Tate Speech - Tate on Success Secrets

In this episode, I talk about my upbringing and how it shaped me into the person I am today, and why I have always been so driven my entire life. I also talk about why I don t want to be an average loser, and how I was never told that I was a genius as a child. And I explain why I've always believed I can do anything I want because of my last name Tate, and the influence of my father, who was a professional chess player and chess player, and a professional kickboxer, and who is now a multi-millionaire, and is one of the most successful people in the world. I also explain why it s so important to be proud of your own last name, because you deserve to be a millionaire because you are a millionaire, and that you deserve a good job and a good education, and it s important to have a good upbringing. And that s why I ve always believed that you can do ANYTHING you want because you re a TAYT, and you can achieve anything you want, because YOU ARE A TATE, and I m a TATE. I m not even joking, I m talking about it. If you don t know who I am, you re not even listening to this podcast because you're not listening to it, you're listening to the right people, you don't even have the right to know what I am talking about, you are not even the right? You're not even getting a proper education, you aren't even getting the education you need to know that you're gonna get a good one? You don t even get an education? You re not getting an education you're just gonna get the right kind of education? You don't get it? I'm not even even getting it? You aren t even getting that education you can get the education that you need, you won't even get a proper one? You won t even be allowed to know the proper education you deserve? And you won t get that? you'll never get an A? You won't get a decent one of an education that s gonna be good enough, you'll just be a good enough? You'll just get the chance to get the minimum standard? and you'll get a basic A? you'll only get the bare standard? You ll just get a minimum standard in your class? You can t get an ass kicking, you can't even be an A+A?

00:00:00.000 right so I get asked a lot about motivation and people say Tate what motivates you and I find 0.94

00:00:13.720 that extremely I think that's a stupid question what motivates me because I don't want to be a 0.96

00:00:18.700 loser like who wants to be a loser I've always wanted to be rich because I know I deserve to 1.00

00:00:24.160 be rich because I see how many stupid people are rich look at any rapper and have look at any of 1.00

00:00:30.020 their interviews and see how low their IQ is and these people are millionaires we got a special 1.00

00:00:33.680 guest in the building Tekashi 69 I'm the hottest artist in the city

00:00:38.440 no you're not so if they're a millionaire I definitely deserve to be a millionaire

00:00:48.340 so I've always had motivation for the same reason I want to be big and strong and rich I want to be

00:00:52.800 all these things because I'm me so I was talking to somebody the other day and they said why are you

00:00:56.960 motivated and I said because I don't want to be a loser and I said yeah I understand that but why

00:01:00.320 are we are you so uncomfortable with the idea of being average loser and you have to push so hard 0.58

00:01:08.380 so I guess my typical response wasn't enough for him why are you so motivated don't be a loser okay 0.87

00:01:14.400 but why don't you want to be a loser so I sat there for a little bit and I thought and I thought what is

00:01:18.940 the reason I have always been so driven my entire life and it's obviously to do with my upbringing

00:01:25.460 but it's like what element of my upbringing made me into such a militant individual what made me so

00:01:30.540 brilliant from a young age I was a professional chess player and then I became a professional

00:01:34.000 kickboxer and then I became multimillionaire businessman blah blah blah why have I always

00:01:37.800 pushed so hard and I think one of the key elements to it is because I was always extremely proud

00:01:43.980 of my last name Tate and the reason for that is in the environment I grew up around whenever the name

00:01:51.840 Tate was said people put respect on the name so when I used to go to professional chess tournaments

00:01:58.240 with my father who was one of the best chess players in the world people would say oh shit Tate's here

00:02:02.460 oh man Tate's here oh who's got Tate who's playing Tate everyone was scared and the name invoked fear 0.57

00:02:10.040 the name invoked respect automatically just the name Tate every time something was happening to me

00:02:15.800 that was difficult or I had a challenge ahead of me etc etc I was motivated with my own last name

00:02:21.400 so it's like oh dad I'm worried about this or mom I'm scared about this and they say yeah but you're a

00:02:26.280 Tate it's like oh yeah I am scared but I am a Tate so it's okay because I'm I'm a Tate even now even as

00:02:32.660 successful as I am most people would look and go oh my look at my child they've done this they've done

00:02:37.980 this they've done this I guarantee as a child I outperformed any of you as children and I guarantee

