What a small world. Yeah, it's just...
It's a small world after all. As a matter of fact, I recorded When You Wish Upon a Star for my solo record because of how Emotionally, Jiminy Cricket affected my life. I thought when that little insect in the movie goes, Gene, when you wish upon. I thought he was singing to me. I was 12. Wow. I went out there like in a religious epiphany.
I can do great things because Jiminy, your dreams come true. i can do it and that's why i like if you're not a bad guy that's why i like guys like you because sometimes some someplace in wisconsin there's somebody who can who's who possibly might do great things and the only thing holding himself back is himself and if you can just light that little fire in the belly that you know that
That puts the light on. They'll do amazing things.
No.
I couldn't afford it.
But I'm delusional. I'm aware of it. I know that I'm not the best looking guy in the world or the smartest or anything, but I will walk into any room and I will walk out with your girlfriend.
there's no doubt in my mind and part and parcel of that has to do with a mindset that's really important that i was only able to recognize many years later you're a type of tightrope walker and various ideas and ideals can come into your mind before you walk that tightrope you might say A lot of people have tried to walk this tightrope.
There's a decent chance that, like, oh, and you're hearing and thinking what you're saying. So all the negativity is contributing to the chances of you failing. And what do all great champions do? They psych themselves up. I'm going to get out there and I'm going to do this. And who's listening? You're listening. I'm going to win it. I am the champion. I am the greatest.
I heard Muhammad Ali doing that. Cassius Clay at that point. I still think it's a cooler name. I never heard a human being talk like that publicly. I am the greatest. I'll sting like a butterfly. Like, who is this guy? Actually, he was stating fact. It's our problem that we thought, well, you're not supposed to say that. Why not?
Why not set greatness in front of you and then work towards achieving it? Yeah, that's true. So I've spent time with Mike Tyson, and I hope he considers me a friend. I consider him a friend. And when you listen to Mike's story, there's no logical reason in the world why he would become the most dangerous man who's ever been in the ring. Yes, I know four men and everybody else. He's too short.
His arms aren't long. He hates it when people do that thing. All the negatives you can imagine, except his unwavering belief in himself and the will to win. The will. Doctors still talk about people who are in a deathbed, and they can't explain why a week later they walk up and walk out the hospital, live another 10 years, except for the will to win. to win.
And there are other people who drop dead when they just give up.
No. The plane doors open. Go. What do you got to lose? In America, you cannot fail. You can't fail. If you lose all your money, you declare Chapter 7 or Chapter 11, and you can start all over again. And when that first chick said, would you like to go out with me? She says, no. Too many fish in the sea. There's tall, one's short, one's fat, one's thick, two. Just keep swaying that bat.
You'll hit it. No means nothing.
Well, what choice have you got?
Well, it's safer. People are lemmings because it's safer in numbers. You don't want to be that one person who says, but that's what leaders are. The leaders are the ones. Most people have a problem getting up on stage and speaking their mind because you will be judged. People don't like to be judged. Get over it. It doesn't matter. Not everybody likes Jesus either.
Well, they're not qualified to have an opinion on yours truly. I'm qualified. I know where I've been, what I'm doing, what my dreams are, what I'm willing to work at. Anybody's other opinion is an opinion at first glance.
you don't it sounds like but why do you think so many of the world precisely i could give a right but why do so many people care about it's safer it's safer to be in a group and you know when it's time to put frankenstein on fire when the guy didn't do anything you know there's a mob you know mob mentality you don't even have to say anything you can just let the mob carry you
It's tough to be, but those are the leaders of the world. And they don't have to be the most qualified, by the way. Some of the people I see on television using Christ's, you know, they talk, there are hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. Some of them are not very bright people, but they have this presence
