here's something that's important to relay to children that you are not your
accomplishments you are you and the only way you are gonna get better
at accomplishing things is to be 100% honest about the amount
of effort you put in and what the actual result of that effort is whether it's a
failure or a success that does not define you that defines your
participation in this particular activity it is not you you are an
individual that will hopefully learn from all of your endeavors but you're
never gonna learn if you lie to yourself you're never gonna learn if somebody
makes this nobody scores a point and there are no winners and there are no
losers and everybody's amazing that's not good because
that's not good because there's going to be people out there that are driven and
psychotic and they're gonna get ahead there's people that are task oriented
and goal oriented and they they have an idea ahead of them gonna try to figure
out how to make this happen they have a goal they want to reach it and if you're
competing with that person in any form of life and they're not burdened down by
the bullsh that we give so many kids today they're gonna have a massive
advantage and this idea that this kid who's been coddled and treated like he's
always gonna be a winner that somehow or another they're gonna be happier is
crazy stop doing the things that you know are wrong that you could stop doing
right so it's it's a fairly it's a fairly limited attempt first of all
we're not gonna say that you know what the good is or what the truth is in any
ultimate sense but we will presume that there are things that you're doing that
for one reason or another you know are not in your best interests there's
something about them that you just know you should stop there are kind of
self-evident to you other things you're gonna be doubtful about you're not gonna
know which way is up and which way is down but there are things that you're
doing that you know you shouldn't do now some of those you won't stop doing for
whatever reason you don't have the discipline or maybe there's a secondary
payoff or you don't believe it's necessary or it's too much of a
sacrifice or you're angry or resentful or or afraid who knows so forget about
those for now but there's another subset that you could stop doing it might be
little thing well that's fine stop doing it and see
what happens and what will happen is your vision will clear a little bit and
then something else will pop up in your field of apprehension that you will also
know you should stop doing and that you could stop doing because you've
strengthened yourself a bit by stopping doing the particular stupid thing that
you were doing before that just puts you together a little bit more and you could
do that repeatedly for an indefinite period of time and and you know that
doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to ever be able to formulate a
clear and final picture of what constitutes the truth and the good but
it does mean that you'll be able to continually move away from what's
untruth and what's bad and you know well that's not a bad start I was a fool in
my 20s I was such I had such low self-esteem and I was trying to find my
way just as all 20 year olds are how old are you I'm gonna be 20 you're gonna be 20
you're not even 20 no not yet
so this is the thing I would say to experience the 20s as an adventure in
learning about yourself it really is the opportunity where you get to discover
who you are what you want to do what your passion where your passion lies
you're supposed to do things figure out this doesn't really feel like where I'm
supposed to be in my life and then move on
listening to your instincts is really key in your 20s so that you don't mess
yourself up you know for really truly I did all my awful stuff including drugs
and wrong men and it's about discovering who you are and not giving over your
power to someone else and believing that anybody else defines your life that just
shows you again so much for it can't be done this is why I try to tell you
anything and everything can be done if you can visualize it and if you believe
in yourself it was the same thing again when I ran for governor you can imagine
when I went on at the night show and I announced that I'm gonna run for
governor of the great state of California people came to me afterwards
says you're crazy you don't announce something like this
under the night show you have an official press conference at the State
capital plus you don't start with governorship
you go start first with mayor or with state senator and I said I don't want to
be senator I don't want to be mayor I want to be governor don't you understand
that well the rest is history I won in 2003 and I won also in 2006 let me
tell you you're going to find the naysayers in every turn that you make
don't listen just visualize your goal know exactly
where you want to go trust yourself get out there and work like hell and
break some of the rules and never ever be afraid of failure just spoke to the
USC football team and I said something in there that really caught my attention
I said something I'm sure you'll edit and make it fly because that's how you
do it D-Rock for 80 or 90% of you this is gonna be the best this is gonna be as
good as it gets this is the prime this is the best and this rant is about