00:02:42.500 if you have children I would I outperformed your child this is the reality of I was moved up three

00:02:45.840 grades in school I'd run the highest SAT scores in history I was a chess champion age five blah blah

00:02:50.420 blah blah so state chess champion in the under 16 year olds at age five the youngest in history in

00:02:56.400 fact I remember being five years old and playing a whole bunch of 10 year olds there's four of them on

00:03:00.420 a team against me I remember sitting there whooping them all so uh I was a genius child genius adult

00:03:06.220 genius whatever whatever but I was never told oh wow you're so smart for me it was just normal

00:03:12.820 they're like yeah you're a Tate oh they moved me up three grades in school well duh you're a Tate 0.85

00:03:16.780 of course what the fuck else are you gonna do so for me achieving things was always very very normal 0.89

00:03:21.620 and it was always very very easy in my mind it was always just like well duh of course I achieve 0.99

00:03:25.620 things of course I'll be world champion of course I'll be a millionaire of course I can do anything I

00:03:29.620 want and I've always believed I can do anything I want because I'm a Tate and for me achieving things is

00:03:34.000 very very easy and I was never overtly praised and my parents were never surprised by my success

00:03:39.340 a lot of parents are very very surprised by the success of their children I'll see it they go he's

00:03:43.580 one of the best in his class and I'm like so he's he's one of the best so he's not even the best

00:03:51.200 of a group of random 30 random average losers he's not top one percent in the world or anything

00:03:56.520 and you're so proud of him and you're gonna sit there and go wow great job great job and that's 0.98

00:04:00.700 why he's never gonna become shit how I'd be embarrassed to have a child which wasn't top 0.99

00:04:05.880 one percent in the in in the country let alone his shitty class I'd be embarrassed to brag about 0.99

00:04:12.580 the things you brag about they're bare minimum acceptable standard if I had a child and he wasn't 0.99

00:04:17.940 one of the best in his class get an ass kicking that's the bare minimum acceptable standard and

00:04:24.160 you're proud of it so one of the main reasons I guess I've always been so motivated one of the

00:04:29.740 reasons my life is so fantastic because the truth is I am one of those individuals that have all 0.97

00:04:34.320 I was born with a genetic gift I'm tall caramel sexiest fuck rich I can fight I'm a genius I got 0.93

00:04:42.640 it all and one of the reasons I've taken such marvelous advantage of my genetic gifts and use 0.97

00:04:51.260 them so beautifully and exploited them it's because I was always always understanding that one my name

00:04:56.980 means something and I have to live up to my name and I have to succeed because when people say the

00:05:01.060 name Tate it needs to mean something so just like in the chess halls when the name Tate was said now in

00:05:05.600 the kickboxing world of the name Tate is said people know it means something you guys are here if you

00:05:09.940 follow me and you watch my whole life etc etc etc if anyone else knows who I am you say the name Tate

00:05:14.580 people know they know what it means something I've made it mean something one and two because my

00:05:19.760 successes were always seen as absolutely not really normal and it was absolutely not really normal for me to

00:05:24.820 succeed beyond all measurable doubt on any expectations the average expectations put on the

00:05:30.740 average child or the average person or the average man I have always blown out of the water without 0.99

00:05:35.340 even trying it's just been easy for me because this is how I've always been as an individual so I guess

00:05:40.740 the moral of the story is I was raised for success and if you're sitting there and you're thinking oh I

00:05:45.920 want to be more motivated only more motivated you have two things to do one stop being proud of your

00:05:50.620 achievements which are extremely minor oh look what I did today what'd you do is actually

00:05:56.780 impressive genuinely the answer is no one and I'm saying that I mean like because even me in my life

00:06:02.540 I can have if I win a kickboxing world title okay I'll be proud of myself outside of that

00:06:08.080 well I bought oh I bought a new car who cares all the things you're so happy about all the things you 0.64

00:06:12.220 brag about it's bullshit things it's things everyone does every day it's not important one and two 0.97

00:06:16.960 you need to make your name important you need to make your name important you have to find a way 0.98

00:06:21.100 to invoke a level of respect on your name the only way you do that the only way you can possibly do

00:06:25.700 that is by achieving things that others cannot do

00:06:28.000 you

00:06:36.740 you

00:06:38.740 you
