1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,259 but i just want to tell you I'm gonna 2 00:00:02,490 --> 00:00:06,810 because I when I saw all those youth 3 00:00:04,259 --> 00:00:08,790 great looking young people 4 00:00:06,810 --> 00:00:10,649 ok i just said you know I'm gonna talk 5 00:00:08,790 --> 00:00:12,360 for a couple of minutes about success 6 00:00:10,650 --> 00:00:13,830 does should i do that i mean should i do 7 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,130 that what you want to hear about this 8 00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:20,340 boring politics should I talk about a 9 00:00:17,130 --> 00:00:21,930 little bit i'm giving so much money to 10 00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:23,820 talk about success and I give it to 11 00:00:21,930 --> 00:00:25,230 charities but i love talking about 12 00:00:23,820 --> 00:00:26,910 success frankly i like talking about 13 00:00:25,230 --> 00:00:29,039 success much more than politics right 14 00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:31,140 but there are a few things when you're 15 00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:33,329 talking about being successful and and I 16 00:00:31,140 --> 00:00:34,290 saying and I say it and it's never going 17 00:00:33,329 --> 00:00:36,809 to change 18 00:00:34,290 --> 00:00:39,540 you have to love what you do you're all 19 00:00:36,809 --> 00:00:41,099 young ideally you love something that's 20 00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:42,719 a good business for instance some 21 00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:44,910 businesses aren't good business i will 22 00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:46,559 name but the tough businesses other 23 00:00:44,910 --> 00:00:49,860 business historically have been good 24 00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:51,570 businesses you have to absolutely love 25 00:00:49,860 --> 00:00:53,670 what you do 26 00:00:51,570 --> 00:00:55,530 ideally love what you do in a good 27 00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:57,899 business but you know what if you give 28 00:00:55,530 --> 00:01:00,449 it's not necessarily that good 29 00:00:57,899 --> 00:01:02,190 the loving is more important than having 30 00:01:00,449 --> 00:01:05,009 that good business some people want to 31 00:01:02,190 --> 00:01:07,289 be teachers I mean some of the happiest 32 00:01:05,010 --> 00:01:10,920 people and the most successful people 33 00:01:07,290 --> 00:01:12,240 that I know are people that aren't the 34 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,710 richest at all 35 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,100 they don't make it all the most money 36 00:01:13,710 --> 00:01:19,320 their teachers their scientists know 37 00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:21,539 people that a scientist that are like 38 00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:24,929 they can't wait to get to work 39 00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:27,930 they can't wait policeman you know our 40 00:01:24,930 --> 00:01:29,970 police departments are I think terribly 41 00:01:27,930 --> 00:01:31,680 disrespected I think they're not given 42 00:01:29,970 --> 00:01:37,908 the credit for the great job they do I 43 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:41,840 have to be honest 44 00:01:37,909 --> 00:01:43,670 so true and our vets and our people our 45 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,799 military but but i will tell you that 46 00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:47,899 the the happy people with the people 47 00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:49,640 number one the people with great 48 00:01:47,899 --> 00:01:51,200 families people that have great 49 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,189 relationships with their wives or 50 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,840 husbands very very important towards 51 00:01:55,189 --> 00:01:58,669 success because i don't consider success 52 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,950 necessarily monitor because I know the 53 00:01:58,670 --> 00:02:02,299 most successful people in the world and 54 00:02:00,950 --> 00:02:03,799 many of these people are really 55 00:02:02,299 --> 00:02:06,920 miserable people 56 00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:07,819 ok no matter what and perhaps some in 57 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,890 that category 58 00:02:07,819 --> 00:02:12,200 okay but i'm pretty happy i'm at least 59 00:02:09,889 --> 00:02:14,929 some very content i can tell you but 60 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,000 some of the most successful people in 61 00:02:14,930 --> 00:02:18,860 the world I know like many of them i 62 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,799 don't know all i guess but i know that 63 00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:24,470 they seem to know all and they couldn't 64 00:02:21,799 --> 00:02:26,480 they cross my path a lot and then not 65 00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:28,700 necessarily happy people they're very 66 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,700 wealthy people but they're in many cases 67 00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:33,140 extremely unhappy now with all of that I 68 00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:35,869 don't want to talk you out of things 69 00:02:33,140 --> 00:02:38,238 because we're talking about success most 70 00:02:35,870 --> 00:02:40,160 people think success is measured in the 71 00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:42,470 form of monetary success 72 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,630 