1
Some of the richest people on the planet didn't just get lucky.
2
They followed rules most people ignore.
3
Let me tell you a secret.
4
And they started before they felt ready.
5
You just have to get started.
6
They stayed curious when others got comfortable.
7
I was just the most curious person you could ever imagine.
8
Paid attention to opportunities most people miss.
9
You have to pay attention to your life because it is speaking to you all the time.
10
And kept going long after everyone else quit.
11
It was cheaper than an apartment,
12
so we actually just slept in the office and then showered at the YMCA at Pagmila El Camino.
13
From billionaires who stayed inside their circle of competence...
14
Tom Watson Sr., who built IBM,
15
said, I'm no genius, but I'm smarter in spots and I stay around those spots.
16
Well, he was talking about a circle of competence.
17
To leaders who failed, learned, and came back stronger...
18
Tillman Fertitta's made so many mistakes,
19
I couldn't even start to name him.
20
But you learn from your mistakes.
21
Today you're about to learn the top 10 rules for success from the world's richest people.
22
If you want to think smarter,
23
move faster, and build real wealth,
24
this video is for you.
25
Need motivation?
26
Watch a top 10 with Believe Nation.
27
If you've been here before,
28
drop a hashtag believe in the comments below so I can feature you here in a future video.
29
And if you're new, welcome to Believe Nation,
30
the only channel that helps you believe in yourself daily,
31
one video at a time.
32
Okay, let's kick it off with rule number one.
33
Be persistent with Elon Musk.
34
When I started the first internet company Zip2 with my brother and another person,
35
Greg Curry, it wasn't really with the thought of being wealthy.
36
I've got nothing against being wealthy, but...
37
We'll get back to that later, too.
38
But it was just from the standpoint of wanting to be part of the internet.
39
And I figured if we could make enough money to just get by,
40
that would be okay.
41
And we started off, we literally only had like one computer
42
and so it would be our web server during the day and I'd code at night.
43
And we just got a small office in Palo Alto back when rent was not insane.
44
And it cost us like $450 a month.
45
It was cheaper than an apartment so we actually just slept in the office
46
and then showered at the YMCA at Pagemal El Camino.
47
So we would walk over there and shower.
48
And that was actually, I think that was when I first met you, by the way.
49
And so I don't know how many people,
50
probably not many people know this,
51
but we actually pitched Steve in like January 96 on the Zip2 business plan.
52
And actually, Steve was actually one of the most up to speed on what actually was in our business plan.
53
Most of the people we met did not actually read our business plan.
54
In fact, a lot of venture capitalists we met at the time didn't even know what the internet was.
55
They'd never used it.
56
I'm not sure if we still do.
57
Yeah, right.
58
Yeah, I'm talking like, you know,
59
sort of well-known people on Sand Hill.
60
It was like, wow, okay.
61
But at the time, nobody had made any money on the internet.
62
So I guess that's, you know,
63
it wasn't really clear evidence that there was a business.
64
Rule number two, love the work you do with Bill Gates.
65
I think for Microsoft to be successful,
66
even though we were the first,
67
and we had a broader concept of software than the other companies,
68
we needed to be what I would call hardcore.
69
And in that case, the work is what I want to do.
70
It's not like, oh God,
71
I've got to earn a little bit more money.
72
It's this is the thing that throughout my childhood,
73
I was so lucky because of my parents and some early friends,
74
school I went to.
75
I had these exposures to computers that were very rare.
76
And so I had all these thousands of hours of programming experience and great feedback on,
77
okay, how do you do it better from the very best adults?
78
I got to see what was coming.
79
And the idea of being part of making that real,
80
I woke up and said,
81
okay, I'd love to get to work.
82
My younger self could stay in,
83
you know, days at a time.
84
I don't do that now.
85
But then it was just in no way a hardship,
86
you know, because I, you know,
87
felt we were part of something that would be very empowering.
88
And, you know, competitively, I wanted us to be the ones to make it happen.
89
Rule number three, define your circle of competence with Warren Buffett.
90
The circle of competence is the area in which certain kinds of industries,
91
for example, I can understand the future economics of other kinds of industries.
92
I can't.
93
And I have to know where the perimeter of that circle is.
94
Now, over the years, I may be able to enlarge the circle somewhat,
95
but the circle never gets to be all-encompassing.
96
And Tom Watson, Sr., who built IBM,
97
said, I'm no genius, but I'm smart in spots and I stay around those spots.
98
Well, he was talking about a circle of competence.
