1
What I wanted to do is let you in under the kimono a little bit and share,
2
you know, a number of the lessons
3
that have been of service to me as I've walked through the journey of my life so far.
4
And, you know, I must confess to you, I am no guru.
5
In my book, The Greatness Guide,
6
one of the first things I said,
7
I think it was the first chapter,
8
which is, I'm no guru.
9
I'm a work in progress.
10
I am not the ideal,
11
but I have a lot of ideals.
12
I am far from perfect,
13
but my dream and my hope is that by the end of my life,
14
and I hope I get to live a long life,
15
I live so many of the ideals that I aspire to.
16
And I think that's the part of being human,
17
you know, we have these ideals and every single day when we fall we get back up.
18
When we get a little off course,
19
we have the opportunity to get back on course.
20
I was, remember summers ago,
21
I was flying from Zimbabwe to White River, South Africa.
22
And we were in a little plane
23
and the pilot allowed me to fly the plane and it was really a fascinating experience because,
24
you know, behind the controls there was this needle, this dial.
25
And he said just make sure the needle stays at the center of the dial and we're gonna be absolutely fine.
26
And so literally there was the winds
27
and the the forces taking this little plane off
28
and all I had to do was sort of turn the I don't know
29
if you call it a steering wheel
30
but the controls back to bring the needle front and center so he stayed on course.
31
And we get off course and on course.
32
And isn't life like that?
33
Every single day we get taken off course.
34
You know, we get busy versus focused.
35
We want to do the run or we want to do the workout,
36
but there's a seduction by some kind of a distraction.
37
We have an ideal of being world class in our work,
38
but there's an attraction to sort of taking a little shortcut.
39
And so literally every single day is an opportunity to get back on course with that needle of your world class ideals.
40
So I wanted to offer you some ideas that have really served me well because I'm just like you.
41
I'm trying to aspire to the top of the mountain over the course of the rest of my life.
42
And the first idea that life has really taught me is really this, small wins matter.
43
I mean, we sometimes think that an epic life occurs one Sunday,
44
Sunday, Friday afternoon when the stars line up and something revolutionary occurs.
45
What I'm suggesting to you with great love and great respect is a great life is built not by revolution.
46
A great life is built by evolution.
47
Small and steady wins the race.
48
What you do every day is far more important than what you do once every decade.
49
I want you to really think about that idea.
50
What you do every day is simply your life in miniature.
51
And as you live every single day,
52
so you're crafting your life.
53
What you do over the next hours is really building your future.
54
And if you can just get,
55
and I can just get every single pocket of 24 hours right as best as we humanly can,
56
the rest of our life is going to take care of itself.
57
So small wins matter.
58
The moment in front of the customer where the pull was to go average
59
and you become merchant of wow sets you up for the next day of a way of being of wow.
60
The little win with your family when you feel like watching TV sets you up for another win the next day.
61
A little win of getting up at 5 o'clock
62
and running your morning routine sets you up for a habit of a 5 a.m club morning routine.
63
Small daily improvements over time will lead you to stunning results.
64
Many wins are the way to greatness.
65
And that's one of the things life has taught me.
66
When you look at the great companies,
67
whether it's an Amazon, whether it's some of the tech startups coming out right now,
68
whether it's a Zappos, whether it's a FedEx,
69
whether it's a Nike, whether it's a General Electric,
70
whether it's some of the little shops in your neighborhood
71
that we really admire because people still cook the food with love
72
or they serve the food with love or people having attention to detail.
73
Great companies are built by those small steady optimizations every single day.
74
If you look at any great product,
75
it wasn't just one day that built the great product.
76
It was a culture and a mindset of daily innovation and optimization when done consistently over time which led to world class.
77
Even relationships.
78
A great relationship.
79
It's all about those small daily wins when done consistently leads to a lifetime of love.
80
I was walking in the woods last week and there was an elderly couple walking in front of me.
81
And they really stood out because they were moving fast.
82
And they were also like,
83
they had these ski poles.
84
And so, this is the autumn in my hometown and they were walking with these ski poles.
85
And so I sort of joked as I walked by them
86
because it was pretty much only the three of us in this deep forest.
87
And I said, you're missing the snow.
