Bruh are you trying to sample it or some?
10 years I’ve been listening to this… and 10 years later at 40 years old it still does the job. Preach!
can't wait to say this in 10 years :)
those student didn't know what speech they witnessed
they witnessed a legend in the making
More like young
Tygo A they do now.
No body did till that speech
Tygo RIGHT THATS CRAZY
The video that motivated me to take up the entrance exam for the third time and finally got into a medical college, to live my dream to become a doctor
That's wonderful.
Good Luck to You.
Santo M S Of course you did, it's in your DNA to do so
+Santo M S Hey, Congratulations buddy! Good Luck!
+Santo M S Proud of you! Do your best Bro!
+Santo M S same here man. At medical college now to become a doctor. all started years ago as a freshman in college while listening to Dr. Eric Thomas, and him motivating me to get past all the chemistry and biology classes.
"dont cry to give up, cry to keep going" best line.
He then went on to get his PhD 7 years after this was uplpaded.
Talking the talk AND walking the walk. This is motivating.
THIS VIDEO IS THE REASON WHY I MOVED FROM BOTSWANA TO AMERICA! WATCHED IT EVERYDAY, READ EVERY WORD ON EVERY WEBSITE THAT COULD TAKE ME TO AMERICA, AND FOUND THE ANSWER. I WANTED IT BAAAAAD AND I GOT IT IN LESS THAN A YEAR. NOW THAT'S HOW I LIVE MY LIFE! ALL THE WAY.
Watched this in 2016, today l came back to testify that pain is temporary.
Will soon be graduating as one of the best students in my class.
Thank you ET.
Congratulations 🥳
i already know everything he says throughout the entire speech and still watch it many times a week. i honestly could never get tired of watching this video, this man spits fire every time he opens his mouth.
I watch this daily, this is the best speech in history.
guys I work for a company for 8 hours everyday then come home to work on my own side project. Now my portfolio is on the way to get me a even better job with higher pay. Listen to this guy.
Did you get it?
it's been 10 years since i first discovered this video and it still hits hard. Thank you ET! KEEP GRINDING TGIM
Currently am broke. I have tried more than 8 business. They all failed. But i believe failure is part of the journey to become succesful. And the only way to learn is to fail enought. Today Fri,22,01,2021. My goal is end financial stress before the end of 2021
I can watch this 1000 times. I love this video!
Years ago I watched this video. I was in college studying all night. I was tired was going to give up and time after time i kept pushing, college, then the first job, then a better one, then I became a manger, then a director. ET thank you because you taught me that my passion and willing to work would pay off. People thought I was crazy my schedule, my 1AM workout, and and my all nighters working. I’m 30 in a beautiful house, with my dog, and beautiful wife. I remember like it was yesterday, ready to give up 100 bucks to my name. I remember watching this video and deciding I’m gunna be very successful I’m gunna fight for this hard so hard with every ounce of energy i have. That means sacrificing everything in the pursuit of winning. It was tough. It still is tough. Still hustling. Thanks. 🙏🏽
Ive seen this speech so many times that.....I know the WHOLE SPEECH by heart... Great video ET!
Filip Nilsson Yo me too man, it has gotten to the point where just hearing Et's voice reminds me to keep my focus and grind.
David Schaaf Nice David, make the rest of your life...the best of your life! :)
Filip Nilsson ET phone home, ET dont got time for phone calls, hes trying to be successful
Through this corona virus I am still committed to my goals and fitness. ET is my spirit animal. Hope everyone is crushing their goals today.
Thank you Eric Thomas! You helped me through my Bachelor & Master... You are the reason I was able to stay awake and study until 5 am.
Greetings from Germany
5:07 gets me every time. This is so deep.
This guy changes the lives of more than 1 miliion people in the world ... Thanks for this :)
Best speech I've ever seen to this day
Powerful Message: The most important thing is this, at any moment you have to be able to sacrifice what you are for what you will become.
It kept me going while I was doing my Cambridge A Levels. I was failing nearly every subject(literally), but it kept me going everyday. It made me stronger and whenever I feel tired, I listen to this speech everyday more then 3 times a day to make me keep going and not to give up. Truely inspirational. Thank you Eric Thomas.