timing you need to be aware of when you have your big opportunities you squeeze
so hard when you've got that moment you have to understand that you will always
change if it's terrible right now it's going to get better if it is phenomenal
right now it is going to get worse that is just the way it's always been
I'm not smart it's just history so please if you take anything out of this
mini little rant for D-Rock it's about timing recognize your moments and strike
that has absolutely been the foundation of my success whether it was selling my
baseball cards when I just felt it whether it was the Internet itself
whether it was other things like starting Vaynermedia when I had all
these other opportunities but I wanted to triple down on my strengths during
this golden era sometimes they're fun sometimes they're taking a step back in
theory but it's all about knowing when to go all-in and the one thing we get is
regret when we didn't squeeze our best opportunity so when you're a football
player at USC that is a big time an opportunity because most of you don't go
to the league and most of you aren't successful in the league and this is
your apex and whether you're a manager in a store right now whether you're a
great student in high school whether you're awfully pretty right now but you
know you're not going yes pretty one day I'm being serious now
I know this is silly but when you have your best situation
when you have the leverage you need to strike and when you don't you don't pout
you put in the work to rebuild your next leverage I had YouTube I had Twitter and
when they weren't as big anymore I didn't cry that Instagram or Snapchat
came I put in the work to build myself back up and matter in that ecosystem and
now that I've got the Instagram moment again I'm pounding I'm pounding harder
than I did the last time because I learned because when pattern recognition
from experience you get better and so if this can inspire you if you're good
right now quadruple down and if it's not stay quiet and build and look for that
moment when you know it's good pound I need you to be very honest about
where you are in terms of what you're trying to do like where are you so for
those of you who like I want to be a millionaire I just need you to really be
like think through where are you financially like in terms of financial
literacy where are you in terms of financial discipline where are you and
in your past where are you do you spend money you don't have
so I heard somebody said he said today I thought it was fun right somebody was
talking about and I'm talking about mentality I need y'all to hear me can you can
you lift your own weight right can you lift your own weight so somebody would
say it like yo I don't know why y'all on the phone all proud of the fact that you
could change your own oil like why would you want to change your oil anyway
that's not your job right and somebody was like well I saved 140 dollars
he like saved one hundred and forty dollars but what if you made two
hundred and fifty dollars an hour no hear what I'm saying why would you
change your own oil to save 140 dollars when it took you three hours to do it
and somebody like yo so you said you always and I said look let me jump in
like I ain't trying to be disrespectful but first of all I didn't go to school
to change oil that ain't my job that's somebody's job let my man do his job
somebody else said that when he changed your oil because he went to school
there's some other stuff other the engine that he's see that you don't see
when you change the oil so why you saved a hundred and forty dollars you
miss something else that he would have helped you catch so that the life of
your car so you changed your oil but you didn't notice the three or four the
things that was missing I said look let's not talk about you
saving 140 here's the challenge you can't pull your own weight the challenge
is you shouldn't have a car that costs you a hundred and forty dollars to
change the oil when you ain't got a hundred forty dollars to change the oil you shouldn't
have that car in the first place why do you have a vehicle that the oil
costs 140 and you can't afford it why would you buy something that you got to
change the oil that's not your job and you know why you're doing it because
it's no longer a car to you now it's a status symbol and so we dealing with
something deeper you can't hold your own weight you bought something you can't
afford why the deeper issues because you got a self-esteem problem and so you got
shortcuts so you drive a car to make it look like you somewhere you are but when
you actually there you ain't gotta have a car that look like you there cuz you
there no hear what I just said when you're there you don't have to look like
you there cuz you there but when you're not there you can't pick your own weight
up you have to do stuff and now you didn't messed up your whole credit
because you bought a car so that people can think you somewhere that you not and
you've destroyed your whole future then if you can hold your own weight you can
drive around in a Ford Fusion and be I'm talking about comfort like a Range Rover
you can have that joy like a Range Rover
you getting out the Ford Fusion like what like you in a 745 like what
why because you ready are you hearing me you ready
