I believe there's never ever been a time in human history where we are more confused than
00:00:28.720
I believe there's never ever been a time in human history where people, you and I, are
00:00:38.560
You see, if you were to go back a thousand years ago, and you and I are living in a family
00:00:42.520
where our father's a farmer, what do you think we're going to do when we grow up?
00:00:52.060
You're probably going to do what your father does, and you're probably going to marry somebody
0.65
00:00:55.700
within the community because it's a small village, it's a small city, and the traditions
00:01:00.600
that we have, the church we go to, we don't have millions of different options.
00:01:10.240
If you wanted to today, you have more choices and options today than ever before.
00:01:15.440
On career, on religion, on politics, on social media, on content to consume, on dating.
00:01:20.640
If you wanted to have 10 dates every single day starting at 6 a.m. in the morning at the
00:01:25.940
gym, till 10 p.m. at night at Starbucks, on Saturday and Sunday, you could set it up today.
00:01:39.920
So this whole thing has made it so challenging.
00:01:43.140
Being an 18 year old today has got to be the most challenging time ever to be 18 years old
00:01:48.380
if you don't have the one currency which I'll talk about here in a minute.
00:01:53.660
So the other day I'm holding a conference call and on the conference call one of the guys
00:01:56.540
asked me a question saying, Pat, how do you figure out a way to stay sane today and
00:02:10.500
I got employees, investors, lawyers, creating content.
00:02:13.560
All of this stuff combined together trying to exercise, stay in shape, kind of find out
00:02:17.960
what's going on with the economy, with the news.
00:02:20.180
How do you keep all that together and not lose it?
00:02:27.120
Every single year at the end of the year, I take a piece of paper and I write down, what
00:02:33.180
Then I go 18, 19, 20, 21, all the way down to my age today.
00:02:40.640
Is the 41-year-old Pat today hungrier, strategic, wiser, okay?
00:02:49.940
Meaning, if the 41-year-old Pat was to compete against the 35-year-old Pat, who would win?
00:02:55.900
If the 41-year-old Pat were to go against the 40-year-old Pat, who would win?
00:02:59.580
What is the difference between the 32-year-old Pat versus the 41-year-old Pat?
00:03:04.260
Now, sometime when you say this, a lot of people will say, well, Pat, I'm wiser than I've ever
00:03:11.700
The more mistakes you make, you're going to be wiser.
00:03:15.100
The more books you read, the more new people you meet, somehow, someway, more life experiences
00:03:25.360
Am I supposed to be as hungry as I am, you know, at 28, at 40?
00:03:30.800
Am I not supposed to be a little bit more calmer?
00:03:38.800
We have two people running for office today, okay?
00:03:40.860
Both of them are in their mid-70s, Sanders and Trump, and they are hungrier than anybody
00:03:50.960
Think about the 74, 75-year-old President Trump going against 40-year-old Donald Trump.
00:03:56.900
Think about if the 75-year-old Sanders is going against the 40-year-old Sanders.
00:04:03.260
See, in any competitive environment, if you and I were to go into any competitive environment,
00:04:08.460
business, sports, it doesn't matter what it is.
00:04:10.920
The moment you decide to compete, every morning you wake up, you fall into one of three categories.
00:04:16.380
You're either a hunter, trying to go find your prey.
00:04:19.600
You're either someone's prey, who's trying to hunt you, or you're collaborating with
00:04:26.060
Just like what just happened today with T-Mobile and Sprint.
00:04:29.340
They came together to try to go against AT&T or Verizon once it gets approved.
00:04:34.300
But if you don't hunt anymore, you will be hunted.
00:04:39.720
That's why sometimes business gets a black eye because it's constant competition.
00:04:47.680
If you're talking to yourself right now, you're asking yourself, you're 50 years old, are you
00:04:55.060
But if you're not as hungry as 40, you may be someone's prey today.
00:05:03.720
Go back to when you were hungry and think about the state you were in.
00:05:07.280
You'd watch a movie like Gladiator and you'd start getting emotional because you'd say,
00:05:13.440
I want that feeling of redemption like this guy has.
00:05:23.500
It gave you encouragement in ways nothing else was given you at that time.
00:05:30.480
When's the last time you put yourself in a position to feel that way?
00:05:35.360
Just because you're aging doesn't mean you shouldn't be hungrier.
00:05:37.860
You ought to get hungrier because you have more tools and mechanism and strategy and ways
00:05:46.700
You know, I told you earlier the most valuable currency today, it's also the hardest currency,
00:05:51.260
but if you can get this currency on your side, it's going to be very hard to compete with
00:05:56.980
The one currency today that will give you an edge in a marketplace over everybody else,
00:06:02.260
if you know how to concentrate on one thing, you have an edge.
00:06:08.500
If you know how to concentrate your efforts and be focused on one thing, you have an edge.
00:06:13.540
If you can be focused on one thing and not look at everything else that everybody else
00:06:18.740
is looking at, 50 different philosophies, 75 different ways to make money, 19 different
00:06:25.700
If you can figure out where to go here, all of that stuff is going to come your way.
00:06:29.800
But if you go chase all the other stuff like everyone else is, you're going to miss the
00:06:33.040
whole point of winning in life because you can't concentrate.
00:06:37.680
Concentration today is the number one currency.
00:06:40.200
You show me anyone today who knows how to concentrate, I'll show you someone that nobody
00:06:44.900
wants to compete with because it's very intimidating to concentrate in today's time.
00:06:53.540
I totally understand where you could be here today, but imagine if you could concentrate,
00:07:00.280
Imagine if you went back and you started being hungry like you once were before.
00:07:09.720
If you stay hungry and if you can stay concentrated at a time where the world is confused today.
00:07:16.360
