What i want to do for you right now i want you to think about your dream cause i'm in a room full of dreamers think about your dream right now and what you think about it and imagine it now Ladies and gentlemen let me share something with you I ca n't believe any of us have dreams that were not given to us on purpose to fulfill those special dreams and I want to share with you something that has changed my life As pointed out by Jack, it's a very humble beginning I don't know what the dream is that you have I don't care how far it can be taken I don't care how much may be frustrating as you are working towards that dream but here is what i know that dream you are holding in your mind that it is possible let us say together please see it is possible Sometimes we can't say that I can do it but we can say that it is possible that I can live my dream as we run towards it Because we work on it day in and day out, no lady and gentleman could have reassured me when I started working on my dream six years ago and I want you to think about your dream Because I was willing to take a chance and most people wouldn't. That you talk to try and get them into business. These are n't risk-takers.

 

They raise a family and then they die. But those people who are running towards their dreams life has a special kind of meaning and here I will share with you that in the process of working on your dreams you will have lot of disappointment , lot of failure, lot of pain, lot of defeat but In the process of doing this you will discover some things about yourself that you just don't know what you will realize is that there is greatness within you that you will realize that you are more powerful than ever to imagine what you are will feel that you are bigger than your circumstances that you don't have to go through life being a victim as jack indicated i was born in miami Florida With my twin brother on a hard linoleum floor in an abandoned building in an area called Liberty City, we were six weeks old, when we were in fifth grade, I was identified as EMR labeled psychic was originally placed back from fifth grade to fourth grade. And stayed in that category until I dropped out of high school, I have no college training, but I met a high school teacher who changed my life one day, I was waiting for another student. and when he came he told me young man go to the board and write what i am going to tell you and i said i can't do that sir he said why not i said i am not one of your students he Said it doesn't matter follow my instructions now i say i can't do that sir he said why i said no because i am mentally educated and he came from behind his desk and he looked at me he said never don't say no need to be someone's opinion again your reality that enabled me to start dreaming as dexter is doing for you and women and g guys i started working on my dream and most people don't work on my dreams why for many years i haven't had one what happens because of the fear of failure if things don't work out and fear of success what if they do and i can't handle it the other thing is most people ladies and gentlemen they get comfortable they stop growing they stop pushing themselves and they become very cynical about life and they throw weighing themselves on their families and their dreams and the other thing is Most people don't deserve what I do now that I could do years ago, but because I didn't have a college education I did not believe in myself because I used to control my own destiny for other people. opinion is allowed, I haven't acted on my thoughts so I appreciate your dreams for running towards your dreams, I appreciate you for believing in yourself because that's what life is all about dragging on And c acting on my dream can result in you starting to better yourself and ladies and gentlemen And I don't know what that dream means to you, I can tell you that it is possible that no one can be sure.

Be creative you understand the importance of changing it So you get frustrated and think the idea doesn't work, it's not true it's necessary that we be creative I remember when I was walking down the street in New York and a guy came up to me and said hey mister can i shine your shoes and i said no i'm in a hurry i don't have time i walked by someone else oh man my shiny shoes your shoes look cloudy i said no i don't have time i'm sorry i am busy i was going fast and many people begged me for my business and then finally the young man stepped in front of me and he forgave me did it and he started counting 97 98 99 100 he said sir i said yes he said come here please i said what it is he says today is my birthday and every year thank god for one more year of life To the 100th person who walks by my shoeshine stand I offer them a free shoe shine will you give me the respect I said why sure I woke up on the shoeshine stan george and I sat there and he shoved my shoes flashed from and when i got down i saw him they were glowing and i was walking away and i said thank you and i stopped i said sorry but how much do you usually charge he said only two dollars i gave you Told what is your birthday today Keep five changes here he said thank you because I was looking in the opposite direction of other people coming he started counting again 97 98 daddy 100.
