Becoming a Person of Influence - John C Maxwell

PAIN & SUCCESS Ft. Eric Thomas & Les Brown - GYM Motivation - Mind Innovation

What would you say to a person who told you that you could retire at age 30, never have to work again, and still live a comfortable life, all on a normal salary and without winning the lottery?

You’d probably call them crazy. Of course that’s not how money works.

Well, my guest today did retire at age 30, and he did so without making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. And through his blog, he’s helped other people reach “financial independence” a lot sooner than they thought possible by living a life of “financial badassery.” His name is Pete and he’s the owner of the website Mr. Money Mustache. In today’s podcast, Pete and I discuss how living Teddy Roosevelt’s “Strenuous Life” can help you become financially independent.

Lewis Howes had aspirations of being a pro football player, and he was on the path to making it happen for himself. After a career-ending injury, and year spent on his sister's couch, he started an online business which became a big success. Since then, he's started a podcast called The School of Greatness, in which he interviews people about what it means to live a flourishing life. He has a new book by the same name, and on today's show Lewis and I talk about how to live the good life.

The Great Dictator Speech - Music by Hans Zimmer (Inception)
Hope
I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an Emperor, that's not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man and white.
We all want to help one another, human beings are like that. We all want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want, our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little
More than machinery we need humanity, more than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness; without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together, the very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. 
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world; millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
To those who can hear me I say "Do not despair".
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people, will return to the people and so long as men die liberty will never perish.
Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, what to feel!
Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men!
Machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men!
You have the love of humanity in your hearts, you don't hate, only the unloved hate. The unloved and the unnatural.
Soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty!
In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written: "The kingdom of God is within man". Not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men; in you!
You, the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You, the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure, then in the name of democracy let's use that power, let us all unite! 
Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future and old age and security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They do not fulfil their promise, they never will.
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people.
Now let us fight to fulfill that promise, let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.
Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.
Soldiers! In the name of democracy, let us all unite!
