  • That underwater analogy got me. That's some deep stuff. I will definitely look for this book!

  • ET is on point but he missed one....DON'T BE A FLAKE OR FAKER. This is a nationwide epidemic that keep people from success in life. About 90% of people love telling others something they have no plans on fulfilling. If your word ain't shit...you ain't shit.

  • i wish i saw this before a level :(

  • How can someone dislike this video? I mean, i've heard lots of speeches, but one like this, I have never and I will never hear something stronger than this.

  • 100 views probably came from me watching this every week to keep myself going

  • GOD BLESS THAT MAN! this is the most epic, most powerful speech EVER. he is REAL, what he said was REAL. no more bull shit man. time to work hard.

  • @ironwolffirm yeah, because you think grown men and women who can't find a job and can't feed their families aren't trying. Then America's millionaires and billionaires who are currently attempting to buy this year's presidential election must just be working a million times harder. It's not that simple.

  • I've watched this video so many times, and it still hits just as hard every time.

  • He is motivating you to be "successful" involving the most material things in the world. Love is success, Love is food, LOVE is breath... Thas it...

  • It's amazing how powerful his words are.

  • what's up with 04:45?

    It changed my life, i'm doing fine and finishing school right know.

    This Man Is Amazing

  • Why is it that you are not referencing Eric's (the speaker in the video) Secret to Success Book? Why is it that you dont link his Youtube channel? "ericthehiphoppreacher"

  • Still liked it, much better than almost everything out there.

  • Nice job to the spokesman though, alot of sense is coming out of this man.

    He still has a lot to learn himself though and I dont believe a teacher should preach when he doesnt see the whole picture himself though.

    Watch Jiddu Krishnamurti for a second and see what that does to you.

    Not trying to be a dick, just expressing my opinion.

  • Sorry, but if you need someone else to tell you this...

  • 27 cried and then quit

  • Don't cry to QUIT, cry to keep GOING" mann that quote hit me hard cause everyone has there moments where they feel like crying and giving up cuz something is hard (i know i have) t

  • Word!

  • This helps me in life when times get hard I come here for the answers. God bless this man

  • Occupy Wall Street protesters - take notes

  • @ironwolffirm phhfffff u think all your millionairs got their money from hard work? get real man

  • This is the best motivational speech I've heard!

  • im listening to this while im studying for an exam

  • hmm why should i want to be succesful in order to let my body and friends behind?...where the fuck is the sense behind it?...to leave my girl alone so that i can buy prostitutes when i made money?

    to get a stroke to be able to pay for the cure of my heart condition?

    i don't understand this whole "succes" thing. in my opinion working all day to make money is far from success.

    maybe think about it before you prejudge what i just said.

  • @arynzerr hes talking about becoming successful taking up personal time, not abandoning personal life once you achieved success you retard, watch the video again you clearly need it

  • @arynzerr my friend success can be defined as many things these lessons he is teaching are not simply for making money, infact i use them for personal gain to boost my confidence in all things i do. he isnt just talking about making money but infact making a success of your in the sense, your are where u want to be in life. im not hating just trying to help u understand my friend

  • @arynzerr You sir, are not understanding what he is saying. the key is you have to be WILLING. He isn't saying you MUST. 

  • @jinzo530

    hmm yeah certainly understand that he says that you only can do it if you want to, what i don't understand is why so many people want to be "successful" - means, rich.

  • @arynzerr what are you talking about? to most people sucess means the achievement of a goal and happiness you dont have to leave your friends behind and neglect your health I dont know anyone who consider that a goal worthy of attainment (unless they are shitty friends). Are you saying you dont set goals for yourself or try to achieve happiness

  • @king78802

    happines is a mindset bro.

    also, this guy is speaking of seeing success more important than sleep, that is neglecting your health.

    i have the goal for my life, to live freely, earn a bit of money so i can collect some experiences...i love to hike with a few friends of mine...something like that.

    when do you think you will find happines if not right now?...what are you even waiting for?

  • @arynzerr he is saying you have to be able to commit and put all of your energy to meet your goals he is not saying to be a workholic to never sleep and enjoy yourself people dont need help rembering that everyone can do that but when it comes to really committing themselves to a goal people forget nothing in life come easy so they settle for less. You have to image that if a guy is willing to give up sleep/eating that he doing it because the end result will make him happy

  • @arynzerr In response to your last question I am grateful and happy for what I have which isnt much but I want more and I want to keep improving myself

  • Don't only work hard, but work smart and hard

  • This video has seriously inspired me to get off my ass, do good in school, get a good education, fix all the problems I have and live a good life.

  • Truth!

    

  • what was the name of the commercial

  • Most inspiring video I have watched in my life, this is a true legend

  • for the 26 people that disliked this video the guru should not have let u up 2 breath

  • Why is this not added to my favs?

