♪

Stop being this high school drop out

Stop quiting stop sleeping on the streets

Stop walking on the streets up and down...

And get your GED

Don't be afraid to take a test .

Stop being afraid to go to college

Because your parents didn't study

♪

I don't do well in math

You're right, you ve never studied

"i m not good in writing ..."

That's right, because you ve never written before

You can't get
through a writing class,

and you've got tutor after tutor,
resource after resource.

The problem is, you ain't never
felt no pain before; you're soft!

It's a soft generation.
You quit on everything!

You have to give it
everything you got.

No more TV, no more partying,
no more playing.

If you don't have a 4.0,
what you need to be doing is studying.

You a sophomore; you like me;
"I'm just a sophomore."

Or "I'm just a freshman,"
like, "I got time, you know,

to put it in another year."
But you don't realize this--

that the opportunity that you need
is in your sophomore year;

it's not in your
senior year.

Listen to me--
you running out of time!

♪

The next time you give
a low effort, right,

you give a 70%
or a 50% or a 30%,

I want you to think about
what you're thinking about

when your effort
is low,

and you're probably thinking
"I got to" versus "I get to."

Listen to me!
If your effort is low,

you're probably not thinking
about the opportunity;

you're probably thinking
about the obligation.

♪

Because success
is allergic to average!

Are you hearing
what I'm telling you?

Success and average don't have
nothing to do with each other,

so you can't say
you wanna be successful;

you can't say
there are certain dreams and goals,

and things you want to have,
and things you want to be,

if you are still average!

You've got to get to the point
where you get allergic to average;

you don't think average;
you don't perform average.

Success and average have absolutely
nothing to do together.

This is what
I'm telling you.

Your teacher
can't stand average!

Nobody really
likes average.

And a problem
with a lot of you

is you not allergic
to average, alright?

You gotta do me a huge favor, man--
you lying to yourself.

On one point you said
you wanna be great;

you wanna
do great things;

you want to
have greatness;

you want to
be great!

Listen to me--
but on the other hand, for real!

For real, you comfortable
with average!

You cannot be average any longer--
why?

Because average
attracts average.

I am telling you
to be great,

because when you are great,
you attract great.

When you are average,
you attract average.

So I need you to do me a favor--
I need you to get off average, right?

I need you to get off average!

You ain't got to rely on nobody
to get off average but you.

I don't care what nobody else
in your family is doing.

I don't care what
your teacher is doing.

I don't care what's going on
in your school,

what kind of school you have,
what kind of job you have.

Just because the people
are average around you

don't mean
you gotta be average.

♪

You either here
or you there.

There's no middle ground.

And so what I am telling you is
that you can't count the cost.

When you want something bad,
you can't count the cost,

because if you count the cost,
and you see how much it cost,

you might quit;
you might give up.

So you've got to go in knowing that
I don't count the cost.

I do as many push-ups as it takes;
as many sit-ups as it takes;

as many reps as it takes;
I study as long as it takes.

I pay whatever the price is--
why?

Because if I start
counting the cost,

I might quit;
I might give up;

I might surrender.

Don't count the cost!

You don't count the cost
on this one.

♪

You don't count the cost
on this one.

You don't count the cost
on this one.

You-- you just do what you've got to do
on this one,

and then you look back
when it's all over

and you see the reward.

You look back
and you see the accomplish.

You don't count it.

You just look back
and you see that you succeeded.

♪

Everybody got a dream.
Everybody got a goal.

What's the gap?

If everybody got one,

if everybody wake up
in the beginning of the year

saying this is
their year,

then why is it some people year
and not other people year?

You know why?
I've said it before.

It don't got nothing to do with
your dreams and goals.

Everybody got a dream.
Everybody got a goal.

The question is, when you
wake up in the morning,

what effort are you
putting forth?

Everybody with a dream and a goal
ain't giving 120.

And some people might be
giving it on Monday,

but they ain't giving it
on Tuesday.

And some people giving it
a hundred and-- listen to me--

120, seven days a week,
365 days.

I want you to work on
your mind.

For real, education is the most
important thing in your life.

I didn't say degrees.

I'm not just talking about going
to school and getting a degree.

I'm talking about
getting knowledge.

Knowledge is power!

Information changes situation.
