Stop excusing your weaknesses as "just the way you are".

[whocares]

Would you stop feeling sorry for yourself? Having the guts to go after what you want in life, you must take that initial risk of falling flat on your face. If you don't take that risk, you will never maximize your potential. Stop being so soft and be more ambitious, resistant--never let anyone tell you "no". The best athlete, the best doctor, best lawyer in the world who exists today... why can't it be you?

You can say, "Ehh... it's not gonna be easy, so I'm not even going to try."

Or, you can say "Let me put in as much effort, today, tomorrow, day after night, every day and I'd find out myself." Until you try, you will always be wondering what could have happened. Never underestimate what you are capable of, because it's all about hard work, and everyone has the ability to work hard.



Your shortcomings based on genetics or situations, it all can be made up for, with hard work and strengthening your weaknesses. The most successful people in this world, overestimate where they're going to end up, and it works out to their advantage. People who are successful didn't know how they were going to succeed, they just knew they were. People in this world just treat winners differently, that's just the way it is.

So what would you do if you knew you could not fail? The word "risk" would become meaningless, and it would just be reward. So what is holding you back? If you are ambitious about it, and you enjoy working at it everyday, putting in the time to be the best... how can anyone be better?

It kind of funny because this guy just got caught using lots of roids lol. But the message behind the video is still very true.

What about AIDS ridden, African babies? Are they supposed to just suck it up and soldier on like it's not even a problem?

Lol gambling addict? Nowadays I don't even play that much anymore (less than 4 sessions a week, at most). I don't consider poker a real job, I consider it a hobby, and poker is not going to be the biggest achievement of my life. I'm a winning player, so maybe that makes me addicted to the competition, and money is just a way to keep score in this competition. So what does that make Kobe Bryant? Addicted to championship rings? Come on now.

It's only a gambling addiction if you're losing.

Damn dude you must have never met somebody with any sort of mental/emotional disorder whatsoever.

Sometimes I feel like I set myself up for defeat. Like I'd rather be second best, and deal with half as much bullshit. Cause all of us are capable of achieving a great deal, we just don't get off our asses.

Once I get off my ass I realize how much I can do, but then its eh fuck it. I guess I don't let myself be the winner that I am.

[Pee Vee Proots, M.D.]

I don't consider my inability to integrate with society a weakness, I consider it a strength. I wouldn't want to "fix" it. It's just a strength that makes life a bit harder.

For instance all these kids in college try really hard. You know, I NEED THIS INTERNSHIP, I need to network ect ect.

I'd rather just coast through. Chill low stress. At the end of the day they are doing 2-3 times as much work to make maybe 25% more money.

Not knocking hard work/ambition or anything - but, that is true. Hell, I know of some kids who did just that and ended up just as well off as those who struggled and poured their heart and time into their work.