it's not really i mean to me a 73 00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:47,239 successful person has a great family who 74 00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:50,209 loves the family loves the the children 75 00:02:47,239 --> 00:02:52,099 and the children love him or her to me 76 00:02:50,209 --> 00:02:53,510 that's a much more successful person 77 00:02:52,099 --> 00:02:55,910 that a person that's made a billion 78 00:02:53,510 --> 00:02:57,950 dollars or ten billion dollars and his 79 00:02:55,910 --> 00:03:00,410 miserable and doesn't have a good family 80 00:02:57,950 --> 00:03:01,369 and nobody likes the person and you know 81 00:03:00,410 --> 00:03:02,870 I've seen him 82 00:03:01,370 --> 00:03:05,540 i've seen every i think i've seen every 83 00:03:02,870 --> 00:03:07,430 type of person there is that God created 84 00:03:05,540 --> 00:03:09,410 if you want to know the truth and the 85 00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:11,329 people are the happiest are not 86 00:03:09,410 --> 00:03:14,959 necessarily the people of the wealthiest 87 00:03:11,329 --> 00:03:18,919 ok but in terms of monetary success 88 00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:21,380 it does make life easier you don't have 89 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:24,650 to worry about food and housing and 90 00:03:21,380 --> 00:03:26,239 education and sickness your doctor's you 91 00:03:24,650 --> 00:03:30,109 go to the best doctors and hopefully 92 00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:34,099 that solves the problems but they are it 93 00:03:30,109 --> 00:03:36,500 does make life easier and I tell told so 94 00:03:34,099 --> 00:03:38,988 many stories about different types of 95 00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:41,419 people for instance you love what you do 96 00:03:38,989 --> 00:03:42,560 you're going to never ever quit or give 97 00:03:41,419 --> 00:03:45,230 up never quit 98 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,699 you're going to be so close my father 99 00:03:45,230 --> 00:03:48,500 used to tell the story he thought it was 100 00:03:46,699 --> 00:03:49,050 funny but I actually thought it was more 101 00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:51,660 or less 102 00:03:49,050 --> 00:03:55,200 he viewed it as funny and it was about a 103 00:03:51,660 --> 00:03:57,150 man who loved the cola business he loved 104 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,679 you know soft drinks that's what he left 105 00:03:57,150 --> 00:03:59,820 he just loved the business is the 106 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,380 strange how people like different 107 00:03:59,820 --> 00:04:03,840 processors look at all these geniuses 108 00:04:01,380 --> 00:04:05,400 the heads of your college and I think 109 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,560 you'll like this better than politics to 110 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,590 don't like this better is politics look 111 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:13,260 so what happens is he loved the color 112 00:04:10,590 --> 00:04:16,200 business and he founded a company was 113 00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:18,089 called three up and my father would tell 114 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,760 this story he'd laugh it laughs but I've 115 00:04:18,089 --> 00:04:23,039 listened and say I don't laugh it's 116 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,440 election and he found his company three 117 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,330 up and he was very proud but the company 118 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,010 wasn't making it didn't work and he gave 119 00:04:27,330 --> 00:04:31,440 up and it was just don't good and it 120 00:04:29,010 --> 00:04:33,960 went out of business but he never wanted 121 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,050 to quit and he did another one it was 122 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,000 for up and he did five up and he did six 123 00:04:37,050 --> 00:04:41,250 up and they would all fail and he just 124 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,890 kept failing failing failing and finally 125 00:04:41,250 --> 00:04:46,050 he gave up and my father would say if he 126 00:04:43,890 --> 00:04:47,700 only came up and he just worked a little 127 00:04:46,050 --> 00:04:50,130 bit harder just one more he would have 128 00:04:47,700 --> 00:04:53,099 had seven up and he would have been a 129 00:04:50,130 --> 00:04:54,659 tremendous success and I left because I 130 00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,520 think of my father tell me that story 131 00:04:54,660 --> 00:04:58,710 and we viewed differently and what I 132 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,539 viewed it is not as comedy I viewed it 133 00:04:58,710 --> 00:05:03,630 is never ever give up in her just never 134 00:05:00,540 --> 00:05:05,340 give up you can't I view another word 135 00:05:03,630 --> 00:05:08,969 that you never hear when you're talking 136 00:05:05,340 --> 00:05:10,710 about success and that's momentum some 137 00:05:08,970 --> 00:05:12,660 people you have to know you have to know 138 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:15,090 about yourself you have to know about 139 00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:17,040 momentum some people have a great 140 00:05:15,090 --> 00:05:17,940 momentum it's even like me on the 141 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,330 campaign trail 142 00:05:17,940 --> 00:05:23,070 I took off three or four days which is a 143 00:05:21,330 --> 00:05:25,530 lot because I've been going for months 144 00:05:23,070 --> 00:05:27,419 without any