Transcript

00:00:00.000 Look, I want to have a bit of a serious conversation with you here today.
00:00:19.880 Maybe it's going to be a different angle we'll go, but I think for the right person, it can
00:00:22.900 make a massive impact in the way you view your life because today's a very interesting
00:00:27.020 time where majority of the people are telling you to only think about yourself, not your
00:00:32.140 parents, not your kids, not your peers, not your running mates, not anybody.
00:00:35.980 Just think about yourself.
00:00:37.460 Maybe you don't have a message for you, but let me get right into it.
00:00:39.700 Look, there are three communities that are relying on you and I on the way we live our
00:00:44.520 lives.
00:00:45.280 What you do in your 70, 80, 90, 100 years of living impacts these three different communities.
00:00:50.740 Let me go through each one of them.
00:00:51.900 One of them are people who are no longer here with us.
00:00:54.740 They are dead.
00:00:55.440 The second one are the people that are here with you today.
00:00:58.340 They're living.
00:00:59.540 And the third one is people that are not here today because they're unborn.
00:01:03.520 They may be born next year, 10 years from now, 100 years from now, but they're not here today.
00:01:07.240 Let me go through each one of them.
00:01:08.660 Why are dead people relying on you today?
00:01:10.780 Let me explain to you.
00:01:11.460 My last name is Ben David, right?
00:01:13.880 My mother's last name is Boghossian.
00:01:15.480 My mother's side came from Armenia, Yerevan.
00:01:18.680 And when the whole Stalin Lenin thing happened, they were the whole, and then the Armenian genocide
00:01:22.880 took place, and the Assyrian genocide took place with the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish
00:01:26.340 Empire.
00:01:27.380 One and a half million Armenians were obviously gone through the genocide.
00:01:30.820 So my family escaped with a lothka.
00:01:33.780 They came down from Caspian.
00:01:35.180 See, lothka means a boat.
00:01:36.760 And they came to a city called Bandar Pahlavi, which is a northern part of Iran.
00:01:40.980 And they stayed there.
00:01:41.780 My dad's family escaped Iraq, which used to be Assyria.
00:01:45.140 And they went and lived in Tehran.
00:01:47.100 And then my mom and my dad met, and then boom, I'm born.
00:01:49.660 I've never met my grandfather, from my dad's side.
00:01:51.940 I've never met my great-great-grandparents.
00:01:54.220 I don't know their story.
00:01:55.980 I can't sit with them for them to tell me the amount of sacrifices they've made.
00:01:59.580 I don't know what it was like trying to make sure your wife survived or your daughter doesn't
00:02:04.880 get caught up by one of these soldiers.
00:02:06.520 I don't know what that's like.
00:02:08.080 I don't know that pain.
00:02:09.280 I don't know the fear.
00:02:10.020 I don't know what it's like to wake up in the morning knowing you've seen so many of
00:02:12.960 your families being dead.
00:02:13.920 I don't know that, and we're very quick to forget the amount of sacrifices.
00:02:18.220 The people that are not here with us today made for the unborn, which is you and I.
00:02:24.120 We were not born.
00:02:25.340 I wasn't born yet.
00:02:26.480 Why were they doing that for me?
00:02:27.880 Because they were thinking about my father.
00:02:30.580 And through my father, they were thinking about me.
00:02:32.320 That means a lot to me.
00:02:33.680 It should mean a lot to you.
00:02:35.020 The second one is the people that are living today.
00:02:37.260 A lot of people that are living today are relying on the way you and I live.
00:02:40.300 The legacy, our example.
00:02:41.900 This could be our parents.
00:02:42.700 This could be our brothers.
00:02:43.520 Our sister, this doesn't mean we need to give everybody money and solve everybody's
00:02:47.440 problems, but the way we live.
00:02:49.080 Maybe it's our kids.
00:02:50.520 Maybe it's our people that we work with in the business.
00:02:54.060 These are people that are counting on the way we live because they're going to tell the
00:02:58.060 story of your legacy.
00:02:59.620 And last but not least is the unborn.
00:03:01.160 This could be your future kid.
00:03:02.500 You may not have a kid right now.
