0:00:03.680,0:00:06.610
"Someday" isn’t on the calendar...

0:00:06.860,0:00:08.380
That’s very important lesson for all of

0:00:08.380,0:00:09.740
us mortals here today.

0:00:10.254,0:00:12.924
We're all taught that life is tough,

0:00:13.855,0:00:15.205
life is a bitch

0:00:15.495,0:00:16.555
life is hard

0:00:17.999,0:00:18.959
but it's not

0:00:20.115,0:00:21.655
It’s pretty easy. Right?

0:00:21.683,0:00:23.333
It’s pretty easy to skate by

0:00:23.333,0:00:26.513
and go through life. Right?

0:00:27.729,0:00:28.599
We wake up everyday,

0:00:28.599,0:00:29.529
most of us in the world

0:00:29.529,0:00:30.589
with a roof over our heads

0:00:30.589,0:00:32.619
a big comfy bed under our butts,

0:00:33.334,0:00:34.494
fridge full of foods

0:00:34.737,0:00:36.267
never have to worry about

0:00:36.751,0:00:38.111
starvation or homelessness

0:00:38.143,0:00:39.283
We have friends and family

0:00:39.283,0:00:40.213
that will help us out when

0:00:40.213,0:00:41.003
those things come

0:00:41.003,0:00:41.613
Those were are the things

0:00:41.613,0:00:43.243
that made life dangerous 100 years ago

0:00:43.243,0:00:45.673
Now we complain that life isn’t convenient

0:00:46.635,0:00:47.525
This isn’t a statement

0:00:47.525,0:00:48.025
on modern society.

0:00:48.189,0:00:49.799
This is a statement about motivation

0:00:49.980,0:00:54.860
Life is easy. It is easy to skate by.

0:00:55.880,0:00:56.680
It doesn’t even sound that bad,

0:00:56.680,0:00:57.630
it’s called skating

0:00:58.339,0:00:58.999
Skating is fun!

0:01:00.319,0:01:02.019
Who doesn’t love skating? I love skating.

0:01:02.235,0:01:03.785
Who doesn’t love skating?

0:01:04.700,0:01:06.450
It is pretty easy to grow up,

0:01:06.450,0:01:07.540
put your dreams aside,

0:01:07.540,0:01:08.550
leave your passions behind,

0:01:09.278,0:01:11.568
take a job that you don’t even really

0:01:11.568,0:01:12.888
mind, raise some kids

0:01:12.888,0:01:13.828
that would most likely be inspired

0:01:13.828,0:01:14.898
to do the exact same thing.

0:01:14.898,0:01:16.428
Go from point A to point B

0:01:16.428,0:01:19.038
to point C until you end up at point Z.

0:01:19.065,0:01:20.015
When you’re passed away and

0:01:20.015,0:01:21.405
and there is a line of people waiting

0:01:21.405,0:01:22.535
to get up and tell everyone else

0:01:22.535,0:01:24.105
who knew you, what a good life you had.

0:01:25.642,0:01:26.422
Nothing bad about that.

0:01:26.422,0:01:28.262
Nothing wrong with that.

0:01:28.275,0:01:29.905
But nothing great about it.

0:01:29.934,0:01:32.374
Nothing inspiring about that.

0:01:32.921,0:01:36.851
The awful truth is, is that life is easy.

0:01:37.642,0:01:39.122
Living...

0:01:39.135,0:01:40.825
truly living, chasing a dream and

0:01:40.825,0:01:43.015
truly living is hard...

0:01:43.529,0:01:44.839
Living is a bitch...

0:01:45.775,0:01:46.525
Living is tough,

0:01:46.525,0:01:47.845
especially when you switch it

0:01:47.845,0:01:48.765
it you ask yourself

0:01:48.765,0:01:50.115
what am I dying to do?

0:01:51.230,0:01:53.100
What is it that puts that fire

0:01:53.100,0:01:54.083
in my heart?

0:01:54.083,0:01:55.066
Answering that question

0:01:55.066,0:01:56.050
isn’t the end, thought.

0:01:56.433,0:01:57.523
It’s really just the spark.

0:01:58.112,0:01:59.032
Because once you get that

0:01:59.032,0:01:59.892
fire burning you need to feed it.

0:02:01.686,0:02:03.276
You need to keep reminding yourself,

0:02:03.276,0:02:04.276
putting new coals in there,

0:02:04.276,0:02:05.416
remind yourself everyday about that goal.

