Eric you’ll always be an MLM scammer this bottom barrel advice shows your level of peanut thinking. I work with founders who understand high quality work comes from good sleep hygiene. I would never invest in an insomniac / constantly exhausted entrepreneur. This worked for a hot minute with your Vemma scam. POS.
I’m a truck driver anytime when I feel like giving up working across Interstate and I remember my daughter I put this video and repeat after him. I always use this video as a motivation.
Hi Eric, I have been listening to your ‘secret to success’ since I was in university and now im at my 30. My goal was to graduate with good grades, go to USA, get a good job once I travel back to my country, buy a car with my own earnings… now at my 30, I achieved all my goals. All because of your speech. I never give up during my downs because I kept remember and repeat your speech in my head. So today I would like to thank you that you brought this speech to the world, to social media. And I thank myself that I found you and that I never give up. Now I will continue to chase for my future goals.
My boss just sent me this …. I may be his Giselle… but I won’t ever out run him 🤝💪🏻 damn. I’m going to show up everyday and give it all I got… one day… I WILL BE RUNNING MY OWN SHOW… till then. This man has my dedication!
Look at the audiences demeanor at the beginning. Looking down at their distraction. Then look at the end. Every one of them was touched by this man. They were not prepared. Neither was I.
I'm on week 2 of listening to this daily. Addressing feelings of worthlessness. An emotional start but I'm easing into realizing I have been worthy from day 1. Thank u for this!
16:00-16:15 This has become an extremely popular misconception of Millenials, but the bottom line is that this is Mostly untrue, and the Statistics Prove it (see below). Eric Thomas clearly doesn't see it that way though, becuase In another speech, for example, he confirmed this sentiment, arguing "This Generation wants more than any Generation has ever wanted, yet is willing to work less than any Generation has ever worked!". What Eric Thomas doesn't understand is that Millinnials actually have LESS than any American Generation has had in living Memory, the EXACT OPPOSITE of What Eric Thomas has been claiming over the course of several Years. Thomas Frank, the Author of "What's the Matter with Kansas", puts it Perfectly in his (other) book "Listen Liberal" : "people who are 25 Today are Doing WORSE than people of that Age ten Years ago, and MUCH WORSE than people who were 25 back in 1996" [see the "Wealth and Generations" article in the June/July 2015 Publication of "Washington Monthly", written by Philip Longman]. Millenials may possess technological advantages like "Cell Phone, Wi-Fi", but by pretty much Any other Metric, Millennials are Worse off than the Generation of Eric Thomas was. Wages are Lower, Opportunites are Fewer, inflation is Worse than it has been in Four Decades, a College Degree is Worth Less than it has ever been Worth. In Colorado alone, 1 in 8 Children go to Bed Hungry multiple Times every Single Week. But hey, at Least those Kids can Play on their Cell Phones while they are sucking on Ice Cubes to Numb the Pain of Hunger. Looks like a "Soft" Generation to me. Fuck you.
Think he was just referring to kids being kids wanting everything handed to them, which was true. Kids in any generation: middle - highschool are spoiled. That was his point. He wasn't trying to single out one generation being more spoiled than others. This is a motivational speech not a history lesson
Et is just that dude . i often be like W.W.E.D what would eric do and it puts me in that grind mode like lets get it. ive came along way following this guy he always delivers for me
14;55-15:12 This is one of the strongest arguments you have ever made, and I have always remembered it. I certainly don't agree with all of your philosophy, but you are right about this.
This is legendary and I really appreciate it You’ve motivated me to start and master another trade as a master electrician already and board now going to become a master plumber just getting that 1 more degree that 1 more level that 1 more separation ! Thank you Dr. Thomas !
I shared this video with a couple of my classes at the community college; it seemed that the students in my classes chose to feel offended instead of thankful. Honesty does not seem to work with many young people today; they only want empathy and nothing else.
Knowledge is nothing. Knowledge is the accumulation of information. Wisdom is the accumulation of experience by applied knowledge. You have to be the biggest skeptic. And go and search for the information yourself and then apply it to learn it. We learn best by failing.
I just got done working a 14 hour shift and pushing myself to still working out at 2 am even tho I want to sleep I think about those people I love I HAVE TO ET YOU JUST DONT UNDERSTAND
When you talk Eric you don’t even talk to the crowd you are really talking to your self to keep you in that state of mind I feel this in my soul I will I am I must be the number #1 MALE INFLUENCER IN THE WORLD FOR FITNESS 🦍💯
9:25-9:50 I have always liked this Story, and definetely agree with the essence behind the Story, but I always laugh when I hear it, because it isn't true. Emmitt Smith was notorious for skipping practices...there is No way he was back in the Gym the day after winning the Super Bowl. I do sometimes Wonder just how good Emmitt would have become if he had truly given it everything he had. We will Never know.
Had to come back to this one. Been a minute but this very video pushed me forward when I got caught in a hard spot in college. My son is now in the same spot and I knew IMMEDIATELY who to turn to and what to show him. Let's go fam, get it!!!