I got finals and I'm studying and watching this at the same time. Last time I did this for Midterms got straight A's
I remember when I first discovered this last year. 2 weeks ago i got my gcse results and i got 9 A*s and i was predicted 9 Bs at the start of my gcses. thank you E.T. Pain is temporary. Greetings from the UK.
Where are you now?
I have to meet this guy, for real. I don't know how, but I have to.
Me too man me too..
You will. Go to one of his events. Check his website.
Me too. He inspires me so much.
You met him yet brother?
Have you met him yet?
thx i am humbled
Had to watch this again! "WHEN YOU WANT TO SUCCEED AS MUCH AS YOU WANT TO BREATHE THEN YOU WILL BE SUCCESFUL!!!"
This is the soundtrack of my life.
I listened to this on the east coast lost in Massachusetts in 2016.. no direction at all.
I listened to it as I drove across country in 2017.
I listed to it working the wilds of Yellowstone national park in 2018
2019 I Drove north through Alberta, British Columbia, and Yukon and throughout the alcan to Alaska
2022 I listen to it as a father of two, buisness owner, and authentic human being.
#1 You gotta have heart.
I promise you the sacrifice of self commitment.. it delivered.
I have just started making motivational videos and ET is going to be in my next one :)
wow how many subs were you at the time when you wrote this comment ?
Now you at 500k subs
I watch ur videos regularly
Much love elon
I'm so happy to see this rn, I love your videos !!!!
Look at you now living the best life proof of not giving up
I listened to this speech when I was doing my entrance exams for medical school. Thanks to ET I got into the best university in the world and I am now working as a doctor. I still listen to this speech because it motivates me to want to be better.
1 MILLION VIEWS AND COUNTING!
I remember when it was 50,000.
ET, thank you for doing what you do.
Love him or hate him, he's spitting straight fax here
this is iconic omg
this speech is so damn powerfull
I’m not exaggerating when I say that this video changed my life….
Before this I was a kid that failed his senior year of high school and had to go back and probably shouldn’t have passed that year either. I had no purpose and blamed everyone else for my problems. All it took was my first time listening to this and it motivated me to work for everything I could.
I’m a college graduate with a degree from SDSU and ASU and have an amazing family and life because I decided I wanted to succeed.
Thank you ET.
Best motivational speech I've ever heard....amazing job ET....
One of the OG's of CZcams motivational speakers- I remember this like I first heard it back in 2010
I discovered this speech about ten years ago and I still listen to it today.
It applies ALWAYS.
Hi Eric, I have been listening to your ‘secret to success’ since I was in university and now im at my 30. My goal was to graduate with good grades, go to USA, get a good job once I travel back to my country, buy a car with my own earnings… now at my 30, I achieved all my goals. All because of your speech. I never give up during my downs because I kept remember and repeat your speech in my head. So today I would like to thank you that you brought this speech to the world, to social media. And I thank myself that I found you and that I never give up. Now I will continue to chase for my future goals.
The greatest life motivational speech I've ever heard..When I saw it 8 years ago it changed my life..I truly started from absolutely nothing and im close to 6 figures a year now..From the bottom of my heart..Thanks for this
My motivation today, I have a class in 10 minutes and I will be successful! Nothing but respect to this positive individual!
This is the video that started it all for me 5 years ago. Since watching this video I have become an educator and youth speaker. This video changed my life. Thank you!
I’m currently reading the You Owe You book and it is so life changing. I am so glad I discovered you at one of my lowest points of my life.
I’m back in February 2024, this speech helped my quit 9-5 to full time business owner. God Bless you ET! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you!!!
8 years later, still one of my favorite motivational videos!
This is what I’m listening to everyday when distractions try to knock me from accomplishing my dream! 🙌🏾🙏🏾💯💪🏾💪🏾
Man said it for a reason, thousands of us repeated it for thousands of our own reasons. Its one of the most powerful clips ever, been revisiting it for god knows how long and I still find new angles every time
To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are to become who we'll be.... thats heavy brother
Your words came to me at the exact time that I needed to hear them. God bless you E.T., I have to grind now and accomplish my dreams!
