Most people don't reach their

dream not because of failure most


people don't live their dream
because they give up you see it's
not the failure that stops us but that
most stopped at their first failure
those who succeed don't stop at
one failure they don't stop at ten
failures they don't stop at a
hundred one thousand or million
they say this is Michael and I will
do whatever it takes to achieving I
will learn the lessons from any
failures I will learn faster I will
work harder I will work smarter
and I will not quit until my dream
is a reality that's the difference
between success and failure failure
is a massive part of being able to
be successful you have to get
comfortable with failure yet you
have to actually seek failure failure
is where all of the lessons are you
know when you go to the gym and
you work out you're actually
seeking failure you want to take
your muscles to the point where
you get to failure because that's
where the the adaptation is that's
where growth is successful people
will fail a lot they fail a whole lot
more than they succeed they
extract the lessons from the failure
and they use that the energy and
they use the wisdom to come
around to the next phase of success
got to take a shot you have to live
at the edge of your capabilities you
gotta live where you're almost
certain you're gonna fail the reason
for our practice practice is
controlled failure you're getting to
your limit getting to your limit
getting to your limit you can't lift
that you can't do that you until you
get to the point that all of a sudden
your body makes the adjustment
and then you can do it failure
actually helps you to recognize the
areas where you need to evolve so
fail early fail often fail forward
failure makes winner stronger
failure makes winners hungrier but
it makes most give up it makes
most feel worthless winners don't
enjoy failure but they would never
let failure stop them next time you
encounter failure you got to
remember every great thing on this
planet is here because the Creator
learn what did work but learn more
from what did not work when we
are kids we don't stop at failure we
first learned to ride a bike it's
failure after failure we get knocked
down time after time but we get up
and push full it's a wheel chief our
goal of riding the bike but then we
get old and most of us get weak we
are too soft to get back on the bike
we come up with excuses it must
not be for me no he's just soft no
you just lazy tell yourself the truth
get back on the bike learn why you
fail and make sure you don't fall
again make sure you are stronger
for having the lesson you know it's
always a little bit frustrating to me
when people have a negative
relationship with failure fail early
fail often fail forward you're here
right now at this moment because
tomorrow you want to be
somebody greater than the person
you are today you see yourself
succeeding you have a vision you
have a dream congratulations
you're already ten steps ahead of
95% of the world imagine if
Michael Jordan was scared of
missing he would have never taken
a shot imagine if Steve Jobs was
afraid of people not liking his
product there would be no iPhone
so ask yourself this do you want to
be a person who fears failure or do
you want to be a person who loves
success which one is your gonna
have to pick today and I'll tell you
one thing one is a failure and one is
a success and if you love success
there is nothing that can stop you
all those negative things people say
will mean nothing they're gonna
talk about how only 1% make it to
the top big deal want to know
something else only 1% stick with
that Fitness program long enough
to see results only 1% of nerds
stick with that video game long
enough to get good at it only 1% of
relationships stick it out to the end
that doesn't mean you have a 1%
chance it just means you can't
behave like the 99% you'll have to
do something better than giving up
a month from now those are just
numbers you want to talk about
numbers take a look around you
and take a good look around you
are you like 99% of the people
around you if you are then you're
in the wrong video my friend you
have to love success just as much
because that's gonna allow you to
get up and go for it being scared to
fail won't do anything in fact when
you love success and you start
going for it guess what happens
you're gonna fail you're gonna fail
ten times a hundred times maybe
even a thousand times but that's
okay failure isn't permanent falling
isn't permanent you get right back
up and keep going and this time
you're gonna be stronger wiser and
you'll be more driven than ever and
for every ten failures you'll land
one success you have to love
success so much that you're willing
to fail ten times before you can
succeed once that's how winner
does it I want to explain the biggest
myth that most people think leads
them to success and here's the
myth you might believe if you're
scared to fail you won't fail
[Music] lies biggest myth ever and
I believed it you see I always
thought that being scared to fail in
life would literally keep me from
failing I would look at the losers
around me and I would say sheesh
I never want to turn out like him I
really believe this train of thought
would help me succeed until one
