Barack Obama’s Advice For Youth’s Who Want To Be Rich.
When I was a young adult, I read a quote that changed my life. It went something like this. “If you can live five years of your life the way other people cannot live, you’ll enjoy the rest of your life the way most people cannot.” Because of this quote and many other inspirations I got when I was going into the business world at age 21, I was not expecting instant success. I expected to fail for a decade and that was the reason why I endured those tough years without complaining or making excuses. Today, I’ll be sharing with you what I consider to be the best advice from former US President Barack Obama for anyone who wants to be rich.

Here it is. Barack Obama said, “making your mark in the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, It takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failures along the way.” Listen, the reason why most people are poor is not that the system was rigged against them. It’s because it’s tough to be rich. The reason why many marriages don’t work is not that it’s normal. It’s because it’s tough to maintain a blissful union between two people. The reason why most people don’t succeed in life is not that someone stops them. It’s because it’s tough, hard, and difficult. And most people are not willing to go through those fires. How is this supposed to help you?
Well, over the years, I’ve noticed that most people make excuses and complain because they expect life to be easy. This 23-year-old college grad wants to start a business, but he has no money. And so he blames the government for not helping him. Well, I’m sorry. You have to do all you can, start as rough as you can, and fight as hard as you can. It’s not easy. I heard you saying Yes. It was never easy for anyone. So fight with your last blood for the victory you desire. This 25-year-old entrepreneur has started his business three years and he has experienced many failures. Well, don’t complain. Fight on. It’s just normal. Everyone who has ever achieved any great thing has gone through that same rough road. This 32-year-old employee hates his job but is afraid of what might happen if he follows his passion for music. Well, don’t worry about yourself. I know what will happen to you. You’ll fail. Fail and fail many times. That’s the thing. That’s the road. That’s the path that leads to success. It’s tough. It’s hard, it’s difficult. And that’s why only a few people ever do it. Making your mark on the world is hard, if it were easy, everybody will do it, but it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment and it comes with plenty of failures along the way.
Winston Churchill said, “if you’re going through the hell, keep going.” After the long walk to freedom, after Mandela fought for the freedom of his people for many years, including long years spent behind bars as a prisoner, he wrote his autobiography with a title, “The Long Walk to Freedom.” Truly, his life’s battle was a long journey of horror. Also, will yours be, if you want to be successful, every journey to success is a long journey. If it were a short journey, everyone would follow it. If it were easy, everyone would do it. I sacrificed eight long years of my life to fight for my financial freedom. Those eight years were like 80. I failed. I cried. I suffered rejections and disappointments. But I wouldn’t turn back. I wouldn’t turn back because it was easy, but because I knew the difficulties I was going through were just as normal as anything. If you want real success, don’t expect it tomorrow because it’s a long and tough journey. Thank you for watching our videos, please like and share it with your friends.
