Work Hard In Silence Shock Them With Your Success

When everybody is against you and doesn't believe in you any more, it's a lonely feeling. Oh, it hurts very badly. I know what that's like. "Why don't you try something else?" They say as they look at you. Why don't you give up? Get away from those people that are in your life that aren't doing anything. Get away from people who hate you. Keep your distance from them.

If you plant an oak tree seed in a two-foot pot, it will never grow into the oak tree that oak trees are capable of because the two-foot pot will suffocate it. Now check this out, there ain't anything wrong with the seed. The seed just fell prey to the environment. Don't you let your surroundings shape you into the oak tree you are?

Every time you move from being normal to trying to be exceptional, people aren't going to like it. It makes those normal people feel like they're going to judge you. That's why every true leader is called weird. They're called eccentric. When you do the things of real leadership, you're going to be called strange. Get comfortable in your own skin so that when people laugh at you or throw stones at you, you can keep going.

I admire anyone who wakes up every day and works hard to live their life and lifestyle. Clubbing and hanging out are not for me, I'll be out here running in the hot sun practising while everyone else is clubbing and hanging out. You have the right focus, don't expect people to understand you, and don't expect it to make sense to anyone.

Why do you have to do this?

Why do you have to go?

Why do you leave this "Is a good job"?

I'm going "They pay you well"?

I'm going "Why? I don't understand"?

You don't have to. I'm going for myself. This is something. "How are you going to make it?" That is yours. But you've got to be willing to stand there and face disappointment, not have support, be lonely, be rejected again and again and again, become bankrupt if necessary, again and again, and refuse to turn around until life gives up. To a large extent, life will always be what you make of it.

Not what the circumstances make of it. Not what other people think of it. It will not be what others predict. Not what the environment will try and dictate to you. So when you're in ordinary life, get ready for the criticism. Prepare for competition if you're unusual. When you're out of the ordinary, expect people to misunderstand you.

If I decide to experience the fear of rejection, the fear of no, the fear of failure, the fear of standing by myself, the fear of people not liking me, what else is available to me? People are going to think you're crazy. You don't have anything but light in the corner of your pockets.

You already talked about living your dream and people are laughing at you and they're doubting you. It takes guts, ladies and gentlemen, but let me tell you I believe in revenge. Like Frank Sinatra said, the best revenge is massive success instead of killing them with kindness towards you and success.