day I was walking down the street
and I saw an old man had a hat
suspenders and a cane was about
80 years old this old man was
barely walking he could walk but
the cane helped a lot he was
struggling so anyway he was
walking across the street and he
ended up falling so I wanted her to
go help him and he gets up says
thank you and we introduce
ourselves had a little conversation
told me his name and I told her
mind his name was Robert by the
way and right as he walked away I
told him this is what I said Robert
you should stay inside where it's
safe my friend and Robert turns
around and says to me I love
walking and I love walking way
more than I'm afraid of falling so I
asked him well what about your
safety don't you want to live and he
told me this these are the exact
words he said he said this solo
living means doing what you love
to do and if I had to fall here and
there to do what I want to do in life
then so be it and he just walked
away never saw him again that was
it but that statement really had me
thinking and it had me thinking
hard because I learned something
that day that's when I realized the
true key to success you see I
always thought if I could just fear
the act of failing and if I fear it like
crazy I will succeed because I
thought the fear would magically
motivate me to get out there and
start taking action but after that day
I realized something I realize it's
the love for success that will lead
me to succeeding so just imagine if
Robert feared falling would he
even start walking of course not he
wouldn't even do what he loved to
do he would sit at home and say no
type of action but he loved walking
wasn't even scared to fall he gave
him life that's what allowed him to
get up and do it he loved walking
so much he was willing to fall 10
times a day just to do it and you
had to be the same so the next time
someone tells you you're gonna fail
you know what you tell them tell
them they're right but you're not
afraid of fail you're not afraid to
take action you're not afraid to
jump you're gonna fail 10 times but
you know what it's cool because on
the 11th time you'll succeed oh
you'll succeed alright and it'll feel
good and while you're over here
living the life of your dreams and
complete happiness guess where
they're gonna be that's right they'll
be failures the real failures over
there where it's safe scared to fail
ironic isn't it you know a lot of
people come up to me and they ask
me Marco what is it that motivates
you most and to answer their
question I reply back with a
question I say what if I told you
that you had one week left to live
would you regret not pursuing your
dreams passions and desires would
you regret not living your life to
the fullest would you regret not
spending as much time with your
any friends or loved ones you
know Steve Jobs said in a speech
one time that he used to wake up
every morning look in the mirror
and ask himself questions like this
and he said that if the answer was
yes for too many days in a row
then he knew that he had to change
something and that should go for
all of us if you're living a life that
you would not be okay with losing
because you were able to do things
you wanted to do then now you
know that you need to change
something life is simply too short
and unpredictable to not live
exactly the way that you please it is
ridiculously unpredictable it is
possible that on any given day to
die at any point throughout that
day without ever being able to see
it coming you know when I was 13
I had this teacher who was an
absolutely amazing person I've
known him for several years then
and he had two kids a loving wife
he was a man of God contributed
to the community he gave us
everything that he had and he
would bike to school every single
day I always remember him come
to school on his bike and one
morning on his way to school it
was early in the morning he was
crossing an intersection a reckless
driver comes out of nowhere hits
him he dies on the spot on the
moment of impact his death taught
me so many valuable things in life
and one of them being that it went
on to show that no matter how
much you don't deserve to die and
no matter how good of a person
you are and no matter what your
situation is no matter anything it
goes to show that death is
inevitable in random and it will
eventually consume each and every
single one of us whether it's in 50
years in 10 years next year or even
tomorrow you cannot control it the
people around you cannot control
as long as you're at the wrong
place at the wrong time your whole
life could disappear in the blink of
an eye along with everything you
wished you could have done
whether you're walking down the
street whether you're stepping into
the elevator whether you're
walking down the stairs whether
you're whether you're just existing
listen you'll see people from
nowhere die of a heart attack gone
no family history no symptoms no
causes nothing it happens and
that's the cruel life that we live in
and it's something that we cannot
control so what I want to make
clear is that regardless of the path
that you take in your life at one
point death will consume you it
doesn't care whether you floss your
teeth in the morning whether you
raise a family or not whether you
