GREATEST SPEECH EVER - Gary Vaynerchuk on Millennials and Procrastination | MOST INSPIRING!

I think so many people are keyboard
activists right everybody's good at

sending a tweet about how the world
should be and nobody's doing anything

about it and that just that is just very
much human nature we've gotten soft as a

culture yes you know I mean of course
we've gotten soft as a culture in the

u.s. because the US has had an
incredible two hundred year run right

like this is just what happens you know
so as a culture you know I can't speak

for you know people that live in the
Amazon River and I can't speak for you

know people that still live in Belarus
but the American culture is soft and

that's a great thing that means there's
been enormous amounts of prosperity but

let's not be naive
I mean people literally complain when

somebody gives them the wrong amount of
like extra cream in a Starbucks $6

coffee

you

my lack of interest in complaining is so
high and when I watch what people

complain about it breaks my heart
because they completely lack perspective

and i genuinely believe my happiness and
optimism comes from my perspective even

in political unrest times like right now
a lot of people very bent out of shape

but the reality is is that it just never
been better to be a human being it's

that's just the truth
that's just data that's that's reality

and yeah I mean it's just a very fun
time to be alive

and I think the way people look at the
world right now because it's such an

incredible time is actually the quickest
tell to who they are if you think it

sucks but it's bad
you have losing pessimistic DNA and if

you think it's awesome and phenomenal
you have optimistic winning DNA and I

believe that to be true and so that's
where we're at we're beating ourselves

up like everybody sucks that's something
right like we all have shortcomings and

we all have strengths and for me it's
like why don't we just audit that like

why don't we just look at it that way
and be like alright well I'm good at

this but I'm not gonna dad like and then
and then and then I only focus what I'm

good at right like I don't dwell that I
can't fix shit around the house I call

somebody to fix him like I'm not like
I'm not a man I don't give a fuck like

you know like like you know like I don't
I don't get it like we all like I also

think it's awesome that I'm so
emotionally stable and I'm the emotional

backbone of everybody is that what a
dude's supposed to do like like these

cliches these stereotypes they're so
silly I'm fully in love with myself but

I'm also fully in love with everybody
else too right it's not like like it

goes both ways like I tell people to buy
in to be that work for me it's cuz I buy

into them first like I don't need
anybody to gain trust with me I it's

they're like I believe that the human
race is so grossly underrated we are

good of course we have some bad there's
fucking 7 billion of us but like when

you look at our net score it's bonkers
shit like you know what you damage we

can be doing to each other on a hourly
basis and we don't like we're still here

like we won were the Alpha being and
we've figured out how to stay together

this is insane when you think about it
and yet everybody wants to dwell on like

somebody said something mean

if you want to be an anomaly you have to
act like one like people want all these

special things to happen but then
they're acting like everybody else and

that gets into this Saturdays on in your
20s like or or just like taking risks or

things of that nature like there's
anything they take away it's like look

like you're gonna only be so pretty
you're only gonna be so smart like you

like there's there's things that are
gonna be natural and there's things that

you can actually control I do believe
and I don't know if I'm right or wrong I

don't but I do believe that work ethic
is a taught behavior it's something you

do have more control over and you know
what really sealed a deal for me getting

healthier I was 38 years old and didn't
come natural to me like it didn't come

natural to me at all I hate the gym I
hate him out I hate it I don't like it I

don't want to do it but I but I knew it
was important and somewhere around

midway through being 38 years old I got
serious I figured out my system I made

the financial commitment and I've won
right and I'll never lose again because

the system was I needed to be
accountable to another human being so it

was about Mike and now Jordan and
whoever else is my trainer I'm doing it

almost weirdly more to not let them down
I feel like there's a shift that can

make people work harder the big one that
I push is you're gonna die like like if

your complaint like to me life is broken
down into complaining and not so if

you're not complaining well then I've
never I have no advice for you I'm

pumped like you did it like like I've
friends who make $42,000 a year work

9:00 to 4:00
with an hour to have lunch and 45

minutes of YouTube and ten minutes of
bullshitting and an hour of complete

waste of time in a meeting so the kind
of working like 6:00 you know hours a

week right
but they're pumped and-and-and they text

me these are highschool friends and
they'll text me like how happy they are

to be the coach of their kids baseball
team and you know like that's amazing

like that that seems very obvious to me
like that's like that's right you know

which is super weird I'm actually nearly
any yes you know like I it sounds cool

like in theory right grass is always
greener right like far less pressure you

know like like all that time with my
kids

booth that would be cool like there's
just like all these things that I can

justify so to me but I have friends who
have a hundred million dollars in the

bank because of Facebook's IPO who
complain who are still hungry who want

to do even more
who will complain to me because they

know I work a lot about no work-life
balance and they don't get to spend

enough time with their family and I'm
like you have a hundred million dollars

like you could stay home like you're in
control like you don't complain about it

you've made that choice don't bullshit
me

like you want to spend more time with
your family spend more time with your

family

I'm trying to be very careful about what
I'm saying versus what I'm doing because

that's how you get exposed and I don't
mean like people calling you out and

being like you suck I mean to yourself I
don't want to be exposed by myself it's

it's it's looking at yourself in the
mirror and saying like am I doing this

right so to me there's so many people
they're talking shit about how big of an

entrepreneur they're gonna be and how
much they're gonna achieve and they

don't work on weekends you know I worked
every Saturday of my 20s like and I talk

