Floyd Mayweather - How Bad Do You Want Success? (Speech)

**SPEECH ATTACHED**

How Bad Do You Want Success? Floyd Mayweather 42-0 Professional Boxing Record. Speech by Eric Thomas aka The Hip Hop Preacher.

It was a, it was a young man who you know, he wanted to make a lot of money and so he went to this guru right. And he told the guru, "You know, I wanna be on the same level you on." And so the guru said, "If you wanna be on the same level I'm on, I'll meet you tomorrow at the beach at 4am." He like, "The beach? I said I wanna make money, I don't wanna swim." Guru said, "If you wanna make money, I'll meet you tomorrow. 4am." So the young man got there, 4am. He's all ready to rock and roll. Got on the suit, he shoulda' worn shorts. The old man grabs his hand, said, "How bad do you wanna be successful?" He said, "Real bad." He said, "Walk on out in the water." So he walks out into the water, watch this, when he walks out into the water he goes waist deep, so he's like "This guy crazy. How am I gonna make money he got me out here swimmin'? I didn't ask to be a lifeguard, I wanna make money." So he said, "Come out a little further." Walked out a little further, then he had it right around in this area, the shoulder area. "Yo this old man crazy, he makin' money, but he crazy." He said, "Come out a little farther." He came out a little farther. It was right at his mouth. My man like, "I'm about to go back in, he outta' his mind." So the old man said, "I thought you said you wanted to be successful." He said, "I do." He said, "Walk a little farther." He came, dropped his head in, held him down, hold him down, my man scratchin'. Just before my man was about to pass out, he raised him up. He said, "I got a question for ya, he said when you were underwater what did you want to do?" He said, "I wanted to breathe." He told the guy, he said, "When you want to succeed as bad as you wanna breathe, then you'll be successful. You don't care about no basketball game, you don't care what's on TV, you don't care about nobody callin' you, you don't care about a party, the only thing you care about when you tryin' to breathe is to get some fresh air. That's it. And when you get to the point, and when you get to the point where all you wanna do is be successful as bad as you wanna breathe, then you'll be successful." And I'm here to tell you. Number one. That most of you said you want to be successful but you don't want it bad. You just kinda' want it. You don't want it badder than you wanna party. You don't want it as much as you want to be cool. Most of you don't want success as much as you wanna sleep. Some of you love sleep more than you love success. And I'm here to tell you today, if you're going to be successful, you've got to be willing to give up sleep. You've got to be willing to work off of 3 hours of sleep, 2 hours, if you really want to be successful, some days you gonna have to stay up 3 days in a row. You will be successful.