go on to be rich or a success a
failure whether whatever you are
still going to die at one point it is
that simple and knowing that
you're going to die soon should be
the biggest motivation to both
make the difficult decisions in life
and to get your ass out of bed in
the morning so now the question
becomes what is it that you truly
have to lose if you pursue your
dreams and you fail sure you might
be a little bit more financially
unstable you might experience
stress or other feelings you wish
you never had to experience but
either way even if you fail you will
end up back to where you started
which is where you are now so
what do you literally have to lose
some of you right now you're
thinking about maybe starting the
business you have a great idea that
you want to incorporate into your
lifestyle maybe you're thinking
about pursuing your dreams to the
fullest maybe you're thinking about
putting in the work to become a
doctor an engineer a firefighter a
professional athlete but some of
you won't follow these ambitions
because you're afraid you're afraid
to fail you let the fear of failure
dictate your actions and you're
afraid of what mom or Papa thinks
you're afraid of what your sister
your brother thinks your or your
grandpa your grandma or your
cousins or whoever but what truly
matters is you you are in
possession of a gift you have a
talent and whatever that talent is
you can make yourself and people
around you a stronger and better
place with it but sometimes the
only way to do that is to take a risk
at one point you have got to take a
leap if you want to make that gift
that you have become a reality
otherwise Society will gladly
accept you as a nine-to-five slave
working just to pay off your rent
and to stay alive and to live for the
weekend which is the absolute
worst way to live if you don't jump
believe me if you don't pursue your
gift you will live a life full of
regret in your gift your dreams
everything that you ever had to
offer to the world will die with you
from firsthand experience I am
pissed off at myself I'm pissed off
and I regret so much in my life I
can't even fathom explaining it not
about not about what I've done but
what I haven't done all the
opportunities that I turned down
and all the chances that I never
took just because I was afraid or
because I was worried about what
other people think and I officially
decided to sit down I sat down for
weeks I didn't I didn't just think of
what I'm saying right now I didn't
think of it overnight this is months
this is months of thinking and I just
sat down and I just wrote and after
comparing the randomness of
death versus the chance of you
failing while relentlessly pursuing
your dreams versus the chance of
you living a terrible life because
you failed that pursuing your
dreams versus just calling it a day
right now and living a traditional
Western world lifestyle versus
everything you can think of versus
absolutely everything and I can
gladly say that right now as of this
moment right here I would rather
live each day as if it were my last
and take every risk possible in
these sacred moments that I have
on earth now to make myself as
successful and happy as possible
then to be sitting in my deathbed
when I'm 90 years old regretting
not taking a chance and thinking
about what my life could have
been if I just jumped when I was
18 or when I was 15 or when I was
22 because tomorrow is not a prom
I would rather die trying to live my
dreams than to live a longer life
filled with regrets life is too short
and too unpredictable to limits I've
seen a first ten it is not worth it to
live it safe basic and traditional but
do you know why most people
choose to live that bat safe life over
taking risks in their life I mean
there's a pretty good argument not
to what why would you why would
you take a risk that puts you
through stress puts your family
through stress makes you sleep
makes you lose time makes you
put in the extra work makes you
take ridiculous chances that are 1
to 1,000 you know but before I
even continued the fact that I'm
even sitting here and talking it is
astonished Lehrer dick Ulis on its
own the chance of you being born
is one to four hundred trillion that
number is so big you cannot even
wrap your head around it but ok
what what I wanted to say was that
the reason why people don't want
to take these risks is because right
now they feel like they got a lot to
lose and that their current situation
is relatively nice and most
importantly right now they are
comfortable they got used to living
basic within society standards
being with their friends every now
and then being well-rested they got
comfortable and when you get
comfortable you don't want to
move in that comfort zone I like to
call it the danger zone because this
comfort zone will persuade you to
stay in there for as long as possible
and it is I know I know how it is I
know the comfort zone it is so
convincing it is so hard to escape
comfort I know and as it persuades
you to stay in there you will
literally unconsciously see I'm so
serious when I say this you will
literally see your whole life go
right by you and the main reason
that I'm serious about this now is
because I am pissed off for
grayness I want to move mountains