99
And I see all All of my partner Charlie says,
100
it's wonderful to have an IQ of 180 as long as you don't think it's 200.
101
And I have seen all kinds of very,
102
very smart people self-destruct one way or another in business or particularly in the stock market.
103
And they stray outside of their circle of competence just because they know they're very, very smart.
104
But that doesn't mean they know everything.
105
And defining what your game is,
106
where you're going to have an edge, is enormously important.
107
I think both my partner Charlie and I have gotten reasonably good at that over the years.
108
Rule number four is get started with Mark Zuckerberg.
109
Let me tell you a secret.
110
Ideas don't come out fully formed.
111
They only become clear as you work on them.
112
You just have to get started.
113
If I had to know everything about connecting people before I got started,
114
I never would have built Facebook.
115
I remember that night I launched Facebook from that little dorm in Kirkland House.
116
I went to Noakes with my friend KX,
117
and I remember telling him clearly that I was excited to help connect the Harvard community,
118
but one day someone would connect the whole world.
119
The thing is, it never even occurred to me that that someone might be us.
120
This idea was so clear to us that all people want to connect.
121
So we just kept working on it day after day after day.
122
And I know that a lot of you are gonna have your own stories just like this.
123
Also, if you wanna take real action after this video,
124
I made a free worksheet just for you.
125
It covers the top lessons from today,
126
gives you space to write your biggest takeaways and helps you build a simple action plan.
127
It's 100% free.
128
Just click the link in the description below to go grab it see you there.
129
Rule number five, be curious with Mark Cuban.
130
What do you think it was inside you?
131
Did you get it from your parents?
132
Did you get it from your community?
133
What was it that helped Mark realize that there were gaps in every market?
134
Because you were selling stuff when you were a kid.
135
How do you see those gaps?
136
I mean, I was just the most curious person you could ever imagine.
137
I mean, I just loved to learn.
138
I was that kid that was just reading everything I could get my hands on about business.
139
And if you read enough,
140
you're going to learn something to your advantage.
141
Wait, wait, wait, go back, go back.
142
You said you were reading about business as a kid?
143
Oh, yeah.
144
Like I was 10, 11,
145
12, you know, you name it.
146
I was reading.
147
This is the difference.
148
Yeah.
149
Business books all the time.
150
You know, there was this kid,
151
Barry Minkow, and he started this this carpet cleaning company,
152
ZZZ Best Carpet Cleaning.
153
Right.
154
And he took a company public when he was 21 years old and there was a book written about him.
155
But the thing about it was it was completely a fraud.
156
And so he made all these tens of millions,
157
if not a hundred million dollars as a 21 year old kid running this company,
158
just fooling everybody and anybody he talked to.
159
And I read that book as a kid.
160
And I was thinking, you know,
161
if this kid can fool all these adults,
162
put aside the fraud, that just means there's lots of opportunity there to do something
163
and build a business and how old you are.
164
Doesn't mean it doesn't mean anything, right.
165
If you can, if you can figure it out.
166
And so I just always just took that and said,
167
you know, I just keep on learning from what other people do
168
and learn from their mistakes and learn what they do right.
169
Get a job, learn from,
170
you know, I would tell myself,
171
you know, you pay to go to college,
172
but then after you get a job,
173
you get paid to learn.
174
And I always, that's the way I looked at the jobs that I got,
175
the way I look at the jobs I got fired from,
176
you know, everything was a learning experience.
177
And sooner or later, it added up to something of value.
178
Rule number six, pay attention to life with Oprah Winfrey.
179
You have to pay attention to your life because it is speaking to you all the time.
180
And the bumps in the road and the failures
181
that pointed me in a new direction and led me to a path made clear.
182
That is what I'm wishing for you today,
183
your own path made clear.
184
And I know that there is a lot of anxiety,
185
a lot about what the future holds and how much money you're going to make.
186
but your anxiety does not contribute one iota to your progress
187
i'm here to tell you it does the opposite look at how many times you worried
188
and you were upset
189
and you didn't think you were going to make it through the block i got
190
that text a couple months ago and here you are today you made it
191
and i'm here to tell you that you're going to be more than okay.
192
So take a deep breath with me right now.
193
And repeat this.
194
Everything is always working out for me.
195
I want to hear it.
196
Everything is always working out for me.
197
That's my mantra.
198
Make it yours.
199
everything is always working out for me because it is
200
and it has and it will continue to be as you forge and discover your own path.
201
Rule number seven is follow your passion with Jeff Bezos.
202
You don't choose your passions your passions choose you
203
and I fell in love with space and rockets
204
when I was a five-year-old boy and watched Neil Armstrong step onto the surface of the moon.