88
And then I sort of laughed and we actually walked for about half an hour.
89
And we started going pretty deep.
90
And they said to me,
91
you know, we've been married 52 years.
92
And I said, 52 years, what's your secret?
93
And the woman says, well,
94
I've had to put up with a lot, which made me laugh.
95
And then it was all about the little,
96
small, daily things they did to foster a lifetime of love.
97
And that's my metaphor for you on rule number one.
98
Rule number two, nothing fails like success.
99
You're successful, maybe it's in your health,
100
maybe it's in your finances,
101
maybe it's in your career,
102
maybe it's in your family life,
103
maybe it's in the way that you show up in the world.
104
Awesome!
105
You're in a really vulnerable place right now.
106
It is one thing to be successful,
107
it is another thing to sustain success over the coming decades.
108
Is that not a powerful idea?
109
I mean, let's go to the entertainment industry.
110
It's very hard to be a one-hit wonder.
111
Let's not knock a one-hit wonder.
112
But it's even harder to become an iconic rock band or hip-hop band.
113
Let's go to the arts.
114
It is very hard to come up with your Sistine Chapel.
115
Got it.
116
It is even harder to become a Michelangelo.
117
So are you playing the short game or are you playing the long game?
118
This is rule number two,
119
or lesson number two that life has taught me.
120
Play the long game.
121
Aim for legendary.
122
Don't just say, I want to be world class in my dominant pursuit for a little window of time.
123
Say, I want to have the guts and the grit
124
and the acumen and the mindset and the capability and the commitment to create enduring success.
125
And that's why I say nothing fails like success.
126
look at the restaurant that is hot in your neighborhood right now,
127
they're on the path to obsolescence if they're not really careful.
128
Sure, they went from a little neighborhood shop that made beautiful pasta,
129
that had great service, that had the owner on the floor,
130
shaking your hand, getting to know your name.
131
Then they got written up in the magazines,
132
and then they got interviewed,
133
and then word of mouth spread like wildfire, and what happened?
134
They became arrogant.
135
You see, success can be so toxic.
136
And it happens, it is such a pull on every human being.
137
It just plays with your mind.
138
And you literally shift from humility to arrogance.
139
You shift from humility to arrogance and once the arrogance sets in,
140
in a mindset, it starts to populate every other person on the team,
141
every other person in the culture,
142
every other person in the community.
143
And it is a very short fall from success to irrelevance.
144
So lesson number two is nothing fails like success.
145
As you become more successful, become more humble.
146
As you become more successful, work even harder.
147
As you become more successful,
148
care even more about your product.
149
As you become more successful, learn even more.
150
I invite you, when you are the titan of your industry,
151
be sitting in the room with 18 year olds beginning their game.
152
When you are the icon of your field,
153
be the person who is up,
154
not at 5 o'clock anymore,
155
let's play at 4 o'clock,
156
reading, listening to the podcast,
157
writing in your journals, setting your goals, focusing on your intention.
158
As you become more successful, be more humble.
159
As you become more successful, be even more punctual.
160
As you become more successful, become even more passionate.
161
As you become older, become even younger.
162
Yesterday I was walking on the street and I met this man in his 80s.
163
He said, Robin, I finally retired.
164
He's probably close to 90.
165
And he is a legendary clothier in the country that I live in.
166
And he just retired.
167
And he started his shop,
168
which is now an empire, in 1954.
169
So I don't know what that is,
170
but that is decades and decades and decades and decades.
171
And he did not want to retire.
172
He just retired, but he is still on fire to do amazing things.
173
Age is just a number.
174
Do not let an old person into your body.
175
Nothing fails like success.
176
Number three, life has taught me no ask, no get.
177
There is huge power in asking for what You see,
178
a lot of times we can have what we want,
179
we just don't ask for it so the world around us doesn't know what we want.
180
And if the world doesn't know what you want,
181
how can the world deliver what you want?
182
In your personal relationships, we're not mind readers.
183
If you don't tell your partner what you want,
184
then your partner doesn't know what you want so you can't get what you want.
185
If you don't set your goals,
186
then you cannot get those goals because your brain doesn't know what you want.
