No, ask for help.

Not because you're weak, but because you want to remain strong.

And ask for help and don't stop until you get it.

I'm here because a lot of people helped me.

I'm here because a lot of people believed in me at a time when I was struggling to believe in myself.

The other thing is, let us say together, it's worth it.

Yeah, see, I think, and write this down, you got to find five reasons that will make it worth it for you.

Five reasons.

What will make it worth it for you?

Mine was, I want to take care of my mother.

Mine was, I want to do something with my life.

What will make it worth it for you?

Mine is, I want to leave a legacy.

Was to believe that I can do what I'm now doing.

No one could have convinced me, just given my circumstances, I earn millions of dollars every year.

No one could have convinced me, if both my parents came up here right now, I would not know either one.

No one could have convinced me, being labeled, educable, mentally retarded, born in an abandoned building of Florida in Liberty City, poor section of Miami, Florida, failing twice in school, no college training, never worked for a major corporation, I did not know.

I can do what I'm doing right now.

Never forget Mike Williams, my mentor.

I think a lot of people fail in life because of the fact that they need some mentoring.
