RT threadguy (@notthreadguy)the cold hard blunt truth about winners is they simply win. it doesn’t matter about adversity, doubters or things not going their way. it’s an adverse world. winners find a way. at the end of the day anyone can make excuses. anyone can say i would have that or they should have this. anyone can blame variables. but when its all said and done theres either a W or an L in the win column. and thats ultimately what separates us. you from me. me and you. its the W. it’s not always the ...

As stated, for over 30 years, I've stood at the front of English classrooms, not with a sword, but with a whiteboard marker. My battlefield. Teenage distraction. My armor. Grammar rules. My victories. Quiet ones. A raised hand. A wellargued essay. And a boy who finally understood metaphor. But four years ago, adversity rewrote my lesson plan.

Before I want to start this speech, I want to ask you all a question. The question is, how many of you are currently facing adversity? Maybe some of you raised your hand. Maybe some of you didn't.

[snorts] I thought being a tough guy would help me meet the adversities.So what did I do. I started to be aggressive. I started to use my aggression to face the adversity.But you see, aggressio ...

What gets you out of bed in the morning. Is it your mom. Do you set an alarm.Or does do not disturb on your phone wake you up. Is it the sun. Is it your bladder. Is it hunger.Is it a desire to make the most of every moment or the urge to be more. Do any of you just roll over and go back to sleep or at least pretend to. I always used to call this half sleep.How long can you keep it up. Can you roll over for 1 hour, two, five, a whole day. At what point do you just get a little bored and get out of bed.This i ...

Good evening everyone. I'm Ye and thank you for coming. May I ask you to think about the last time you wanted to wash your hands.Perhaps it was just an hour or two ago when you were eating dinner and there was some food on your hands. Or maybe it was right before you came to the auditorium after you used the restroom. In any case, when we turn our heads down the hall, there's a sink with a faucet that gushes clean water at the flick of the tap.Well, when I was in northern Thailand coaching basketball to the ...

[Music] [Applause] When you think of success, maybe you think of hoisting a Lombardi trophy after winning a Super Bowl.