  • Goin' to train now

  • man, this guy could turn a cat into a lion

  • if only i was black....

  • He had me until he started glorifying struggling and putting yourself through pain for the sake of putting yourself through pain. Struggling itself doesn't make you better. It's realizing you're worse than you can be, which you can do without struggling anyway. It's easy to say what he says. It's easy to be bombastic and say things with passion. Unless Eric Thomas has become a millionaire practicing what he preaches, his words are just words, not truth.

  • @XDXDXDXDXDXDXD Eric is saying that we can't give up when adversity comes. The strongest steel is the one that is tempered the most and is willing put under the heat the most times so that after completing the process it becomes stronger then it was before. Struggle is something we all battle with and those who take their struggles head on and refuse to bend when adversity comes find themselves stronger after that adversity is gone.

  • @backknuckle I understand what he is saying perfectly, thank you. Please take whatever inspiration you might derive from this video and go do something with it, otherwise it's just words. Even to Eric Thomas, they are just words, unless he has done something with it. Having been homeless and coming out of it doesn't make you inherently better. It just means you got out of somewhere you should not be anyway. It begs the question of how he got there in the first place.

  • @XDXDXDXDXDXDXD Even though it may seem Eric cannot back up what he is saying from his own experience, I know without a doubt others have done what he has preached and have become very successful. These are not just words from him, its an idea that many successful people experienced and all he's doing is passing along this idea.

  • @XDXDXDXDXDXDXD I read your previous comment about "unless eric thomas has become a millionaire practicing what he preaches, his words are just words, not truth"..... go visit his website by googling him and see what he has accomplished.Just his "Break the Cycle" program alone makes him a millionaire but not with greenbacks, that alone is paying in dividends with God, families who are getting their kids back in the home and school studying, neighborhoods are getting safer....

  • @XDXDXDXDXDXDXD You are also wondering how he got there in the first place. He said it, his mom put him there. He had to learn what it was to become a man in this society because he was messing up his life. He came back and is using what he learned to give back. You are at 24 years old and i know nothing about you but by your words I can easily see you are judgemental and critical but with air of politeness because you are not insulting @Backknuckle. Reading your words you seem offended..

  • @XDXDXDXDXDXDXD It seems you got the attitude of, "why is this guy so special, I don't see him making Bill Gates money, his words don't mean nothing cuz he has no grounds to stand on with his words" ...Do the research on him and you will see SUCCESS is not neccessarily Bill Gates money...its not even politician money. He has a level of success that is richer then any of them and he is passing on that knowledge for anyone to do the same.

  • @dvsmike Absolutely correct & thank goodness he is sharing the benefit of his experience.

  • I watch this daily!!! its humbling because I am the only standing in my way, I just have to remember how bad do I want it. I know I can its only will I

  • @artsygg go to hell fuckin pussy

  • @ITzJpiZzlE Thanks for the suggestion, but I'll pass. But thanks for alerting me about that VILE COMMENT! Eric Thomas is the truth and my personal hero!!! The punk that hacked my account (or username) is an ignorant, infantile, racist miscreant with a brain smaller than a speck of dust! I would prefer to call that person a Moronic A--Hole, but I told God I was going to stop cursing.

  • In other words..... Join the Illuminati lmao.,.

  • Youtube get rid of the comments.. They are pointless.. The comments should be about the video, not the likes dislikes or other comments about comments. ffs

  • @CalobTv ur comments not about the video

  • I listen to this when I wake up. I listen to this before I work out. I listen to this while doing my homework. I always watch these videos and get motivated for a day then forget about it. haha not this time, not this time. I'm gonna watch it every day as a constant reminder.

  • 24 people dont want to be successful...

  • why is there always dislikes on good videos like this ,, lol do they not want to breath or something:)

  • I am watching this on my cellphone...

  • 24 people are quitters...

  • This really touched me, every word he said has entered my heart and is never gonna leave, I am trying to be successful at rapping and I dont have (anything) to even start out, But I didnt need to watch this video because I already knew how bad I want this, but still every word that came out that man's mouth touched me and it was 100% real, I am striving for this dream, I am 16 and have no job or recording instruments, but I AM going to be a major rapper, be prepared to see my face in the future.

  • What does it mean when he says "[...] and you quit on 18-25?!"?

  • @lastgenerationsb 18-25 mins

  • @lastgenerationsb Bro he is talking about youngsters I mean teenagers

  • @Jamal3676 Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks, Jamal! Could you also tell me what he says at 5:28? "You will never be successful if I wouldn't have to give you a ??? to do you you do" Each time I listen to this speech I don't get that word, you know.

  • @lastgenerationsb "You will never be successful until I don't have to give you a dime to do what you do."
