Inspirational - how Great I Am

This kid's going to be the best kid in the world. This kid's going to be somebody better than anybody ever knew. I'm going to show you how great I am. Never let somebody tell you, you can't do something. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you, you can't do it. You want something, go get it. Period. Great moments, and that's what you have here tonight. That's what you've earned here tonight. That's right, I have brousled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale, I done handcuffed lightning, throw thunder in jail. That's bad. Only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick. I'm so mean, I make medicine sick. Bad dude. Bad, fast, fast, fast. Last night I cut the light off my bedroom, hit the switch that was in the bed before the room was dark. Infinite. Fast. Infinite. And you, George Foreman, all you chumps are gonna bow when I whoop him. All of you, I know you got him, I know you got him big, but the man's in trouble. I'm gonna show you how great I am. Inch by inch, play by play, till we're finished. We're in hell right now. Believe me. And, we can stay here, get the kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of hell. One inch at a time. And for a long time now, you've been hearing me talk about being perfect. Well, I want you to understand something. To me, being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship to yourself and your family and your friends. Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down because you told them the truth. And that truth is, is that you did everything that you could. There wasn't one more thing that you could have done. Can you live in that moment as best you can with clear eyes and love in your heart, with joy in your heart? If you can do that, gentlemen, then you're perfect. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life, but it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth, but you gotta be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers, saying you ain't where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that, and that ain't you. You're better than that. I'm afraid of you. I'm too strong. What? I'm too little. I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious. Never give in. Never, never, never. In nothing, great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. Men will still say this was their finest hour. What we do in life echoes in eternity. I'm gonna show you how great I am.