and let grey Lewis once said if
you're not pissed off for greatness
then you're okay with being
mediocre and I am definitely not
okay with being average and I
don't think anyone should but
anyways to address why I'm even
talking about any of this at all in
the first place is because I recently
got an offer to move out to Los
Angeles California to live with two
other entrepreneurs as a content
creator and media influencer and it
makes me sad because it's opened
up my eyes to see what I truly have
in store for me what's waiting for
me out there in the future and it's
just a tiny glimpse of what I'm
capable of achieving within my
short life however I doubt that I
could get the right legal paperwork
done in order to move to the u.s. to
work for a job such as YouTube
which is really non control of the
government and the last thing that I
want to do is to go to the u.s. to
work in a legal job as an illegal
immigrant so as of this moment I
feel like I have to pass up yet
another opportunity and it makes
me feel like I just keep letting my
dreams live for my hands once
more and now that I've seen the
reality of what is possible this
house in LA next to the beach on
California with the huge city great
weather and working a job that I
would absolutely love and live for
with people who share the exact
same dream and vision it has me
thinking like hell yeah I would
gladly die chasing this dream
relentlessly then never chase it at
all and play it safe and being
trapped within my own mind of
thinking about what my life could
have been I hope to do more videos
like this where I speak because
they're really like a therapy for me
and it helps me get my mind off
things and hopefully some people
can be influenced by what I'm
actually saying I would also like to
say that I think education is
extremely important and plays a
crucial role in to bringing success
into your life and that knowledge is
power the best thing in life is to
always have a back-up plan and
take into consideration what if
something goes wrong and it's
something that every role model
that I look up to tries to enforce but
I feel like education will always be
here for me to come back to
whether I'm 20 25 40 or whatever
and I think that I have an amazing
idea vision passion and drive now
in my peak and that I'm able to
capitalize on which makes me feel
like I'm throwing it away if I don't
pursue it and the biggest response
that I've been getting recently is
Marco what if it fails which I mean
yeah like what if it fails but that's
the whole point of taking chance
with things like startup companies
or entrepreneurship it's ridiculously
high risk like what if I get hit by a
car what if I lose my wallet or
better yet what if this succeeds you
know it's easy to be negative or to
be closed-minded but I think it's
easier to be optimistic and to be
open-minded and please do
yourself a favor which is a separate
topic on its own for another time
but try to surround yourself with
people who impose and promote
positivity and good box you will
notice the tremendous effect that it
has on your lifestyle starting your
own business for being self-
employed although preferable
doesn't exactly require any kind of
diploma or degree and I think that
with a proper business plan and
with the drive that people like you
who are watching this video fuel
me with I feel like I can
accomplish anything if you're still
listening I love you mad respect
that's true loyalty right there if a
less this has been Marco I hope
you all have a great rest day and
goodbye a lot of fail I fail for
funny things that I food a key
primary school tests for two times
and I filled like a three times for
the middle school you know for
three years I tried fill in the
universities so I applied jobs for
thirty times got rejected I went for
a police they say no you're not
good I went to you know even the
KFC when KFC came to China
come to I say you see 24 people
went for the job 23 people
accepted I was the only one guy
and we went for please five people
all of them accepted I was the only
guy did I receive receive it so to
me pain turned down rejected out
by the way I told you that I would
apply for Harvard for ten times
rejected I know one things you got
to understand my friend is that
you're supposed to fail you're
supposed to fail because failure is
the stepping stone to success you
need the logical reason why
because failure is an experience
that lends to wisdom that
ultimately makes you a stronger
version of yourself maybe you got
a test anxiety I don't know but the
worst thing you can do is quit talk
to your professor I'm not a hundred
percent sure but I know that you
cannot quit just because you fail
doesn't make you a failure another
one of these cliches or cliches
stories is about Thomas Edison
right whenever reporter asked him
you know what is it that how did
you feel about failing a thousand
times and he said no I didn't fail a
thousand times I just found a fit
thousand different ways that it
wasn't gonna work and that's what
so that's what's happening with you
but every time he found a way that
didn't work he was adding to his
journey he was growing stronger
he learned something he
discovered something you were
discovering something about