00:03:04.820 This could be your future granddaughter.
00:03:07.560 This could be your future daughter-in-law.
00:03:09.160 This could be somebody that's going to be your great, great, great son who may be one day
00:03:14.420 is going to be a president or prime minister of some country.
00:03:17.000 You don't know that.
00:03:18.260 But it's the unborn.
00:03:19.680 See, the dead, the living, the unborn, all three ought to matter to you and I.
00:03:24.100 Why am I saying this to you?
00:03:25.080 Why are we going on such a deep message today?
00:03:27.340 You see, this card right here, they call it the holy grail of hockey cards.
00:03:32.320 This is a Wayne Gretzky hockey card, 1979, OPGPSA 10.
00:03:36.400 There's only two of these in the world.
00:03:38.120 This sold in 2016.
00:03:41.180 It sold for $464,000.
00:03:43.160 The same exact one.
00:03:44.540 Some tell me this is worth $700,000 today.
00:03:46.940 Some tell me it's worth $600,000 today.
00:03:48.740 But I have a buyer today that wants to pay $750,000 for this because he also owns the other
00:03:53.640 one.
00:03:54.080 Why is it so valuable?
00:03:55.340 Let's talk about it.
00:03:56.240 So Wayne Gretzky, first of all, the value of this thing relies on a few different things.
00:04:00.720 Number one, there's only two of these cards in the world.
00:04:03.240 Number two, the surface, the corners, the edges, the centering, all of that matters.
00:04:09.320 Number three is what this guy did when nobody was watching.
00:04:13.600 The Gretzky last name will forever be remembered for what this guy did during that 30 years of
00:04:18.900 practice as a kid with his family and then by himself, he was disciplined and the kind
00:04:25.400 of a teammate he was, the kind of a running mate he was, the kind of an individual he was
00:04:29.760 on a team where he gave more assist than anybody else.
00:04:32.720 He gave more goals for a team than anybody else.
00:04:35.560 He made such an impact in Canada and in LA when he was here to the point where somebody
00:04:42.240 like me is willing to spend the kind of money to buy this card.
00:04:46.360 Why?
00:04:47.360 Let me explain why I'm going with this part again.
00:04:50.480 See, it's very easy to live life and go through the typical four stages that we go through.
00:04:57.880 Stage number one is survival.
00:04:59.080 You try to make money so you can survive, pay the bills, expenses.
00:05:02.160 And I know what it is to do that.
00:05:03.200 I know what it is to be in debt.
00:05:04.100 $49,000 and your Bank of America check-in account says minus $743,000.
00:05:09.000 That's why I kept all my statements till today.
00:05:10.940 I kept every statement on my credit cards till today.
00:05:13.780 I kept my Time Warner credit that I owed because the cable machine I didn't give back, I owed
00:05:20.060 them $750 because of late fees.
00:05:22.580 I kept everything today because it reminds me of this guy.
00:05:25.820 Yes, I'm sitting in a 400 some thousand dollar car.
00:05:28.500 Yes, I've had all the different things.
00:05:29.860 Yes, I'm, you know, 15,000 square foot home, three stories, elevators.
00:05:34.060 Yes, all of that stuff.
00:05:35.560 And I love that stuff.
00:05:36.760 I mean, I don't have any problem with that stuff that I have that I'm not pitching that
00:05:40.280 in a way of, that must be the Almighty.
00:05:43.020 But nothing is close to the legacy that's left for the people that are not here with
00:05:50.340 me today.
00:05:51.420 If I believe in the higher law, God, that one day I'm going to reunite with my great-grandfather
00:05:57.340 that I never had a chance to speak to, my great-great-grandfather that I never had a chance to break bread with
00:06:03.100 and tell me, what kind of sacrifices you made for me to be who I am today?
00:06:07.160 I get a lot of the credit today for Bet David, but I'm nobody without what you did.
00:06:11.480 I may not even exist if you didn't take care of my dad because I'd never be born.
00:06:15.340 What'd you do with my mom for my mom?
00:06:17.640 You know, that was your granddaughter.
00:06:19.380 I mean, I have so much.
