  4. The speech from Eric Thomas was tremendous and impacted me into my daily life. I truly believe that in order to be successful a person must know how to sacrifice. I'm willing to sacrifice my materials such as my phone, television, and my free time in order for me to excel in my classes. Another belief that I thought was amazing was when he said "If you want to succeed as bad as you want to breath, then you'll be successful". It can be a great eulogy not just for me but for others because it can remind a person to stay on track and focus. With that being said, I know that it can be my motto for this semester.

  5. After watching this video I really feel empowered, and that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. It really inspired me that I can do it if I work hard. I loved the example he used when he was describing the part of him underneath the water. He said you have to work as if you're drowning and wanting to breath. That you have to want it that bad and you must not give up.

  7. I would like to say that every body have to star from the bottom and work there way up at the top.Nothing is really free in this world;if you think about it success is not really free, because just like the man said in the video you have to go through pain and all type of test to have the success the you want. The harder you want your success, the sooner you will get it. The questions I ask myself from time to time is am I starving for my success?, am I dehydrated or thirsty for my success?, or am I just watching opportunities past me by while I am stuck at the bottom? My answer now would be that I am starving for success. Now how in the world can you tell? I am here that's how. Now will the real Demitri Layton stand up.