yourself and you're exercising your
character every time you get up
and try something move in the
direction of something even if you
don't get the thing it's not about the
thing it's not about making the
basketball team it's not about
making million dollars and it's not
about the lightbulb it's about what
you learned along the way who
you become along the way and
you're on the journey guess what
the journeys hard the journey is
really with failure and that's why
most people don't do it most people
are willing to get on that journey
because they're afraid to fail you
my friend have failed
congratulations it's a greatest thing
that ever happened to you because
it shows that you're alive it shows
that you did something and it
shows that you're growing stronger
that gonna fail again boy I hope
you guys are watch these videos I'll
be home fail a thousand times keep
going in out there and failing you
know what that means every time
you fail it means to me it tells me
that you're doing something see a
lot of people because they don't
want to make any mistakes it takes
us to the next level a lot of people
don't want to fail fear failure fear
of success and guess what else fear
the unknown you know where's the
church instead of our current path
he said courage is the ability to go
from failure to failure without
losing enthusiastically giuse lee
hold on to your dream and not lose
enthusiasm a guy in Los Angeles
all over the front page of the
newspaper he just passed the bar
after taking it 48 times he had more
than enough reason and excuses
not to take it his son has a law firm
he could have been a legal assistant
a clerk and people all of a sudden
used to laugh at this guy he was a
laughingstock people will do that
too you know people talk about
John Kennedy jr. failing the bar did
you read in the newspaper that he
passed I didn't see that but did they
make a bigger deal about him
passing as they did when he failed
no you know why people like to
see you they like to see that it's
people like that I don't know why
like that I was on the expressway
traffic was jammed up you know
what was happening it was an
accident but people pull over to the
side to get out of there Carter going
to see somebody else's suffering
that's why talk shows are so
popular so people like to hear other
people's misery get it caught up in
there let me go magnified in the
old life because that's all they focus
on who decided it doesn't matter
how many times I feel I'm going to
courageously pursue it I don't care
what people say I don't care what
they think this is something that I
want that gives my life meaning
and value if you constantly remind
yourself after every defeat after
every setback every time you get
knocked down I've got a saying if
life knocks you down try and land
on your back because if you can
look up you can get up see a lot of
people because of failure they stop
they stop believing let me share
something with you you will fail
your way to success yes eight out
of ten millionaires have been
financially bankrupt you will fail
your way to success it doesn't
matter how many times you fail it
doesn't matter how many times
people tell you that you can't do it
it doesn't matter if you don't have a
dime in that bake you will fail your
way to success [Music] there's
something about the way we
perceive success that results in one
of the greatest tragedies of our time
and that's the belief that successful
people the ones at the top of their
game that talent is what punched
their ticket that destiny brought
them to the finish line and that's
wrong it's wrong because it takes
the journey to struggle the
scratching and clawing that it took
to get to the top of the mountain
and throws it out the window it
completely mitigates what's most
important in the real world the one
we are living in it doesn't matter
who you are you are never entitled
to a result b3 he's the product of
the fight [Music] the biggest favor
you can ever do for yourself as you
progress through life's up and
down through the good in the bad
when things get rough is know that
you are going through an every
successful person every champion
every innovate has gone through in
the history of mankind ruggle is
beautiful just fine that you were in
the midst of what separates great
from average it's a necessary step
and it's the most important step you
will ever take because 99% of
people can't see past it right the
world sees struggle sees hardship
as the time to pack it up to walk
away to be intimidated but the best
I'm telling you they look at
struggle differently just like you
can't get fit without blood sweat
and tears at the gym you can't
make deals without the hustle you
can't make things happen if you
don't move forward in the face of
adversity when the work no is
staring you in the eyes it's all part
of the process winners water you
want something bad enough you
know that being uncomfortable is
if you want to be the best your
mindset has to a the best right let
others focus on if of the iceberg
you know excellence lies
underneath the surface in what
cannot be seen so take mediocrity
and make it excellent cake with
floors and hold it because what
hurts now in the present is the very
same thing that works your life
down the road [Music].
