I advise students as much as possible look for the job that you would take if
you didn't need a job I mean in that don't sleepwalk through life and don't
don't say it's all gonna be great you know I'll do this and I'll do that you
know I'm just marking time until I get to be older that I've told people that's like
saving up sex for your old age I mean it just is not a it it's not a good idea
yeah what are you urging them to do
guess what I'm talking about it just yeah you really want to be doing what
you love doing and you can't necessarily find it on your first job right but
don't give up before you find it do not quit successful people are extremely
persistent they do not quit when it gets tough and it will get tough I don't care
how passionate you are about what you're doing I don't care how much you love it
whether you love it or you don't there's gonna be ups and downs in life and
whatever you're pursuing whatever kind of big goal you set for yourself
especially if you set those big goals they're gonna be challenging they're
gonna require you to grow they're gonna require you to step outside your comfort
zone and that means emotional labor will be
involved that's okay but to to make sure that you get through that and to get to
your ultimate objective of success you're gonna have to have persistent and
you can't quit when the going gets tough so you know maybe you're working on a
project and something's not working out the way you want something slips
something fails and you're really tempted to quit and throw in the towel
or maybe there's a relationship and you're trying to work it out but it's
not working and you're tempted to drop it you're tempted to quit there you know
whatever part of your life you really wanna quit or drop right now if you're
in that kind of point you gotta push through it if it's really aligned with
your values and aligned with your purpose if it's not aligned you can you
can drop it in fact you should but otherwise you have to be very very
persistent if you read biographies of the most successful people throughout
human history business leaders social leaders politicians celebrities actors
you know that just the underlying theme of all those biographies and all their
histories is that they were very very persistent and they were okay with
failure in fact most of these people they were so successful because they
failed so much that they just couldn't their success was inevitable because
after you fail thousands of times you start to learn your lessons and you
start to get good and the human brain is really really really stubborn and it
doesn't tend to learn from success as much as it does from failure so when
you're failing a lot don't get discouraged
push on persevere go through your hardest moments because those hardest
moments that you go through that's where you learn your biggest lessons and those
are what grow you to be able to handle bigger and bigger challenges to
accomplish more and more and get that kind of success that you want and these
are also coincidentally the proudest moments of your life the moments of your
life that you will never ever regret so never quit when you're doing something
that's important to you when I was young there was an amazing publication called
the Whole Earth Catalog which was one of the Bible's of my
generation it was created by a fellow named Stuart brand not far from here in
Menlo Park and he brought it to life with his poetic touch this was in the
late 60s before personal computers and desktop publishing so it was all made
with typewriters scissors and Polaroid cameras it was sort of like Google and
paperback form 35 years before Google came along it was idealistic overflowing
with neat tools and great notions Stuart and his team put out several issues of
the Whole Earth Catalog and then when it had run its course they put out a final
issue it was the mid 1970s and I was your age
on the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning
country road the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so
adventurous beneath it were the words stay hungry stay foolish it was their
farewell message as they signed off stay hungry stay foolish and I've always
wished that for myself and now as you graduate to begin anew I wish that for
you stay hungry stay foolish thank you all very much
my biggest thing I would tell myself is really to just focus on what makes you
happy you know like don't listen to what everyone else is telling you like your
parents are pushing you in this direction your friends are trying to get
you to do this ask yourself look at yourself in the
mirror and ask yourself what do I want for myself you know and that was when I
was growing up it was always me pleasing my parents pleasing my friends trying to
fit in but I never once asked myself what makes me happy what do I want to do
and I think my biggest advice is really just taking the time and really just
finding quiet time giving yourself moments to reflect on on where you want
where you want to see yourself in the next 10 years and really like being
really realistic not about I want to impress my friends I want to have a nice
car and have an amazing career it's not about what everyone else wants it's
about what you want one of the things that we do that totally prevents us from
moving forward and excelling in our lives careers relationships and
everything is surrounding ourselves with people that we really probably shouldn't
be associating with you are all right your success is going to be the average
of the five people that you spend the most time with during the day now this
is tough all right because you think about right now take an inventory of your
five closest friends or the five people during the day that you spend the most
time with are they losers are you not exactly
happy with where you are right now well guess what they're not going to raise
you up to the top okay they're not gonna make you look better they're going to
bring you down successful people surround themselves with successful
people me personally you know who I want to be friends with I wanna be friends with
people that are smarter better that that are more successful I want people
that are like here in my mind alright I want to be here I want to be the low man
on the totem pole why because I'm gonna scurry up that
freaking ladder like a like a squirrel chasing a nut
all right guys surround yourself with successful people if you're currently
hanging out with people that don't have drive don't have motivation that are
kind of losers lovable losers but losers nonetheless reevaluate your
current circle and adjust if this means you've got to cut some ties or maybe not
hang out quite so much it's okay if you need to seek out other people to bring
them into your life into your circle I suggest you do that as well I mean
you're enjoying great riches and success now but can you put yourself in the
mindset of the guy who's waiting in line with other people always I'm you
do you remember what that guy was thinking were you daydreaming of this was that even
possible is daydreaming but of course I can go back and think there you know
that's I lived there I'll always be there you know I show up a
work every single day like I'm not in the position I'm in like I'm not me so
that's the mindset I have in this book the one that I was just reading over the
weekend he talks about the fact that you know what if times are bad for you right
now if the wind is blowing in your face
right now just hang in there because the wind can change the wind will change and
if the wind's in your face the wind can change and be on your back to be at your
back and propel you forward and and I really struggled with this message I
really had a difficult time with it because I've listened to so much of Jim
Rohn and because if you if you know anything at all which I'm an amateur but
if you know anything at all about sailing it doesn't matter what the wind
is doing if it's at your back or if it's in your face there is a way for you to
move forward if the wind is in your face and you have a sailboat you just go back
and forth and back and forth using that same wind to go forward I will tell you
there's a group of people who are crossing their fingers today and they're
waiting for the wind to change there's a group of
people who are hoping and praying that the wind changes and what I want to tell
all of you if you're if any of those people are you is you don't need to wait
for the wind to change the wind which ever way it blows can be your friend if
it's in your face you have a different approach to how you move forward if
it's from the side you have a different approach to how you move forward if it's
at your back there's gonna be times when it's at your back sure everybody can
move forward quickly when the winds at your back but when it's not and it's not
most of the time you have to have a strategy to move forward we can change
the sail and we can have total control regardless of the wind we can decide
which direction we're going to go regardless of the wind we don't have to
wait for something out there to happen in order for us to be okay it's not out
there ladies and gentlemen it's in here it's not out there it's in here so not
only do you need to take charge when it comes to setting the sail of your life
we need to let the whole world know while they're all waiting for this wind
to change and it might and it may change of course at some point it's going to
change but it may not change for some people for a long time we can give them
an opportunity and the skills to be able to prosper regardless of the
direction of the wind to you get what I'm saying to you it's not out there ladies
and gentlemen it's right in here once you get that you realize how much
power you actually really have in controlling the direction of your life
everything will change for you
