DeepSummary
The transcript features motivational speakers Eric Thomas and Les Brown sharing insights on the importance of persistence, patience, and perseverance in achieving one's goals and dreams. They emphasize the need to keep trying, even in the face of adversity, setbacks, and challenges, as each failure presents an opportunity to learn and grow.
Thomas and Brown encourage listeners to believe in themselves, their abilities, and their potential for greatness. They emphasize the need to affirm oneself, catch negative self-talk, and remind oneself of the power and talents within. Every mistake, obstacle, and barrier is an opportunity to learn and try again, rather than give up.
The speakers urge listeners to be relentless in pursuing their dreams, to keep going no matter what comes their way, and to always look for ways to break through and win. They assert that the rewards, productivity, and promise lie at the end of the pain and struggle, and that giving up means forfeiting those rewards.

- “Every time you find yourself saying that you can't do something, putting yourself down, being negative about you and the possibilities for you, you've got to literally catch yourself and you've got to affirm to yourself in the process. Hey, hey, hey, hey. No, no, no. I can make it. There's some way this can happen for me.“ by Les Brown
