The superlative

the most poignant seven words ever uttered in any speech anywhere.

The imperative

Don't ever give up those great people, didn't I now have a responsibility to also not ever give up live, fight like hell.

And when you get too tired to fight, then lay down and rest and let somebody else fight for you.

You can't be scared to die for the truth.

The truth is the only thing that's ever gonna be constant.

And you can't fear what might happen to you if you were to tell the truth.

Because what happens to you if you don't tell the truth, is worse than telling the truth will ever be.

Never give up, work hard and continue to learn.

Not only do I talk to talk, I try and walk the walk essentially, and I would say this to anybody.

Is that you know, it's really, um, it's easy.

Thio embrace hopelessness when things seem insurmountable.

And yet, uh, it's actually just a matter of time until all of the elements come together for things to be all right.

I mean, I believe that, you know, most, uh, difficult situations will resolve themselves if you are persistent And if you don't, if you don't give up entirely and that's what I never did, I never gave up.

If you're convinced that you're going to fail or fall or get hurt, that will come to fruition because that's what you're visualizing.

I never you know, I was willing to get hurt along the way.

But I didn't visualized myself getting hurt along the way on, and I think that's what that's what stops a lot of people.

And that's really what separates a lot of people from being world champions air from being as good as they can because they stopped at some point saying, Oh, no, I am not capable of this or I'll probably get hurt doing this And if you approach anything with that hesitation, you're gonna fail.

I always approached it like this is going to work.

I'm going to figure this out even if it takes me hundreds of attempts.

Um, and I wasn't, you know, the idea of falling getting back up again.

When you're young and you're a kid, you have so many.

I grew up in the hood, man, Flint, Michigan, where I'm from.

And they say if you tear through, you could do anything you wanna dio.

And then as soon as you go to class, you tell them what you wanna do it.

Like, what makes you think you're gonna do something like that, man?

What s So I started to call people on that I started to call people on that.

I'm gonna just try something that I've never done before.

If you just force yourself to take a couple small steps, there's always a surprise.

The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill, e.

You know, you might have more talent than me.

You might be sexier than the you might be all of those things.

But if we get on the treadmill together right, there's two things you're getting off first or I'm gonna die.

I wasn't the richest, but I had a rich family and in spirit and in support.

And, um, you know, standing here with 19 championships is something I never thought what happened, you know, just I went on the courts with just a ball and a racket in the hope and and that's all I had.

And it is inspiring for all you guys out there that want to do something and want to be the best that you can be and want to do the best that you can do.

You just never give up because you never know what can happen.

I run or something like that, and I'm all jacked up.

Bodies broken, minds broken, spirits broken.

I started to say What if I could pull this off when I first walked into the Navy?

He looked at me and said it only been 35 African Americans and 70 years make it through.

You know, I said to myself, What if I could be the 36th?

It's the what if I can pull off a miracle?

What if I can become someone that no one thinks I can be?

And just that just me talking about that I have the hair going up on my arms because it makes me just like what if never, ever, ever give up Chicken soup for the soul was rejected by 144.

We don't want to publish a collection of short stories.

People don't buy, um, collections of short stories.

There's never been, you know, successful, uh, chain of doing that.

We spent 14 months trying to find a publisher, and we go toe New York with our agent.

Eventually, our agent gave us the book back and said, I can't sell this.

So we went to the National Booksellers Association Convention down in Anaheim.

We went from Booth to Booth to Booth for three days, and there were 4000 publishers represented.

It was late on the third day that a little publisher from Florida, after we've gotten over 144 rejections said, Well, read it.

And then they said, We said, Well, how many copies do you think will sell after they said Yeah, well by it a couple weeks later and said, We'll publish it And they said, Well, maybe 20,000 if we're lucky.

And we said Our goal is to sell a million and half of the year and a half now Have you ever told someone your dream and had him laugh out loud at you?

Now, if we had given up after 100 publishers had said, No, I wouldn't be standing here today.

And so you've got to be willing to persevere because we didn't take no see, When the world says no, you say next only five or six billion people out there you could go and ask, right?

There's over 4000 publishers just here in the state of California.

So what we have is this endless possibility.

It's as if the universe tests our commitment.