00:06:20.280 I want to have that conversation one day.
00:06:22.420 I want to have the conversation with the people that I'm running with today to say,
00:06:26.080 man, you can count on Pat.
00:06:27.480 So I want to know about Pat.
00:06:28.320 If you're in business with Pat, that dude is somebody that I'd go to war with.
00:06:32.220 That matters to me, to be a good teammate, to be a good leader, to be somebody that, you
00:06:36.780 know, so many of you guys pull me aside and you tell me things like, Pat, you don't even
00:06:41.080 know the positive impact that's being made in the world.
00:06:43.040 That matters and it ought to matter to all of us, the impact.
00:06:47.340 It's not for notoriety.
00:06:48.780 It's to say that the world came way before me and I'm just a small little thing, speck.
00:06:53.600 I'm going to come and I'm going to be gone.
00:06:55.160 But I want to make sure that time that I have, I'm making an impact.
00:06:57.200 Same as you.
00:06:57.680 And then the unborn, my kids are seven, six, and three.
00:07:01.180 They don't have any kids right now.
00:07:02.260 They're probably not going to have kids for a while.
00:07:04.200 I think about my granddaughter and my grandson that God willing, I'll have one day.
00:07:09.260 I think about who my son's going to marry.
00:07:10.880 My sons are going to marry.
00:07:11.860 My daughter's going to marry.
00:07:12.780 I think about those things.
00:07:14.660 I think about society, America, that this has been handed to me today generationally.
00:07:19.320 I want to hopefully make the country better and the world better with the influence I can
00:07:24.320 so my son, my daughter, my kids can one day go enjoy it as well.
00:07:28.480 I owe it to the next generation because this generation was given to me due to the prior
00:07:32.920 generation and it's getting better.
00:07:35.560 It's a great time to be living today.
00:07:37.400 So I told you this was a bit of a serious message today.
00:07:40.340 See, one day people are going to walk over our tombstone, our grave, whatever you want
00:07:44.460 to call it.
00:07:44.840 They'll go to a funeral and the family members that love us are going to be like, oh my gosh,
00:07:49.840 we love this person.
00:07:51.440 Then the people that we ran with will come and they'll say, wow, this guy was a great
00:07:54.260 guy to be working with.
00:07:55.800 This guy made an impact.
00:07:56.600 Then there'll be strangers that'll show up that I've never met you before, but they'll
00:08:00.360 say, man, this guy made an impact in my life and I've never even met him.
00:08:02.500 And they'll cry because the impact you'll make.
00:08:04.820 There are many people like that.
00:08:06.440 This man impacted my life.
00:08:07.780 I've done that with many people's, you know, when I go to the cemetery and I see them
00:08:11.420 and I sit there next to them, I've never met you before.
00:08:13.420 I'll say, I've never met you before.
00:08:15.520 Man, thank you for your courage.
00:08:18.020 Let me tell you something.
00:08:18.740 Man, thank you.
00:08:20.420 You inspire me.
00:08:22.180 You inspire me even though you're not here.
00:08:24.360 This is why the painting on my wall consists of everybody that's dead except for one person
00:08:29.660 and that's me.
00:08:31.380 Dead people inspire me because they made an impact for our lives to be better.
00:08:37.160 I told you this is a deeper talk, deeper message, but I hope you internalize it.
00:08:42.140 Because one day someone's going to look back and they're going to ask you, you may not
00:08:46.920 even be around.
00:08:47.640 They're going to be grateful for the life you lived or you'd be somebody that'll be remembered
00:08:52.500 for one generation, two generations and forgotten after that.
00:08:55.200 For the right person listening to this, if that gave you the chills and it makes you think
00:09:01.400 about the dead, the living and the unborn, I certainly hope this inspires you to live
00:09:07.060 life in a different way moving forward.
00:09:08.500 Not just the rest of the year, the following year, the next five years, 10 years, 20 years,
00:09:14.500 50 years, however old you are, for the rest of your life.
00:09:18.440 I hope this makes you look at life in a completely different way.
00:09:21.020 And I hope you have the courage to do something about it because that's the toughest part.
00:09:26.340 Thanks everybody for listening.