This dude changed my life. Thank you ET
This is still so impactful. 9 years later, this message still worth its weight in gold.
i watched with video 2 years back. The idea of "To be successful as bad as you want to breath" inspired me a lot !!!.Motivated me to come out of my comfort zone and push myself to new heights...
I credit this video for getting me through my nursing degree. Thanks ET! Much love from New Zealand!
Hey ET, can you please add closed captions to this video? You know, for us hard of hearing and deaf people. Thanks, man!
I'm here 14 years later amd this has the same affect!!❤️ Beast mode
I remember when I first saw this like 10 years ago, hit me hard man. Big up ET
don't cry to give up cry to keep going🤗🤗🤗
This is still as motivational, now, since I first watched it two years ago.
After 5 years, this is STILL my favorite speech ever!
I get up at 4am everyday because of this video I found you 8 months ago and I have watched all of your videos and now I am a better person because of this
THE best speech I've ever heard.
I've never looked at it like this. This is powerful.
Came across this video by accident back in 2008 and have come back to it a few times over the years. This literally changed my life. I've achieved major success in that time and I'm just getting started. Thank you Eric. I'm so grateful.

I've watched most your vids. This is the best motivational speech for me.
I keep coming back to this video, even though I've watched more than a dozen times, and it still gives me chills.
Who’s still watching this crazy motivational speech in 2019 about to be 2020
"Stop dropping classes... Like you soft" @8:40
Nedje Severe guilty. it hurts every night
i really need this motivational, realistic speech. wish he could come to my school and say this instead of us learning something we never gonna even use in life anymore.
The amount of wisdom and motivation this speech empowered me with 7 years ago, man.
I gotta stop watching this video.. its wasting my time in being successful
+Sushi Prince Top comment lol

+SpitnGames
I've been studying success and found a fantastic website at Magic Progress Shortcut (check it out on google)
139 people drowned in failure
I went from failing out of college, getting back in and then attending a top 10 pharmacy school in the nation with a low acceptance rate. You motivated me with this video. I know it word for word. You changed my life!
I decided to journey back to your first video to put in perspective your recent videos. What has blessed me the most is that consistent energy transferred from then until now. Thank you for being selfless with your gift ❤️
showed this to donald trump and he became donald trump
+Simone Simmons bruh
simonesquared nice one lol
How bad do you want to be successful ?
A true story. About 6 years I was homeless and $20,000 in credit cards and student loan debt. I was party and drinking beyond my limits and I ended up losing everything. When I was at the shelter I was searching for motivational videos and I found this. Till this day this a has my Foundation of everything I believe in and it ultimately change my life. Today I am part of union making great money, have a beautiful family and a home owner. I wish had the chance thank him for changing my life. I love guy and I will forever follow he's widsom.
what you need in life is passion + persistence+ hard work + and doing the thing without expecting a reward
SOB shortness of breath lol
I can't believe my teacher made our class watch this video and write an essay on it... UGH.
Bitch! Yo teacher was doing you some good! I wish my teacher would make me write an essay about this.
Consider yourself lucky.
I wish I could go back to being 16 with this video.
P Evans It's never too late man.
The amount of time it takes to achieve something is never mentioned on a report card, degree, or diploma. You did it, that's all that matters!.
I'm 18 and this was the first motivational video I saw when I was 12 and I have never seen life the same, go all in, thank you!!
I loove this speech, it never fails to inspire me.
Who is still here in 2021
Watching in 2024.
I listen this almost everyday for years ago. This is so powerful. Thanks Eric!
these words never left me
So, if you wanna make things six figures you can’t just be talking about you wanna make six figures.
Do you know what I’m saying to you tonight. If you do the three things I tell you to do tonight I guarantee you whatever it is you wanna do in life you’ll be able to do. You’ll be able to accomplish whatever you want to academically, financially, relationally whatever so three things.
