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: understand you on a vision, they do not see about

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: a plan they do not understand and have not developed yours.

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: Why are you arguing with that person? To argue with

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: a fool proves there are too step move, keep it moving,

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: focus on your dream. Life's about how you respond, how

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: you respond, how you respond respond by believing in yourself.

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: Folks say that you won't make it. Folks say that

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: the barriers are too high. Folks say discrimination will kill you.

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: So why trying all that's wrong. I'm gonna give you

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: a formula to day that over the round it, through it.

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: No matter what is coming at you, you'll get to it.

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: Here is your formula to succeed. Write this down. There

21
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: are five pillars of success. This is from my book

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: Up from Nothing. Number one as much educations you can

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: shove down your throat. Once you have it, no one

24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: can take it from you. Number two. Understanding the math,

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: financial literacy, how wealth works. Even if you want to

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: distribute money like a socialist, you've got to first collected

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: like a capitalist. Understand where wealth comes from. Because if

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: you're poor, you can't help anybody help themselves. You gotta

29
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: give to yourself first. And we live in a capitalist democracy,

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: but it is a capitalist democracy. Understand what wealth creation

31
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: is and how to produce some for yourself. It starts

32
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: with financial literacy. That's number two. Number three family structure

33
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: and resiliency. Number four Self esteem and confidence. Those two

34
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: things are different. You're confident because you're competent. You're good

35
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: at what you do. You're good at work. You're good

36
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: being a homemaker. You're good being a domestic engineer, a

37
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: mother or a father at home. You're good raising children.

38
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: You're good as an environmentalist. You're good as an engineer.

39
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: You're good as an attorney. You're good as a trash collector.

40
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: What did doctor King say, if you're a trash collector,

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: be the best trash collector. The world's ever seen be

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: excellent at it. So if you're competent, you'll have confidence,

43
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean you have high self esteem. Think

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: about it. Self esteem is how you esteem yourself. If

45
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't like me, I'm not gonna like you. If

46
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: I don't feel good about me, I'm not gonna feel

47
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: good about you. If I don't respect me, don't expect

48
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: me to respect you. If I don't love me, I

49
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: don't have a clue how to love you. And here's

50
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: a big one. If I don't have a purpose in

51
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: my life, I'm gonna make your life a living hell.

52
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: Because whatever goes around comes around. That's self esteem, and

53
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: not enough of us esteem ourselves. That's why the world's

54
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: all screwed up. Half of us are depressed and being

55
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: manipulated and preyed upon by so called leaders who are

56
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: praying on our fears and our insecurities. The Bryant Minute
