gentlemen being young is not an excuse
for being lazy uninformed be
self-destructive or dumb what you do and
how you handle your business now is
going to impact you not only now but in
the future I am so sick and tired of
looking at YouTube Facebook Twitter the
news and seeing whiny little bit little
Jimmy got his precious little feelings
hurt because he didn't get a trophy
really failed the test so he's telling
his parents about the mean teacher I'm
offended about this I'm offended about
that everybody's offended about being
offended we have turned into a bunch of
complete if you want to win it life it
starts with you right now
no one's gonna do it for you it's time
to man up face reality and figure it out
is it today I figured I'd go over 10
things that you as a teen or pretty much
anybody need to know in order to kick
ass at life tip number one develop a
thicker skin life isn't fair people are
mean but if you're going to let other
people's opinion dictate who you are and
affect your self-esteem they win you
lose game over there's a big difference
between constructive criticism and just
plain old criticism learn the difference
listen to the constructive feedback hell
with the rest tip number two is you
don't need everything you want some of
your friends will have more than you
some will have less appreciate what you
have and don't worry that you're not
having or driving or whatever it's okay
you shouldn't and to be completely
honest growing up poor is actually an
advantage when your parents or people
hand you stuff that you didn't have to
work hard or bust your ass to get you
don't appreciate it
you don't understand what it actually
takes to get it growing up or like I did
makes you work makes you hungry makes
you have a desire to succeed more than
you need oxygen gentlemen if you can
harness that my friend successful tip
number three is on
understand that you will fail from time
to time and failure can be amazing
gentlemen I did a video talking all
about the upside to the downside of
failing it's listed in linked in the
description it's a good one
watch it tip number four don't do drugs
that's pretty much it don't drink in
excess alright I know your friends might
be doing it I know that it might be cool
I know that it might feel good but I'm
here to tell you if you go down that
path now you're setting yourself up for
disaster don't do drugs or do and make
it easier for me to be successful that's
cool whatever tip number five pick good
friends if you surround yourself with
pieces of crap people people that don't
have your same goals values Drive or
passion they're going to bring you down
to their level you're not going to lift
them up surround yourself with the type
of people you want to be tip number six
be nice to everybody not the cool people
not the people that everybody tip number
seven do what's right not what's easy
following the crowd being a sheep
watching and doing what your friends are
doing that's easy
standing up for yourself what you know
is right that is difficult but my
friends I will tell you it will make you
more successful in life tip number eight
don't be afraid of hard work everybody
who is ultimately successful who
ultimately wins at life has had to put
in the time the energy and the work tip
number nine listen to your parents I
know they might not be cool I know they
might be saying things and you're like
mom get away from me you have no idea
what you're talking about but the fact
is they have been there they want what's
best for you no ifs ands or buts about
it they want you to be more successful
than them but sometimes unfortunately we
have parents that suck and if that's the
case I'm sorry some do
you'll be alright though and tip number
ten and probably the most important tip
that I can offer you stand up for
yourself people will always try and take
advantage of you if you let them taking
pride in yourself having good character
and doing what is right standing up for
yourself because gentlemen I'm here to
tell you no one else is going to do it
and it's nobody else's responsibility to
neither gentleman I did a video talking
about how to stand up for yourself
that's also listed in length in the
description I wanted to do this video
because I want what's best for you and I
wish somebody would have told me this
stuff when I was younger because it
would have had a dramatic impact on me
if I actually had somebody that I
respected let me know sort of what the
deal is
and so I feel like with this channel I
have a unique opportunity and I've got a
voice and I just want to use it for
positive and I want to hopefully impact
a few dudes in a positive way all right
life's tough man it's not getting any
easier all right but all this nonsense
that we see about everybody being so
upset and offended the deal is nobody's
going to hand you anything it is
nobody's responsibility to ensure that
you're happy other than yours
nobody else's job to help you alright
if you're going to wait for somebody
else to do for you you're gonna be
waiting a long time nothing great was
ever accomplished because it was easier
handed to you guys we need to take
responsibility for our own actions don't
put up with [ __ ] don't accept
negativity from other people you are
positive you're perfect and I think you
are amazing