Alright I will tell you this story I gotta get out of here and the story is about you guys are probably heard about this before it was a it was a young man who you know he wanted to make a lot of money and so he went to this Guru right, and he told the Guru, “You know I want to go to same level you on ” and so the Guru said, “If you want to be on the same level I’m on I’ll meet you tomorrow at the beach at 4 am“. He’s like, “the beach? I said I wanna make money, I don’t wanna swim“. Guru said, “If you wanna make money I’ll meet you tomorrow, 4 am“. So the young man got there 4 am he already to rock n’ roll, got on a suit he should have worn shorts. The old man grabs his hand and said, “How bad do you want to be successful“, he said, “Real bad“. He said, ” Walk on out in the water“. So he walks out into the water, watch this, when he walks out into the water he goes waist deep. So he like this guy crazy, like I wanna make money he got me out here swimming. I didn’t ask to be a lifeguard, I wanna make money. He got me in so he said come on a little further. He walked out a little further then he had a right around this area the shoulder area. So this old man crazy he making money but he crazy. Said come out a little further, he came out a little further it was right at his mouth. My man like I’m about to go back in here this guy out of his mind. So the old man said, “I thought you said you wanted to be successful“, he said “I do“. He said, “Walk a little further“. He came and drop his head in held him down hold him down, my man keep scratching holding down I got you, I know you’ve brush it out but I got you. He had him held down I need you for illustration, he had him held down gently for my man was about to pass out. He raise him up he said I got a question for you, somebody answer the question for me. He said when you were underwater what did you want to do. Live. I’m looking for a different word though than live. What’s that word? Breathe. He said he wanted to breathe.
He told the guy he said when you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe then you’ll be successful.
I don’t know how many ya’ll got asthma here today but if you ever had an asthma attack before your short breath. As it’ll be short as a breath you wheezing (wheezing sound). The only thing you’re trying to do is get some air. You don’t care about no basketball games, you don’t care what’s on TV, you don’t care about nobody calling you, you don’t care about a party. The only thing you care about when you trying to breathe is to get some fresh air that’s it and when you get to the point where all you wanna do is be successful as bad as you wanna breathe then you’ll be successful.
And I’m here to tell you number one that most of you say you want to be successful but you don’t want it bad. You just kinda want it. You don’t want it bad than you want it party you don’t want it as much as you wanna be cool. Most of you don’t want success as much as you want to sleep. Some of you love sleep more than you love success and I’m here to tell you today. If you’re going to be successful you gotta be willing to give up sleep. You gotta be willing to work off for three hours of sleep, two hours, if you really want to be successful. Some day you have to stay up three days in a row because if you go to sleep you might miss the opportunity to be successful. That’s how bad you gotta want it. You gotta go days without, listen to me, you gotta want to be successful so bad that you forget to eat.
Beyonce says once she was on a set doing her thing three days had gone by she forgot she didn’t eat cause she was engaged.
I never forget when 50 Cent was doing his movie I did a little research on 50 and 50 said that when he wasn’t doing the movie he was doing a soundtrack and they he said when do you sleep 50? Sleep he says sleep sleep is for those people who are broke I don’t sleep.Said I got opportunity make a dream into reality.
Football players, how many football players? Got any body like football in here raise your hand. Anybody like football? Emmitt Smith I use to be a cowboy fan before they did my boy Tom Landry wrong. I use to be a cowboy fan and watch this. There was a commercial Emmitt Smith had won his first Super Bowl and he had this commercial where he was lifting weights. I don’t know if you saw that commercial when he lifting and he said he said Emmitt said, “You know what I won the Super Bowl so I can rest now“. He had he was doing his bench-press so he said, “ I won a Super Bowl so I can rest now“. So he throws up about 325 boom and he rest for about two seconds then he Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom. Just see that he already won Super Bowl. He said, “I think Ima take a rest” and he rests for how long? One second.
Most of you won’t be successful because when you’re studying and you get tired you quit.
And I’m here to tell you today if you gotta somebody came to my office the other day crying.
I said, “Look don’t cry to give up, cry to keep going”. Don’t cry and quit you already in pain you already hurt get a reward from it. Don’t go to sleep and until you succeed.
Listen to me I’m here to tell you today that you could come here, you can jump up, you can do flips, you can be exciting when we give away money but listen to me you will never be successful until I don’t have to give you a dime to do what you do. You won’t be successful until you say I don’t need that money cause I got in here.
