And this one man, in one minute, in one meeting, changed my life.

Past simple

What happened for me personally when I was a teen, between the age of 13 to 17, I got into an enormous amount of trouble with the law.

Past continuous

I did a lot of unethical things, and I was getting myself into so much trouble.

And I had one mentor that my brother introduced me to.

He was a very successful philanthropist, entrepreneur.

And he agreed to meet with me for lunch one day.

And he asked me, like, why are you doing these things?

I just want to make some money, and I just want to fit in.

He goes, but you seem like you're intelligent.

Why don't you just use your brain's natural abilities?

I go, well, listen, based on my education, and based on what the teachers have told me, I'm not going to do very well in life.

And I left high school in grade 11, thinking that I'm not worthy enough, I'm not smart enough, I'm not good enough.

Because he asked me, what goals do you have?

I said, what do you mean, what goals do I have?

I said, I want to go out this weekend to the bar.

I want to find a nice young lady to maybe hook up with.

And he says, no, no, what are your bigger goals?

And he said, fill out these pieces of paper.

And on the pieces of paper, it said, what age do you want to retire by?

So I said, I want to retire by the time I'm 45. $3 million.

And so I came back on Monday, and he looked at it, and he asked me one question.

And he said, are you interested in achieving these goals?

I was sitting at my desk there at his office.

And I asked him, Mr. Brown, I said, what's the difference?

And he said, if you're interested, you'll do what's convenient.

You'll come up with stories and excuses and reasons why you can't.

And you'll use your education as an excuse.

You'll use the fact your father was a cab driver and was a gambler and never had any money.

You'll use all of that as your reasons why you can't.

He says, but if you're committed, you will do whatever it takes.

You'll let go of all the reasons you currently have that formulating your identity of yourself.

And you'll learn how to let that go and become who you are destined to become.
