I like this " what did you not do" .... profound

[@grindhardtrey]

Keep that fire coming 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@marlixtorrealba5701]

Here's some tips for becoming successful. 1) Take control of your own health. 2) Learn about the power of the mind. 3) Walk in in the tracks of people who have already done what you plan to do. I found these tips from the Magic Progress Shortcut (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the best info on success i've heard of.

[@TTB0209]

+DavkaMusic I think he means it in terms of privilege. Country clubs, playing golf - they're stereotypically seen as being predominantly rich, well connected people. So he didn't get to where he was on handouts or by knowing the right people, he got here because of his grind.

[@xMpeKriSx]

+DavkaMusic sarcasm on hypocrisy, you dont have to play golf in order to be successfull

[@stilltoks6904]

+KOUKLOS* but many people that ate successful play golf sterotypically.

[@xMpeKriSx]

KronisTheGreat Yes, in general. But i don't know if playing-golf is a byproduct of your success or most of them just happened to like it or impress.

This one really hit home 7 years ago at age 27…now its 7 years later and I’m graduating with a M.S. in Computer Science this May from a top university.

Dr. Eric Thomas helped me change my life. It's because of his inspiration that I completed my independent insurance adjuster state license test successfully on my 5TH tries, after 4 consecutive fails. Now, I am a licensed IIA, and nearly a year after first stumbling across the Dr, I have been self-employed in my own right and making more money per month than I ever did in my life. Thank you, Dr. Eric Thomas, for helping me improve my life and the lives of those most important to me.

[@faa1412]

+Alty Not even most, i'd say half, because I know African Americans who also think like Eric Thomas. Like he said, there will be racism until the day he dies so there's no point in wallowing in it. At the end of the day, it hasn't stopped successful blacks from achieving great things, and for some racism even propelled them to do great things. It's all about perspective. There are many non-blacks who want to see black people succeed but black people seem to not think so and think everybody is out to get them. They don't even realize they have so much power but yet they listen to "woe is me pro black hustlers" who play on their emotions and illogical thinking. Not all but some. I know some black people who get tired of hearing other black people complain about everything. A black person is more likely to deal with bullshit from their own people than racist non-black people.

I graduate the 28 impatient treatment in 3 days. And I am going to continue with my recovery on to a sober living house. "I can,. I will, and I must." After 20 years of suffering from the active disease of addiction, I'm finally doing something about because I got up and did something about it. I wanted to be clean and sober more than I wanted to breathe, more than sleep. E.T. my brother you have inspired me to reach beyond my wildest dreams.... Limitless is new goal. Because I can, I will, and I must get up and change this vicious cycle of the disease of addiction. Because I believe I'll be able to help somebody that's walked in my shoes one day because I've been inspired by Eric Thomas. Thank you my brother.

This man's words and wisdom holds more weight than any wannabe black activist of today. He's lived through the struggle and faced adversity on so many levels. He didn't make excuses or chose to remain a victim to the injustices of the world. He is indeed living proof that life can deal you a shifty hand, but how you play that hand is the difference between success and failure.

Raijin Dragon black activist lived through struggles long before him

Every time I'm feeling down I look at this video and check myself. Last time I looked at it I went into a job truck driving as a solo. The first time I looked at it I FIRST GOT MY CDL. Now I'm looking at it again. And I'll say, homeless now but I'm about to come alive. No more excuses again! 3'rd times the charm. This my 3'rd time viewing this video.

“No I didn’t grow up on that side of the town. No my mamma don’t have no network. No I don’t know a whole lot of people. No I’m not at a country club. No I don’t play golf and I don’t plan on playing no time soon. But I’m still gonna be successful. I’m still gonna get to where they are... WHY? Because I owe it to myself. And can’t nobody stop me but ME.”

1st year college i got an E in Chemistry. I was gutted and realised things needed to change. 2nd year came. I watched this video every day when I woke up at 4am. I worked hard. At the end of the year, results day came. Overall I got a B (Year 1 Resits in addition to Year 2)! From an E to a B in 1 year is the biggest achievement I have ever gotten. Winners win, losers lose. Yes 100%. Thank you ET for inspiring me. As for anyone reading this comment, never give up

[@aestheticaj5869]

congratulations

I am a 23 year old white male from America. I grew up in a two parent household in upper middle class and finished college in December of 2014. I have literally everything on my side and yet I still have no motivation and no drive to accomplish things. I am obese, drink too much, gambrel often, don't have goals and don't push myself at work. I have been watching your video every morning at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="390">6:30</a>am and then working out. I had given up and ET has made it possible for me to realize I OWE MYSELF! I have so much potential and I have to guide it and direct it and I couldn't find my way before this video. Thank you ET, you inspired me to not only keep fighting but to grind and impact the world someday. #YouOweYou

[@RandomPersonsOpinion]

Charles Clayton how are you doing now?

[@roberth8647]

Eric Thomas - you were put on this earth for a reason, and you're where you should be! You're helping people. Your compassion, your commitment, your dedication is so obvious. And you help yourself, you can see it. You not only motivate others, you motivate yourself.

[@MyTimeToReinvent]

What did I not do? Switch the script. I owe myself to be ALL of who God called me to be. Nothing is an accident. Thanks E.T!

[@alleighbaur6416]

ET you have helped me so much. I failed my nursing exam 6 times; I’m the last one of my graduating class that hasn’t gotten my RN license. I went through a rough few years, but by watching your videos, you have inspired and motivated me to rise and grind until I reach my goal of having that RN behind my name. So, thank you. You’ve helped me in more ways than you’ll ever know.

[@gaidenboxer9012]

WORD!!!!!!! THIS TALK IS 100% REAL Y'all. i came to bangkok 4 years ago with a one way ticket only and 700 bucks in my pocket with no certainty of getting paid next month. This i made way way more money and crushed goals i had 3 years back. even at a time of the pandemic. If there's no open door in front of you, make the door. stop making excuses. be a victor and not a victim, i say this to myself too everyday. Thanks man.