So, listen to me Emmitt Smith said this at the end of the commercial,
Emmitt Smith said, “All men are created equal some work harder in pre-season”.
Ima say it again because you might have missed it “All men are created equal some work harder in pre-season”. So, that means that they are some people who are going to see the professor going to see the T.A and even when the professor says, “I don’t meet with you my T.A meet with you“. You say, “I don’t want to talk to your T.A. I don’t pay the T.A I pay you to teach me. So you will have to find some time to meet me if I gotta meet you at the mall if I gotta meet you at your house you are going to see me”.
Listen to me all men are created equal some work harder in pre-season. When I went to college, guys were way smarter than me. 4.0’s, 3.0’s they went to the Ivy league high schools came to Oakwood from these great high school. Most of them are not doing what I’m doing, why? cause is not about where you come from, it’s about heart. You come to a place where you know being smart ain’t enough you gotta have heart. That’s number one. What’s number two? Number two, catch number two, I wrote it down, I wanna make sure you got it. It says to be, watch this watch this, we talking about sacrifice now. The important thing is this, you right of what I’m saying cause I only have like three more minutes.
Listen to me the most important thing is this to be able at any moment to sacrifice what you are for what you will become.
That’s a number two thing you gotta catch that one. To be able listen to me at any moment some of you you can make sacrifices when Monday night football is not on. You can make a sacrifice but when the game come on for some reason you just attached to it. For some of you when your favourite show come on you can make sacrifices on Sunday but when you’re favourite show comes on Monday, some of you you focus until the phone ring and then you’re like, ” I gotta answer, If I don’t answer the phone I’m going to die“. I’m saying to you today that there’s some of you if you give up your cell phone you would be successful but your cell phone is more important to you than you success. Ima say it again Ima hurt somebody Ima hurt somebody. Some of you need to give up your cellphone because the time you spend on your cell phone could be use for your success. The time you could be using to be successful you’re using it on the cell and the cell phone is not bringing you nothing but a bill and some body has told you you couldn’t live without it. I’m talking about going deep now giving up stuff. Watch what it says “To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could be”.
I don’t do well in math, you’re right. You ain’t never studied. I’m not good in writing cause you have never written before, but I dare you to fail in writing for a whole year to see if you can get to the end. I dare you to fail, I dare you to take that same class over and over again. I dare you to stop dropping classes like you soft. Always wanting to give up, “I’m dropping”. Why are you dropping? I’m so grateful that the slaves didn’t drop and quit saying “I’m just gonna stop, I’m a slave, I’m just going to be a slave, Ima quit“. Listen to me the slaves said, “We will live because one day we will become”.

Showed this to Donald trump and he became president
shut your ass down bitch
tru
This video changed my life completely, this year, 2017, I'm going to do my 1st year at university of my dreams since childhood because of it. It was uplifting me last year, 2016. Thank you very much!
MAN ET YOU ARE A SUPER HERO MAN YOU HELP SO MANY!! IM VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOU
Uncle ET, I love you.❤️. Many thanks for your contribution to humanity.
This is great!! Thank you for sharing your insights and wisdom.
This speech helped me when I was doing my bachelors more than Mr. ET could imagine. This speach is an anthem. Now I am trying to do my dietetics board exam, when I slack, I remember the times in which ET said "When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breath, then you will be successful". So much resonated with me. Thank you for everything Mr. ET.
your video inspires me every time I watch it when I feel like slacking....I'm in college which has many distractions but watching this keeps me focused on what's important.
It's been 3 years since I heard this and it helped me to success so listen to his words and do what u need to do
Where it all started for me this speech gave me goosebumps.Change my mindset completely still my favorite today.
I think people are looking too literally into the statement of giving up sleep to be successful. I may be wrong but my personal understanding of those words mean that sometimes you just have to be willing to grind away for prolonged periods of time, to get what you want. To achieve something great you have to willingly go through the hoops and hurdles first etc etc even if it is performing outside your comfort zone. I listen to a shortened version of this clip every single day. Thank you !
It all started with this video. I watched this 3 years back. The very first. Successful today. thank you ET.