0:02:05.416,0:02:07.746
Because we’ve all taken up

0:02:07.746,0:02:10.236
a hobby or a goal or a workout

0:02:10.236,0:02:11.836
that we stop for just a couple of days

0:02:11.836,0:02:12.946
and we never pick them up again.

0:02:13.694,0:02:14.774
You need to constantly remind yourself

0:02:14.774,0:02:16.554
that you are dying.

0:02:16.554,0:02:19.384
And that you are dying to do something,

0:02:19.384,0:02:21.274
because the minute you forget,

0:02:21.274,0:02:23.494
life creeps right back in.

0:02:23.494,0:02:26.474
And life is easy.

0:02:26.474,0:02:27.594
Living...

0:02:27.594,0:02:29.364
truly living, chasing a dream and

0:02:29.364,0:02:32.094
truly living is hard.

0:02:32.094,0:02:35.164
Living is a bitch...

0:03:23.556,0:03:25.796
Just Imagine if you will being

0:03:25.796,0:03:28.166
on your death bed,

0:03:28.166,0:03:29.866
and standing around your bed

0:03:29.866,0:03:33.076
the ghosts of the dreams,

0:03:33.076,0:03:34.146
the ideas,

0:03:34.146,0:03:36.206
the abilities,

0:03:36.206,0:03:37.086
the talents

0:03:37.086,0:03:38.176
given to you by life.

0:03:38.176,0:03:39.636
And you... for whatever reason

0:03:39.636,0:03:41.906
you never pursued those dream,

0:03:41.906,0:03:43.926
you never acted on those ideas,

0:03:43.926,0:03:45.346
you never used those gifts,

0:03:45.346,0:03:47.296
you never used those talents...

0:03:47.296,0:03:49.316
And there they are staring at you,

0:03:49.316,0:03:50.626
as you lying on your bed,

0:03:50.626,0:03:52.836
with large angry eyes saying

0:03:52.836,0:03:54.766
"We came to you!

0:03:54.766,0:03:56.836
Only you could have given us life!

0:03:56.836,0:04:01.796
And now we must die with you... forever...

0:04:01.796,0:04:04.596
And the question is...

0:04:04.596,0:04:06.536
If you die today...

0:04:06.536,0:04:08.866
what dreams,

0:04:08.866,0:04:11.056
what talents,

0:04:11.056,0:04:13.026
what abilities,

0:04:13.026,0:04:14.836
what gifts,

0:04:14.836,0:04:16.776
what ideas

0:04:16.776,0:04:19.406
would die with you?

0:04:21.190,0:04:22.990
The worst place in the planet

0:04:22.990,0:04:25.130
it's not in the forest,

0:04:25.130,0:04:26.320
it's not in South Africa

0:04:26.324,0:04:28.154
whether dining lions...

0:04:28.169,0:04:30.279
The worst place in the planet

0:04:30.279,0:04:32.579
is the cemetery,

0:04:32.579,0:04:34.849
there you see potential never realized,

0:04:34.849,0:04:36.759
there you'll find books never written,

0:04:36.759,0:04:39.869
there you'll find ideas never acted on.

0:04:39.869,0:04:40.699
And maybe that's why

0:04:40.699,0:04:41.749
Henry David Thoreau said

0:04:41.749,0:04:43.289
Oh God! To reach the point of death

0:04:43.289,0:04:46.529
only to realize you have never lived,

0:04:46.529,0:04:48.659
only to realize that you never scratched

0:04:48.659,0:04:52.049
the surface of your potential

0:04:52.049,0:04:52.829
Let me say it again

0:04:52.829,0:04:55.009
Live full...

0:04:55.009,0:04:59.119
Die empty...

0:05:46.149,0:05:47.632
I think that

0:05:47.632,0:05:50.295
the most important...

0:05:50.295,0:05:51.989
the most important thing about

0:05:51.989,0:05:55.649
running a company is to remember

0:05:55.649,0:05:59.079
all the time what a company is.

0:05:59.079,0:06:01.839
A company is simply a group of people.

0:06:01.839,0:06:05.129
And as a leader of people

0:06:05.129,0:06:07.609
you have to be a great listener,

0:06:07.609,0:06:09.949
you have to be a great motivator,

0:06:09.949,0:06:13.259
you have to be very good at praising

0:06:13.259,0:06:16.139
and looking for the best in people.

0:06:16.139,0:06:18.559
People are no different from flowers.

0:06:18.559,0:06:20.629
If you water flowers, they flourish.

0:06:20.629,0:06:23.719
If you praise people, they flourish.

0:06:23.719,0:06:28.939
That’s a critical attribute of a leader...