lot of people say unlike 145 00:05:25,530 --> 00:05:31,590 jabya very high energy right 146 00:05:27,419 --> 00:05:33,479 true but you know you take three or four 147 00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:36,060 days off and that first day or two back 148 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,380 it's like you know you gotta get going 149 00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:41,010 you gotta get going it's almost like 150 00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:43,740 don't take any time off vacation if you 151 00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:45,599 want vacations you're not really in the 152 00:05:43,740 --> 00:05:46,860 right business and I hardly ever take 153 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,630 time off because i love what I'm doing 154 00:05:46,860 --> 00:05:50,490 whether it's my business or whether it's 155 00:05:48,630 --> 00:05:53,460 now this we're gonna make America great 156 00:05:50,490 --> 00:05:55,530 again and whether it's this no matter 157 00:05:53,460 --> 00:05:57,000 what but the word momentum is a very 158 00:05:55,530 --> 00:05:58,739 important word and you have to 159 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,810 stand it and you have to understand how 160 00:05:58,740 --> 00:06:02,190 to think about momentum and the word you 161 00:06:00,810 --> 00:06:04,560 never hear when you hear about success 162 00:06:02,190 --> 00:06:08,219 but it's so important what happens is 163 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,720 there was a man named William 11 and I 164 00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:12,030 have great respect from he was a great 165 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,370 real estate person and he was a young 166 00:06:12,030 --> 00:06:16,799 man and he built levittown has anyone 167 00:06:14,370

00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,040 different places but massive he was 171 00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:29,520 really the first of the massive builders 172 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:32,490 of homes and he was a young man he did 173 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,440 unbelievably became very very rich and 174 00:06:32,490 --> 00:06:36,900 everything he touched turned to gold and 175 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,760 it was incredible and then what happened 176 00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:40,590 is he was offered a lot of money by gulf 177 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,480 and western it was a big conglomerate to 178 00:06:40,590 --> 00:06:43,890 buy his company and you have to 179 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,419 understand 180 00:06:43,890 --> 00:06:48,450 william levy used to go around looking 181 00:06:45,419 --> 00:06:50,580 for nails looking for sawdust itself or 182 00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:53,070 sawdust he'd saved the nails and use 183 00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:54,690 them again he'd save chips of wood and 184 00:06:53,070 --> 00:06:56,849 use them for different things 185 00:06:54,690 --> 00:06:58,830 everything was perfect he knew how to 186 00:06:56,850 --> 00:07:01,020 get zoning he have lunch with the

00:07:16,590 --> 00:07:21,719 and they offered him a lot of money more 196 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:25,169 money than he ever thought possible 197 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,890 any took it and he said

00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:20,630 anyone bankrupt at a business totally 250 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:25,040 bankrupt the biggest he went bankrupt 251 00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:27,860 and by this time he was an old guy and I 252 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,630 was at a party and I was the new hot guy 253 00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:31,550 in New York I was doing great with real 254 00:09:29,630 --> 00:09:33,649 estate and I was on the covers of 255 00:09:31,550 --> 00:09:36,079 Business Week magazine and fortune 256 00:09:33,649 --> 00:09:37,699 magazine i was doing really well and it 257 00:09:36,079 --> 00:09:38,779 was a man named steve ross a lot of you 258 00:09:37,699 --> 00:09:41,329 folks would know from warner 259 00:09:38,779 --> 00:09:43,070 communications and he was a hot guy and 260 00:09:41,329 --> 00:09:45,349 entertainment he built time warner and 261 00:09:43,070 --> 00:09:47,000 is a great guy passed away from from 262 00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:48,829 cancer unfortunately but he was an 263 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,910 amazing guy one of the great people in 264 00:09:48,829 --> 00:09:52,160 the history of the entertainment 265 00:09:49,910 --> 00:09:54,800 business and he was giving the cocktail 266 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:58,069 party had 50 people on his fifth avenue 267 00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:02,300 apartment and I walk into the apartment 268 00:09:58,069 --> 00:10:03,949 i was invited and IC 50 people and most 269 00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:07,490 of her in the entertainment business and 270 00:10:03,949 --> 00:10:10,130 I saw one person pretty old guy and he 271 00:10:07,490 --> 00:10:13,100 was sitting in the corner and his name 272 00:10:10,130 --> 00:10:14,839 was William 11 and i went over to 273 00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:15,800 because I was attracted to him because 274 00:10:14,839 --> 00:10:16,940 he was in my bed 275 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,370 