187
In your business, if you don't speak up and ask your client what you want,
188
if you don't, I mean,
189
you talk to any great salesperson,
190
they say you need to ask for what you want.
191
Ask for the order.
192
And if you don't, you don't get the order.
193
But the fundamental mindset I'm trying to invite you to play with is ask, ask, ask, ask.
194
I share it with my children all the time.
195
No ask, no get.
196
And if you ask and you don't get, at least you learn.
197
It's not really a failure.
198
The only failure is not trying.
199
The fourth thing that life has taught me and it's a big lesson is prosperity is really a reflection.
200
I want to get this right.
201
Prosperity is really a reflection of value delivery.
202
If you want to make millions, serve millions.
203
You want to make billions, help billions.
204
And so the marketplace really rewards the value you produce.
205
And Jim Rohn talked a lot about that,
206
the great personal development expert,
207
and a lot of other people talked about that.
208
And yet it's so easy to forget.
209
In my mindset, my attitude is really when I wake up in the morning,
210
one of my favorite mantras to meditate on is how may a most be of service to as many people as possible.
211
My obsession, I call it the 10x value obsession,
212
my obsession in our businesses is to give our customers 10 times the value
213
that they have any right to expect so that every product,
214
every event, every book is considered free.
215
But my point to you is simply this,
216
do you have a mindset of someone who is just producing epic amounts of value and just pouring it into the marketplace?
217
And if you do, you're going to start developing fanatical followers.
218
I mean,
219
why under Steve Jobs would people line up two days before at 3 in the morning to get the new product?
220
It was because he produced such outrageous amounts of value in the user experience of each product that the people,
221
it became a cult.
222
The cult of Apple.
223
So, the point is simply this,
224
you want more money, help more people.
225
Bottom line.
226
Number, law, whatever law is next is,
227
and it's a big one,
228
and life has taught me this,
229
which is, those who don't make time for exercise must eventually make time for illness.
230
Exercise really is a game changer.
231
I mean when you get up at 5 o'clock in the morning and spend those first 20 minutes in intense exercise,
232
you sweat, you release BDNF which is miracle grow for your brain.
233
Your brain just lights up.
234
You release dopamine so you start feeling inspired.
235
You increase your metabolic rate.
236
You start to feel absolutely phenomenal.
237
So there's one tradition that once said
238
when we are young we would sacrifice all of our health for wealth and when we get old,
239
we would sacrifice all of our wealth for one day of good health.
240
And health really is the crown on the well person's head that only the ill person can see.
241
And my invitation to you,
242
and it's a lesson that I've learned from life,
243
is few things are as valuable as getting into the finest fitness of your life.
244
That is a decision that changes every other element of your life.
245
You want to be fit like a pro athlete.
246
You want to wake up in the morning,
247
you want to do the run,
248
do the yoga, do the swim,
249
do the burpees, Do the jumping jacks,
250
do the skipping, and it will change every other dimension of your life.
251
What else has life taught me?
252
It's taught me that failure is the price of greatness.
253
I love the Teddy Roosevelt quote, man in the arena.
254
And to paraphrase it is,
255
you know, respect belongs not to the critic,
256
not to the person in the bleachers, not to the audience.
257
and admiration belongs to the person in the arena who has the dream,
258
who has the vision, who rolls up her sleeves and has the guts to get the vision done.
259
Anyone can be a critic and here's what I've realized,
260
critics generally criticize the work they most wish they did.
261
And my invitation to you is simply remember a lesson life has taught me,
262
which is failure is the price of greatness.
263
Adversity is the price of ambition.
264
And I would rather get to the end of my life bloodied
265
and marred and scarred and say I didn't spend the best years of my life chit-chatting around the water cooler.
266
I didn't spend the best hours of my best days condemning and criticizing and being a naysayer.
267
I spent the best years of my life gloriously standing in the fire of ideals,
268
my goals, and trying to get what my heart's desires said I should do done.
269
though I fell and I was bloodied and I was laughed at and I was criticized,
270
sometimes hated and people tried to tear me down,
271
that to me is what life is all about.
272
And I think I should probably end on that invitation to you.
273
Get your dreams done because the world will be a better place because you are in it.
274
And that is my prayer for the rest of your life.
275
Thank you.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