to 20 year old entrepreneurs every
single day lately I've been saying to

them this Saturday you're gonna have
more time off than I've had in my entire

20s on a Saturday so like before you
tell me how you're gonna be bigger than

me start thinking about what you're
actually doing

I'm careful to not give advice that I
know is uniquely something that I was

gifted with like I'd how do I tell you
that

oh here's how it actually works and it
almost started happening it didn't

happen like I actually get goosebumps
like actually like real heavy goosebumps

when I hear something that I know feels
right what's the advice there hey Johnny

start getting goosebumps like I can't
there's certain things that I can't talk

about because I know they're not
practical they're intuitive to me

I plan to instill kindness until Achatz
I plan on instilling perspective into my

kids I plan in instilling just being a
good human being

I plan on making sure they don't use
their parents wealth and micro fame and

leverage to impose them on any other
person I was petrified of that if my

kids try to Punk their friends on my
shit I'm gonna get the fuck out of them

like that just loser DNA you didn't do
that we right like so like I'm not

obsessed with tactics I'm obsessed with
religion so I have a lot of wealthy

friends at this point who think it's
smart for them to sit first class but

the kids in coach it's a tactic they
send their kids to Africa to build a

school for a week it's a tactic it's
like my friends that love the

environment the number two sector in the
world that is hurting the environment is

the fashion industry when you run the
math of what's doing bad to the earth

it's the number two industry behind Gaza
i I don't even want to say it cuz I'm

not sure if it's gas in oil the number
two industry the sign of the fact is the

fashion industry so all my fancy friends
who love the environment are they

willing to give up their fucking Louie
bags let's say right so like I think

people talk shit so you let them sit
coach and you went first class but you

went to you know Hawaii and eat it all
the best pluck you can't pick and choose

to me it's binary so I don't wanna be a
hypocrite so my big thing is like look

you need to be kind like mean mean is
just non-negotiable in our family right

and then you just need to not be full of
shit if you want to look at daddy's

mountain and you want to say what I did
to my dad's and that was a big mountain

for an immigrant like wow dad did it
right if you want to say I'm gonna climb

that and I'm gonna climb bigger awesome
like I'm pumped I'm weirdly not cheering

for you cuz I'm I'm just a weirdly
competitive dude this is actually

something I'm not proud of I'm
comfortable saying this and I believe

this is a flaw but I don't want my kids
to beat me I don't like I don't I

saying it I know this is where I get in
trouble people will take one little clip

from one video interview and they're
like you're a bad eye it's just my truth

I don't want to bullshit you guys like
I'm that competitive

I just want them to be all in on them
right like I don't need them to be an

entrepreneur I don't need them to make
me proud they don't need to go to

Harvard they don't need to give shit
they need to be themselves all in and

they need to be kind and I'm good

like everybody thinks their stuff is so
good like everyday Gary my instagrams so

on fire soda awesome
why is nobody like why am I not gaining

followers cuz it's not awesome

think we all think our stuff is the best
and like I get that but yeah that would

be my advice only because that also is
liberating me everything's about

breathing right like to me everything is
about like take full ownership for

everything and then everything gets easy
cuz then you're in control and then

learn how to love to lose I think that's
how that's how entrepreneurship that's

how life is we all have losses and so I
like losses I love adversity

I like the climb I like the chip on my
shoulder I like when people like all I

knew and he's not that good that is like
like I'm even weirdly scared as I

continue to ascend and I'm getting
popular and wouldn't you say the

marketing leaning like if people start
putting these words in front of my name

I'm like am I gonna sabotage myself to
like recorrect this like I like

adversity so yeah all on me you know I
enjoy losses now all of a sudden like

what you become completely invincible I
feel invincible I really genuinely

outside of the health of myself and 20
people feel 100% invincible as a person

I know what my intent is I want to do
good at nobody else's expense I'm far

from perfect we all are
and so just easy it feels very light to

live life I'm just in a good mood

them home and I think modern-day parents
and most parents do not do that

I think they focus on dumb shit like
grades because they are insecure and

they want to put the bumper sticker that
their kid went to you know Stanford like

it's real fucked up when you really
think about what's actually happening so

much of it is misery loves company or
people reflecting of what's inside of

them

is the impact that you want to have on
the world same thing that attracts so

many of millions of people to people
that are selling bullshit those same

people are attracted to me and what I
want to do is suffocate out all those

other people and become the Alpha of
that entire world of people that are are

hoping and are desperate to look at me
and what I want to do is inspire two 14

year old girls in Kansas City right now
to build a billion dollar company on

having a bunch of employees hugging each
other in a house I think that Steve Jobs

came along became an icon but the sad
part of that narrative was he did not

treat his employees well he became an
icon and the narrative became and he got

the most out of people by being a jerk
and that became romanticized and a lot

of people in Silicon Valley today run
companies worth their mean because they

think that's the right thing to do
because they put Steve Jobs on a

pedestal
I want my pedestal moment I want to

become that big and what I want to come
from that is that kids that aren't even

born
think that they can build a five billion

dollar company and be a great guy or
great gal I want to build the biggest

building in town ever by just building
the biggest building in town while I

think most people try to tear down
everybody else's building so I think

positivity and good is practical advice
to building an empire and I want to be

the poster child of the person that
don't biggest baddest empire and did it

by being a good dude along the way and
not everybody's gonna be happy about

everything I did but if it's 97% of
people talking good behind your back

that's a real legacy and I want to do it
in a pop culture way I'm gonna do it

anyway people have done that before just
so you know there's plenty of people

Warren Buffett's a really good dude like
there's plenty of people that have done

that there's a difference I want to do
it and I want to be a rock star right

like and that's where you influence
people like you know like I want to do

it but I also want to be the most
popular and so then that person's like

oh I want to be him so I guess I'll be
nice like I want to literally take

people who have DNA that's kind of nice
and make them more nice because they

think that's how I became big so I
basically want to trick the business

world into becoming kinder