since i didn't care about the 276 00:10:16,940 --> 00:10:22,399 entertainment people I care about him 277 00:10:19,370 --> 00:10:24,860 and I said mr. Levin how are you doing 278 00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:26,720 Donald Trump he said yes I know he said 279 00:10:24,860 --> 00:10:29,810 I'm not doing well i'm not doing well at 280 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,490 all i said i read that and it's too bad 281 00:10:29,810 --> 00:10:33,229 what went wrong and I'll never forget 282 00:10:31,490 --> 00:10:38,810 the expression of the statement he said 283 00:10:33,230 --> 00:10:40,640 Donald I totally lost my momentum so the 284 00:10:38,810 --> 00:10:43,609 thing you probably never heard he lost 285 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,560 his momentum he took that time off he 286 00:10:43,610 --> 00:10:49,250 came back and it was a different world 287 00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:51,739 and he lost his momentum now the real 288 00:10:49,250 --> 00:10:53,630 lesson there is you have to know if 289 00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:56,120 you've lost your momentum so that you 290 00:10:53,630 --> 00:10:58,160 don't get hurt and it's just something 291 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,200 that I talked about because it's so 292 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,100 different and I watched him sitting in 293 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,240 this corner 294 00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:04,250 I don't even know why he was there 295 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,709 because he was no longer successful but 296 00:11:04,250 --> 00:11:08,480 I guess Steve knew him and respected him 297 00:11:06,709 --> 00:11:10,130 for what he had accomplished because 298 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,620 what he had accomplished was amazing he 299 00:11:10,130 --> 00:11:15,290 was the forerunner to so many massive 300 00:11:12,620 --> 00:11:17,810 developments if you see all over but he 301 00:11:15,290 --> 00:11:18,800 said I lost my momentum Donald I lost my 302 00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:21,739 momentum 303 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:24,829 I've never ever forgotten those words 304 00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:26,660 and I've always remembered them and what 305 00:11:24,829 --> 00:11:28,550 you want to do is you want to keep going 306 00:11:26,660 --> 00:11:31,520 keep going keep going but if you think 307 00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:33,709 you lost your momentum slow down and we 308 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,829 focus on maybe something else because 309 00:11:33,709 --> 00:11:38,029 it's so important to keep the momentum 310 00:11:36,829 --> 00:11:40,729 going 311 00:11:38,029 --> 00:11:44,779 ok so important so that's one of the 312 00:11:40,730 --> 00:11:46,850 many many elements are stories and one 313 00:11:44,779 --> 00:11:49,130 quick one that we also talked about and 314 00:11:46,850 --> 00:11:51,200 that I talked about there's a certain 315 00:11:49,130 --> 00:11:53,149 amount of luck 316 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,829 does anybody believe in luck to still 317 00:11:53,149 --> 00:11:58,160 raise your hand who believes that some 318 00:11:54,829 --> 00:12:00,589 people are luckier than out this way so 319 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:04,760 i have a friend who's just an unlucky 320 00:12:00,589 --> 00:12:05,930 guy just an unlucky guy he's smart he 321 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,930 went to the Wharton School of Finance 322 00:12:05,930 --> 00:12:12,079 he's a very actually is a brilliant guy 323 00:12:08,930 --> 00:12:13,910 but he's always been unlucky and no 324 00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:17,899 matter what happens it just works that 325 00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:19,219 way and he never really succeeded and 326 00:12:17,899 --> 00:12:21,589 you'll find when you become very 327 00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:23,120 successful the people that you will like 328 00:12:21,589 --> 00:12:24,470 best other people that are less 329 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,510 successful that you 330 00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:27,920 because when you go to a table you can 331 00:12:26,510 --> 00:12:29,180 tell them all these wonderful stories 332 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,110 that they'll sit back and listen does 333 00:12:29,180 --> 00:12:32,719 that make sense to you 334 00:12:30,110 --> 00:12:34,580 ok always be around unsuccessful people 335 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,850 because everybody will respect you 336 00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:40,520 George there that anyway but this guy he 337 00:12:37,850 --> 00:12:43,520 had a thing and and he just would be he 338 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,860 was just like struck he was unlucky and 339 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,800 no matter what he did he always he was I 340 00:12:45,860 --> 00:12:52,880 call him injury bound or he was just 341 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,990 always something would happen so he'd be 342 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,840 injured 343 00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:58,040 I said what happened i broke my shoulder 344 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,250 how did you break your shoulder your 345 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:03,410 football
