| − | “You can’t cheat the grind, it knows hows much you’ve invested, it won’t give you nothing you haven’t worked for.” - Eric Thomas | + | *"Listen to me. If you work for it. If you're willing to put in that sweat, that blood, those tears, baby I'm telling you, you can have what you want, be what you want, do what you want, can you hear me? It's yours. I'm coming. I'm telling you. It's yours. It's yours. You can have it. It's yours. You can do it. It's yours. You can be it. It's yours." - Eric Thomas<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLh0i9KoOuE Believe In Your Victory (Motivation)]</ref> |

| | + | *"If you want it like you want to breathe. If you want it like you say you want it, you can have it. If you are willing to persevere, if you are willing to fight for it, there is nothing you can't have if you are willing to work for it. You might be smarter. You might come from privilege. But you will not outwork me! If you want to be successful in life, you have to understand that there is a sense of urgency. You have to do things faster than your competitors. There are some guys who are at a whole different level. You have to separate yourself. I dare you to leave everything on the field. Get tired of losing. There is greatness in you. You can reach your full potential. Be what you were called to be. Do what you were called to do. Listen to me. Do not fear. I need you to understand. that you can have it, but it is going to be a fight. But if you are willing to fight, there is going to come victory." - Eric Thomas.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLh0i9KoOuE Believe In Your Victory (Motivation)]</ref> |

At 3 o'clock I went on my hour and a half walk with God. Came back in did some work, you might be smarter your family might come from privilege, your daddy might own a company, but you will not outwork me. You will not have more drive then i have. You will not have more passion then me. And I'll beat you every single day. You will not wake up in the morning because your spoiled, you will not wake up before 8, before 6. Pushups. I will Outrep you. Everyday I'm doing more and more. I'm doing sittups everyday. I will outwork you. If you show up, they can't outwork you... It's a whole lot of NBA players. When you watch the game you notice it's some lot of guys that's on a different level. I'll give you 3 things that's within these people that makes them do what they do...