205
And I have been passionate about it ever since.
206
And there's a very real sense in which Amazon,
207
which is an amazing, fun,
208
interesting company to have started and lead is a lottery winning for me.
209
And so I'm taking those lottery winnings and investing them in Blue Origin.
210
And I've been working on that for 15 years.
211
Our motto is gradatum ferociter,
212
which means step by step ferociously.
213
I like to do these things very incrementally.
214
We have, there's a military phrase that I especially love and it says slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
215
And I have seen that in every endeavor I've ever been in.
216
That's the kind of thing that really allows you to make progress.
217
If you do everything in the right sequence, never skip any steps.
218
And so we have been working in that vein for a long time and stuff is coming out the pipeline.
219
And I can tell you it's incredibly gratifying.
220
We have now more than a thousand person team at Blue Origin.
221
And that team is incredibly talented and they're doing a great job.
222
My vision for Blue Origin,
223
the long-term vision, is millions of people living and working in space.
224
We need a spacefaring civilization for a whole bunch of reasons,
225
and that's the vision.
226
Gwyneth Wright, learn from your mistakes with Tillman Fertitta.
227
Tillman Fertitta's made so many mistakes,
228
I couldn't even start to name them.
229
Give me one.
230
I mean, I've over-negotiated deals and lost them.
231
What does that mean, over-negotiated?
232
You know, you try to cut too good of a deal and somebody gets up and walks away,
233
and you can't get them back in the room.
234
Or, you know, you just made a bad deal.
235
You know, you just made a bad deal.
236
And I've made plenty of bad deals.
237
I've just always made sure I've made a lot more good deals.
238
But you learn from your mistakes.
239
And I tell people every day,
240
the day you say that there's not a paddle for everybody who's behind is the day you're gonna be in trouble.
241
And every day I come to work knowing that I better protect myself from that paddle coming down the aisle.
242
You refer to the paddle in the book.
243
What's the worst paddling you've gotten in business?
244
Can you talk about it?
245
Yeah, absolutely.
246
In the crisis of 08 and 09,
247
I happened to have around a billion dollars in debt coming due.
248
And that is when they were talking about the bank shutting down and it was a wall time all time.
249
And we got it done,
250
but it was not easy.
251
We were the only person even on a road show right then raising debt.
252
It was so tough.
253
And then I go back to the early 80s
254
or the mid 80s when you had the crisis in Texas where every S&L went under and every bank went under.
255
And it's really when I was starting my career.
256
And I lasted before all the banks and got a reprieve from them.
257
I talk about that in the book.
258
For several years.
259
For several years.
260
With no interest.
261
and you didn't have to make a payment or anything.
262
How about that luck that I outlasted the banks?
263
I read that and I said,
264
this guy's got a lucky charm.
265
Number nine, follow your own path.
266
Larry Ellison.
267
My parents and my teachers had all planned for me to go to medical school.
268
So for a long time,
269
I had been preparing to go to medical school
270
and was on the brink of doing just that when I let my parents know,
271
in fact, I wasn't gonna do that.
272
I was gonna take this car trip out to Silicon Valley and try my hand at engineering rather than medicine.
273
And it's interesting, it was after the subject of a commencement speech I gave and where my parents were so upset,
274
my family was so upset,
275
my teachers were so upset that they didn't talk to me for a few years.
276
But eventually, they forget me.
277
But lo and behold, I wish they were still here today to see come full circle as we're now using technology,
278
the technology that I worked on for most of my life,
279
to make the health quality of healthcare dramatically improve the quality of of health court care.
280
And number 10, the last one before a very special bonus clip,
281
is Think Outside the Box with Jensen Huang.
282
I heard from someone that there were pro,
283
that you could, there was never a problem you couldn't fix.
284
Do you think that's true?
285
Or was there a problem that you couldn't fix?
286
There's some problems you can't fix.
287
I don't recall one.
288
And the reason for that is because,
289
either you find a solution for it or you change the problem so that you can find a solution for it.
290
And I think in a lot of ways,
291
some people call that thinking out of the box.
292
If you can't solve something,
293
either sometimes it's not meant to be solved,
294
or you can change the problem in a way that is solvable.
295
Now there's some problems that if you try to solve it in the most literal sense,
296
it would take a long time to solve.
297
It might take a lot of money to solve.
298
It might take an enormous amount of cost,
299
you know, in time or resource or whatever it is, or materials.
300
But if you change the problem and you truly understand what is the person really trying to ask?
301
You know, what is at the core of that problem?
302
Maybe you can express that problem in a slightly different way.
303
And as a result, it becomes solvable and a solution can be found.
304
Maybe you can simplify the problem.
305
Maybe you can break the problem down into 10 pieces and that you would solve it over time.
306
And there's a lot of different ways to look at the problem.
307
And smart thinking about a problem is really at the beginning of engineering.
308
It's asking the question, what is this problem really about?
309
You know, what is this problem really about?
310
And oftentimes, by asking that question,
311
what is this problem really about?
312
You know, what are they really asking?
313
What are we really looking for?
314
How can I express this problem in different ways?
315
You know, when you think about it that way,
316
all of a sudden, the number of solutions really, really expand.
317
Who are a few of the people that you study,
318
you feel you learn from,
319
or that influence your thinking about how you built your business?
320
You know, when I was a kid,
321
you would read about entrepreneurs that were starting companies.
322
Charles Schwab or Fred Smith,
323
certainly Sam Walton, some of the early telecom pioneers,
324
people that were doing it right then, like in the 70s.
325
And those stories were just super interesting to me.
326
And I grew up in Houston,
327
which was kind of a boomtown.
328
You'd see these new companies being created and parents were talking about that.
329
And so those stories were always just interesting and compelling.
330
And you want to understand,
331
well, how did they do that?
332
And why did they do that?
333
And, you know, what happened?
334
And, you know, I never imagined myself doing anything else other than starting a business.
335
Yeah, the idea just was in my consciousness from a very early age.
336
This great line that Jeff Bezos says,
337
where he's like, we don't choose our passions, our passions choose us.
338
I think there's multiple, my notes to myself on the margins,
339
like, oh, he's compelled.
340
It's like, this is coming through him.
341
He's like, he has no choice.
342
This isn't going to happen.
343
But is there anybody in particular that you really honed in on and admired and tried to emulate in some way?
344
I always think you can learn from just about anybody,
345
whether they succeeded or failed.
346
And so I tried to just understand as many people as I could that were entrepreneurs,
347
that were starting businesses, how did they struggle,
348
what worked, what didn't work.
349
And those were always the compelling and interesting stories.
350
And congratulations, you're one video closer to who you're meant to be.
351
For 10 more rules for success from the world's richest people,
352
check the video right there next to me.
353
I think you'll love it.
354
Continue to believe and I'll see you there.
355
Some of the richest people on the planet didn't just get lucky.
356
They built ideas that changed industries.
357
Ideas matter.
358
Took risks most people were afraid to take.
359
The risk for me was if it didn't work.

なぜこのビデオで話す練習をするのか？
世界で最も裕福な人々の成功の秘訣を学ぶこのビデオは、英語を学ぶ皆さんにとって非常に有益です。特に、成功に至る過程での思考法や行動パターンを言語の観点から理解することができます。英語の発音を良くするためには、実際に使われる文脈での練習が不可欠です。このビデオを通して、実際の会話に近い形で発音や表現を練習することができ、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立ちます。聞き取った内容を自分の言葉で再現することで、shadow speakやshadowspeaksを活用したスピーキング力の向上を図ることができるでしょう。
文法と文脈における表現
このビデオではいくつかの重要な構造が使われています。以下に3つのキーストラクチャーを紹介します。
- 「Get started」: 何かを始めることの重要性を示すフレーズ。行動を起こすことが成功への第一歩です。
- 「Pay attention to」: 特定のことに注意を払うという意味。機会やチャンスを見逃さないようにすることが大切です。
- 「Learn from mistakes」: ミスから学ぶことの重要性。失敗は成功へのステップであることを示しています。
これらの表現を使うことで、話の流れをスムーズにすることができるため、実際の会話でも活かすことができます。
一般的な発音のトラップ
このビデオに出てくるいくつかの単語やフレーズは、発音が難しい場合があります。特に注意すべき点は以下の通りです：
- 「Persistent」: 「パーシステント」と強調して発音することが求められます。この単語は、粘り強さや持続性を示します。
- 「Entrepreneur」: この言葉は「アントレプレナー」と発音しがちですが、実際には「オンタレプルネール」と流暢に発音することが求められます。
- 「Competence」: 「コンピテンス」となりますが、「コンピテンツ」と話すと英語のアクセントがより自然になります。
これらの単語を正しく発音し、自信を持って使うことで、全体のコミュニケーション能力が向上するでしょう。英語の学習者は、これらの発音トラップを克服するためにshadow speechを活用することをお勧めします。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
